Charge of the Light Brigade! I think it should be an
unspoken rule that anyone whoever plays this card
should have to say it as dramatically and loudly as
possible. Maybe that's just me. Anyway...
You send the top three cards of your Deck to the
Graveyard, and add 1 Level 4 or lower Lightsworn
monster from your Deck to your Hand. Part of me
wonders why this is a Secret Rare, but it must be
for combo potential.
On it's own, this card may not be the best thing in
the world, but depending on what you mill from your
Deck, or what you choose to add to your Hand from
your Deck, This could definitely be the start of
some advantage for you. I'd play one or even two,
but three might be overkill.

This is one of the best cards printed, EVER. I mean
that too. The only other card that allows you to
thin your deck by 4 cards is Solar Recharge, and
that requires a Lightsworn monster in hand in order
to be activated. This card brings back memories of
Painful Choice, where you can thin your deck as well
as search fro what you need in order to bring
destruction upon your opponents.
Of course, the major use for this card is in a
dedicated Lightsworn deck, where you can find the
perfect monster for every situation while thinning
your deck and loading your graveyard for a Judgment
Dragon win condition. It is the ideal first move,
making it that much easier to get off a Lumina/Garoth
opening in which you thin your deck by ANOTHER 5
cards and possibly adding 2 more to your hand.
The other deck that this card shines in is a Zombie
deck. They will be using Solar Recharge for
Draw power as well as Lyla for S/T destruction
and Lumina for Special Summons. You load your
graveyard with Plaguespreader Zombie, Zombie Master,
Mezuki and Goblin Zombie, all while losing no card
advantage and being able to search for the right
Lightsworn to mill or Special Summon or whatever.
In short, this card deserves it's Secret Rare status
as well as it's 60 dollar price tag. This is one of
the few cards where I feel this way, so that is
something Special.

Todayʼs card up for review is Charge Of The
Light Brigade. You would think Judgment Dragon going
to 2 per deck would kill the deck eh? Wrongo! Charge
Of The Light Brigade makes the deck sooo much
better. Speed and mill is crucial for the deck to
win, and this card of course speeds up both parts.
Milling stuff like Wulf/Necro Gardna/Lumina/#of
different Lightsworns never hurts, and grabbing a
Lightsworn of your choice pretty much is a huge
boost. You can get 2-3 Lumina out with ease now. I
see no downside whatsoever to this card!

Lightsworns finally got another good spell card to
make the deck even faster. Send the top 3 cards
makes it easy to send a Wulf to the graveyard for
the +1 or possibly more. Even if it doesn't send any
Wulfs to the grave, it can send other Lightsworn
monsters to help special summon Judgment Dragon in
future turns. It thins down the deck helping to draw
a card faster. Anything Lightsworn level four or
under sent to the grave can be special summoned with
Lumina's effect.
There are many targets for Charge of the Light
Brigade to search for. Its the Lightsworns
"Reinforcement of the Army" and it helps do so many
other things. If a Garoth was sent to the graveyard,
search a Lumina and use her effect on Garoth to draw
more cards and possibly send Wulfs in the process.
Jain for 2000 DEF monsters, Ryko for stall of
Gladiator Beasts, Ehren for any defense monster or
Lyla for destroying spells or traps. This is a
perfect card to make the deck faster and to get
Wulfs or a quicker Judgment Dragon, A must play for
every Lightsworn Deck.

I'm really sorry I
haven't been reviewing; I was sick. And the worst
part of it was I got mostly better by school time.
TT. Ah well.
Charge of the light brigade is...ok I guess. With
all the deck-out effects, it would be risky to run
3, but it also gets you game breakers back...Let's
just call it a 3/5.
