Card of the Day - Cherry Inmato



Tuner / DARK / Plant-Type
Level 2 / 700 ATK / 400 DEF
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon up to 2 "Inmato" monsters from your deck.  They cannot be used as Synchro Material Monsters this turn.

I've ended with Crystal Beasts now.  Three decks really is enough and so I think it's time to talk more meta stuff now.  The Inmato archetype has a total of two cards in it, but even though it is that small, this card is one of my favorite cards out there.  It really is just so useful.

First, it's one of the best searchers out there.  It gets you 2 cards when this one is destroyed.  That can act as an awesome wall if you pick two more Cherry Inmatos for it's effect.  Then you can use their effects to get out some Inmatos.  It's a total of 6 attacks blocked, so there is almost no chance your opponent gets a direct attack in on you unless they have tons of double attackers.  Then since you can Special Summon in defense position that really just keeps your Life Points safe. That on it's on makes this card pretty good.

This is also a tuner monster.  Tuners are key to making a Synchro Summon which is what most of the meta is based on.  If your opponent only has one monster, and they destroy this with it you can Special Summon a Cherry Inmato and an Inmato and Synchro into a Hyper Librarian or Catastor or something.  If your opponent has two or more monsters it's best to go into two more Cherry Inmatos.  I just love the instant level 5.

Another thing this card can do that I just noticed is instant rank 3 or rank 2.  Ram your opponent with this on your own turn to Special Summon 2 level 3s or 2 level 2s.  That let's you get a lot of rank 3 or twos already.  Alternatively you pick one Inmato and one Cherry Inmato, ram the Cherry Inmato and get two more Inmatos to give you a rank 3 that requires three materials.  I don't know which ones you would really want, but I'm sure it could be useful.

Finally this card has a few uses after it gets sent to the Graveyard.  Since it is a level 2, it is a Junk Synchron target.  You can Special Summon it then Special Summon Doppelwarrior and Synch for Armory and also for Hyper Librarian.  It is also a target for Spore which Special Summons Spore as a level 3, something which the usual Plant engine cannot do.

Thanks for reading this and be sure to enter your E-Mail on the side for updates.  Bye for now!
