SD39-X01

Twinkle Equip (煌転装, Kō tensō) is a keyword which debuted in SD39. The only Spirit to possess it is The NobleDragoon Nu-Siegfried. The effect in itself is very unique in the game where direct search (not counting GX cards) doesn't really exist.

The keyword's text reads:

  • Twinkle Equip (When Advents)
    Target a family, and you can discard cards from your decktop until a Brave card with the targeted family is discarded. When you've done so, summon that card without paying the cost.

Rulings:

  1. You must continue to discard cards from the top of your deck and stop once you discard a Brave card with the targeted family.
  2. First, you must discard until you've discarded a Brave card with the targeted family. Second, you will summon the Brave card from your trash.
  3. You may summon any spirit/brave cards from your trash that can be summoned if it was discarded from the deck (i.e. The NobleOrder Soldier-Azure, The GloryWarrior O-Superia, Glorious-Flugel, etc).

While it comes with the risk of emptying own deck, the effect proves to be a very effective one to accelerate the game plan of the user of Nu-Sieg as the effect is essentially both a search and free summon effect. By calling Braves with symbols, Nu-Sieg would instantly become a double symbol attacker than is unaffected by opposing effects and can refresh once per turn. This is particularly lethal during early turns when the opponent doesn't have much cores reserved for defense. Due to the advent nature of Nu-Sieg, it can come down at very early stage as long as advent base is ready (via special summons or Bursts etc.) and pose lethal threats to the opponent.

Since it is a deck-discarding effect, its arch enemy would be cards that prevent deck destruction like God Break. The user must also know clearly how many Braves are left when they advent Nu-Sieg and activate the effect, as a wrong declaration would result in milling the entire deck and losing the game next turn. There are also rare cases that the Brave the player calls is exactly the bottom card of the deck, which would again be forcing the user into a life-and-death situation during that turn if there are no means prepared to return cards back to own deck. However, all things considered, the tempo advantage brought by the effect is still too huge that the weakness can be covered.
