Card Review: Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

So the first card to be reviewed on this blog ever is..*Drumroll*....... Gorz the Emissary of Darkness!

So her it is:




Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Gorz has a rather unique effect here is:

When you take damage from a card your opponent controls while you control no cards, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Then activate the appropriate effect, based on the type of damage: ● Battle Damage: Special Summon 1 "Emissary of Darkness Token" (Fairy-Type/Light/Level 7/ATK ?/DEF ?). Its ATK and DEF are each equal to the amount of Battle Damge you took. ● Effect Damage: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the damage you took.


This effect can lead to many possibilities. You could get back at your opponent for Meteor of Destrution-ing you, and them some. the token is very usful and can even be stronger than Gorz himself. The token can also be useful for tributing. Which means Gorz goes nicly with the Monarchs.

Lets's look at the stats. 2700ATK and 2500 DEF. Wow. Not only do you get a great effect, you get a stats that makes Dark Magician shudder. Many monsters will have a tough time getting aroun 2500 DEF too.

I suggest you use Gorz with the Monarchs, and any level 5-6 monster. Gorz can be a little pesky to get out unless you have an empty feild so Gyrphon's Featherduster, and Thunder Crash, could provide a little help.

Overall Gorz is an awesome card and a dynamic game changer. I give it a 8/10 His only major flaws are that he is vulnerable to things like Bottomless Trap Hole, and Divine Wrath. He is also, a little hard to special summon. Yet overall a great card that can fit into many decks.
