Hello Pojo Fans,
Here we go again with the Sinful Spoils storyline. Lets start things off with a hyped card upon release: Elzette, Azamina of the White Forest.
Illusion monster but not a Tuner at Level 2, Elzette is an extender for White Forest or Azamina, able to Special Summon one of those monsters as long as you reveal Elzette in your hand. Unconventional as revealing Elzette would usually result in her Special Summon. Good starter and contingency plan if you happen to not have a Sinful Spoils Spell/Trap to send to the grave for your White Forest Tuner monsters.
Once on the field Elzette is a Fusion Spell in the form of a monster, able to facilitate a Azamina Fusion Summon while not needing to be included in the summon, however, she does fit the bill for most of the Azamina Fusion Summons being a LIGHT monster and an Illusion-Type. Queen Azamina may be stuck in your hand and this would be an easy way to perform a Fusion Summon and get her into the Graveyard through Normal Summoning Elzette.
RoTA for Sinful Spoils cards when used as a material for a Synchro Summon aligns with the White Forest Synchro Summon theme, but had it also included Fusion Summons because of Azamina that would’ve made her even better. As is, you can reveal her to Special Summon any White Forest and then Normal Summon her to put a total of four for Levels on the field (Astellar or Elzette (the first version of her)). After that, you can Special Summon a White Forest from your hand or potentially from your Deck using Astellar or Elzette (first version of her) that you summoned through this version of Elzette. You will either end on a Synchro 6 or Synchro 8 that will involve this version of Elzette and get your search.
The Azamina side is a little tougher to get that search though. Queen Azamina is a Level 8 and the Level 6 Fusions aren’t Tuners so if you are trying to Synchro Summons through Azamina it likely isn’t happening without using one of your White Forest Tuners that you could summon through Elzette, but they are Level 4 and with Elzette being Level 2 and Queen being Level 8 you’d have to settle for a White Forest Synchro Summon and then Azamina stuff off the search you get with Elzette.
TLDR: Elzette is a great extender for both archetypes. The White Forest side loves that she grants them a search after being included in their archetype strategy of synchro climbing, while Azamina have a Fusion Spell within a monster as well as another way to get Queen Azamind to the field, and the Sinful Spoils cards work for them as well.

We’re approaching the end of the Diabellstar lore, so we’ll spend the next two weeks checking on how White Forest, Snake-Eyes, Goblin Bikers, and more are doing by starting the week with Elzette, Azamina of the White Forest.
Elzette, Azamina is a Level 2 LIGHT Illusion with 0 ATK and DEF. Low stats, but a LIGHT monster is typically good, and Illusion is pretty well established at this stage. You can reveal this card to Special Summon a White Forest or Azamina monster directly from your hand, which could summon itself since she qualifies for both archetypes. Otherwise, you can get a monster you would normally use your Normal Summon on like Astellar or Silvy, or get one of the few Azamina monsters in the Main Deck out of your hand. During your Main Phase, you can Fusion Summon an Azamina Fusion from your Extra Deck by using monsters from your hand or field as material, so finally a decent way to properly Fusion Summon the Azamina monsters if you need to, since most of the White Forest Deck should have the materials for Azamina Fusions ran in there, including this covering your Illusion requirement. If this is sent to the graveyard as Synchro Material, however, you can add any Sinful Spoils card from your Deck to your hand, which is a nice search to get your Sinful Spoils cards for their effects or as fuel for your White Forest effects. HOPT on every effect, as we would expect. New Elzette is pretty good, offering as an extender for White Forest, being able to Fusion Summon the Azamina monsters if you can’t get to the Main Deck Azamina engine, and it’s a search when used as Synchro material. I surely recommend running this in White Forest, highly searchable and it can be recoverable as well.
Advanced Rating: 4/5

The penultimate chapter of the Diabellstar saga begins in Supreme Darkness, and what better card to start with than the bombshell White Forest card, Elzette, Azamina of the White Forest. Mirroring the original Elzette, this one is a level 2 LIGHT Illusion monster. White Forest’s search power has gone up exponentially since we last covered it, so there are plenty of ways to access Azamina Elzette; your bread and butter combo lines will try to search it with Tales of the White Forest through Silvy of the White Forest, but there are still plenty of 2-card combo lines to get to it, especially considering that it’s an Azamina name as well. Being a level 2 non-Tuner will also make summoning the level 6 White Forest Synchro monsters easier than ever. Unsurprisingly, it also shares the original Elzette’s 0 attack and defense, which means this monster isn’t made for the Battle Phase. But hey, if you’re crazy enough at least it’s a Piri Reis Map target!
In true Diabellstar lore fashion, Azamina Elzette has 3 hard once per turn effects (where was this for our Speedroid cards?), the first letting you reveal it in your hand to then Special Summon any White Forest or Azamina monster from your hand. You can obviously use this to summon Azamina Elzette for free, but in a pinch it’s also a great effect for fixing combos if keystone cards get zinged– maybe if you’re stopped from summoning that lousy Tuner you need but you happen to have one in your hand. The most important part of this is White Forest finally having a level 2 non-Tuner that doesn’t rely on external cards to be summoned, so like I said, this makes fielding the level 6 Synchros a cinch. Azamina Elzette gives us Azamina’s first way to manually Fusion Summon, with its second effect letting you Fusion Summon an Azamina monster using monsters from your hand or field as material. As Azamina Elzette is conveniently the Illusion monster that White Forest needs to seamlessly bridge into Azamina combos, you can easily field either Azamina Mu Rcielago for longer and stronger combos, or Azamina Ilia Silvia for early advantage and Hand Trap insulation (don’t tell Josh and MBT!). Azamina Elzette’s final effect triggers if it’s sent to the Graveyard as Synchro material (again, level 2 non-Tuner with the White Forest level 4 Tuners, coincidence? I think not), letting you search any Sinful Spoils card. When Alliance Insight arrives, there’ll be a potentially strong target, but until then, you’ll usually search Deception of the Sinful Spoils to get to The Hallowed Azamine, or WANTED: Seeker of the Sinful Spoils to access Diabellstar the Black Witch and search tomorrow’s card, Sinful Spoils of the White Forest, which sounds redundant, but we’ll go more in-depth with that tomorrow. Much like Snake-Eyes Poplar before it, Azamina Elzette does a lot, but ironically, being a 1-card combo starter is not among them, which is basically its only real weakness. I’ve seen a lot of debate on 1 or 2 copies, with the general rule being that Toy and Fiendsmith hybrids only need 1 to save on deck space, but it’s such a good card it’s hard to go wrong as long as you run at least 1.
+Comes with 3 extremely valuable and versatile effects for combo purposes
+Easily bridges White Forest and Azamina combo lines
-Not a true 1 card combo starter
-Needs to be revived later in a combo to make full use of all effects
Advanced: 4.25/5
Art: 4.5/5 The seeds for Diabellze have sprouted! Well, vines in this case, I guess.
