Yomi, Sightless God

This is an interesting King. He came out in Betrayal, but still had the mukuro draw back of having one it's pieces being a Tournament ghost. This guy is strong. First his abbility to let you draw a card when you use a card from your opponents discard pile is quite powerful. His 2 cost for 11000 is strong enough, but then it also causes your opponent to discard a card. Then add in Raw power, the second strongest attack in the game, which has its own perk of reducing the cost of the yomi bonus, He just keeps getting better. His 4 for 14,000, discard the top 2 cards of your opponents deck is his biggest draw back. with a 7000 def, this attacks doubles himself, and since most deck run malevolent strike, he is probaly going to get hit by this. But its an exceptable draw back for being so great. Yomi clearly is one of the strongest kings, if not the strongest.

Overall: 4 of 5

Yomi, Sightless God 

In this one's opinion, the best of the kings. Mukuro is almost locked into a mill-win with her single, weak attack. Yusuke, while stronger in attack and defense, has his 'no effects' semi-drawback until you lose a piece, and Raizen is...eh.

Yomi, however, is solid. All the kings save Raizen have some sort of draw effect (Mukuro gets a card when they play an event, and Yusuke turns a random discard into a tutor every turn). Yomi draws when he uses his team bonus, playing a card from yoru opponent's discard. With Delude, everytime you use the Yomi bonus, you draw a card, regen two discarded cards, and mill them for one card, as well as whatever the card you used did. Nice. His attacks are large, 11000, 14000, and 40000 each, which can be a drawback when you see Kenko or Ruka. Otherwise, even with the strong defenses these days, the attacks can maim people. Intimidation discards a random card from their hand, and likely, with a 2-cost, will be the one most people use, as it can, along with doing damage, fill the discard pile with stealable cards. Blind strike is 4 for 14000, and mills two cards, which, while it sounds useful, tends to be the least used of the three attacks. Finally, Raw Power is 6 for 40000, strong enough to overwhelming kill just about anyone (base defense wise, it overwhelms anyone in the game, period), and lowers the cost to use the yomi team bonus by 1 spirit for the rest of the game. For the most part, good when you have the cards, and an overwhelming (or they already have two damage), to make absolutely sure they die. A 7000 defense, while large, isn't as big as it was a few sets ago, but should keep you alive for a bit.

Lastly, the topping, the Yomi team bonus. The ability to use a card from your opponent's discard pile, two spirit extra or no, is HUGE. Every Burst of Power, Yusuke's Fury, Malevolent Strike, or any other generically good card your opponent now draws means he has to look at it twice before he plays it. Yes, it might help him out, but how much will it also help you out? Also, being able to do it one per EACH turn means that any Halts your opponent uses also become ones you can use during his turn. All in all, a great king. Forget about it in sealed, no way you're pulling a full set.

Constructed 5/5 (a top tier deck)

Limited 1/5 (not happening)
