Closing the week is another Gagaga support card in
the Magic card Gagagaback. We have a Quickplay
Magic card that lets you Special Summon as many
Gagaga Monsters as possible that were destroyed by
Battle during the current turn, and sent to the
Graveyard. This may, at first glance, seem like a
good thing. However, if your opponent was able to
destroy all these Monsters, bringing them all back
isn't likely to do you much good. Furthermore, you
take 600 Damage for each card revived via this cards
effect. Sorry to be short, but this card isn't very
good folks...

One of the theme cards in the new Zexal tin is
Gagagaback. There are several cards in the tin to
support the Gagaga theme, but Gagagaback may be the
most interesting. The aspect that makes this card
playable is the fact that it is a quick play spell
card. This allows us to use it on our turn or our
opponent’s turn, making it more versatile as an
offensive or defensive card.
Currently we have 5 Gagaga monsters (Caesar, Clerk,
Gardna, Girl, and Magician), and 1 Gagaga monster
yet to come in Kid. That I know of anyways. The two
main Gagaga monsters that we want to summon are the
spellcasters; Girl and Magician. By getting them
both on the field, we can summon a Xyz monster from
rank 1 to 8. Gagagaback is one of many cards that
will help us accomplish that feet.
The best way to search for your magicians is to use
Mystic Tomato. By ramming your Tomato into your
opponent’s monster, you can search out all of your
Tomatoes then a Gagaga Magician. Once you have
rammed all of your monsters into your opponent’s
monster, you can activate Gagagback to summon all
four monsters back to the field and keep attacking
with the 3 Tomatoes to get 3 Gagaga Girls on the
field. On main phase 2, change Magician to the level
you want and make the Girls the same. What you will
end up with is two very powerful Xyz monsters. Yes
you will take a lot of damage, providing you did not
play One-Day-Of-Piece first, but your two little
cards will become two big and powerful cards and
your opponent’s special summoned monsters will be
left with 0 attack.
Gagagarevenge, Call of the Haunted and Monster
Reborn can all pretty much summon your monsters for
you as well as Gagagaback can, but Gagagaback is far
more versatile and can do so much more. Maybe one
day we will see someone pioneer Gagaga’s to the top
of a Regional or YCS. For now, they are regulated to
tier 2 or 3. I’m not sure throwing a multitude of
support cards at it will help it rise to the top,
but who knows what the Yu-Gi-Oh Gods will bring in
the future.

Welcome to our last day of this week! Thank goodness
it's Friday! Today we will be covering another Yuma
card. This card specifically supports what seems to
be his main deck type: Gagaga; or retrained Yugi
card.deck. So let's take a look at Gagagaback!
Gagagaback
Quick-play spell card
During the turn a "Gagaga" monster you control was
destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard:
Special Summon as many monsters from your Graveyard
as possible that were destroyed by battle this turn,
in face-up Defense Position, then take 600 damage
for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.
You can only activate 1 "Gagagaback" per turn.
Have you ever tried playing a Gagaga deck? My guess
is that it is a no, and I don't blame you. It must
be annoying to keep saying Gagaga over and over
during the match. However, I do suggest you look
into it as they have quite the means to summon just
about any xyz monster. Gagaga Magician can make
himself any level between 1 and 8, which Girl can
then match. You also have Kaiser to make all your
monsters the same level, and so much other fun
stuff!
However, one issue with the deck is retaining field
advantage. It's hard to xyz summon with only one
monster! We have Gagagarevenge to act as a monster
reborn, but we also have this card as
another interesting option.
So, if a bunch of monsters you control are destroyed
by battle, including one Gagaga, you can special
summon all your monsters destroyed by battle that
turn so far, but you take 600 a piece. Not only does
this allow you to bring back a Gagaga, but it allows
you to set-up the field for the next turn for some
xyz summoning. If that doesn't sound appealing, you
could also use this as a mini-wall. They kill two
monsters, you take 1200 and bring them right back to
protect you once again.
It's a very strong card to help gain field
advantage. The main issue that I have with it is if
you had 2+ monsters already summoned.... why haven't
you already xyz summoned already? Unless they
dropped Maxx "C" or Effect Veiler, you should
already have your field set-up with 2+ monsters, one
of which being a Gagaga.
There is definitely some use for this card, however
I wouldn't use more than a copy in a dedicated
Gagaga deck.
Advanced: 3.0
Plenty of revival in the deck already, but it does
provide a defense if needed. Plus, multiple monsters
never hurts!
Traditional: 1.5
Decent here, but why would you play a Gagaga deck in
traditional?
Art: 3.0
I really like the art style of Gagaga Magician;
mainly because he reminds me of the original
himself.

Alright today we have a card for the Gagaga
archetype. Gagaga decks haven’t had too much
popularity but all of these new cards for the deck
might actually make the deck pretty good. Let’s get
on to the review of this card.
Gagagaback
Quick-play Spell card
During the turn a "Gagaga" monster you control was
destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard:
Special Summon as many monsters from your Graveyard
as possible that were destroyed by battle this turn,
in face-up Defense Position, then take 600 damage
for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.
You can only activate 1 "Gagagaback" per turn.
Now at first glance this card may just seem okay.
It can bring back monsters that were destroyed by
battle the turn it is activated as long as a Gagaga
monster was destroyed by battle. This card seems
like a very defensive card but in reality it can
really make some very cool plays.
Now there are actually a few ways you could play
this card. You can use it for defensive purposes by
letting you monsters be destroyed by battle and
activating this in the end phase to special summon
them all back. You can also use it in a more
offensive way. By using Mystic Tomato with this
spell, you can keep slamming tomatoes into your
opponent’s monsters and then special summoning more
tomatoes and eventually a Gagaga monster letting it
also get destroyed. Then after all of that, you can
play this card to special summon back your Gagaga
monster and all of the Mystic Tomatoes again to use
for defense or Xyzing purposes.
The only problem with this card is that it causes
some burn damage to the user. That’s what makes this
spell more balanced. Without this burn damage and
its condition, this card would be too good in Gagaga
decks.
Advanced: 3.5/5
-In a Gagaga deck this card should probably be used.
It is a bit situational but it’s good. It is a good
card and may lead to some really cool plays as
Gagaga decks get more support.
Traditional: 1/5
-Gagaga decks are just too slow for this format. It
just wouldn’t be good here.
Art: 4/5
-The card looks kind of cool. It is pretty decent
art but not too impressive.

Gagagaback
Quick-Play Spell
During the turn a "Gagaga" monster you control was
destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard:
Special Summon as many monsters from your Graveyard
as possible that were destroyed by battle this turn,
in face-up Defense Position, then take 600 damage
for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.
You can only activate 1 "Gagagaback" per turn.
Wrapping up our 2013 Zexal Collection Tin week is
the quick play spell card Gagagaback, another card
for the growing Gagaga archetype of Yuma’s.
Gagagaback allows you to special summon all monsters
destroyed by battle this turn as long as 1 of them
was a Gagaga in DEF mode. However you lose 600 life
points for each monster special summoned by this
effect. This is a double edged sword, in order for
this card to really be worthwhile you would have to
summon more than just the 1 monster, but that will
also result in you losing a fair amount of life
points. Granted you can only activate 1 of these per
turn, but it is hard to see why you would activate
more than 1 in any given turn.
Overall the chance to special summon a lot of
monsters is good, but I don’t like damaging myself
in order to do it.
