We opened with Spellcaster support this week, and we
close this week with Spellcaster support.
Mystical Fairy Elfuria, despite being a Spellcaster,
really has little to no room to work in a
Spellcaster Deck, of any build. Not because so
much of being a Wind Monster, but because of her
effect. As stated, we have a Wind attributed
Spellcaster, with 1500 attack and 900 defense.
1500 attack isn't bad for a Level 3, but her effect
can make her a gem, in a dedicated Wind Deck.
So you're immediately wondering if this Deck is even
possible to be done...
Certainly, perhaps a Harpie Deck, maybe in a hybrid
with Dark Simorgh, as a heavy hitter. Mystical
Fairy Elfuria, if able to be kept on the Field (so
maybe we're talking a strange Wind Stall/Burn hybrid
or something?) could be deadly. By revealing a
Wind Monster in your Hand to your opponent, neither
player is able to XYZ Summon a Monster with Monsters
different than the Level of the Monster you
revealed. I'd say a good trick would be to use
a high level Wind Monster, say something Level 5 or
higher, as higher Rank XYZ Monsters are more
difficult to Summon.
I wouldn't use anything Level 3 or 4, that's making
things way too easy for your opponent, likely that's
what they want. Or, in Traditional anyway,
reveal Yata and limit them to only use Level 1
Monsters. Even though revealing you're holding
Yata might not be the best strategy. This is
one of those cards that just gets KILLED by the Wind
attribute, and subsequently, its effect. I
really want to like this card, I'm just having a
hard time finding a competitive use for it...sighs
Ratings:
Traditional: 3.5/5 for reasons listed above
Advanced: 2.5/5 for no Yata

Welcome to Friday! Today we will be covering a
very interesting tcg exclusive wind monster that can
provide some interesting lock-downs against modern
decks. Let's take a look at Mystical Fairy Elfuria!
Mystical Fairy Elfuria
WIND/ Spellcaster/ Level 3
Once per turn: You can reveal 1 WIND monster in
your hand; until your opponent's next End Phase,
neither player can Xyz Summon using monsters with a
different Level from the revealed monster as Xyz
Materials.
1500/900
Why the random wind monster in a Fire set? Well
the next set is a wind-set with some new Wind
monsters!
What do all competitive decks do now-a-days?
Fire-Fists.... Mermail-Atlantean...Dino-Rabbit...Wind-Ups...
they all have one thing in common; which is they xyz
summon! With Elfuria, you can lock down an opponent
from summoning their powerful boss monsters.
The issue? You have to reveal a monster with a
unusual level to stop them. Level 3,4, and 5 will be
your typical level. Luckily, some of the best
wind-decks have some good levels! Gustos have some
level 1's and 2's, wihle harpies have access to Pet
Dragon which is level 7 (Mermails don't care about
this sadly).
However, synchro based decks can easily run this
over, and so can decks like Heroes. Elfuria can be a
great tech for some wind-decks, just be wary of what
you are playing against and if you can defend her.
Advanced: 3.0
It's pretty good for Harpies and Gustos to help
battle some of the top decks of today.
Traditional: 1.5
Not that great to be here honestly.

Very pleasing to look at. Gotta love that
exclusive art!

Mystical Fairy Elfuria
Wind/Spellcaster/Effect/Level3/1500/900
Once per turn: You can reveal 1 WIND monster in your
hand; until your opponent's next End Phase, neither
player can Xyz Summon using monsters with a
different Level from the revealed monster as Xyz
Materials.
To wrap up this weak we have Mystical Fairy Elfuria
which is a Spellcaster for some reason, well that’s
Konami for you, If it looks like a duck, sounds like
a duck and acts like a duck; it isn’t a duck. Anyway
Mystical Fairy Elfuria is mainly designed for WIND
decks, it’s effect is actually quite nasty, reveal a
WIND monster and neither player can Xyz Summon
unless the material are the same level as the
revealed monster. So if you reveal anything that
isn’t level 3 or 4, you have a good chance of
stopping your opponent from Xyz summoning.
Of course this effect has two drawbacks, first off
it affects you as well so if you want to Xyz summon
you either have to reveal a monster that you will be
Xyz summoning with or give the opponent a chance to
Xyz summon as well. Second it does require you to
have a fair bit of knowledge or guesswork of your
opponent extra deck, pick the wrong card and you
might actually give the opponent an advantage.
Overall a good effect and it can use both WIND and
Spellcaster support, just be very careful with it’s
effect.
