Yu-Gi-Oh! has evolved from normal monsters, to effect monsters, then to "destructive" effect monsters and finally, Effect Monsters that can activate from anywhere else, besides the field at will.
GLOW-UP BULB is one of the cards released in Starstrike Blast. This tiny little plant type monster has been very popular the second it was announced to be released in TCG. It has the ability to special summon itself without a -1 cost for the player (milling 1 card is hardly a -1 but actually +1 or even +2 for most meta decks). Besides the free summon, this little guy is also a level 1 tuner. This card is probably one of the best, splashable tuners next to Plaguespreader Zombie - the fact that PSZ is a level 2 which is more reasonable than a level 1 and its a DARK type monster.
The card being splashable, decks like Infernities, Lightsworn, Dark World work wonders with this card. Because its a plant tuner, this card grants BLACK ROSE DRAGON's 2nd effect to all non-plant decks that synchro and go in for the kill; instead of the usual "blow up the field" option.
With MONSTER REBORN and CALL OF THE HAUNTED available, Glow-up Bulb can be used multiple times without removing it from play, unlike Plaguespreader Zombie; ignoring the "this effect can only used once per duel." Of course, being a plant type, plant decks will abuse this card - even more abusive than Infernity Launcher.
Expect this card to show up almost every time in every deck you face. There is also a chance this card might end up limited in the next format due to its splashability and versatility.
Trivia: This card was originally used by Akiza Izayoi in the episode where she used Glow-up Bulb to summon Stardust Dragon against Andore of Team Unicorn.
