All Hail the Great Monarchs!-Official Guide to "Vassal Monarchs"(Updated)

(ArcKnight) Hello there. Awhile ago, I was making a full set spoiler for CROS like we were always doing but unfortunately,the "Blogger" has malfunctioned and corrupt my whole post(I was like on the 42nd card then every characters on that article got distorted.) Anyway,I will just make another article about the things I like in Yu-Gi-Oh!,and one of them is the new "Vassal" archetype in CROS.If you look at these cards,you will notice that they are the younger version of our monarch which I found very adorable.In addition,they are good fodder to summon the big "Monarchs" consistently.And because of that,I decided to compile these new and amazing "Vassal" cards.Here they are!


From Humble Beginnings...

Fuuetei Kashin Garm / Garm the Storm Vassal
Level 3 WIND Winged Beast-Type Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
You can only use each effect of “Garm the Storm vassal” once per turn.
(1) You can return 1 Tribute Summoned monster you control to the hand; Special Summon this card from your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn.
(2) If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can add 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF from your Deck to your hand, except “Garm the Storm Vassal”.






Review:
Just one of the new "Vassal" card that can make a "Monarch" deck consistent.The fact that it can search other "Vassals" solidifies the whole concept.Furthermore,it recycles our "Monarchs" which can then re-used their trigger effects.This card is a great addition to our arsenal of emperors so I suggest RUN 3.

Raitei Kashin Mithra / Mithra the Thunder Vassal
Level 2 LIGHT Thunder-Type Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
You can only use each effect of “Mithra the Thunder vassal” once per turn.
(1) During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, Special Summon 1 “Vassal Token” (Thunder-Type/LIGHT/Level 1 /ATK 800/DEF 1000) to your opponent’s side of the field in Defense Position. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn.
(2) If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: During your Main Phase this turn, you can Tribute Summon 1 monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)


Review:
I never thought that "Zaborg,the Thunder Monarchs" has a female counterpart.This card is simple,you can easily summon this card with ease.If your wondering why it summons a random token,if you are a "Monarch" player before,there are times that you wanted to push for damage but your "Monarchs" will trigger and remove itself because its the only card on the field.With these card,you are ensured to avoid self destruction.I suggest RUN 3.

Chitei Kashin Landrobe / Landrobe the Rock Vassal
Level 4 EARTH Rock-Type Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
You can only use each effect of “Landrobe the Rock Vassal” once per turn. (1) You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, change that target to face-down Defense Position. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn. (2) If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can target 1 monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF in your Graveyard, except “Landrobe the Rock Vassal”; add it to your hand.




Review:
How adorable that pic.It is "Grandmarg,the Rock Monarch's" younger servant.Even though I do not play "Monarchs",I still want to get a copy of this card for my collection.As for the effect,it recycles your vassals after you tributed this cute little rock.It also has the inbuilt "Cyber Dragon",Ghostrick Jackfrost esque effect to make sure that you can have a tribute fodder for your "Monarchs".RUN 3

Jatei Kashin Lucius / Lucius the Shadow Vassal
Level 1 DARK Fiend-Type Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
You can only use each effect of “Lucius the Shadow Vassal” once per turn.
(1) You can banish 1 Level 5 or higher monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn.
(2) If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can look at all Set cards your opponent controls. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect’s activation.





Review:

He can be useful as another tribute fodder by just banishing a "Monarch" monster in your grave but I think this card is a little bit slow.Also,his second effect is a bit random.No advantage at all unless you want to be a fortune teller(predicting your opponent's set cards).Not unless this can cause those set cads miss the timing lol.

RUN 0 or 3 ,really,not that useful in our strategy.

Entei Kashin Berlines / Berlines the Firestorm Vassal
Level 3 FIRE Pyro Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
You can only use each effect of “Berlines the Firestorm Vassal” once per turn.
(1) You can discard 1 card; Special Summon this card from your hand. During this turn, you cannot Special Summon monster from the Extra Deck.
(2) If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: You can reveal your opponent’s hand, and banish 1 card there until the end of the turn.








Review:
Finally we have our FIRE "Vassal".Basically,it combos pretty well with Lucius the Shadow Vassal. However,it offers the same mediocre effect just like the little caius.Banishing a card on your opponent's hand is a little random knowing that it can go back to your opponent's hand during the end of the turn.

Cool art tho.

RUN 0-3 If you find it useful.

Escher the Frost Vassal
Level 4 WATER Aqua Effect Monster
ATK 800
DEF 1000
(1) If your opponent controls 2 or more card(s) in their Spell & Trap card zone;You can special summon this card (from your hand).

Review:
Who would've thought that "Vassals" can be an archetype.This is the very first "Vassal" released way back then.It's condition really compliment "Mobius the Frost Monarch" as it destroys up to 2 Spell & Trap cards. It is quite descent but it is outlassed by new "Vassals" It is also very dependent on your opponent cards.
RUN 0-3 If you insist lol.


Behold the true Dominion!

