"Immortal Phoenix Gearfried" Rating Score by コングの施し

A remake of "Phoenix Gearfried" that appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh 10th Strak R series. He was stripped of his Dual, which was his most appealing point, but in exchange, he gained three new powers: (1) loose summoning conditions, (2) excellent removal, and (3) interfering with monster effects.
Since it was a struk that wanted to push equipment cards and duals, the summoning conditions would be quite loose. As a Level 9 Warrior, it's difficult to Special Summon from the Deck, but in the Homura Noble Knight Deck, which uses this card as the main card, it is possible to perform a substantial search with 《Infernoble Knight Ogier》and 《Infernoble Knight - Renaud》. cannot be Special Summoned, but can be searched directly with the ① effect of 《Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights》.
In addition, the 2nd effect is to remove the opponent's monster as an Equip Card at the start of the Damage Step without targeting it. Since it doesn't target, destroy, remove, or bounce, it's one of the best removal effects. It can only be used when attacking yourself, and it is a good adjustment that it is limited to only one body. Also, the handling of equipment cards has become more diverse recently, and in a minor way, by using it together with 《Eka the Flame Buddy》, you can actually take control of your opponent.
And the effect of ③ that meshes well with ②. The equipment card is used as a cost to negate the activation of the monster effect, but if you send the equipment card from ② to his GY, you will be able to use the equipment at the time of attack repeatedly. Also, since this effect does not require the cost of the card equipped to this card, if you use it in conjunction with other cards that make full use of the equipment card (《Borreload Savage Dragon》, 《Emperor Charles the Great》, etc.), you can develop it first. You can easily aim.
And the embarrassing point about Warrior's Strike R, which includes this card, is that this card was blatantly designed to be used in combination with the original 《Phoenix Gearfried》. This card's negate range for the effect of ③ is limited to monster effects only, making it vulnerable to Spell Trap. However, by creating a board together with the original 《Phoenix Gearfried》, you can protect the Spell Trap with Phoenix Gearfried and create a system that blocks monster effects with this card, creating a board that entrusts each other with their backs.
Overall, the lax summoning conditions, removal effects, interference effects, illustrations, and effect backgrounds are all impeccable, making this one of the best cards in Yu-Gi-Oh history.
