Tin Goldfish is the Level 4 Tour Guide from the Underworld...That could be the entire review, but allow me to explain. Tour Guide is almost an instant Rank 3 XYZ Monster, Tin Goldfish is an almost an instant Rank 4 XYZ Monster. A Water attributed, Machine monster, with 800 attack, but 2000 defense (not that he'll stay on the Field long anyway) Tin Goldfish is a gem of a Monster.

When Normal Summoned, you're allowed to Special Summon a Level 4 Monster from your Hand. That's it, but that's enough. Hell, that's more than enough. It's a pretty fair trade off that you only get the effect when Normal Summoned, and it's a huge bonus that it's a Water Monster, as it is a great fit for most Water Decks too.

Today we are looking at: Tin Goldfish

“When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your hand.”

This is the TCG import of one of the most sought after pieces of gadget support in existence, Tin Plate Goldfish. In the OCG there was a swarm of Gadget decks that used him. Gadgets are still, arguably, one of the best counters to most of the current Meta; macro doesn’t hurt them in any way. They are also one of the only decks that can use ultimate offering, and double summon, to full potential.

Tin Goldfish (goldfish) does his job better than most other, similar effect, monsters. He not only allows the gadgets effect to resolve, he is also a machine, and has a nice round 2000 defense for those pesky hands where you can’t draw another monster. With this cards legality I hope to see some Meta impact in the TCG. I mean really, who doesn’t love the underdog?

Advanced: 5/5
