Triple Star Trion makes me wish I wasn't so hard on Kuriphoton...Level 1, Light, Warrior, the latter two are at least good things. 100 attack and defense, and he can Special Summon himself from the Graveyard...IF you tributed for him...IF it was for a Tribute Summon. How often is that likely to happen, and even if you're playing something or lots of somethings that require Tributes, you're most likely never ever going to need this card.

Triple Star Trion ends the week. Trion has kind of a Treeborn Frog thing going, as everytime it is sent to the graveyard for a tribute summon, you can special summon it during the end phase. I like this card mainly because I like One for One a lot, and Trion can be used in that fashion to get out a 1 tribute monster, like a Monarch, and get your tribute back at your end phase. Even if you use monsters that require 2 tributes, you get those two back. Lather, rinse, repeat....sort of.  Trion's stats aren't the best at only 100/100 for ATK and DEF, so they are easily dealt with. But LIGHT/Warrior are supported like crazy, even Double Summon is useful. If you like using decks with a few tribute monsters, such as Monarchs, Yubel or even the Egyptian Gods, this is a sure fire pick.

“During the End Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there this turn as a Tribute for a successful Tribute Summon: You can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.”

On one hand I could see this guy going the way of the “D-Boyz”, on the other hand this could lead to some hilarious Frog Monarch plays. I think everyone should take note of the frog deck that topped the last YCS. More and more budget friendly strategies are starting to get traction in the Meta (Until Win-Books get their new card) and this card could very well end up as an interesting tech choice somewhere down the road. Or it could get well acquainted with shoeboxes everywhere waiting for its day. I will be keeping him in mind for some of the stranger builds I work on.

Wrapping up this week is Triple Star Trion; the last couple of level 1 monsters were rubbish and this…. is no different. Why? Along time ago Konami released a card call Samsara Kaiser which allowed you to return it to your hand if you used it for a tribute summon, this is similar to Samsara Kaiser but it has a special summon effect instead. The problem? Well you never got to use Samsara Kaiser’s effect because it died all too easily before you got a chance to use it. This suffers the same problem, special summon effect or not.

Overall just play Treeborn Frog
