Agent Angel: I like fairies

Today, I pre-ordered 3 copies of the new structure deck, 'Lost Sanctuary' (I got a pretty good deal too, it comes with a free A6 'monster' binder... hurrah for ebay!).

To those of you who have been living in a bunker, religiously playing yugioh to avoid the rapture, without contact with the outside world, 'Lost Sanctuary' is a new fairy theme deck that expands on the 'Agent' archtype introduced in 'Ancient Sanctuary' years ago. The OCG has had the deck for a while, the new cards introduced resulted in fairy decks being top tier in OCG territories.

In anticipation of the new fairies, I've recently been testing the deck on Duel Net. My honest opinion of the deck is that it's not quite as explosive as some of the other decks in the TCG tiers. It either loses cards very fast as you try to stop your opponent with herald of the orange light, or really REALLY works.

There are various builds of the deck, but the one I was testing was a build based around 'Agent of Creation - Venus' and 'Agent of Mystery - Earth'.

Agent of Mystery - Earth is one of the new fairies, and probably one of the most significant release. It's a level 2 tuner, that allows an agent player to add a different agent to hand. Combined with Venus' Shine Ball spamming abilities enables fairies players easy access to trishula, mist wurm and black rose.

The decks really easy to understand. The general idea is make pluses, win.

Jupiter is a searchable beatstick that can boost himself over a pesky opposing synchro monster. Jupiter also also some handy grave control to help bust out that kristya.

Hyperion is a new boss monster, that has been compared to DAD, with a once per turn clause.

This concludes the short preview of a deck we'll be seeing alot of in the near future. The deck also brings new variants of fairy decks thanks to 'cards from the sky'. I will be investigating these in future articles.
