Hello Pojo Fans,
Sinful Spoils of the White Forest or SSotWF is likely a primary Spell you’ll be searching with Elzette once she’s involved in a Synchro Summon.
A Quick-Play Spell that needs a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster monster on the field to be activated (easy) that gives you a few choices what you’d like to do. Special Summoning a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster from the hand is pretty good. This first effect easily drops either of the Diabell monsters that, while easily summoned in their own right, require a card and this card makes them able to leap out of your hand in the Battle Phase and get in for extra damage.
Fusion Summoning a Fusion Monster using monster on the field or in your hand can works the same way as the Special Summon effect: to get extra damage in during the Battle Phase. The added bonus that you aren’t held to Fusion Summoning a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster Fusion Monster is great if you wanted to summon something like Guardian Chimera. The Sinful Spoils Spell/Trap Cards (despite taking a ban list hit) are viable in several archetypes, giving them a searchable Quick-Play Fusion Spell.
If you were to send this card to the grave to activate a monster effect (Diabellstar), you are able to set it again, without the cost of losing it to the banished area after it leaves the field again, as it usually the clause in effects like that. Either of the younger versions of Diabellstar and Diabellze can trigger this effect, negating the cost you pay to activate their effects and you plus off of them as well. Good card economics.
There isn’t a real downside to playing Sinful Spoils of the White Forest. You get a Special Summon option of your choosing, whichever will benefit you in your current situation. This is the prime Fusion Spell for Azamina, is an extender for White Forest, is searchable, and, can retrieve itself whenever sent to the grave for a monster effect and won’t banish itself. The only downside is when it gets reset you cannot activate it that turn as it is a Quick-Play. Offers viable Fusion Summon options for decks that can run the Sinful Spoils package without bogging down the core strategy, but works best in White Forest/Azamina.

We’re maxing out on being searchable today with Sinful Spoils of the White Forest.
Sinful Spoils of the White Forest is a Quick-Play Spell where if you control a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster monster, you can either Special summon a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster directly from your hand or Fusion Summon any Fusion from your Extra Deck by using materials from your hand or field as material. The first effect could be nice if you need another body on the field but have no monsters that Special Summon themselves and you’ve used up your Normal Summon, while the second effect can be great to summon another Azamina Fusion or get to Guardian Chimera on the opponent’s turn. If this card is sent to the graveyard by a monster effect, you can also Set this card back to the field, which makes it more good fodder for White Forest effects. Being a Quick-Play Spell means you can’t instantly activate it, but it’s there for the opponent’s turn at least. HOPT on both effects. It’s a solid card for White Forest, being another good Spell to use as cost for the effects of your monsters, and activating it offers value for extending plays or making a big Fusion Summon. It’s heavily searchable because it’s both a Sinful Spoils and a White Forest card, plus Diabell can grab it back always, so while you don’t need many, it has a place in the Deck for sure.
Advanced Rating: 3.5/5
Art: 4.5/5 The White Forest isn’t as nice of a place as I’d expect.

It was inevitable that White Forest would get its own direct Sinful Spoils card, the very appropriately-named Quick-Play Spell, Sinful Spoils of the White Forest. Every Sinful Spoils and White Forest searcher can grab it, though in the combo line we’ll discuss, you’ll usually want to search it with Diabellstar the Black Witch rather than search it directly. Sinful Spoils of the White Forest can only be activated while you control a Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster monster (basically, every White Forest and Azamina monster, plus Diabellstar itself), with its first hard once per turn effect letting you choose 1 of 2 effects. You can either Special Summon any Fiend, Illusion, or Spellcaster monster from your hand, or Fusion Summon any Fusion monster using materials from your hand or field. The former effect is okay as an extender if needed, but the latter is the one we want to see; it’s the main way you’ll be able to summon everyone’s favorite Quick Fusion target, Guardian Chimera, during your opponent’s turn, getting free pops and draws at the same time! That’s why it’s preferable to search it with Diabellstar after using WANTED: Seeker of the Sinful Spoils over just directly searching it with Azamina Mu Rcielago, since Diabellstar will provide an extra body as Fusion fodder for Chimera. That brings us to Sinful Spoils of the White Forests’s other effect, triggering if it’s sent to the Graveyard to activate a monster effect, letting you Set it directly to your backrow. In true White Forest fashion, this pairs excellently with Astellar of the White Forest and Ezlette of the White Forest. Elzette is particularly helpful in these combo lines since its recycling effect will provide hand fodder for Chimera, so you’d only need 1 more fodder monster. I’ve never really found a use for the Special Summon effect, so just stick to using it as your Chimera button. Naturally, you’ll want to run 1 copy at most; you’ve got quite a few other options for Sinful Spoils cards anyway.
+Enables Guardian Chimera as a disruption
+Highly accessible as both a Sinful Spoils and White Forest card
-Special Summon effect competes with the Fusion effect and isn’t too useful
-Can only be activated with the appropriate monsters

Art: 3.75/5 Diabell up to no good again!
