Hello Pojo Fans,
Fabled Levilazebul ends our week of looking at Fabled monsters, and is one of the newest Synchro Monsters and for sure a better high-level Synchro choice in-archetype than they’ve had before.
Generic materials for its Synchro Summon, Levilazebul needs Fabled monsters to tribute rather than discard for its effect. Despite that difference in strategy, this Quick Effect steals opponent’s monsters permanently, though their effects are negated. Being restricted to the Main Phase for this isn’t much of an issue either, as you can tribute any Fabled monsters in danger via effects and attempt to steal the opponent’s monsters. Negating their effects is a balance for this card as on your turn stealing the opponent’s monsters and then using their effects would be pretty broken. It gives you ammo for Extra Deck summons or just plain attacking the opponent’s LP.
Popping itself back to the Extra Deck means you only need to run one copy of this, which is incredibly useful when Extra Deck space can be at a premium for any archetype. In exchange, you also get to pop a Fabled back to the hand. Now, you could target a Fabled Synchro and cycle both back to the Extra Deck, or you could funnel back Grimro to the hand to use for a second or third time that turn (not once per turn, love it), or use a Behilmoth for an in-hand discard to make a Synchro Summon. Levilazbul can pay you back for all the discarding this archetype does while recycling itself for future use.
Make no mistake, the stealing the opponent’s monsters is likely the best effect this monster has. Discarding would be far-more applicable to the archetype to trigger more effects and gain even more advantage, so I guess tributing Fabled monsters is a balance. Stealing the opponent’s monsters permanently is game-changing. You can stop combo pieces from being used, steal a resource-generating card, or, leave them without a leg to stand on (steal the Nibiru token you left them with the turn earlier). A great new Synchro with a big Level and big ATK to be the boss monster this archetype needed.

We end the week off with a brand new Level 10 Fabled Synchro to make up for Leviathan only adding Fableds back to hand on destruction: Fabled Levilazebul.
Levilazebul is a Level 10 LIGHT Fiend Synchro with 3050 ATK and 1950 DEF. Evilswarm school of odd stats, but a LIGHT Fiend is again great. Materials are any Tuner and non-Tuner(s), making it generic to make. First effect is a soft once per turn and a Quick Effect in the Main Phase to tribute any number of Fabled monsters you control to take control of an equal number of face-up monsters the opponent controls with their effects negated. Finally another Fabled Synchro to do something on the opponent’s turn, and unlike Unicore this doesn’t need you to match hand size with the opponent. At worst, you can tribute this to take an opponent’s monster to slow their plays down, and potentially find a way to revive this so you can do it again since it isn’t a HOPT. If this is in your graveyard, you can target another Fabled in your graveyard to return this to the Extra Deck and add the target back to your hand, giving you a little bit extra recovery in Fabled. The second effect is a HOPT, of course. Levilazebul is pretty good for a generic Level 10 Synchro in a world where we can’t play Baronne de Fleur, letting you tribute itself to take an opponent’s monster and potentially negate an on summon or trigger effect they might activate, and you don’t have to give it back. The extra recovery if you run Fabled is also nice to ensure you only need 1 in Fabled. With generic Level 10 Synchros now, it’s Chengying or this, so having 2 options now is much better than 1, but of course you run it in Fabled to maximize value.
Advanced Rating: 4/5

Fabled Leviathan gets a much-needed upgrade as the new boss of the Fabled archetype, Fabled Levilazebul, a level 10 LIGHT Fiend Synchro monster. Curiously, this time around Levilazebul is generic, only needing a Tuner and any number of non-Tuners unlike Leviathan, though in practice you’ll rarely want to summon this outside of Fabled. As a nod to Evilswarm, Levilazebul has slightly tweaked stats from Leviathan, losing 50 defense in exchange for gaining 50 attack– a grand total of 3050 attack and 1950 defense. Weird, but I can’t complain about having more than 3000 attack! Even if it’s just 50.
Rather than an outdated recycling effect, Levilazebul has a much more useful pair of effects. The first is a soft once per turn Quick Effect (in case you somehow managed to summon 2 Levilazebuls) that can only be used during the Main Phase, letting you Tribute any number Fabled monsters, then target and take control of that many face-up monsters your opponent controls, though their effects will be negated. It’s basic disruption, but still solid, and it works well when paired with Fiendsmith’s Desirae for insurance against Spells and Traps. In a best-case scenario, you’ll use Fabled Gammajin and Fables Soulkius to make Levilazebul, and hopefully have a Fiend fodder to go into your Fiendsmith plays and hopefully have some fodder left over to fuel Levilazebul. Even if you’re stuck with just Levilazebul, it’s not the end of the world, because that brings us to Levilazebul’s other effect, a hard once per turn effect that can be used in the Graveyard. It’ll let Levilazebul return itself to the Extra Deck to add another Fabled card in your Graveyard back to your hand. Obviously this is pretty helpful for follow-up if you recycle The Fabled Behilmoth, though it can also enable a (kinda, sorta) mini-loop with Fabled Treason; just use Treason to revive Gammajin, then summon Soulkius from the Graveyard and you’ll be able to summon Levilazebul again (ignore that Soulkius’s 2 discards can be rather hefty, even in Fabled). Levilazebul finally gives Fabled a solid boss monster without strictly relying on Fiendsmith (though it certainly helps a lot), so the deck is at least passable now. Unfortunately, it’ll still need a lot more help, and by then we can’t be too sure Fiendsmith will still be around to carry it.
+Stealing is great disruption that provides Link bodies or beaters
+Recycles itself and kind of lets you loop Fabled Treason
-Lacks protection without Fabled Gammajin
-Requires other Fabled monsters on the field to avoid Tributing itself
