Coming to mid-week, I wonder if
the theme this week is "Crappy Holo Week..." but
maybe that's just me.Kinka-Byo is a Spirit monster who is Dark and
a Beast that is Level 1 with 400 attack and 200 def.
Ignoring the normal Spirit text
on all Spirit cards, we will move on.
When this card is Normal Summoned
or flipped face up, you can Special Summon one Level
1 monster from your Graveyard.When this card is removed from play, remove
the chosen monster also.
There are actually monsters, even
useful ones, to use with the effect here, but it
sucks that the monster can only be Level 1 and has
to come from the Graveyard.Again, as I have done twice all ready, I ask,
why is this a Super Rare?

This little kitty is awesome. Oh wait, Disc
Commander is banned. That hurt this card to the
point that it is a junk card. You can get some of
the tuners with it, but Quillbolt Hedgehog and Junk
Synchron are far better for getting quick Synchros
to the field.
His stats don't do much either, at least Otohime did
something when she came to the field. If it brought
back any level 3 or lower, this card would be
golden. As it is, I wouldn't even play it in a
Spirit deck, due to it's low stats and rather
lackluster effect.

Todayʼs card up for review is Kina-Byo. This is
what I like to see: support for lost deck types. Now
this guy had huge potential/combos before the recent
banlist came out. That being you can use itʼs effect
to bring your Disk Commander out and draw some fuel.
Since that happened, I am not really seeing much use
for this at the moment. Possibly a sign of cards to
come in the next few releases?

If we still had D-Hero Disk Commander, this card
would be a beast. Unfortunately we dont, so Kinka
Byo may never gets its shot at fame. It works
somewhat well with cyber valley, but cyber valley
isnt a card that often ends up in the graveyard. It
would also work with Sinister sprocket to set up a
synchro summon, but it wouldnt be very easy
considering that the combined level of Sinister
Sprocket and Kinka Byo is only 2, therfore requiring
at least a level 3 monster to be on the field to get
the lowest level of Synchro. If disk commander comes
back, this card will definitely be worth taking a
look at. Until then, its just not the best option.

Another new Spirit. Cool effect if you can find
a good target for it. Had it been released before
the newest banned and Restricted list, it would have
been combo'd with Destiny Hero - Disc Commander.
Unfortunately, I don't see any realistic use for it
now since there aren't many targets for it. From
what I can see, it can be used with Sinister
Sprocket for Synchro tricks but consistency seems
near impossible. I can actually see this impacting
Traditional somewhat because of Destiny Hero - Disc
Commander and combos for DDT variants but have yet
to test it.

Kinka-Byo is another way to get back Destiny Hero -
Disk Commander, but thankfully he is banned. This
card isn't bad at all. As long as you have some kind
of level 1 monster in the graveyard, you should be
fine. The way I would use this card is to set it
face down and flip it next turn to bring something
back and then tribute both of them for a big
monster. Whenever this leaves the field, the card
you brought back by this effect is removed from
play.
You wouldn't have to worry about
removing the monster you brought back if you have
cards like Enemy Controller or anything that
requires a tribute. Kinka-Byo is a dark monster that
is below 1000 ATK and can be used for CCV. Also your
opponent could chain D.D. Crow to remove something
you're trying to get back. It could bring back an
Arcana Force 0 The Fool, Cyber Valley, or
Relinquished (Summoned Properly first). It isn't a
bad card, but it needs to find a good combo with it
or something that makes a deck better.
