Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight

[76561198443235523]

Three new cards were added to the Card Trader’s inventory last week, and one of them is the Ultra Rare Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight! This monster has an impressive 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF, plus a cool effect. You can only Special Summon it when you have the same number of DARK monsters and LIGHT monsters in your Graveyard. When you do, you banish all DARK or all LIGHT monsters from your Graveyard. If you banished all DARK monsters, you can give up your Battle Phase for the turn to banish a random card from your opponent’s hand face-down until your opponent’s End Phase. If you banished all LIGHT monsters from your Graveyard instead, you can target a monster on the field and banish it.

Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight hits hard and can banish threatening cards on your opponent’s field and in your opponent’s hand. It can also be Special Summoned easily, while you have as few as 1 DARK monster and 1 LIGHT monster in your Graveyard. You can use Yami Bakura’s Compensation, Tether of Defeat, or Fiend Farewell skills to send monsters from your Deck to your Graveyard and feed the Summoning requirement for Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight. You can also use the Beginning of Heaven and Earth Trap Card (also available at the Card Trader) to add Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight to your hand while sending other monsters from your Deck to your Graveyard.

What do you think of Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight? What type of Deck and Character Skill do you think works best with it?

Curently in my opinion Bujins make the new Bls most optimal in a competitive sense thanks to yamato searching and dumping the needed atributes.

I use it in my Kuriboh deck along with Darkflare Dragon

Personally, I would have prefered "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning".

It has the same attack and defence as "Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Evening Twilight", easier to summon, and not only do you get to chose which of the two effect you want to use, they are arguably better.

They are as follows:

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can activate 1 of these effects.
-Target 1 monster on the field; banish that target face-up. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.
-If this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, after damage calculation: It can make a second attack in a row.

Though all in all, I'm happy to have gotten the card nonetheless, here's to hoping you guys release"Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" and the ritual monster "Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier" in the near future as well.

well i tried to make it to work with my worm deck since all monsters are light types, with skill that let you draw Dark card when your lp is decreased by 1.5k. to addition to this deck i have 3 evil dragons ananta that will remove other monsters from gy when is summoned, and worm zero lets you remove cards from gy so you have some control over what monster is going to the graveyard since you can clean it. so the best combo would be use dragon early then worm type monster, but i never pull it since you need to have this card in your hand or draw it with draw sense which is 1:4 generally removed the card from the deck.

I know this is just marketing / PR on Konami's part, but for a card like that to work you really do need a lot of low star Light / Dark monster soldiers in your deck for it to work properly. It feels like it should be part of a set that is made just for that.

Now Konami if you really want to make some money go get a LittleKuriboh voice pack for this game so we can get Grandpa to tell us all about his forbidden love with Black Lustre Soldier. I'd buy that right up.

well you could combine BLS-EoET with the new gaia fusion,
"Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Knight"
[ 1 "Gaia The Fierce Knight" monster + 1 Dragon-Type monster ]
( this means gaia (earth) or swift gaia (dark) + any dragon )

fusion summon sky galloping
by tributing swift gaia ( dark ) and BEWD ( light ) ( or any other light attribut dragon )
spec summon BLS-EoET

run "birthright" to get BEWD on the board
run "ancient rules" to spec summon BEWD

Of course you would, the Envoy variant would be OP as hell in this game. It literally takes zero effort to summon, wrecks everything in battle or banishes anything that can oppose it. Drop it with Mirage Dragon (conveniently a LIGHT monster) and watch everyone scoop instantly.

It's not OP compared to a vast number of other cards that are already in the game. While yes, it's easier to summon out of the two, you still need 1 dark and 1 light monster in your graveyard, which can throw many decks out of balance.

As for the effects, I would say they are better in that they are more balanced. With evening twilight, if you choose to banish a monster on the field, you can still attack that same turn, whereas with envoy of the beginning, you not only banish the target face up, but you cannot attack with the card in the same turn. As for the secondary effect of attacking twice, there are several heavy hitters already in the game that have the same effect, some with better (attacking more than twice) as well as additional effects that make them even more ridiculous than this card could ever possibly be.

I'd be all for more BLS support like Evening Twilight Knight or even Super Soldier, but there's absolutely no way EotB can be released right now in Duel Links' current format without being completely game-breaking. There is a reason why Chaos Emperor Dragon is still banned today, and while EotB is still playable and isn't as relevant as it once was, it's semi-limited to a maximum of 2 copies per deck purely for the fact that it has one of the easiest summoning requirements for a monster of its kind (banish a LIGHT and DARK monster from your GY to SS from your hand), and it gets either a free banish per turn or two 3000ATK attacks. It and CED literally changed the game as a whole and set entirely new standards for card design when they first came out, having it here in Duel Links would also completely change this format as well, and likely not for the better.

Chaos Emperor Dragon without an errata would break Duel Links so hard its gonna crash the game. It cannot contain it lol
