Mermaid Idol, Elly – #V-EB15/018EN (RR)

[AUTO](VC/RC):When its attack or the attack it boosted hits a vanguard, search your deck for up to one “Mermaid Idol, Elly”, reveal it and put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck. If you put a card into your hand, and this unit is on (RC), retire this unit. [AUTO](GC):When placed, COST [put a “Mermaid Idol, Elly” from your drop zone on the bottom of your deck], and this unit gets [Shield]+10000 until end of that battle.

Uh…she makes a nice Expect Rhythm target in the event she dies? From a practical standpoint being a 20k shield can stave off a fairly decent attack, but V Series is in a state where the numbers from every corner of the field means that you either push back just as hard or simply roll over. And I wouldn’t go about trying to make some situational shield happen just to survive when I can already name Bermuda Decks that have plenty of offensive pressure to either catch up or swing around a win, Melody and Riviere being chiefly among them.

Elly is nice, but frankly having to constantly sack her by hitting, which isn’t even very reliable, and then not calling her for boosting means she has no practical place. Sorry.

2.25/5
