A Wild Monster Appears!

Fun decks will like this as it will make a number of Nomi monsters easier to summon.  Competitively speaking, I wouldn't bet on this card.  It's a -1 since it summons from the hand.  And there's so many caveats that prevent this card from being broken, that it dampens any true accomplishment it would have.

2/5

A Wild Monster Appears!  This is a very interesting little Magic card, one, in theory, you'd want to base a Deck around.  I'm finding a hard time finding any real practical use for this card.  But let us discuss.  If your opponent controls a Monster, and you control none, you get to Special Summon a Level 10 or lower Monster from your Hand you normally couldn't Normal Summon, ignoring its Summoning conditions.  It's oblivious to your other card effects, save its own and the effects of this card.  You shuffle it back into your Deck during your opponent's next End Phase, so it doesn't stay on the Field long.  You aren't allowed to Normal or Special Summon after, and your opponent takes no Damage this turn.  This card really should have been a Quickplay or a Trap.  Anyway, you won't always be able to use it since you won't often have a Monster fitting the criteria in your Hand.  Said Monster should also be immune to Battle and/or all effects of your opponent's cards, so you can at least guarantee to clear their Field since they take no Damage.  Fun card, just not very practical, as said.

Hello Pojo Fans,
 
There are countless monsters that “cannot be Normal Summoned/Set” in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh. Sometimes they can be summoned easily, while other times it just is an annoyance to use them, A Wild Monster Appears! changes that.
 
A free summon of a monster that “cannot be Normal Summoned/Set” is something that hasn't been seen yet in the game, and is very useful. Now, a card that may have been useless at the time becomes useful. This cards restrictions balance out the awesome power it gives its user. Monsters like DAD, BLS, and JD that can be easily Special Summoned have another option given to them. Elemental Lords, Infernoids, and Levels get a boost in playability with this card as well. Even though the monster will be shuffled back into the deck at your opponents next End Phase baring some type of shenanigans (G.B. Hunter), one turn can be devastating in combination with this card if used correctly. DAD and Sky Scourge Norleras can wipe the field clean, Dogma will halve your opponents LP.
 
So many neglected or rarely-used decktypes gain a boost from this card. The monster may be spun back to the deck after your opponents next End Phase, but if played correctly, that won't be a problem. This card is a first of its kind: loopholing the summoning restrictions of a monster in your hand for a turn. Its a free Special Summon for a monster that may have been taking up hand space. While likely no Tier 1 decks will need it, several different decks will be using at least one.

First off, this card has one of the best names in all of Yu-Gi-Oh!, just getting that out this way.  Anyway, this is a unique card with potential for use in some future deck, though A Wild Monster Appears! (man, that is a fun name) is unfortunately lacking in any real use right now because there isn't a deck for it. You COULD use it in Assault Mode decks, you COULD use it in Chaos Dragons, you COULD use it in Malefics or Trains or any number of decks, but why would you bother?

Really, I do like this card, though it probably sounds like I don't. This game has a ridiculously large number of playable cards, so there's every chance that someone will find something that makes this card much better than it initially appears. Even if they don't, there's every chance that something will make this playable one day, even if it isn't worth using now. That said, I really have to ask myself "Do I see this being a good, playable, competitive card?" The answer being 'no'. The only other deck I could see this used in combination with is the Sky Scourge Norleras deck, but that's been uncompetitive and unpopular for so long – it's not going to see much play even in that.

Advanced 1.75/5.00

Note: One cool thing about A Wild Monster Appears is that if you use it with an Elemental Lord (which is clearly indicated with the artwork) you don't have to deal with the skipped battle phase. It's quite nice when things match like that.
