Hello Pojo Fans,
Silent Swordsman getting a revamp helps the
archetype, considering LV monsters don't get much
support nowadays.
Tribute a Warrior to Special Summon from the hand
isn't a bad effect, though it would be better if you
could Normal Summon this Level 4 Warrior. ATK boost
during the Standby Phase is good if you can keep him
alive, and the once per turn negation of a Spell is
a neat addition to the Silent Swordsman lineup. LV3
and LV5 can't be affected or targeted by your
opponents spells, and LV7 negates all spells.
Finally, a search and Special Summon ignoring
summoning condition is very good. Doesn't matter the
destruction, as long as the card is in the owner's
possession. Silent Swordsman gets Solemn Warning'd,
you get your choice of a Silent Swordsman from the
deck. Skip to LV7 if you run him, or go for the
strong LV5. You'll be running a few copies of each
with the card, and run some Warrior-Type monsters to
help this card along. RoTA, Silent Sword Sword
Slash, and Photon Veil can search this card, but it
would be so much more useful if it could be Special
Summoned normally.

Silent Swordsman
Today we're taking a look at Silent Swordsman, a
level 4 light warrior with 1000 attack and defence.
Silent Swordsman is part of the Silent archetype
briefly used by Yugi.
Unlike the rest of the Silent Swordsman LV monsters,
this one cannot be normal summoned, only special
summoned by tributing any warrior monster you
control. And what do you get for that? Every standby
phase, Silent Swordsman gains 500 attack. This gain
remains as long as he's face-up on the field, so
you'll have to protect him for a few turns for him
to really be of any benefit.
Next, once per turn, he can negate the activation of
a spell card. Negation is always good, free negation
is even better. And lastly, if he's destroyed in
battle OR it's under its owners control and
destroyed by an opponents effect, you can special
summon any Silent Swordsman monster from your deck,
except itself. Which at this point would only be the
3 LV variants.
Silent Swordsman is good support for a very small
and lackluster archetype. Sadly, this is too little
too late. A few years ago when the game was slower
it would have been so much better. But as it stands
right now, when the game is looking at game-breaking
boards on the first turn, Silent Swordsman gives too
little over too long a time.
But he looks phenominal. He really captures the
style that this particular archetype should have put
forward.

We now take a look back at some of the cards from
Duelist Pack: Rivals of the Pharaoh. The first
monster is a retrain of the infamous Silent
Swordsman archetype, and his name is... well, Silent
Swordsman.
Silent Swordsman can only be summoned by tributing a
Warrior-Type monster. This is fairly easy to pull
off. He gains 500 ATK during each Standby Phase,
cause 1000 ATK is pretty bad. Once per turn, this
guy can negate a spell. Negating spells is always
good, which is why Imperial Order is a very powerful
card. If Silent Swordsman is destroyed by battle or
by an opponents' card effect under the owner's
control, you can summon a Silent Swordsman monster
from the deck except this guy ignoring the summoning
conditions. Now we finally have a better way to
summon Silent Swordsman LV7, and since he negates
all spells, he is really good, especially with 2800
ATK.
Good card for decks with Warriors. I mix this and
the new Silent Magician (reviewed tomorrow) with
Lightsworns, and it is really cool.
Advanced Rating: 3.5/5

Cloud looks awesome. Silent Swordsman is a Level
4 Light Warrior-type monster with 1000 Atk and 1000
Def. He can't be Normal Summoned, but his only
Special Summon option isn't too difficult. Just
tribute a Warrior and you get a once per turn free
Spell negater. Now, it doesn't destroy the Spell
Card, so Continuous Spells will gain their
continuous effects. Also, every Standby Phase,
Silent Swordsman gains 500 Atk, so if he survives
long enough, he could be good enough to just keep on
the field. If he is destroyed you can Special Summon
any Silent Swordsman from the deck except another
copy of Silent Swordsman. The obvious choice is to
go for Lvl 7 because Silent Swordsman's effect
ignores summoning conditions. Lvl 7 will auto
prevent your own Spells, but they can't all be
Horus.
Score: 4/5
Art: 4.5/5
