Advent Card 18: Hoshiningen

I'm back with yet another card from the advent calendar, and this is yet another golden oldie from the very early days of the card game.

This is another old, old card from either the first or second booster set for the card game ever to be released, and it was probably chosen for the advent calendar to symbolize the Christmas star. They actually came out with a new Link Monster version of this monster that’s a whole lot better than this card, and I kind of wish that new version for the advent calendar. Then again, this card has a heavy nostalgia feel to it, and for me that’s part of what Christmas is about; remembering the times of each Christmas to come before by sort of recreating those events with little traditions. Incidentally, this card was printed as an ultra rare card, while all the previous cards from the calendar have all only been super rare. My guess is now that we’re so close to Christmas, all of the remaining cards from the calendar will be ultra rare as well.

That does it for today. Tune in again tomorrow for yet another card from the calendar.
