Bujintei Susanowo - Yu-Gi-Oh Promo Card Review

by ElspethFTW, Old School Duelist

Originally printed in Judgment of the Light,  Bujintei Susanowo  is the key Xyz Monster in Bujins, essentially being their boss monster. Now, the Bujins version of the 2014 Mega Tin has Susanowo as a Platinum Secret Rare, and it looks pretty sweet. He wasn’t a super expensive card before, as an ultra and ultimate rare, and now he’ll be very easy to acquire. He’s even featured in the Mega Pack 2014 expansion set, as an ultra rare, as well!

Bujintei Susanowo  requires two Level 4 “Bujin” monsters to be summoned, which considering how many Bujins the deck runs, isn’t ever going to be a problem. He has 2400 ATK and 1600 DEF, solid stats for a Rank 4 Xyz monster. He has the ability to attack all monsters your opponent controls once each, which is a sweet effect. Also, once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material attached to Susanowo to take 1 “Bujin” monster from your Deck and either add it to your hand or send it to the Graveyard. You can only control 1 Susanowo at any one time.

Being a sort of “toolbox” deck, Bujins have become a very well-rounded deck that can respond to many different situations. Having a card that can help you get just the Bujin where you need it and when you need it is extremely helpful. The fact that he’s also a solid offensive force helps the cause. He’s a great reprint, and it’s interesting that he’s essentially featured twice in these tins due to the fact you can pull him as an ultra rare in the packs as well as being a promo in one of the tins. Konami really wanted players to have this guy. I understand why.
