SD43-JP021 Rakuin Yuugou (Branded Fusion)
Spell
You can only activate 1 card with this card’s name per turn. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this card, except Fusion Monsters.
(1) Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that lists “Fallen of Albaz” as material from your Extra Deck, using 2 monsters from your hand, Deck, or field as Fusion Material, including at least 1 “Fallen of Albaz”.

Interesting.

This card leaves me in a weird spot, given that on the one hand it is just a "Fuse from your Deck" Fusion Spell (which are usually very dangerous), and on the other hand the Albaz theme actually needs this (to make any sensible plays) and it (thankfully) properly locks out non-Fusion monsters (unlike Fusion Destiny for the entire turn).

I guess that this card turn Springans Kitt from forgetable into a useful searcher (unless Aluber the Jester of Despia is used instead).

If anything this card will be used to cheaply put out Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon (laddering through Lubellion or Albion).

Furthermore Gold Sarcophagus might finally be a decent consideration, given that with Tri-Brigade Mercourier one can treat Gold Sarcophagus as a RotA for Springans Kitt, Albion the Shrouded Dragon and Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous.

Another use is that this is a 1-card Dragoon though it would require you to run Light Hex, unless Konami bans Dragoon next list for us TCG folk.

1. Cool it with the caps
2. Didn't stop them in 2017 when Zoodiacs Broadbull and Drident got banned like 3 weeks after their Mega Tin reprints.

Yes, but my point is still valid though as it was something Konami learned from. You have to make mistakes to learn from them.

What makes you think a Company would not put aside their thoughts for money?

I was simply listing something that could happen at some point, I never specified when in my original post. Also the aforementioned example from 2017 was an example of a move Konami made that negatively impacted a product's value, especially if people were to purchase said product after the list dropped..

You could also use Lubellion the Searing Dragon and the original Dark Magician to get the destruction + burn effect of Dragoon.

Also if anything involved in these combos should get banned it would be Predaplant Verte Anaconda, given how cheap and generic it is, while circumventing any and all balancing restrictions on these Fusion Spells.

That is also a solid option, but yeah I can certainly see an argument for Verte to get banned eventually, though in the case of the combos one can use with Albion/Lubellion, you wouldn't really need Verte, as doing so would lock you out of the combos this card would facilitate.
