What we know so far about YGO Rage Of The Abyss!
Update - 20/08/24
We've just added a bunch of new cards, that have since been confirmed, in their English version. Not only that, but Konami confirmed a new card last night that will be one of the Ultra Rares you can win in the YuGiOh! Rage Of The Abyss Premiere Event. Mimighoul Charm is a continuousĀ spell card,Ā Mimighoul is a new deck archetype introduced in YuGiOhs most recent set,Ā The Infinite Forbidden.
This card reads "Once perĀ Chain, during theĀ Main Phase, if a "Mimighoul"Ā monsterĀ your opponentĀ controlsĀ is flippedĀ face-up: You can randomly choose 1Ā face-downĀ card in your opponent'sĀ Extra Deck, and if it is a monster that can beĀ Special Summoned, Special Summon it to yourĀ field, but it cannotĀ activateĀ itsĀ effectsĀ thisĀ turn. If it wasn't, or couldn't be Special Summoned,Ā banishĀ that card. You can only use this effect of "Mimighoul Charm" twice per turn".
Given this archetype isĀ just over a month old, this card provides crazy support (especially given that the strategy of Mimighoul is to summon them on your opponents side of the field, stopping them from summoning monsters).Ā
