Aluber The Jester of Despia - GFP2-EN097 - Ultra Rare - 1st Edition

Product Information

If sent to the GY or banished by a card effect, it searches a Despia monster. You can banish this card from the GY to set a Branded spell or trap from the GY. Now, I have to say that there are many, many routes that allow you to go into crazy endboards with multiple Masquerade and a Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, but please take with a critical eye how likely one is to pull them off. Q: I activate the effect of Ad Libitum of Despia by targeting a Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon in my GY. If my opponent resolves D.D. Crow's effect in response, banishing that same Mirrorjade, what happens? A: Yes. Even though Number 81: Super Dora will be unaffected by Aluber's effect when it resolves, you can still activate Aluber's effect by targeting it. When it resolves, Aluber itself will be Special Summoned, but Number 81: Super Dora's effects will not be negated. Money shot card. Very expensive, but one of the cards that makes the entire circus run like it should. Arguebly one of the most versatile cards to be printed in the last years. (It will get a reprint in Ghost from the Past 2!)

Q: I control Predaplant Dragostapelia, and my opponent controls a Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon with a Predator Counter. If my opponent activates Mirrorjade's effect, and then activates Book of Moon in response, flipping Mirrorjade face-down, what happens?Q: My opponent only controls a Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora, which is unaffected by other cards' effects due to its own effect. If it destroys my Masquerade the Blazing Dragon by battle, can I then activate the effect of an Aluber the Jester of Despia in my GY?

Q: Using the effect of Fallen of Albaz, can I use my opponent's Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora as Fusion Material, even though it is unaffected by other cards' effects? Q: I activate Lubellion the Searing Dragon's effect by discarding Despian Tragedy. Can I then activate its effect that adds a "Despia" monster to my hand? Q: My Masquerade the Blazing Dragon battles my opponent's Masquerade the Blazing Dragon, and both monsters are destroyed by the battle. If my opponent controls no other monsters, can I still activate the effect of an Aluber the Jester of Despia in my GY?

Ghosts From The Past: The 2nd Haunting 1st Edition Singles

Q: It is my opponent's turn, and I have Albion the Branded Dragon in my GY, which was sent there this turn. If I let my opponent move to the End Phase, can I use Albion's effect before my opponent can use D.D. Crow? Q: I activate Fallen of Albaz' effect. In response, Book of Moon resolves, changing it to face-down Defense Position. What happens? Plenty of cards to choose from to search with Aluber, 10 in total, eight spell, two trap. The traps need setup in place to be effective, and of the spells you can search, Despia, Theater of the Branded does give you a Fusion Summon once per turn as a Field Spell. Branded Bond, Branded Opening, Branded in Red, and Branded in White also give you immediate offensive power and access to your Fusion Monsters, but Despia Theater can be multiple turns in a row. Paradise Branded is good protection for your Fusion Monsters but again, isn’t very useful if you don’t already have a Fusion Monster on the field. Q: If I activate the effect of a Branded Retribution in my GY, that adds a "Branded" Spell/Trap to my hand, can my opponent activate the effect of Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion in response? A: You can activate Mind Control. If you still control a face-up Mirrorjade when Mind Control resolves, you take control of your opponent's Mirrorjade, and it is then immediately destroyed.
