Herald of Black Light - No-brainer Link2 monster

[Darj]

Herald of Black Light

Attribute: LIGHT
Type: Fairy/Link/Effect
Link: 2

Link Marker: Bottom-center, bottom-left
ATK: 1000

2 Fairy-Type monsters

When a Spell/Trap Card or monster effect is activated: You can Tribute 1 monster linked to this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. You can only use the effect of "Herald of Black Light" once per turn.

 

A Herald for Link Monsters, so much fuuuun! :v

The effect should be something I bet most of us can see coming after Decoder Talker. IDK if Link Markers are supposed to have patterns (e.g. no active markers next to each other), but didn't feel mean enough to give this one a marker on the top side, nor at the right or left to keep it from building links in the MM Zones.

 

Thoughts?

So right off the bat you could tech these to make and utilize him:

• Norm Fairies: With the Spells Unexpected Dai and Silent Doom (at least to get him out)
• Star Seraph engine: With the Staff Chair engine you'll probably come out with at least one tribute stun (and of course that draw power)
• Melodius since they have a surprising amount of Special Summons though of course you wouldn't want to use your walling Aria until last resort
• Winged Kuriboh and Flute of Summoning Kuriboh: Flute of Summoning Kuriboh could be a way to get stun material unexpectedly during your opponent's turn.
• Float Fairies: the traditional Shining Angel, and Nova Summoner float engine could make your opponent stumped provided they can't kill this guy 1st.

I might need some clarity though because I am uncertain if "Links" could be non-Extra Deck monsters on the Link monsters specified zones.

You are missing Norden + Level4 or lower Fairy in the grave, too :v

In b4 we have a new Herald of Apocalypticness that somehow incorporates all different types of Heralds into its Ritual Summon a-la-Super Soldier Ritual and negates you playing the ENTIRE GAME AT ALL by discarding 1 Fairy. 

 

But really, any card that gives Fairies field presence and ISN'T Melodious or Dimensional-Barrier vulnerable is kosher with me. 

 

So there. 

 

MOAR HERALDS.
