Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua was spotted in the Side Deck of a [Demise True Draco] decklist for the 2nd ORANGE CS Team Battle (1/4) tournament. It was used by Player C of the Runner-Up Team.

Today, we shall discuss the utility and function of Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua as a tech option in [True Draco] decks.



Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua

Effect Monster

Level 10 / DARK / Reptile

ATK 2800/ DEF 1800

There can only be 1 “Earthbound Immortal” monster on the field. If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card. Your opponent cannot target this card for attacks. This card can attack your opponent directly. If this card is destroyed by a card effect, except by its own effect: Destroy all cards on the field.

Destruction

The [True Draco] theme revolves around using their Field Spell Dragonic Diagram to search out the archetype’s Spells & Traps, by destroying cards on the field or in the hand.

When Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua is destroyed by Dragonic Diagram, it destroys all cards on the field. This mass destruction effect, of both backrow and monsters, speaks for this card’s effectiveness. It is a mandatory effect that won’t miss its activation timing.

Bear in mind that this will also destroy your own Dragonic Diagram, after its search effect resolved.

On the field

Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua may serve more purpose in the hand waiting to be destroyed but it can also be summoned. In the grave, it can be revived in the player runs Monster Reborn or Call of the Haunted. Otherwise, it can just be tribute summoned from the hand.

In a deck like [True Draco] which has an archetype Field Spell – Dragonic Diagram, Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua can remain on the field as long as Dragonic Diagram does. Decks with Field Spells populate the current metagame (E.g. Invoked, Kozmo), giving Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua a more likely chance to remain on the field.

The player has also included two copies of The Monarch Stormforth in his Side Deck to facilitate its summon. (Reminder: It is Unlimited in the OCG.)

A Master Peace, the Dracoslaying King tribute summoned using a Monster(s) as a Tribute will survive Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua‘s destruction and remain on the field. The ensuing blank field can allow Master Peace, the Dracoslaying King to attack directly.

Conclusion

Like Vortex Trooper, Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua acts as a target for Dragonic Diagram to destroy while benefitting the user.

When on the field, Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua isn’t a threat that can be ignored. It is a 2800ATK monster that can attack the opponent directly, while it cannot be attacked. It forces your opponent to react to it immediately and may propose an interesting dilemma when they have to consider destroying their own field spell.

[True Draco Dinosaurs] decks can also play Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua, along with the added advantage of being able to search it via the Rank 4 King of the Feral Imps.
