Advanced Dark

This post will be beneath the State of the Blog Address but no matter this will be the last review this month as I'm honestly running out of material in terms of new cards. Most of my other choices are sorta obvious in their uses so its really hard to have interesting reviews.
Advanced Dark
Field Spell
The Attribute of all "Gem-Beast" Monster on the field as well as in the Graveyard(s) is treated as DARK. Also, if a "Ultimate Gem Lord" Monster attacks, negate the effect of the Monster selected as attack target for the duration of the Battle Phase. During the Damage Calculation of a Battle involving a "Gem-Beast" Monster you control, you can send 1 "Gem-Beast" Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to have the Battle Damage to your Life Points as a result of that Battle become 0.

REVIEW: This is quite possibly the longest text I've seen for a Field Spell card ever. This is quite possibly the most deck changing field spell ever printed. This card essentially says you can abandon how you once ran Crystal Beast in favor of a more interesting way.

Now you can make Crystal Beast into a Dark deck sounds evil right well it is evil. This card first off makes dealing damage hard for the opponent and doesn't interfere with the Continuous Spell aspect. Rare Value now helps set up Dark Armed Dragon plays. This also makes Rainbow Dark Dragon playable which can mean that Merchant Crystal is a playable deck now... set Merchant drop a ton of Crystal Beasts and other Dark monsters draw into Advanced Dark. Well now you can banish them all for the big guy. Then RFTDD for them all back. Lets be honest with ourselves though most of the time Ancient City - Rainbow Ruin is far better than this card for Crystal Beasts. This card just is a fun way to run Crystal Beasts and can quite possibly breathe new life into the deck.

I'm not saying this card is absolutely terrible or even bad this card is actually quite good. I just as it stands can't find an easy way to absolutely abuse this card yet mostly due to my lack of experience using Crystal Beasts. Well I hope you all learned something new today about this card and its possible applications and the changes it can bring to Crystal Beasts. DARK in grave means a lot now that PTDN came out so don't be surprised if you find some amazing combo thanks to this card.
