Card of the Week : Rescue Rabbit!
Hello fellow YUGINEWZ readers! Ayane here with another Card of the Week. This week I am going to be bringing you a card that has seen heavy play since it came out. This card also brings back fond memories of a certain little cat. This week we have RESCUE RABBIT.
"
Level 4 Beast/Effect 300ATK/100DEF
This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck. You can banish this face-up card you control; Special Summon 2 Level 4 or lower Normal Monsters with the same name from your Deck. Destroy them during the End Phase. The effect of "Rescue Rabbit" can only be activated once per turn. "
The effect really stands out doesn't it? This card can not be special summoned from the deck. So then how would we get it you ask? There is a few ways. The first way is draw power. If you can get it in your hand by draw power, you will be fine. You can always use Sangan to bring it to your hand. You can Foolish Burial it and then Monster Reincarnation. (That would be a round about way of it) All in all, there are many different ways you can get this card to your hand.
You can banish this face-up card you control: special summon two Normal Monsters with the same name from your deck. There are tons of normal monsters on which you can use this effect for. The most common in the deck are 3x Sabersaurus and 3x Kabazauls. These cards are consistent with the Dino Deck that is being played.
Destroy them during the End Phase. This can be avoided in two main ways. You can find a way to Synchro Summon with them, or you can XYZ Summon with them. This deck mainly XYZ Summons for Rank 4 monsters. These monsters mainly include Steelswarm Roach, Number 39: Utopia, Evolsaur Laggia and Evolsaur Dolkka
The effect of Rescue Rabbit is an ignition effect, and removing it from play is an activation cost for its' effect.
To stop the Rabbit is a trick. There is Bottomless Trap Hole to remove 1500 or higher attack monsters. There is Trap Hole to destroy 1000 or higher attack monsters. The only main trap that is played that would stop this would be Solemn Warning. However you can always Bottomless Trap Hole the Normal Monsters when they Special Summon from the deck.
This card has swept the meta and still remains a money card with Yu-Gi-Oh! At it's peak it was almost 600 dollars for a playset. Now it remains between 65-85 dollars for a single Rescue Rabbit. Will this card continue to dominate the meta?
This has been the second Card of the Week brought to you by Ayane. I hope you enjoyed it, and stay tuned for next weeks card.
