Flames of Destruction is the last 100-card booster set before this year’s World Championship Qualifiers, and this is where you can find support for the Decks you’ve been playing during the year, or it could convince you to pick up a new strategy with an attractive new option now available. If you’re not familiar with the Altergeist Deck, Altergeist Multifaker may make you take a look at what these cards can do.

Altergeist Multifaker is a Level 3 DARK Spellcaster with 1200 ATK and 800 DEF. You can Special Summon it from your hand if you activate a Trap Card, and when it’s Special Summoned by any method, you can Special Summon another Altergeist that isn’t Altergeist Multifaker from the Deck in Defense Position. Multifaker is another option that gives the Altergeist Deck more utility than it already had.

The most obvious use for Multifaker’s effect is to use it with the Altergeist Trap Cards: Altergeist Camouflage, Altergeist Manifestation and Altergeist Protocol. Of these three, Altergeist Protocol is the easiest to use with Multifaker since Protocol doesn’t have any activation requirements like the other ones do. Just activate Protocol when you’re ready to Special Summon Multifaker from your hand, and you’ll also get its effect to Special Summon another Altergeist from your Deck, and there are plenty of good options to pick from.

By Special Summoning Altergeist Kunquery, you put a 2400 DEF wall between your opponent and your Life Points, and you can negate the effect of a monster your opponent controls while Kunquery is on the field. Or, by Special Summoning Altergeist Marionetter, you can target an Altergeist on the field besides itself to revive an Altergeist from the GY, effectively giving you more chances to revive Altergeist monsters from the GY over multiple turns. If you Special Summoned Altergeist Meluseek instead, you could attack directly (provided you Special Summoned Meluseek on a previous turn so you could change its battle position) or use it as Link Material and get its GY effect to add an Altegeist monster from your Deck to your hand. Finally, if you Special Summoned Altergeist Silquitous, you could bounce Altergeist Multifaker and a card your opponent controls back to the hand, a powerful effect that can be activated during either player’s turn. This is especially effective if you started this sequence during the opponent’s End Phase; you could bounce away a Set Spell/Trap before it can be activated on your turn, or if you Special Summoned a Kaiju to your opponent’s field, you could use the Multifaker / Silquitous combo to bounce the Kaiju and Multifaker back to your hand to reuse later!

And just because I only mentioned the Altergeist Trap cards, doesn’t mean you can only use those with Altergeist Multifaker! Other powerful Trap Cards like any of the Mirror Force cards or the recently Limited Solemn Judgment can be used to trigger Altergeist Multifaker’s effect and start off a chain of Summons that your opponent will be forced to answer.

You can get Altergeist Multifaker at the Flames of Destruction Sneak Peek on April 28th and April 29th at local Official Tournament Store!
