Today's card is Shien's Squire, a creepy deepy
monkey dude who somehow has something to do with the
Sams. Squire is a 1-star earth warrior with
negligible stats. He lets you drop him from your
hand whenever your Six Sam battles, and that Sam
won't be destroyed by battle that turn. Kind of like
a much suckier, archtype themed Battle Fader. I
guess this could be used to keep your Shi-en alive
for a turn, but if something's threatening to
destroy Shi-en in battle, it's a good bet that it'll
be able to do it again next turn (y'know, unless you
have Dark Hole or something...). On the plus side,
Squire is a tuner, so you can do some shenanigans
with the 4-star Sams to make Shi-en, though Kageki +
Kagemusha is much better / reliable. Over all,
Squire's not horrible, but Sams have a lot of
support that's lot's better than our sad little
monkey friend.
Traditional: 1/5

Art: Reminds me of one of my teammates...
Fun Fact: Almost as useless than the monkeys in
Pokemon!

Shien's Squire is a nice piece of support for Six
Samurai, which few people seem to be using. He's a
level 1 EARTH Warrior tuner with 300 ATK and 700
DEF. The stats are downright useless, but being a
Warrior means he can be used for the summon of
Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En. He can also be
summoned using Reinforce Truth or searched with
Reinforcement of the Army.
While he's in your hand, he can be discarded to make
any Six Samurai not be destroyed by battle during
this turn. That can be useful for keeping a Shi En
around, using Zanji to attack larger monsters, or
simply to keep a weaker Samurai in play for the
turn. Since he has Shien in his name, he can be
summoned using Gateway of the Six's effect.
Generally Kagemusha of the Six Samurai is the better
way to summon Shi En, but this little guy has a few
extra tricks that Kagemusha doesn't. He can be a
great addition to any Samurai deck.
