For this week we are running without a theme. We still got alot of cards left, but not all of them fit into a week. Today we are jumping into "Joco; Jocular Comedian." I don't know why this card hasn't been given a review yet. But, we got alittle background information about Joco first. His real name is Chocolove, born and raised in New York City. He used to be in a gang until he turned his life around and became a Shaman. His goal in life now is to spread the "gag wind;" A feeling of laughter and happiness where ever he goes. His Manga and Anime background story are slightly different, but basically the same as I described above.

"Joco; Jocular Comedian" has a Yoh trait restriction, same as last Friday's card. This teamwork only costs 1 yellow furyoku, which is considered very cheap, because of his effect. Joco's effect is; "In Joco's zone, you may pay yellow costs with green furyoku." You can't use this effect on the card cost of playing Joco, though. But when you have this in play, you aren't going to be spending as much yellow furyoku as you normally would. Green furyoku is pretty easy to come by. It's a great counter to yellow furyoku control decks. Also the effect is optional. It turns big strike card costs into something a bit more cheaper.

This card is basically considered a "staple" (meaning it's played in almost every deck) in decks that support a Yoh team trait. In tournaments, alot of people will run this. Same in Casual and Sealed events since it cheapens the furyoku costs. Decks that support a Yoh team trait will at least have one of these in their decks. Running up to 4 copies isn't very uncommon either. It's a great card. But some deck might require the use of another teamwork instead, so running 4 Jocos might disrupt the deck's balance. I don't want to give this card a '5/5' rating, but this could rank as the best common card in this set. There isn't much more you could improve on this card, except making the cost free. Great card, play it if you can.

Casual: 4.9/5
Tournament: 4.9/5
Sealed: 4.9/5
