Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 627

Chương 627: Chapter 627: Sky Dragon's Relative?

From the moment he saw the design of this dragon, he'd been wondering—does this thing have some family connection to Slifer Red? That head looks like it could be the same species.

And now, hearing the opponent say that this dragon's attack is "number of cards in hand x 1000"...

Hmm, must be a coincidence, definitely a coincidence.

Just like how the Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, also has an Slifer Red-like face and attack power calculated based on traps in the graveyard x 1000—surely, all just coincidences.

Candelato, the Beast of Light, this thing is also a card exclusive to the anime's Light of Destruction, and never got a physical card. Of course, unlike those old overpowered cards that couldn't be printed due to their brokenness, this one probably was just forgotten.

You have to discard two cards to summon it—in other words, you're spending three cards to get it on the field.

So, a big monster that costs three cards to summon should be really strong, right?

But actually, it's not. Its only positive effect is cosplaying as Slifer Red the Sky Dragon, making its attack "number of cards in hand x 1000." But does it have a hard, dominating ability like Raigeki? Sorry, nope.

Instead, it has a severe downside: "As long as this card is on your field, you skip your draw phase."

Oh, and by the way, it can't attack the turn it's summoned.

So as a three-for-one big monster, its only use is for attack points, but it can't even attack the turn it comes out. And then it skips your own draw phase. With such a heavy drawback, its tiny positive effect is basically negligible.

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!" said the alien.

"With your cards set, your hand size decreases, and so does your monster's attack!" Jaden said.

[Candelato, the Beast of Light, ATK 5000 → ATK 3000]

"Even so, that's still Blue-Eyes White Dragon level attack." Mokuba commented, "Not that easy to deal with."

"My turn, draw."

Jaden drew a card, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a moment.

"I set a monster in face-down defense position, then set two more cards. Turn end."

"Jaden also started with such a defensive play?"

Mokuba was a bit surprised. He remembered Jaden as a hot-blooded, aggressive duelist when they first met.

Seems like his style has changed. He wondered who Jaden had learned from. 1

Thinking of this, Mokuba couldn't help secretly glancing at a certain someone next to him.

"At your end phase, I activate a set card," said the alien. "Trap Card 'Reckless Greed'! Draw two cards from the deck, but skip my next two draw phases!" 1

The alien drew two cards from their deck.

"My turn." The alien continued. "Of course, because of Reckless Greed, I can't draw.

But with Candelato, the Beast of Light on the field, I wouldn't be able to draw anyway. So I just skip directly to the standby phase."

"Must skip the draw phase?" Even Jaden was surprised. "Such a huge drawback for a monster?"

Even Mokuba was pondering: "True. You get a twelve-star, instant high-attack suppressor, but the price is huge. If you can't draw as long as it's on the field..."

Kira mused: "So if I can strip the opponent's hand bare at the start, then somehow force this thing onto their field, wouldn't they become 'the living dead'?" 1
