“Sylvan” Special Feature: Combo To Reveal The Cards Of Your Deck! Seize Victory!

Sylvan Morigami Alsei LIGHT/Plant-Type/ATK 2300/DEF 3200 Xyz Summon it with 2 Level 8 monsters! Once per turn, you can activate this card’s effect by declaring a card name, and then reveal the top card of your Deck. If it’s the named card, it’s added to your hand, otherwise that card is sent to the Graveyard. It also has a powerful effect that can return 1 card on the field to the top or bottom of its owner’s Deck. Since this effect activates by using an Xyz Material whenever a card is sent from the Deck to the Graveyard, you can activate it using its first effect!

The Characteristics of the Sylvan Monsters
The Sylvan Monsters all generally have an effect that when you reveal a Plant-Type monster from the top of your Deck, you send that monster to the Graveyard, and it returns a card to the bottom of the Deck (in the order you choose if it’s multiple cards) when it’s not a Plant-Type monster!

Also, each of them has an effect that triggers when they’re sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by a card effect that excavates, so the “Sylvan” monsters are able to work in tandem with them.

What kind of cards will you add to your “Sylvan” Deck?
It’s recommended you add in Plant-Type monsters! By using Level adjusting Tuners like “Spore” and “Copy Plant“, you can build an interesting Deck that Xyz AND Synchro Summon!

Also, check for cards that can dump a huge number of “Sylvan” monsters to the Graveyard instantly, such as “Magical Merchant“!
