Performapal Monkeyboard is
another of the new wave of Pendulum support that
performs (heheh) simple tasks very well. It is a
Level 6 Earth Beast-type Pendulum monster with 1000
Atk and 2400 Def and Scales of 1. Performapal has
tons of inherent support, so the name is good and
funny. Level 6 could have been 5 to be slightly
better, especially with such low Atk. Its Def is a
good block if necessary. Beast works with Diamond
Dire Wolf since if Monkeyboard ever hits the field
it is pretty much useless. Earth monsters are Earth
monsters. I'm glad to see the lowest possible Scale,
but there is a negative effect that can make it the
worst possible Scale.
The first part of Performapal
Monkeyboard's Pendulum effect is that without a
Performapal in the other Pendulum Zone the Scales
become 4. That shouldn't be too large of a problem,
but it is still annoying. However, if you activate
Monkeyboard, you can search any Level 4 or lower
Performapal from your Deck to your hand. So if you
then activate that Performapal to the other Pendulum
Zone you should be good to go with a Pendulum
Summon. The monster effect is too situational and
costly to ever be useful. The cost is to discard
itself, so it is going to the Graveyard instead of
the Extra Deck. For your trouble, you can reveal a
Performapal or Odd-Eyes monster in hand and make it
one level lower for the rest of the turn. That might
make something easier to Pendulum Summon, or turn
something requiring tributes to be Normal Summoned
without, but still not worth it. There is one good
effect here, and ROTA effects are good, but I am
sure that this monkey will be playing a sad tune for
its dentist in the future.
Score: 3/5
Art: 4/5 An old joke that is
well drawn.
