Card of the Day - Horn of the Phantom Beast


Normal Trap


Equip this card to a Beast-Type of Beast-Warrior-Type monster you control.  It gains 800 ATK.  When the equipped monster destroys an opponents monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, draw 1 card.

This card was released as support to the Phantom Beast archtype, a largely unused archtype because it is not very strong.  While it is support for them, it was actually main decked by Hansel Aguero who recently won WCQ North America, in a Tech Genus deck.  It was really this card that let him win.

It's better then a regular equip card because it can be set, then in the damage step you just flip this for a free draw and to kill your opponents monster.  That surprise is was sets this card above the rest.  A lot of the time this card can be forgotten by your opponent and so you just take advantage of that.  This cards draw effect adds consistency to any deck that can use it because the quicker you can get to the cards you need, the better.

The only real downside also comes from the fact that this is a trap.  It can be stopped by Seven Tools, which cannot negate traps, and can be killed by Mystical Space Typhoon and such not before you even get a chance to use it.  That being said this card is still not too slow for todays meta.

In short this card is amazing.  I hope you enjoyed this entry and be sure to enter you E-Mail on the side to get updates about any future posts.