Shin Teiou Ryuuiki / The True Monarch Dominion
Field Spell Card
(1) If you have no cards in your Extra Deck and control a Tribute Summoned monster while your opponent does not control a Tribute Summoned monster, your opponent cannot Special Summon from their Extra Deck.
(2) Tribute Summoned monsters you control gain 800 ATK during damage calculations when they attack an opponent’s monster.
(3) Once per turn: You can have 1 monster with 2800 ATK and 1000 DEF in your hand lose 2 Levels until the end of the turn.






Review:
At last we have our true Field Spell card(let's graduate from the good 'ol orichalcos).

It helps us to push for damage and we know that "Monarchs" struggle from monster who has greater attack.Also,it's lockdown ability for extra deck monster is very insane.

RUN 1-2


Wrap-up:
I really wanted to post a full CROS spoiler but blogger has prevented me from doing it for some reason lol.
Hopefully,you have fun reading my article.Don't forget to share this to your friends!

Also,Happy 1st Anniversary to our blog.It's been a year of inspiring and respecting the game we love!

So long!

(CROS)I "Saw",I "Chain",I "Frightfur"!- Saikyo Jump News

(ArcKnight) Today,I am going to compile some of the confirmed (and unconfirmed) news about the new "Fluffal" related cards in "Crossover Souls".Here are some of the confirmed cards based on my speculation post on my previous article.Looks like my speculations are legit.Anyway,,,,,

Without further ado,here they are!(Courtesy of Saikyo Jump Magazine)

Saikyo Jump Magazine Scans

The New "Edge Imp" monsters!!

 Edge Imp Saw
Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type Effect Monster
ATK 500
DEF 1000
You can only use the effect of “Edge Imp Saw” once per turn. (1) When this card is Normal Summoned: You can send 1 “Furnimal” monster from your hand to the Graveyard; draw ? card(s?), then return 1 card from your hand to the top or bottom of your Deck.

-Basically,this card is their new themed draw card.I just dont get it why is it necessary to send furnimal monsters.I think,sending dead "Edge Imp" for a draw is better tho.Otherwise,it is still a great card to add to our pile.

 Edge Imp Chain
Level 4 DARK Fiend-Type Effect Monster
ATK 1200
DEF 1800
You can only use 1 “Edge Imp Chain” effect per turn, and only once that turn.
(1) When this card declares an attack: You can add 1 {???} from your Deck to your hand.
(2) If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 {???} {card?} from your Deck to your hand.

-I can speculate that the first effect adds a "Fluffal" then the second searches "Edge Imps"(or vise versa).This is the best Edge imp that can actually plus.

Hey! It's a Flying Sheep!!!

Fluffal Sheep
Level 2 EARTH Fairy-Type Effect Monster
ATK 400
DEF 800
You can only use the (2) effect of “Furnimal Sheep” once per turn.
(1) During your Main Phase (?), if you control a “Furnimal” monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).
(2) You can return 1 other “Furnimal” monster you control to the hand; Special Summon 1 “Edge Imp” monster from your hand or Graveyard.

-Now,this is the one of the better fluffal aside from bear,dog and owl that you should put at 3-of.With this,you can recycle used Fluffal dogs and Owls so you can use them again next turn.The special summon part makes sure that you can perform your fusion summons.

 

 Death Toy Chain Sheep / Frightfur Sheep
Level 5 DARK Fiend-Type Fusion Effect Monster
ATK 2000
DEF 2000
“Edge Imp Chain” + 1 “Fluffal” monster
You can only use the (2) effect of “Frightfur” once pe turn.
(1) If this card attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.
(2) If this card is destroyed by battle or your opponent’s card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, but it gains 800 ATK.
-This card may now serve as their new first turn play card due to its recursion ability.In addition,cards such as "Honest","Bujinki Habakiri',"Yosenju Tsujik" etc. are bane to this card then if they manage to respond a massive "Torrential Tribute",this card will just go back bigger and let your opponent feel the "Chains"!!! (Well.that's a bit harsh tho )


Deathtoy Mad Chimera / Frightfur Mad Chimera
Level 8 DARK Fiend-Type Fusion Effect Monster
ATK 2800
DEF 2000
3 “Frightfur” monsters
Must Fusion Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You can only use the (2) effect of “Frightfur Mad Chimera” once per turn.
(1) If this card attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.
(2) When this card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field, but its ATK becomes halved.
(3) This card gains 300 ATK for each monster you control that is owned by your opponent.


--A confirmed Ultra Rare in this set.As of now,we don't have an easy access to this card due to how stiff its summoning requirements are.Furthermore,it doesn't offer any form of defense unlike "Frightfur Sheep".Actually,its stats is pretty much just a bumped "Frightfur Sheep"(Because you can just bump Sheep with your opponent's monster with a higher attack then return with a massive 2800 ATK then proceed to attack again.)But I admit,the artwork is again,pretty cool.


Some of the pictures presented are actually a clearer version of them in the anime but their effects are gathered from a trusted ocg source.

Happy Dueling
