Yugicember Day 4: Chosen One

  For this December I will post eyeryday an article about a random Yu-Gi-Oh!-Card, which I randomly selected. These articles are not much planned ahead and are just posted without much research or proof-reading, because I don't have that sort of time. But I just felt like doing something like this for December, so here we are, I hope you like it. 

The card for the 4th of December is Chosen One.

Do you wanna play Roulette? I know I don't. 

 

So, the first three card we looked at were all at least decent and relativley new. Sadly, this streak ends here. Because the card for today is from 2004 and it is one of the worst cards in the Game. Prepare your body for this one.

"Chosen One" is a Normal Spell released in Labyrinth of Nightmare. It let's you select a monster and two non-Monster Cards from your Hand. Then your opponent randomly chooses one card among them and if he chooses the monster you can Special Summon it and sent the other cards to the Graveyard. If he don't, you sent all the cards to the Graveyard. Now, you don't need to know much about Yu-Gi-Oh to know, that is card is laughably bad. You need four specific cards in your hand to even activate it, so it is horribly clunky and will almost never even get the chance to activate. You also need to have a monster in hand, that you can't summon otherwise, so it is even worse, because this Situation will never accure. And even if it does one of every hundred Bloodmoons, you still only hav a 1 in 3 chance of even Special Summoning the monster. In most cases, you just lose your almost you entire hand and hve no option than just scooping. And even if your opponents picks the monster, you still go minus 3 in the process, and there is no deck I know about that has Spells and Traps with Graveyard effects and need to summon a specific monster from the hand and has not other ways of doing so. So no, there is no deck or strategy that wants to play this card, it is minus 3 in the best and a minus 4 in most situations and it does nothing to help anything. This is without a doubt one of the worst Spells in the entire Game.
