Duelists love the Madolche for their cute illustrations and unique strategies ever since they first appeared in Return of the Duelist last year. Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy adds a cherry on top of the no-monsters-in-Graveyard sundae with a new monster and a new Trap Card for this incredible, edible theme!

Madolche Hootcake lets you banish any monster from your Graveyard to Summon any “Madolche” monster from your Deck, except for another copy of itself. It’s the best way to Summon Madolche Puddingcess and the best way to clean up your Graveyard so that she gets her ATK and DEF boost. It’s also the best way to Special Summon Madolche Messengelato and trigger its ability to search for a “Madolche” Spell/Trap Card.

Spell and Trap Cards like Madolche Chateau and Madolche Ticket are must-haves if you want to pull off sweet Madolche combos and make sure that you never run out of monsters. But the new Trap Card Madolche Nights helps to ensure that nothing goes horribly wrong once you play your combo! As long as you have no monsters in your Graveyard, you can use Madolche Nights to negate the activation of any monster effect, and if you also control Puddingcess, shuffle a card from your opponent’s hand back into their Deck.

Many monster effects can only be used once or carry heavy costs. None of that is refunded to your opponent when you use Madolche Nights, even though the monster itself isn’t destroyed. And since the best way to clean your Graveyard, Madolche Hootcake, is also the best way to Summon Puddingcess, there’s a great chance that your opponent will lose their effect, a card from their hand, and a monster from their field once Puddingcess gets angry!

If you’ve never tried a Madolche Deck before, now’s a great time! You can find Madolche cards in Return of the Duelist, Abyss Rising, and Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy!
