Cosmic Regalia, CEO Yggdrasil – #V-BT12/011EN

[CONT](VC/RC):All of your rear-guards with a divine gauge get “Boost”. Then, if this unit is on (VC), and it is your opponent’s turn, those rear-guards cannot be affected by anything of your opponent’s cards. [ACT](VC/RC)1/Turn:COST [Counter Blast (1)], search your deck for up to one “Regalia of Fate, Norn”, call it to (RC), shuffle your deck, choose up to two of your rear-guards, and put up to one card each from your soul face down as a divine gauge for each of those units.

So, this card’s use is intrinsically tied to that of Norn, which this card searches, so I guess I’ll review the pair together. CEO here protects those that have equip gauge from eneny card effects. Not especially interesting against anything that doesn’t retire that much, but the options is there. No, the main draw comes from being able to call Norn behind it, gaining equip gauge, and since Norn specifies ‘unit’ and not ‘rear-guard’, you can then stand Yggdrasil to give it another attack, minus a drive.

And yet. And yet this card is usually better off relegated as a backup to an existing boss like Fenrir, because the Divine Equip Gauge mechanic is currently restricted to just Artemis, and they’re only interested in gaining Gauge for themselves – Norn has to pay the cost of her OWN equip gauge to re-stand CEO. Granted, Norn can refuel herself with her first skill, but it’s preposterous to try and run CEO as her own deck. There just isn’t enough support.

As long as she gains power and Critical with Norn, CEO Yggdrasil won’t be entirely helpless, but just hope the next wave of Regalia support is kind to her.

2.75/5
