Holy Road Angel – #V-SS09/002 (RRR)

[AUTO](VC/RC):When placed, look at seven cards from the top of your deck, reveal up to one card with “Malkuth-melekh” in its card name from among them and put it into your hand, shuffle your deck, reveal up to one normal unit from your hand, and put it on the top of your deck. This ability may only be used by a card with the same card name once a turn.

Top 7 cards and 8 maximum targets? That’s…okay, that’s like Dragonic Overlord the Destiny level odds, but I’ve been burned by whiffing the scry before. It’s still going to happen a decent number of times though, assuming you shuffled properly, so it should be okay. So if you do nothing else it’s a +1, but you can then stack…NOT a trigger, it seems that they don’t want to turn the deck into OTT, but the new Malkuth so that you can score it as a damage check via your skills. Is that actually worth the play? Eh, maybe, if you don’t want to wait until Turn 4 to make your own rear-guards immune to retirement (but not binding, #NarukamiMasterClan).

Adds SOME consistency to the Malkuth deck and will probably be a mainstay until the new Format when none of it matters anymore, but still not quite there as a meta deck.

2.75/5
