Card of the Day - Intercept Wave

Card name: Intercept Wave

Wikia Page: http://www.yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Intercept_Wave

Most Synchro Monsters serve 1 important purpose: "Turn the tables around!". With high attack points or defense points, ridiculous effects, and easy summoning conditions, Synchros are very difficult to deal with during a duel. Luckily, its not true when it comes to Spells and Traps.

INTERCEPT WAVE is a handy little Quickplay Spell card, introduced in The Shining Darkness, that can neutralize every single synchro on the field. When it comes to attacking, this spell can instantly switch all synchros to defense position with an added twist. During the End Phase, all synchros get bounced back to the Extra Deck, preventing its user(s) to summon them once more with Spells/Traps.

Because the spell "Returns all Synchro Monsters back to the Extra Deck," it is immune to any effects that involve destruction like Destruction Jammer, My Body As A Shield, etc. And since its a Quickplay Spell card, it is way more flexible than traps - meaning it can be used in many more situations without setting it.

Card of the Day - Glow-Up Bulb

Card Name: Glow-up Bulb
Wikia Page: www.yugioh.wikia.com/Glow-up_Bulb

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.
