Card of the Day - Airorca

Sea Serpent / Level 3 / Wind
ATK 1400 / DEF 300
Once per turn, you can banish 1 Fish-Type, Sea Serpent-Type or Aqua-Type monster from your hand to select 1 face-up card your opponent controls. Destroy that card, then banish this card until your next Standby Phase.


Ok so going back to yesterday and how I talked about Banished Fish, I decided that I should talk about Airorca, one of that decks key cards.  The first thing to say is that this is a level 3 monster.  That gives this card so much potential.  It gains synergy with the rest of the Banished Fish because they are all level 3 and so you can easily exceed into a rank 3 monsters.  Then it can be searched out by Deepsea Diva for either an instant level 5 synchro, or you could attempt to abuse this cards powerful effect.


This cards effect is great.  First, it dumps cards to your Banished zone.  That is great because you need 3 banished cards for Fish and Kicks so quickly filling that zone is essential.  After that you can destroy any face-up card your opponent controls.  Seriously? Do I need to say anymore? Destruction is always good.  And even if they have Stardust, this card fills the Banished Zone to get ready for a Fish and Kicks to remove their Stardust.  Finally this card removes itself from play.  That fuel Fish and Kicks and Oh F!sh as well as setting off Fish Rain and Wing Tortoise.   It also keeps itself safe for your next turn.


Altogether this card really is fantastic in Banished Fish, but I really do see this being teched in any other deck.  Thanks for reading this and be sure to subscribe by entering your E-Mail on the side bar.
