Coach Soldier Wolfbark closes this week and bring us to halfway on the countdown.  There are a few Coach Soldiers in this set, with various, yet similar effects for different elements and/or archtypes.  This guy is a bit overrated I think, but not bad.  Fire, Beast-Warrior, Level 4, with 1600 attack and 1200 defense.  He's not winning many contests there.  This guy is pretty much used to bring out an XYZ or Synchro form the Extra Deck in Fire Fist or some other Fire theme, if possible.  Once per turn, you can target (note target) a Fire, Beast-Warrior, Level 4 Monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it to your Field in face-up defense position.  It's effect(s) is(are) negated, but that's not a big deal.  Honestly, he's a little unnecessary for Fire Fist I think.  He helps, but that Deck is so fast as is, I just don't see a place for this guy.

Coach Soldier Wolfbark
FIRE/Beast-Warrior/Effect/Level 4/1600/1200
You can target 1 Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. Its effects are negated. You can only use the effect of "Coach Solider Wolfbark" once per turn.

Number 6 on our top 10 cards from Judgement of The Light is Coach Soldier Wolfbark. Coach Soldier Wolfbark belongs to the Coach archetype; a series of new FIRE Warriors and Beast-Warriors. Coach Soldier Wolfbark is an average enough card stats wise, 1600 ATK and 1200 DEF is nothing game-breaking for a level 4 but not rubbish either.
His effect is simple, Target 1 Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. This card is mainly going to see play in Fire Fist decks and is solely designed to get out Rank 4 Xyz monsters easily (a common trend). There isn’t really anything else to say about this card really.

Overall a decent support card but only really useful if you use a lot of Fire/Beast-Warriors.

Traditional: 2/5

We continue our Top 10 Judgment of the Light Countdown with our #6 card, Coach Soldier Wolfbark:
 
Level 4
FIRE
Beast-Warrior / Effect
1600 ATK / 1200 DEF
You can target 1 Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position. Its effects are negated. You can only use the effect of "Coach Solider Wolfbark" once per turn.
 
I actually had this guy much higher on my list, because he is a key component in the 4-Axis Fire Fist build; admittedly, I am not as familiar with this build as I am with the 3-Axis build, but I hear that, while not as popular as 3-Axis, it is still consistent and powerful (and from what I hear more versatile). His stats are identical to Bear (which can be hard to deal with when used in the FF Deck), right down to the Type and Attribute. But what’s important is his effect; once per turn he can bring back a Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior from your Graveyard, but its effects are negated. Now on the surface it should be very obvious what he does for the Deck. Instant Rank 4’s (Tiger King and Cardinal in particular). But if you grab a Tuner, such as Boar, then you can create Crimson Blader or BotFF – Kirin (but not much else, since you’re restricted to FIRE monsters).
 
But there’s one other thing about Wolfbark that’s very important: it is NOT a Trigger effect. It is Ignition. In other words, it is not restricted to his summoning, but rather can be done each turn as long as he survives. A small detail, but very important. If you can keep Wolfbark alive you have the capacity to quickly spit out Extra Deck monsters.
 
4-Axis builds were actually doing better in the OCG during this format than 3-Axis, but this may be in part due to the presence of Evilswarm, which 3-Axis can have problems against. Only time will tell which build proves more popular in the upcoming format, but I personally think that both will be solid contenders, and Wolfbark is vital to the 4-Axis build.
 
Traditional: 4/5
Advanced: 5/5
 
Art: 5/5 (I just think he’s really funny to look at; his expression is very coach-like)
