*Xander Mobus voice* 3! *Xander Mobus voice*
Another Number! (...and an odd one at that.) It's Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir!
General Observation:
Very interesting effect on this one: If you keep it in attack mode, it can't be destroyed or targeted by your opponent's card effects. However, if it's on the defense, all Monsters on the field must remain in defense position and Monsters already on the field in defense get their effects negated. This could either be a good attacking force if you suspect your opponent has a Trap up their sleeve or a way to lock them down so you can either inflict effect damage or deck them out. However, you have to detach one XYZ material from this card per turn if you want to keep it on the field, so cards that replenish your material are a must if you plan on using it in any large combo.
Trivia Observation:
Bagooska was originally printed in the fairly recent TCG set, Circuit Break. Despite being a Number, it was never featured in any version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. This card is also an esteemed member of the censored artwork club, as the original Japanese card (Seen above) featured giant bottles and flasks of Beer rather than pillows. (In fact, this card's Japanese name refers to it as a "Mud-Sleeping Demon Beast," to which "Mud-Sleeping" is a jape on being passed out from drinking too much!) Nice to see he sobered up for the West.
Personal Observation:
Another card I've never heard of and another weird one, too. Is the holiday connection supposed to be that Christmas Eve sleep before you open your loot or am I missing something? Whatever the case, it's cool adding yet another Number to my collection.
That's all there is today, but keep your feet planted at the Lazy Shell for the LAST THREE DAYS of Astral's Advent Observations!
