We might have already had a Link-1 in Trickstars, but what’s one more? So now we have Trickstar Colchica.
Colchica is a Link-1 LIGHT Fairy with 200 ATK and an arrow pointing down. Low ATK is traditional for a Link-1 that has easy summoning requirements, LIGHT Fairy are a perfect combination, and the arrow is good for your Link Summoing. The material is any non-Link Trickstar, making it the easier of the two Link-1s for the archetype to summon I believe, but Trickstar Festival should let you summon both with the 2 tokens. You can only Special Summon this once per turn, to prevent you from turning all your monsters into Colchicas in a single turn. When a monster is destroyed by battle involving your Trickstar monster while this is in your graveyard, you can banish it to target the destroyed monster and deal damage to the opponent equal to that monster’s ATK. Simple burn, much higher than the standard 200 you’ll see on most Trickstar cards, getting a bit more damage in. There are fairly big Trickstar monsters, so you can deal over 2000 damage without a problem if your opponent has a monster with that much ATK. HOPT on this effect. Colchica isn’t an overwhelmingly good card like some Link-1s, but it gets you a Trickstar Link onto your field quicker than needing to get a Link-2 or higher, and it should be in the graveyard since you’ll use it as Link Material to summon the bigger Links. It’s a staple in the Extra Deck, being a Link-1 you can also use 2 or 3 copies for later turns to get Links on the field and climb more.
Advanced Rating: 3.5/5
Art: 3.5/5 There’s some good Trickstar artworks, but most of them are just fine, to be honest.

Next up is Trickstar Colchica, a Link 1 LIGHT Fairy Link monster with a single down arrow. Unlike its Link 1 compatriot Trickstar Bloom, Colchica will take any non-Link Trickstar, so you can use yesterday’s Trickstar Aqua Angel for it (conveniently triggering its Link material effect) and any of the other level 3 or higher Trickstar monsters, because apparently using Trickstar Candina for Bloom would’ve been too broken. With 200 attack, Colchica’s stats aren’t worth noting either.
Well, incidentally, Colchica’s effects aren’t particularly noteworthy either. You’ll only be able to summon Colchica once per turn, which is a common restriction on Link 1 monsters to prevent abuse, though I can’t imagine how you’d abuse it anyway. Colchica has a single hard once per turn effect that can be triggered whenever a monster is destroyed during a battle involving one of your Trickstar monsters, as long as Colchica is in your Graveyard. You’ll be able to banish Colchica to target the monster that was destroyed and burn your opponent for its attack stat. The intent is to get in some cheap damage after using Colchica as Link fodder, potentially triggering their new boss monster in the process. It might help, but Trickstar’s burn gimmick has long since become outdated– and sticking it on a battle effect is not winning any awards either! No bones about it, this is a Link 1 target for your level 3 and up Trickstar monsters to climb into. Particularly Aqua Angel.
+Enables your level 3 and higher Trickstars to Link 1
+Burn effect can help break boards when combined with Trickstar Noble Angel
-Bizarre once per turn summon restriction
-No relevant effects other than helping with burn
Advanced: 3/5
Art: 3.75/5 Some of the Trickstars always looked a little creepy to me, but Colchica looks fine.
