Moisture Creature
Effect: If you Tribute Summon this monster by
offering 3 monsters on the field as a Tribute, destroy
all Magic and Trap Cards on your opponent's side of
the field.
The Feather Duster effect of this monster is nice, but
it will be almost impossible for you to get 3 monsters
to summon this in that fashion. It's already hard
enough getting 2 monsters on the field for more than a
turn. Plus, m/t removal in the metagame right now is
already very high. This effect isn't really necessary.
So basically all you have is a 2 tribute monster with
a high attack.
I'd give this 2/5. Even if you can get 3 monsters to
use the effect, is it really worth sacrificing 3
monsters to destroy their m/t zone? I'd rather just
stick with regular m/t removal. |

Moisture Creature....I know! He reminds me of Gilfors,
one of my favorite monsters. If you tribute 3 monsters
for it, you can get a built in Harpies Feather Duster.
Last I heard, you can also normally tribute for it,
but that was in Japannnn..
Its stats 2800/2900, which is standard for a two
tribute monster. Now, the hard part would probably be
getting three monsters to tribute. In the beatdown
environment, it can be hard to even get two. That is
what really makes this card unreliable, the tributes.
Sadly, his special effect only works when he has been
tributed for. No loopholes.
The best part about getting him on the field is that
all Magic and Traps are destroyed, and his high attack
power can get rid of soooo many things.. I still like
Gilford better (psst..he Has Raigeki built in!)

Friday - Moisture Creature/Moisture Alien:
PGD-013-Rare
Light/Fairy/9/2800/2900
Effect: Effect: If you Tribute Summon this monster by
offering 3 monsters on the field as a Tribute, destroy
all Magic and Trap Cards on your opponent's side of
the field.
This is a pretty strong monster, with a pretty descent
built in HFD effect, but having to wait till you have
3 monsters out to tribute may take some time,
especially if you pull this card on first draw.
Obviously Change Of Heart can help speed it up, as
well as Cyber Jar and Ultimate Offering, but even if
you discard then Special Summon Moisture Creature from
the Graveyard or whatnot, you won't get its effect,
but a 2800 ATK monster is still nice to have on the
field.
A couple things that can help AGAINST Moisture
Creature would be Mask Of Restrict, Solemn Judgment,
Horn Of Heaven, ScapeGoat (just to stall), and
Offering To The Doomed. I'm not too sure if Trap Hole
and Torrential Tribute would be able to resolve and
destroy Moisture Creature before his/its effect
resolves to destroy the Trap Hole/TT, but I can see
why and why not it would work, so I'll have to wait
till someone else figures it out.
The opponent can't use Magic Jammer or anything to
stop the effect of destroying their M/T except they
can use Fake Trap to save any other Traps they may
have down, but if the opponent chains Horn Of Heaven
or Solemn Judgment to the actual summon, Moisture
Creature won't get its effect since the summon itself
was negated. The opponent can also chain with Gust or
Driving Snow to take out one of your M/Ts but nobody
really uses those cards. Not to mention they can
activate cards like Waboku to stop their monster and
LP from being destroyed for the turn or if they had
Statue Of The Wicked set, it will help take the attack
instead of taking it directly to their LP. I'm not
actually sure yet, but I would think you can use Curse
of Royal to negate and destroy Moisture Creature, I'll
have to wait on rulings for that one.
A small combo I thought up (not like I would ever try
it) is to successfully tribute summon Moisture
Creature thus destroying the opponents M/T zone, then
play Metamorphosis to bring out Black Skull Dragon or
any other level 9 fusion monsters that may come out.
It's only a 400 ATK difference, but then you can play
Monster Reborn, CotH, or Premature Burial to bring
back Moisture Creature to do up to 6000 depending on
if the opponent has any monsters out or any Kuribohs
in their hand.
Personally I probably will never use this card, it
requires 3 tributes and if it gets destroyed it would
have been a waste of 4 monsters altogether. I've also
grown attached to using Mask Of Restrict so Moisture
Creature wouldn't work well in my current deck.
Ratings:
Casual: 2.5
Tourney: 3.0
ArtWork: 1.0 - I really don't understand the picture
on this card, it looks like an umbrella, some type of
virus injection gun/ray, and an almost translucent
creature hovering with glowing eyes. I also think
Alien sounded better than Creature, but they always
change the good Japanese names on us. |

Moisture Creature, 8/29/03:
This is a nice monster. Built-in HFD, but you have to
tribute an extra monster to do it. Its summon still
counts as a normal summon, so Scapegoat won't work.
Getting three tributes out will be incredibly
difficult, making this card hard to use until more
tribute-acquiring cards are released in English (Kaizer
Seahorse, Devil's Sanctuary, trap monsters). The
Nimble Momongas I normally use to summon two-tributes
doesn't work, since this card is THREE tributes.
So basically, you'll never EVER get a chance to use
this card's effect in a competitive deck. Casual decks
might have some fun with this as an unrestricted HFD...
if you build an entire deck around getting enough
tributes to summon this card... kind of a waste,
though.
This card's statistics are quite high, but the offset
to that is that you can't search for this card with
Witch or Sangan, and it's easier to use HFD anyway. Or
Heavy Storm, for that matter.
By the way, slight clarification on its effect: you
can summon it normally (2 tributes), but it won't get
its effect.
And some trivia: It's the only monster in English that
can be Normal Summoned that has a level higher than 8.
(The only other one in Jap is Demon of Questionable
Loyalty: level 10)
One edge this card has over HFD, though, is that it's
not a magic card, so you can use it to destroy
Imperial Order! But you can use Breaker to do that
once MFC (almost-confirmed abbreviation for Magician's
Force) is released.

field.
Card Number PGD-013
Card ID No. 75285069

What do ya know…I finally made it to Friday’s. Anyway
as a 2 sac monster this card is a little lac luster.
2800 isn’t all that good when we have Blue Eyes,
Tyrant Dragon, even Cosmo Queen. But now for a special
limited time offer for not 1, not 2, but 3 sacrifices
and your moisture creatures comes fully equipped with
a harpie’s feather duster! Of course keeping 3
monsters on the field, and managing to summon
successfully, is nearly impossible. Now if Konami of
Japan and UpperDeck ever get there acts together and
release the Kaiba Structure Deck and with that Kaiser
Seahorse, we’d be set. Kaiser Seahorse counts as two
sacs if used for a light monster.
Until Kaiser Seahorse…
