My love letter to the OG Elemental Heroes (Written)

[The Old Charlelot 2]

Hey everyone,

 

I always loved Elemental HERO monsters from way back when they came out in The Lost Millennium to the new ones that have come out recently. That being said, while the newer heroes are way more powerful and a thousand times more versatile than the original, I always felt that their visual design was somewhat lacking. Call it nostalgia or a silly crush, I’ve always wanted to use the OG Heroes in a somewhat descent manner in a modern duel Deck. So this is my love letter to the old Heroes and while they may never be as powerful or popular than the manga cards, they will never be forgotten. Some of you that are familiar with the yugiohcardmaker may remember some of those card but since I first posted these on the web, my ideas for the archetype have evolved considerably.

 

So have a look and tell me what you think.

If this card is used as a Fusion Material: You can add 1 “Skyscraper” Field Spell Card or 1 card that specifically lists “Skyscraper” in its card text from your Deck to your hand.
