Tour Guide from the Underworld
I'm sure you all saw people going after the Tour
Guide this weekend--and not just because she's the
new Dark Magician Girl. She instantly pulls out a
monster from your deck, an instant +1 to you
Advantage-ers. She isn't so great now, but once we
have access to Exceeds, this will be an instant
Level 3 Exceed from anywhere!
And she can even summon Sangan.
4/5
Art: Did this game need another Dark Magician Girl?
Fun Fact: They finally killed Osama. You heard it
from me.
Tomorrow: But they already made the Level 7 one...

Tour Guide from the Underworld
One of the newest cards to join the Yugioh card
pool, Tour Guide from the Underworld offers the fan
base a peek into the future of Yugioh sets: Exceed
Summons. Its effect has a limitation built-in that
prevents it from being used as a Synchro Material
monster, which is a dead give-away what Konami was
thinking when they made the card. This restriction
should only be a factor for the immediate future,
however, as Exceeds that gain more support and have
more varied summoning requirements are released,
Tour Guide’s versatility should also see a dramatic
rise.
It has very little bearing on the Traditional
format, at least any that I can see. It does not
really help any FTK/OTK designs already present, so
its utility in Traditional should be the lowest
possible.
In the Advanced format is where the card should
shine, “should” being the keyword here since we
barely have an idea of what Exceed monsters will be
released. It is a 1-card play into any Rank 3
Exceed, and given any present field support (such as
monsters already present or additionally summoned),
could easily make an Exceed with a heavier
requirement (three Level 3 monsters, for example).
It requires no previous conditions to be met in
order to be summoned, a plus, with the only caveat
that a level 3 Fiend type monster exist in the deck.
This is the stickiest point when it comes to this
card, no pun intended. It would almost definitely
need to have a deck built around it, but in return,
could offer amazing synergy towards Exceed Summons
that very few monsters can presently match; a
worthwhile investment I would say.
