Hello Pojo Fans,
Foolish Burial Goods is a great Throwback Thursday choice within the White Forest archetype as many of their cards have grave effects.
Simple Normal Spell to use, but very powerful: Send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY. Any deck that needs a key Spell/Trap in their Graveyard can play this card and we’ve seen this appear in Tier 1 strategies throughout the years since its release. In Horus variants and Crystal Beasts, it can send Rainbow Bridge of Destruction to the grave to banish to hunt down a Field Spell and Rainbow Dragon, Tearlament use it send Sulliek and Scream to the grave to immediately get their secondary effect, and Purrely used it to put a Quick-Play Spell into the grave to attach to any Xyz Monster they control.
Its power to gain advantage for its user makes it staple-level despite needing at least a few cards to make it worthwhile. The Black Goat Laughs is a tech choice that benefits from Foolish Burial Goods, Brilliant Fusion for the Gem-Knight players out there, Metalfoes Fusion for anyone teching one of the Fusion targets in their Extra Deck, and Dragon Shrine remains a decent option for Blue-Eyes variations. For White Forest though it is by far a great option. There are many options to run in the archetype that function through banishing or being sent to the grave because of how the archetype monsters send or banish Spell/Trap cards to activate their effects. Curse of Diabell, WANTED, The Hallowed Azamina, Deception of the Sinful Spoils, and Azamina Debtors are all cards that are targets for FBG, though you would rather activate a few of them first.
A great tech card for many archetypes to get even more out of their strategies. Tearlament and Horus use this card the most of the Tier 1 archetypes we’ve seen come through within the last couple years, however, it remains a card you see popping up consistently and should remain that way with so many Spells/Traps having grave effects now. White Forest is the current archetype to utilize multiple copies of this card, and it won’t be the last.

Throwback Thursday this week brings us to the retrain of the classic Foolish Burial, now repurposed as Foolish Burial Goods.
Foolish Burial Goods is a Normal Spell that sends any Spell/Trap from the Deck to the graveyard. It’s a solid effect that the game was missing for so many years until this finally dropped in 2017. Some immediate generic cards I can think of for this are The Black Goat Laughs and Transaction Rollback. You also got Lunalight in the meta again, so sending Lunalight Serenade Dance or even Luna Light Perfume is a play you can do. Sky Striker could use this to send Sky Striker Spells to recover with Kagari or to put Metalfoes Fusion into the graveyard to get as many Spell names as possible. The game keeps growing with Spells & Traps with graveyard effects, constantly adding more value to Foolish Burial Goods. This isn’t to mention running Rainbow Bridge of Salvation to search for any Field Spell, just as long as you also put a Crystal Beast into the Deck as a brick. They learned from Foolish Burial having no HOPT clause, now adding it here. It didn’t stop the OCG from Semi-Limiting this card, where it remains to this day over there, but the HOPT helps keep it from being an easy candidate on the Limited list and the TCG still gets to play 3 currently. If you run a Deck that wants to put Spells & Traps into the graveyard, Foolish Burial Goods is a solid go-to for your Deck.

One of those alleged “ticking time bomb” cards, this week’s Throwback Thursday card is Foolish Burial’s weaker cousin, the Normal Spell, Foolish Burial Goods. Notably, it is hard once per turn unlike Foolish Burial, but otherwise has a single, very similar effect, sending any Spell or Trap from your deck to the Graveyard. I would say Rise of the Duelist was when we started getting lots of Spells and Traps with actually impactful Graveyard effects, so it’s no surprise to see Foolish Burial Goods having tons of applications. Yesterday, we talked about using it to send Curse of Diabell to set up Diabellstar Vengeance, but there are other ways to use Foolish Burial Goods. The outdated Metalfoes Fusion engine used it for a free draw (how times have changed); more impactfully, Rainbow Bridge of Salvation was a popular engine in decks that really needed Field Spell access, since Foolish Burial Goods could send it directly to the Graveyard and search any Field Spell. The latter was half of the reason Foolish Burial Goods ended up being Semi-Limited in the OCG and Limited in Master Duel. The culprit? None other than Tearlaments, since it could search Primeval Planet Perlereino, known for being both a ROTA and a source of disruption. As a cherry on top, Foolish Burial Goods could also send Tearlaments Sulliek to also function as a ROTA, improving consistency. In the TCG, Foolish Burial Goods is fortunately unscathed as Tearlaments received other hits in its place. Aside from running it in White Forest for easy access to Vengeance, other current meta decks that appreciate it include Lunalight, which sends Luna Light Perfume for a ROTA, and Orcust, which sends Orcust Cresendo for…a ROTA. Yeah. Basically, if your deck has a Spell or Trap with a really good Graveyard effect, you’ll probably want to consider Foolish Burial Goods, especially if it’s a ROTA. Obviously it’s not always useful in every deck and not as powerful as Foolish Burial, but it doesn’t have to be.
+Great combo starter in many decks with Spells or Traps that have combo-related Graveyard effects
-Generic card and thus unsearchable in practice
Advanced: 4.25/5
Art: 3.5/5 Not very exciting, but given the art of Peaceful Burial, I appreciate that our zombie friend seems to like the flowers.
