This week, we are looking at "red gain" advantage cards. When I use the term "red gain," I mean cards that give you red furyoku. Today we have "Feral Instinct." The spirit featured in the image is one of Mikihisa's spirits, Yoh's father. Mikihisa has 2 two spirits that he uses during battle, such as Silva has 5 spirits. This spirit might have a name, I don't know it. It's not really important.

"Feral Instinct" doesn't have any trait limitations, so he (assuming that the dog/fox is male) can be placed in any deck. Next his card cost is right down the line. One green, yellow and red furyoku. The cost doesn't leave alot of room for overpaying if you are lacking in any color of furyoku. Easy to pick up with your hand, but very costly to play.

The effect of this card is more furyoku conversion than red gain. Anyways the card states: "Immediate: Add two red furyoku. You do not charge from playing Feral Instinct." The idea of gaining red furyoku sounds great, but you must remember the card cost. You get back one of your red furyoku, and your green and yellow furyoku convert to a red furyoku. This basically leaves your field exactly the same as when you started. It's better to have extra red than a yellow and a green, but overall doesn't get you anywhere. On top of not going anywhere with the first part of the effect, you don't get to charge. It's always better to have more red furyoku, but you don't want to overpay to get it.

This card is completely playable in Casual, Tournament, and Sealed. Got more use in Casual and Tournaments, since you will be using more red costs than in Sealed. I wouldn't run more than 2 of these in a deck. Converts a yellow and green into one red, which could be useful for a few decks.

Casual: 3.5/5
Tournament: 3.5/5
Sealed: 3/5
