The final Link Monster we look at until Code of the
Duelist releases is Link Spider, a card that makes
Gofu a 1-card Link-3 already.
Link Spider is a Link-1, requiring only 1 Normal
Monster. Tokens are Normal Monsters, and currently
this is the only Link Monster you can use Tokens
for. This is why Gofu is broken, because Link Spider
is an Effect Monster, you can use the Tokens Gofu
gives you to summon two Link Spiders (since they
have the Bottom Link Marker you can summon the
second one to the Main Monster Zone) and use Gofu
and the Two Link Spiders to go into Decode Talker to
unlock the Extra Deck for your Main Monster Zones.
Gofu will get limited or banned, but lets get into
the effect of Link Spider. Link Spider allows you to
summon a Normal Monster from your hand to a zone
this card points to. This is a nice little handy
effect to get another monster for Link Material
whether you have to use the Normal Monster to Link
Summon or not.
This is a nice little card, not amazing though.
Great in World Chalice and mostly used right now
because Gofu and maybe other future Token Generators
exist.

Today we're taking a look at Link Spider, a Link
1 Light Cyberse monster with 1000 attack and a down
arrow.
Link Spider's summoning material is 1 normal
monster. And for that, once per turn you can special
summon a level 4 or lower normal monster from your
hand that he's pointing to. That's all, he's
somewhat disappointing for what he does and doesn't
really have much use outside of a few specialised
decks, but then, Link Spider is nothing more than a
stepping stone at this point.
Link Spider's real use comes in conjunction with
Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow. Most players
already know the combo play that comes with Gofu,
but for those that don't. When Gofu is summoned
through its effect, it creates two tokens, which are
normal monsters. Both tokens are used to make a pair
of Link Spiders, which along with Gofu itself, are
used to Link into Decode Talker.
For the moment, that is essentially all Link Spider
is, just a piece of a small puzzle to make Decode
Talker easier to summon. Link Spider may have uses
in World Chalice, Metalfoes and a few other niche
decks, but for the moment, he is limited by what's
actually playable.
Artwise, I think Link Spider actually looks the best
out of the initial 3 Link monsters that've been
released. Looking like a more streamlined Tachikoma
from the Ghost in the Shell franchise.

Link Spider is named very simply. It is an Earth
Cyberse-type 1 Arrow Link Monster with 1000 Atk.
1000 Atk isn't a lot, but the effect to bring a
Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your hand to
Link Spider's pointed zone. The more monster's on
the field, the better most of the time. Blue-Eyes
players have enjoyed being able to just use their
Vanilla Beater to attack and then tag out to this.
Link Spider is also an effect monster to be used to
climb the link ladder to Decode Talker or Honey Bot
from yesterday. Certainly an excellent start for a
new feature.
Score: 4/5
Art: 4/5 Spider's are cool, but the name could have
been better.
