FIRST CARD:
Photon Butterfly AssassinLIGHT
Rank 4
Warrior/Xyz/Effect
2 x Level 4 Monster
Once per turn, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card and selecting 1 Defense Position Monster your opponent controls. Change the selected monster to face-up Attack Position, and have it lose 600 ATK.
2100/1800
A super mini-Black Rose Dragon but actually about the same difficulty to summon now that Debris is at 1. This card essentially lets you Rose Restriction any monster your opponent controls that's in Defense Position and drop it 600 ATK points... which lets her destroy any monster with 2600 or less ATK thats in Defense at the time which won't happen often... This and the other butterfly cards would be good in a format where position changes actually mattered... Moonlit Papillion and Ageha are both quite nice though... Especially in a fun Watt build. Back on topic... I'd never XYZ summon this over Black Corn which has the same stats... and actually murderes the Gantetsu or Zenmaines whereas this enables your other monsters to hit it but it's rank makes having other monsters hard. It's just not worth it...
NEXT CARD:
No. 25 Fullmetal Photoglide - Focus Force
LIGHT
Rank 6
Machine/Xyz/Effect
2x Level 6 Monster
Once per turn, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card and select 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls. Negate the selected monster's effect(s) until the end of the turn. You can use this effect during your opponent's turn.
2800/2400
This card is hands down the strongest Rank 6 monster... IT's effect though is meh... It can unlike Photon Streak Bouncer negate the effect of the monster for the entire turn... and can preemptively strike against things like Shi En and Barkion/Beast. Or as I saw in a duel recently the awesome might of Lightray Gearfried. This card is just as easy to summon as any other Rank 6 meaning Hieroglyph support indirectly... This card depending on the situation I'd use over Photon Streak Bouncer... first i'd use it against Grapha, or any other monster with 2750 or Less ATK points. It's also a LIGHT monster but so is Streak Bouncer... It's a Machine meaning in some Machine deck somewhere that spams out level 6's it becomes quite useful. but it's main draw is it's strength and how it can pre-empt your opponents big effects and unlike Photon Streak Bouncer negate them for the entire turn in the event they have a multi-use effect like Barkion/Beast.
NEXT CARD:
Gaia Dragoon, the Swift Thunder KnightWIND
Rank 7
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
2 x Level 7 Monster
You can Xyz Summon this card by placing 1 Rank 5 or 6 Xyz Monster as Xyz Material under this card. When this card is attacking a Defense Position monster, and its ATK exceeds that Monster's DEF, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
2600/2100
Ok great card is great... It can turn a Materialless Pleaides/Tiras/Adreus/Atums (After using the effect once)/Photon Streak Bouncer/ any other Rank 5 or 6 monster into a 2600 piercer that just happens to also be a Dragon... You may think Piercing isn't a big deal but in reality Piercing that doesn't require materials means... REDMD just got a target with Piercing that doesn't have to be put into the Main Deck... Also The standard Atum to REDMD combo just got that much stronger... now you can put out 5100 damage off a 2 card combo or off a 3 card combo possibly put out 8100 damage... if you have an REDMD in hand... or feel like making 2 Atum which is quite easy to do Wattdragon+Shiyu=Atum... Atum grabs a Shiyu from deck by detaching Wattdragon... Shiyu tributes any non-Geiv Hieroglyph which grabs Wattdragon back... overlay again for Atum who detaches Wattdragon for REDMD... REDMD grabs back Watt Dragon. Make both Atum into Gaia... Banish REDMD for REDMD gg. It just lets Hieroglyphs OTK easier than before is all.
NEXT CARD:
Hieroglyph Dragon King - AtumsLIGHT
Rank 6
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
2x Level 6 Dragon-Type Monster
Once per turn, you can remove 1 Xyz Material from this card to select 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Deck and Special Summon it with its ATK and DEF changed to 0. During the turn you activated this effect, this card cannot attack.
2400/2100
Broke card is Broke. Shu + Wattdragon or even Isis + Wattdragon or Tfeni + Shu or Tfeni + Wattdragon... oh there's more... any 2 Level 6 Dragons... not hard... Lightpulsar is Level 6... Prime Material is Level 6... Wattdragon is Level 6... Genesis Dragon... Barkion (Actually not that bad of an idea to use Barkion to make this... Atum grabs REDMD who brings back Barkion... Xyz Change for Gaia Dragoon... So I've went over this card so many times in past reviews that it's not much left to say anymore... except remember that this card can grab ANY Dragon-Type monster in your entire deck that can be Special Summoned.
NEXT CARD:
Hieroglyph God Dragon - EnneadLIGHT
Rank 8
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
2x Level 8 Monster
Once per turn, you can activate this effect by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. Releasing any number of Monsters you control or in your hand, and destroy cards on the field up to the number of monsters Released.
3000/2400
Well well well... you finally show yourself true boss of the Hieroglyphic Dragons. This card is god.... for Hieroglyphs... remove 1 Material and suddenly for every hieroglyph on field or in hand you get a free destruction... including himself if you wish to refill the graveyard. He's the go to option for Rank 8 second place being Thunder End Dragon and Third place being Gimmick Puppet - Giant Killer and coming in last is the Situational OTK NGEPD lol. Though for most other decks Giant Killer gets first place lol. Good card is good not much to say about a 3000 beater... that can end games and with two Hieroglyphs in hand and 2 targets on field can legitimately make a copy of himself.
NEXT CARD:
Dragon Djinn Queen DragoonDARK
Rank 4
Dragon/Xyz/Effect
2x Level 4 Monster
While this card is face-up on the field, Dragon-Type Monster other than "Dragon Djinn Queen Dragoon" cannot be destroyed by battle. Also, once per turn, you can remove 1 Xyz Material from this card to select and Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher Dragon-Type Monster in your Graveyard. The Monster Special Summoned by this effect has its effect(s) negated, and cannot attack this turn.
2200/1200
Great card is Great it can first off protect all other Dragons from being destroyed by battle... but it can also spam out any Dragon from grave that's level 5 or Higher... meaning you big beaters come out for free... they can't quite attack yet but they will be able to the next turn. She's best at reviving monsters like Lightpulsar Dragon... because they have no on field effects but will activate when they hit the grave.
LAST MONSTER CARD and LAST CARD OF THE DAY:
Inzektor Exa-StagDARK
Rank 5
Insect/Xyz/Effect
2x Level 5 Insect-Type Monster
Once per turn, you can remove 1 of this card's Xyz Materials to select 1 Monster your opponent controls or in your opponent's Graveyard and equip it to this card as an Equip Card. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to half the ATK and DEF of the monster(s) equipped by this effect respectively .
800/800
At first site this card is terrible... but when you think about it... card is quite nice... you can Absorb any monster your opponent controls like Relinquished lol or if they control no monsters take their biggest Grave monster... It won't put this card to high stats but being able to take their on field monsters is major... and thanks to Gullho making this is quite easy. Dragonfly>Gullho>Centipede>Gullho>Dragonfly/Hornet in hand depending on hand... GG if you take a monster lol... just remember only Insects can make this card. so it's quite nearly pure Inzektor support and helps absolutely nothing else.
Anyway that's all the monsters in GAOV and I must say this set has to most monsters I've seen... 10 Xyz monsters... 40 other monsters... so much... 50 monster set... leaves 15 Spells and 15 Traps... I hope the TCG Exclusives make Hieroglyphs able to compete with the top 3 decks on equal footing without being too broken and give Dark World a way to actually become relevant even though the Side decked cards for Inzektors kill them so hard. Anyway tomorrow I'll be doing as scheduled from yesterday thank you so much for viewing and please comment if you liked it.
