THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL BEGINS!!
In just exactly 1 month, Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker will hit theaters, for that reason, even if I'm not a big fan of this new trilogy, I will do my part to get you all hyped!
In the next 4 weeks I'll be reviewing the most Star Wars-y cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!, there is A LOT of characters and references from the Galaxy far far away in the card theme that I will be covering, so I figure that 2 reviews a week is the best way to do it. I hope I'm able to pull it off.
These reviews will be a little different, as they will be more focused in giving you that good Star Wars nostalgia rush I know you all love...
Kozmo Goodwitch
Generation 5: Arc-V
Users: None (TCG Exclusive)
Artwork:
Star Wars is filled with many Mentor figures, Qui-Gon Jin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and of course, Master Yoda.
So what if we take all three of them and combine them with Gilnda, The Good Witch of the South from the classic story "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" ??
We get the level 4, LIGHT, Psychic monster "Kozmo Goodwitch" of course!
As crazy as that sounds, that is the entire theme of one of the standout themes in Yu-Gi-Oh's Generation 5...The "Kozmo" Cards! These incredibly unique batch of cards combine both of these stories into one hell of a crossover!
Kozmo Goodwitch design answers the eternal question "What if Yoda fusion danced with Qui-Gon Jin and then turned into a hot anime chick?" That is to say, the design keeps Glinda's design as the core and incorporates a nice good coat of Star Wars on top of her, and the end result is a very cool looking, if a bit too voluptuous green girl with a green "Lightsword" which now takes the place of the iconic wand. The fact that they could replicate the traditional Jedi Robes without getting into too much trouble surprises me, as this isn't exactly parody. But It looks great! And finally we get to have a fully realized background that feels like a reference to the interior of the Death Star, which gives the card a lot more personality than yet another generic explosion background.
Kozmo Goodwitch has an effect that allows her to Special Summon level 5 or higher monsters from your hand, this is an effect that all Kozmo cards have that I will go into detail shortly. What I want to talk about now is her unique effect, Once per turn: You can pay 500 LP, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and change it to face-down Defense Position. This effect is supposed to mirror a certain power Jedi have to avoid confrontations or get the upper hand in battles.
But like many more powers it comes at a cost, using the Force in Yugioh will cost you LP, so use it wisely!!
In this unique take on Star Wars, Kozmo Goodwitch has a certain enemy that she must confront, just like the "Kozmo" are the Jedi, always 2 "Kozmoll" there are, which brings me to...
Kozmoll Wickedwitch
Generation 5: Arc-V
Users: None (TCG Exclusive)
Artwork:
How about we take that sweet Darth Maul over there and combine it with Evanora, the Wicked Witch of East?
We get the Evil Level 4, DARK, Pyschic monster "Kozmoll Wickedwitch"!!
The design for Wickedwitch is very weak to me, the artwork feels a bit TOO anime for my tastes, the whole stupid "Yandere" look is something I particularly do not like. Once again the interior work well with the card and as a reference to STAR WARS, but this design is much much weaker than that of Goodwitch, that just looks better drawn and realistic enough. Sadly, not a fan of this design.
Wicked witch is able to "use the force" at the cost of 1000 LP, making her as invincible as Darth Maul himself, who can walk off getting cut in half!
WickedWitch is also able to summon forth a level 5 Kozmo monster by banishing herself, and now it's the time to explain what this means. This just means that all Kozmo Cards can leave the game (by Banishing themselves) to get aboard their starships!! And just like Darth Maul's Scimitar
Wicked witch pilots this beauty!
The Dark Destroyer can destroy any monster as soon as it hits the field, and much like Maul's Scimitar, it's so stealthy you can't target it with card effects!.
And if your opponent manages to destroy it, you will be able to special summon another high level spaceship card! Because trust me, we're getting more of those.
With that I give your first little taste of Yu-Gi-Oh! STAR WARS, with much much more to come!! Next up, we meet a young girl wishing for a better life in a sand planet...And her fateful encounter with two droids!
