Thursday - Call of the
Haunted
I don't like this card.
It has too many restrictions to it.
1) It is a Trap card.
2) You can only choose
from your Graveyard.
3) You can only put your
choice in face-up attack position.
4) The Trap card has to
remain on the field, or the monster is destroyed (no
Giant Trunade combos here)
There is a particularly
nasty combo you can pull with Jinzo
that will let you return Call of the Haunted to your
hand with Giant Trunade for re-use, but it's just
not worth it. I say eat the 800 LP and use
Premature Burial instead, or just use the
ole standard Monster Reborn. Heck,
go with The Shallow Grave for super
fun time! ^_^;;;
Score: 2.8
(the revival aspect is important, but I don't think
all the restrictions on it are worth it. Don't get
me wrong, this is a powerful card, and it will be
restricted to 1, but it just doesn't appeal to me
for some reason.)

Call of the Haunted
Continuous Trap
Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special
Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card
is destroyed or removed from the field, the summoned
monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster is
destroyed, this card is also destroyed.
One of the new Monster Reborns! ^_^
It's a lot toned down than Monster Reborn since you
can only get back Monters from your own graveyard and
the fact that it's weak against Mystical Space Typhoon
and Heavy Storm. But it is still an amazing card,
especially if you play some really high level Monsters
like Blue Eyes White Dragon and Barrel Dragon. Just
ditch them via Magic Jammer or Tribute to the Doom or
Card Destruction and they are as good to go. It's
still good even if the highest level monster you have
is Summoned Skull.
Since it is a Trap though, you can activate it right
after your opponent uses Dark Hole or Raigeki. He'll
think twice before attacking... You also do not lose
800LP like Premature Burial however you don't get to
activate it the turn you set it.
Since it's gonna be restricted to one soon, it has too
be good right? Well, it is. Most decks would benefit
from it and yours would probably as well.
Rating: 4.3/5

Call of the Haunted --
Thursday
Introduction: Oh, I get to reborn my Jinzo!
Bwhahahahha!
Continuous Trap
Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special
Summon it in face-up Attack
Position. When this card is destroyed or removed from
the field, the
summoned monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster
is destroyed, this
card is also destroyed.
Why should you use it?
*Reborns monster
*Trap Card
Why shouldn't you use it?
*Your graveyard
*Trap Card
*Easily countered.
Reasons: Today we look at one of cards from the TV
show also, Call of the
Haunted. Basically this is a broken down Monster
Reborn turned into a Trap
Card. Like monster reborns, it reborns a monster from
the Graveyard, which
at most, isn't bad at all. This is a Trap Card, which
is good to try to
cause a Replay, like an Attack from a Dark Elf, Jira
Gumo, or something. A
best move is to bring out a bigger monster than your
opponent, so you can
attack next turn for an easy kill. Well like Premature
Burial, your only
limited to your Graveyard, which isn't so good. Most
of the time, you would
probably want stuff from your opponent's Graveyard,
instead of your own.
Being a Trap Card also has it's disadvantages. This
means, that you cannot
play this card until it has been set for 1 turn. This
means that you have to
wait 1 turn before bringing out your beast. That 1
turn, a lot can happen.
It can be a difference between a win, and a loss. Also
with it's ease to
counter, Heavy Storm and/or Cyclone, you can just hurt
somone with it.
Rating: A good card, likely to see in monst decks.
This gets a 3.8 in my
book. I see it is a good card, but I doubt to see that
this card will be
used to his fullest. With lots of Magic and Traps
spells out there, this
card won't be that great.
Conclusion: Call to see if this is the right deck for
you.

Thursday - Call of the
Haunted
Today we look at Call of the haunted, which is a trap
card that lets you revive a monster.
While this card will certainly be broken, I think
premature burial is better. Contrary to what I said
before, you cannot use giant trunade with call of the
haunted like you can with premature burial. But that
minor setback doesn't really take anything away from
this card. It is still one of the best cards in the
pharoah's servant set. In addition, it doesn't have a
cost, like premature burial does. Just want to clear
one thing up though. If the opponent attacks you and
then you activate this trap to bring back a monster, a
replay occurs and the opponent is allowed to choose
whether or not he wants to attack.
I give this card a
4.1/5. It's about even with premature burial, but I'd
still go with the burial.

Call
of the Haunted - Ultra Rare
Well.. this is a nasty card for Jinzo. From what I
have heard he will still be revived even if this is a
trap card. Go figure. Anyway this card is very nasty
for Jinzo like i said. Suppose you're attacking with
all of your mons and your opponent pulls mirror force.
Do call of the haunted to bring back jinzo and mirror
force gets negated. Isn't that just evil? Well i think
it is. Anyway this card does wonders with Jinzo
mostly. Anything else it isn't that good. Its a basic
monster reborn that can be activated during an attack,
magic, and trap card. It can help you in a tight spot.
It will be restricted to 1 per deck but i don't think
its that good to call it a staple but it is just evil
when you combo it with Jinzo.
Rating 4.0

Call of the Haunted
Continuous Trap
Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special
Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card
is destroyed or removed from the field, the summoned
monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster is
destroyed, this card is also destroyed.
Today we are looking at an extraordinary Trap card
from Pharaoh's Servant. This continuous trap card can
be compared to Monster Reborn. This card is basically
monster reborn. The effect gives you the same result,
but at the disadvantage of being a continuous trap,
meaning if the trap is destroyed your monster will go
with it.
Mystical Space Typhoon, Heavy Storm, and even Giant
Trunade will have a field day with this. Being a trap
however also will put your opponent in a tough spot.
When you have no monsters on the field, flip the Call
of the Haunted, get a tough guy and then your opponent
resigns and has to come up with a new plan. Not bad.
Overall Rating: I give it a 4.5. Why? Because
Monster Reborn is limited to 1 per deck and this card
gives you a similar effect. It isn't a solid 5
because of it's vulnerability to disruption cards like
Mystical Space Typhoon and Heavy Storm, but will give
you a solid advantage. |

Thursday -
Call of the Haunted
Continuous Trap
Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special
Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card
is destroyed or removed from the field, the summoned
monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster is
destroyed, this card is also destroyed.
Here we have the 3rd
Monster Reborn variant. Soon to be on the
restriction list along with Premature Burial.
Though it isn't as good as Monster Reborn
iteself, it's still a very good card worth playing in
many deck-types.
What makes Call of the
Haunted unique is the fact that it's a Trap Card. This
enables you to do a few tricks to your opponent.
Rating:
4.5/5
Monster advantage is
almost always a good thing. |
