Beast Decks get one of the biggest boosts from Duelist Revolution. A lot of Team Unicorn’s best cards from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s are Beast monsters and cards that work together with Beasts, so it’s no surprise that there’s a World Premiere Trap Card tailor-made for Beast Duelists.
Select 1 face-up Beast-Type monster you control and 1 monster your opponent controls. Destroy your monster, and return the opponent's monster to the Deck.
Super Rush Recklessly is a powerful card that eliminates 1 of your opponent’s monsters in one of the most final ways possible: by sending it back to the Deck. It has some very real advantages over cards you’ve seen before like Bottomless Trap Hole and DimensionalPrison:
-It can send monsters back to the Deck, regardless of how high or low their ATK is. WhileBottomless Trap Hole can only eliminate bigger monsters, Stampede gets rid of anything.
-You can activate it at any time: you don’t have to use it when the monster is Summoned, and you don’t have to wait for the monster to attack.
-The monster goes back to the Deck instead of the Graveyard or being removed from play. That means it can’t be Special Summoned back with cards like Call of the Haunted, Gottoms‘Emergency Call, D.D.R – Different Dimension Revival, or Infernity Launcher. Monsters effects like Sangan’s and XX-Saber Darksoul’s won’t be able to activate.
The catch? While you get to send your opponent’s monsters back to the Deck, you also have to destroy 1 of your face-up Beasts. But there are plenty of Beast cards that can help you work around that, and you can even use it to your advantage.
These monsters are big fans of Super Rush Recklessly.
XX-Saber Darksoul has an effect that gets you another monster from your Deck, so destroying it is balanced by the extra monster it gets you. Of course, no matter what Beast you destroy with Super Rush Recklessly you can always get an extra monster on the field to replace it thanks to Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest! Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest is one of the most powerful monsters available, and you can Special Summon it from your hand or Graveyard whenever one of your Beasts is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Because your monster is destroyed at the same time your opponent’s gets returned to their Deck, you can activate Green Baboon’s effect to Special Summon it after your Super Rush Recklessly resolves. Super Rush Recklessly can get rid of your weakest Beast, get rid of your opponent’s best monster, and, as a result, Special Summon the 2600 ATK Green Baboon from your Graveyard.
Super Rush Recklessly is just one of the new Beast cards in Duelist Revolution. Check outPlayful Possum: it’s a Level 2 monster with 800 ATK, and if your opponent has a monster with higher ATK on the field, you can destroy the Possum and Special Summon it in your next Standby Phase.
Playful Possum’s effect gives Beast Duelists another way to Special Summon Green Baboon, and since you get Possum back later you won’t lose a monster. Tune the Level 2 Possum withX-Saber Airbellum, and you can Synchro Summon Naturia Beast or the new ThunderUnicorn.
Speaking of Synchro Summons, Mine Mole is a Level 3 Beast that can survive a battle it loses once per turn. If it’s sent to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material for a Beast-Type monster, you get to draw a card: pair it with the Level 2 Beast-Type Tuner Elephun and you’ve got a great combo. You can even use Rescue Cat to Special Summon Mine Mole and Elephun from your Deck, trading the Cat for Naturia Beast or Thunder Unicorn plus a free draw with MineMole’s effect.
Summon Rescue Cat, Special Summon Elephun and Mine Mole, and Synchro Summon Naturia Beast or Thunder Unicorn to draw a card.
The new Beast monsters in Duelist Revolution help you Special Summon and Synchro Summon, and Super Rush Recklessly takes advantage of that by turning your extra Beasts into trouble for your opponent’s monsters. With so many combos and high-impact plays, Beast Duelists are going to be busy!
