Today we look at Golden Ladybug,
a counterpart to Skull Marked Ladybug.
Skull
Marked Ladybug increases your Lifepoints by 1000
when sent to the Graveyard.This card, however, increases your Lifepoints
by 500 if you show it to your opponent.
On the plus side, you can use
this effect, once a turn, as long as it remains in
your Hand.It then stays revealed in your Hand, however,
after you show it to your opponent until the End of
your turn.
Honestly, the effect isn't
terrible.I have always thought that Lifepoint gain is
an underrated tactic in Yugioh, but I don't think a
mere 500 points is enough to warrant playing this
card.
However, it sure has a place in your Fire Princess
burn/stall Deck.

1/5 both formats

Well, Insects just got even more support that they
didn't need. During the standby phase you can reveal
our little bug for a lifepoint gain of 500. It's
stats are equally as unimpressive, with an ATK and
DEF of 0, it is not likely that this little guy will
be winning any battles anytime soon. It is also a
LIGHT Insect, which it only shares with Magical
Merchant.
All in all, lifegain is one of the weakest mechanics
in the game, with only Nimble Momonga being played
in recent times and he got you field presence as
well. Our Ladybug isn't even a good set, with most
every card in the game beating it in battle except
for things like Yubel and Tousand Eyes Idol.
In short, this is just another junk rare that has
almost no use.

This is a really iffy card. It's a free 500, and
each turn, that can really add up in the long run
and help you win games, and especially in time
situations, you're going to have that extra 1000.
But other than that, it's not the greatest card. 0/0
Insect, doesn't really do much if you really look at
it. Other than drawing it, or getting it in your
hand with Sangan, there's no really good way of
getting this guy into your hand to put him to good
use. It would be nice in a deck that discards a bit,
with Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, Snipe Hunter or
something. Regardless, it's not going to be worth
that one spot (hopefully you don't want to use more
than one of these as a splashy/techy card) when
there are so many other options out there that can
easily be used for a better card. Yeah, I should be
the one to talk when i put Gate Guardian in my side
deck at Shonen Jump Champsionship San Jose, but it
was all in the fun of the game that I did that, not
like I sided it in, but you can at least put this
card into some use, a free 500 and a pretty much
automatically killed wall. Or you can be nice and
give it your opponent through creature swap and let
them feel the pain of this card twice, you gain and
they lose. You can combo around it like that, but
other than that, it's only 500 lifepoints, i just
don't see it being worth it overall.
Traditional: 1.5, It gets an extra .5 because it's a
Light monster.
Advanced: 1/5, Just not worth it overall, i'll pick
D.D. Crow over this anyday, and at least D.D. Crow
can end games faster than Golden Ladybug and it has
100 ATK

Well well, this card is certainly interesting.
Normally I'd view a monster with 0/0 stats and no
effect that alters that to be junk. Most people just
aren't interested in something that has no field
presence. However, the point of this card is to not
be on the field. Ever.
Basically what this means is that this card is only
going to be really effective in a stall based deck.
Otherwise you have a basically dead card in hand and
I assure you - your opponant can do a lot more than
500 damage in a turn.
So if you're running a stall burn and you're afraid
your opponant's going to eventually slip by,
consider this just because. Or if you run multiple
copies of Autonomous Action Unit/My Body as a
Shield.
Traditional: 1.5/5 Yea, it may be a light, but it's
going to get trashed.
Advanced: 2/5 Like I said, stall burn with some LP
gain thrown in.

The card up for review today is Golden Ladybug.
As the week progresses, the cards get better, so
thatʼs a plus lol. But now onto the card. Its stats
are pretty bad, as well as the type. Once again,
sorry for the small review, but the only way I see
this being used, is if u side it in while in time
and win that way.

500 point life gain is decent and the card remains in your hand.Fire Princess Burn gets a slight boost from
this card, but when was the last time you saw that
decktype.Again, not much good to say about this card.

Honestly, in my opinion, this
card fails miserably on so many levels.
Playability; I
see no reason to include this in any deck. Even in a
fun lifegain deck, there are much better
options. Likewise, even in an insect variant, there
is no real reason to use this card. It's searchable
- and that's the only point I can really give this
card.
Score - 1/10
Plus; This card
will not net you any advantage. This card will
actually cost you in the long run because not only
would it be a dead card in hand, your opponent will
know that you have a dead card in
hand and will therefore be able to act accordingly.
Seriously, how much good is 500LP going to do you if
your opponent will feel safe over-committing to the
field because they know that at least one card in
your hand isn't an answer.
Score - 0/20
Power; Not only
is the 500LP that this card grants you negligable,
the card won't even be able to kill a treeborn frog.
What's worse, it's not able to be discarded for any
of the major draw cards, it can't be tributed for
crush, and gives your opponent information. Unless I
am completely oblivious to some random combo that
makes this thing broken, I really don't understand
why this card was even made.
Score - 2/20
Overall - Advanced;
.3/5... Sorry... 1/5

Ooooo.... kaaay..... I swear. There are better cards
later in the week....

Oh yeah, I have to do this, don't I?
Let's look at the upsides, shall we? You can remove
from game him to special summon doom dozer.... if
you drew 3 of him it's a lot harder to OTK you since
you'll gain 1500 a turn... erm.... uhm....
Downsides - He's a 100/100 bug. He only gains you
500 a turn. He opens you up to mind crush. Good
opponents will follow him in your hand and discard
other cards with their spirit reaper. He does almost
nothing at all....
I heard his big brother, 4 star lady bug of Doom,
picks on him....
Advanced - 1.1/5 (Simply because it can be better
than some of the other cards)
Traditonal - 1.5/5 - hey, it's a light!

Golden ladybug is splashable. That surprises me.
It's a HUGE boon to fire princess and mars decks as
it gains life continually without taking up a slot
for spells and such.
