Tytannial, Princess of Camellias, aside from having
one of the oddest names in Yugioh history, is one
hell of a Plant monster. Tytannial is a Level 8
monster, requiring two tributes, but definitely
worthwhile if you can get her on the Field.
Tytannial also has 2800 attack, meaning she can
contend with most of the powerhouses of the Format,
as well as an equally solid and impressive 2600
defense, and is obviously a Plant of the Wind
attribute.
When a Magic, Trap, or Effect monster's effect is
activated that targets a card or cards on the Field,
by tributing one face-up Plant-type monster you
control to negate the activation and effect of said
card, and destroy it.
This is the heavy hitter and protection that Plants
needed, to actually become a viable Decktype. Are
they going to be yet? Sadly, I don't believe so, as
they just aren't quick enough despite their plethora
of new support. However, if you're playing Plants,
you play this.

Todayʼs card up for review is Tytannical,
Princess of Camellias. I am in love with this card.
Plant decks got a huge boost from the latest set.
This card is brutal. Plants can summon stuff from
the deck now, so why not grab this guy. If people
are using stuff like Thought Ruler Archfiend, why
not use this in Plants?

Alright, it's good to be here, I have to be honest.
So, my very first card is: Tytannial, Princess of
Camellias! I actually like this card. It's got a
decent ATK and DEF for an 8-star monster, and its
effect is simply amazing, in my opinion. For the
price of only one tributed Plant-type monster, you
can negate a spell, trap or effect monster that
targets a card on the field and you can destroy it.
Her effect is absolutely devastating in a Plant
deck, and with all the Plant support that's coming
out she'll definitely be a great addition. Mind you,
she's 8 stars, so it can be difficult to get her
onto the field; once she hits play, however, she's
going to be a great card to have in just about any
situation.
No matter what your opponent throws at you, you'll
be able to negate it, and with some of the new
support for Plants that's out, replenishing monsters
shouldn't be a big deal. You need to use her effect
in moderation, however; even with that new support,
monsters are there just for tribute fodder. You need
to be able to balance her effect with any other
monsters that you have on the field. Obviously,
she's pointless outside of a Plant deck, and is
completely unsplashable in any deck but Plant, but
rest assured that she'll give your Plant deck a huge
boost.
In Traditional, Plants won't make a huge splash
simply because of the mass amounts of...well, for
lack of a better term, "better cards" in their card
pool.

Tytannial is the big monster for plant users. It has
2800 ATK which is the normal attack for the main
monster of the deck and the defense is also good,
but chances are you won't be defensing with a
monster that is so easy to summon. Lonefire Blossom
can just bring this out to the field in a flash and
it doesn't have one of those "can only be special
summoned by" conditions. Plants also have their own
Call of the Haunted, so you can bring this back for
another attack.
The effect is also awesome as well. Another your
opponent is targeting on your side of the field,
tribute a plant to negate and destroy it. Its like a
Prime Material Dragon for plants, but better because
its anything being targeted, instead of having
effects that destroy monsters on the field. Plants
got a huge boost with the new set and I believe that
there will be some at the top tables and this card
could possibly be in those decks.

Ah, we come to a real example of how the game
changed during my hibernation.
Stats:Tytannial, Princess of
Camellias is a Level 8 Wind/Plant. As a
Level 8 Monster it can be used with Trade-In.
It will take some effort to get into play, but
Plants actually have support now.
Wait, there’s a card called Lonefire Blossom
and it can do what?
So, umm… yeah, Lonefire Blossom lets you
Special Summon it from your deck. That combined
with all the token generating cards Plants now
have means this should be easy enough to get
into play. Oh well, at least being Wind doesn’t
help it much. Except a lack of progress is a
bad thing, even if it keeps making me right.
Tytannial, Princess of Camellias has a
wonderful 2800 ATK and 2600 DEF. Few Monsters
will match either stat and those that do either
have a significant cost (like Injection Fairy
Lily) or are just as hard or probably harder
to get into play.
Effect(s): Now, surely “she” won’t have a
good effect… gah, she can negate targeted
effects, even if they target multiple cards! It
costs a tribute of a face-up Plant Type Monster,
but as we’ve found out, that isn’t hard anymore
to do!
Okay, so it isn’t “perfect”: non-targeting
effects are plentiful, and can still hit it (or
anything near it). Still, it is pretty amazing
considering there are plenty of cards that do
target.
Uses and
Combinations: An enormous field presence
for plant decks, Tytannial should be able
to bludgeon opposing Monsters while protecting
your own cards with your plentiful Plant fodder.
Ratings
Traditional: 2/5 – I am told that Plants
have a OTK strategy, via Gigaplant. I
know the basics of it, but not the finer
points. Also, I can see how her negation
effects could come in handy, so yeah, this card
actually scores a point!
Advanced: 4/5 – She isn’t some
unstoppable behemoth, but she’ll certainly be a
fine addition to Plant decks.
Art: 4/5 – Very nice. It isn’t the best
looking card, but the whole “woman from a plant”
motif works quite well in this instance, even
seems regal as it was meant to.
Summary
If you are running a Plant deck, I strongly
recommend you include this unless your only goal
is a OTK via
Gigaplant. This way if the OTK falls
through, you have a real deck ready to go with
both a strong attacker and the ability to
control the opponent’s actions with the threat
of negation.
