(RespectYGOcardOFtheDay) "Shining Shimmering Purple Centaur" and the decks you can use it with-"Shinki Saintorea" card discussion

             (ArcKnight) Hey! Arc is back! Today,I am going to feature a new card on "The Secrets of Eternity" booster pack(SECE) that is bound to be released next week!

             Set 904 will give us another reason to love our rank 2 based decks(or whatever deck that can make rank 2s).This time,Konami brought us a new Flying centaur that everyone will surely love!
Here is the card:

SECE-JP052
Shinki Saintorea
Light/Beast-Warrior / Xyz / Effect
RK2 2000/0
2 Level 2 monsters
(1) This card with Xyz Materials cannot be destroyed by battle. (2) At the end of the damage step that this card battled an opponent’s monster: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; return that opponent’s monster to the hand.

 Oh! This is a sweet 2000 attacker that can bounce a monster?
What else can you ask for?And besides,this is the first 2k attacker rank 2 monster and we don't have that much.Looking closer,this monster is indestructible by battle.Meaning,you can battle your opponent's monster on your turn then you can now remove a threat like "Evilswarm Ophion".This is also one of the strongest rank 2 monster that is not only focused on pure offense but also on defense!

Here are some of the decks that you can splash "Shinki Saintorea"

1.)Frog Monarch

"Des Croaking this 2014"

Frog monarch is a popular deck way back 2008 and one of the top picks of usual players on a budget because of its versatility and surprise factor.Before,the focus of this deck is to farm your "Treeborn Frogs" and "Ronintoadin" then tributing them to summon the very powerful "Monarchs" such as "Caius,the Shadow Monarch" and "Raiza,the Storm Monarch".Now,even without your "Monarchs",you can make an offensive move by using "Shinki Saintorea".You can use your "Swap Frogs" and "Ronintoadin" as the main materials for this xyz monster.This new xyz monster will serve as another boss monster for this deck.

2.)Baby Raccoons

Did you miss them? Or should I say,"Did you ever played Raccoons before?" .Do you want to turn your baby raccoons into beastly flying centaurs? Oh yes! definitely! With the advent of "Obedience Schooled" and "Valeryfrown,the Mythical Beast of the Forest",you can get your engine going faster.With "Shinki Saintorea", you are now entitled to have your monster removal after establishing your "Sandayu,Beast lock".Just be warned,you cannot special summon "Shinki Saintorea" after you use the effect of "Obedience Schooled" because it only allows you to summon "Beast" monsters the turn you used it so you better use your spent "Tantan,the Baby Raccoon" or "Ponpoko,the Baby Raccoon" so you can summon Saintorea.

3.)Prophecy

"Hey! I have a magical idea!" -Spellbook Magician of Prophecy

Your favorite spellcaster deck has a new toy to play with! Sometimes,you opt to use your "Spellbook of Fate" to eliminate your opponent's pesky monster that is hindering your play and with only "Spellbook Magician of Prophecy" sitting on your field doing magic tricks,you are susceptible to attacks therefore you are prone to heavy damage.Now,you can overlay your spent Spellbook Magicians to summon a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle at the same time and bounce an opposing monster.This is a good counter vs. Thunder king Rai-oh or Big beaters.But before you make your shinka plays,be warned because it is a beast-warrior and not a spellcaster monster.Still,it is a good card to pile on your extra deck.

4.)Malicevorous

"Now we have something to cook"-Malicevorous

Oh! Malicevorous! Our master "Dark Mist" would be so proud! Have you ever thought about them? Honestly? Well,let me just remind you.Malicevorous is a Fiend-type archetype composed of all level 2 monsters that can swarm using their effects.Before,their main focus is to summon "Number 96:Dark Mist","Gachi-Gachi-Gantentsu" and other know rank 2s.Today,they can now do some killing.(using their knives?).Interesting deck to use our powerful xyz!

And last but not the least!

5.)Agent Fairies

There's a new reason to pay 500.Your "Mystical Shining Balls" and "Agent of Mystery-Earth" can now be utilized to produce this new rank 2 xyz monster.Other than "Master Hyperion",they don't have other sources of monster removal in a form of monster card.Now,they can summon "Shinka Saintorea" if their "Hyperion" plays fails.







Nonetheless,this card deserve some love due to the usefulness of this card.Definitely it is a card worth using.Actually when I saw the art of this card,I have a feeling that they will make a "Shinka" archetype.Isn't it cool to have a deck full of different colored flying centaurs? for me it's amazing and whoever conceptualized this card is eloquent!
Stay tune for more exciting news and reviews about the game we love!
Together,let's all RespectYGO!!
