Hello Pojo Fans,
Fabled Lurrie is the Throwback Thursday choice this week and the one Fabled that made it into the Fiendsmith archetype and has been a cog in it since day one.
There was talk of putting Lurrie on the ban list to slow down the Fiendsmith archetype in the early days of it in the game, however that never materialized. Lurrie has a simple effect: Special Summon itself off a discard to the grave. It is great in any archetype that discards cards like Fiendsmith and Fabled, and while not a Tuner, it can be that extra body on-board that you need for a higher Synchro Summon or jumping into the Fiendsmith side of the archetype. When players packed the toolbox into their archetypes Lurrie would often some with, even after Lacrima was added to Fiendsmith.
In Fabled, Lurrie is added discard fodder for any effect that needs something discarded like Fabled Realm’s Revival. Fabled Valkyrus needs something to discard for you to draw a card, Nozoochee needs a discard for it to Special Summon from the hand, Chawa the same thing, and Behilmoth would need something other than itself and Lurrie for a Fabled Synchro Summon off the discard, but that’s okay, because the more Fabled discards the merrier.
Probably too much text to say that Lurrie was a great mainstay in the Fabled archetype since its first release. It remains important to the Fiendsmith toolbox and with Fabled getting more support it will renew its importance in that archetype. Gotta play at least one.
Advanced- 3.5/5 Art- 3.5/5

Throwback Thursday brings us a card many have likely seen a ton of since the release of the Fiendsmith archetype: Fabled Lurrie.
Lurrie is a Level 1 LIGHT Fiend with 200 ATK and 400 DEF. Paltry Level 1 stats as always, but LIGHT Fiend is of course important with Fiendsmith. All this does is if discarded to the graveyard, you Special Summon it. Sounds simple enough, discard fodder in Fabled to get a body on the field to make a Synchro, though a Level 1 non-Tuner doesn’t give a lot of room. The main thing is that with all the Fableds that Special Summon themselves when discarded, this is the only LIGHT Fiend to do so, meaning Fiendsmith’s Tract can search for and discard this so it comes out and you can summon your Fiendsmith’s Requiem to do full Fiendsmith combo to end on D/D/D Wave High King Caesar or Fiendsmith’s Desirae with some Links equipped to it. Fabled Krus is the only other good LIGHT Fiend with a discard effect, but it revives other Fableds instead of itself, otherwise I assume it would have been the Tract target. As it is, Fabled Lurrie is a staple in Fiendsmith Fabled, as well as anything using Fiendsmith and relying on Tract to start the engine. You hope not to draw it for sure, though it probably isn’t as bad in Fabled as it is in other Fiendsmith Decks.
Advanced Rating: 3/5
Art: 3.5/5 for the original and 3.75/5 for the alternate art, I get why this was the choice for an alt art, but I do wish it was a different Fabled that’s stronger for the actual Fabled strategy.

You know him, you love him (or love to hate him), Throwback Thursday brings us quite possibly the most famous Fabled card alongside The Fabled Unicore, Fabled Lurrie. Lurrie is a level 1 LIGHT Fiend; while Fabled Grimmro and Fabled Gammajin will access it just fine, you already know Lurrie is the most common target for Fiendsmith’s Tract (aside from Fiendsmith Engraver itself, at any rate). Naturally, Lurrie packs a pathetically low stat spread of 200 attack and 400 defense, which is expected for a level 1 monster.
Lurrie comes with a single, non-once per turn effect, simply letting you Special Summon Lurrie if it’s discarded to the Graveyard. That’s it! Gotta love pre-2016 card design. Though it’s not once per turn, that’s not a huge deal in practice because you’d need a non-once per turn discard enabler to actually loop it somehow, and no, you will not be playing Snipe Hunter. It’s not too hard to see Lurrie’s purpose in Fabled; like The Fabled Cerburrel, it’s a free body after getting discarded, though it’s more useful for Link plays than anything since most of your Synchro Summons will involve even numbers. Lurrie’s true purpose, however, is to go into Fiendsmith’s Requiem and kickstart your Fiendsmith plays– both in Fabled and beyond. We briefly covered Requiem in our 2024 countdown, but to elaborate, as long as you can field Lurrie (which Tract will conveniently be able to summon immediately) you can summon Requiem. From there, the Fiendsmith engine is now live, letting you access either a multi-negate through Fiendsmith’s Desirae, a flexible summon negate (and Nibiru insurance) through D/D/D Wave High King Genghis, or simply a high-stat Towers beater through Fiendsmith’s Rextremendae. While not strictly necessary, Lurrie is the most optimal Tract target by far (in fact, it’s the only practical Fabled monster for the job, as the others rely too much on other cards or are Beasts, not Fiends). Lurrie is also basically free Link material that you can recycle with the Fiendsmith engine to boot! People have speculated Lurrie to be on the chopping block as yet another “bad deck’s good card becomes a scapegoat for a broken engine” but with Requiem getting a reprint on the horizon, I’m not sure if Engraver’s second partner in crime is going away any time soon. If you’re just running Fiendsmith as an engine, you should stick to 1 copy. In Fabled proper, Synchro-focused builds probably don’t want to run too many copies because being level 1 is awkward, but in the Link builds? Go nuts!
+Simple but powerful effect that has perfect synergy with the Fiendsmith engine
+Non-once per turn enables potential Link combos and loops in combo-focused builds
-Level 1 is awkward for Synchro-focused Fabled builds
-Has to be specifically discarded
Advanced: 4/5
Art: 3/5 (Original) I don’t think they knew this little bugger would be the bane of so many people.
3.75/5 (Alternate) This is definitely how Lurrie would’ve looked if he was designed today! Maybe with a hard once per turn though.
