Today we have a new influencer reveal! In addition, since we'd fallen behind a bit, we'll also be doing some catch up after today's reveal.
This influencer reveal comes to us from the Youtuber "Yannishi's Daily Life Channel", who is also one of the winners of the Gate Ruler Music Grand Prix.

First thing's first, being a Darkness event is incredibly valuable. Previous Events that support Darkness have avoided having this attribute, which has reduced how much of your deck is Darkness, not just preventing you from filling the graveyard by simply playing Events, but also reducing the consistency of mill effects. So even with a mediocre effect, the mere presence of that attribute would have made the card notable.
But on top of that, its also an incredibly powerful card. Even at Normal speed, the removal heights it can reach is far beyond what you can typically get for the cost, with typically seeing 4 damage on Level 2s and 6 damage (or hard removal) on Level 3s. Its low cost makes it pretty easy to do a play of using this to remove something and then playing an Abyssal Summoner to bring out one of your Abyssal Concerto boss cards. Especially notable is this gives the deck yet another out to Malevolus Prime. Already in this set its received 2 powerful Abyssal Summoners with enough HP to more easily survive against Malevolus, and now this Event allows you to remove Malevolus before playing a Summoner, a play which requires the same 5 Darkness in graveyard that your big Abyssal Concerto units will require.
Lastly, it seems likely that Darkness will have many different ways of viably building it in this set. Its powerful 2 Abyssal Summoners (Dark Mother, who is featured later in this article, and Voltona), while both very good, do not work well together, so will likely be used in different builds. And beyond that, with this card, Final End's primary function working when played normally, and potentially more similar cards like "Black Knight, Zahar" who is known to be in this set, there could be a Darkness build that focuses less on actually Abyssal Summoning, and more on building up cards in the graveyard and benefitting from them.
All in all, its a fantastic card that perfectly fits Darkness's control oriented style of play.
With that said, on to the catch up of previous reveals!
