The Sacred Beasts (and their effects):
* Hamon, Lord of the Striking Thunder: Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by discarding 3 monsters from your hand with different names. When this card is Special Summoned, destroy all monsters on the field, then Special Summon 3 "Hamon" Tokens (Thunder-Type/Beast/Level 4/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) to your field.
* Uria, Lord of Searing Flames: Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by discarding 3 monsters from your hand with different names. When this card is Special Summoned, all monsters on the field are destroyed.
* Raviel, Lord of the Phantasmal Chaos: Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by discarding 3 monsters from your hand with different names. When this card is Special Summoned, destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on the field.
The Challenges:
* Summoning Conditions: They're incredibly hard to summon! You need to discard three different monsters from your hand, which is a big sacrifice, especially in a duel.
* Limited Use: They're only playable once per duel, as they cannot be Special Summoned more than once.
* No Normal Summon: You can't use them in standard "Tribute Summon" strategies.
* Destructive Effects: Their effects are powerful, but they can be detrimental to your own field.
Tips for Using the Sacred Beasts:
* Build your deck around their summoning conditions. Include plenty of cards that have different names and that you can easily discard.
* Use their effects strategically. If you're about to lose, destroy your opponent's field and even your own to turn the tables.
* Don't rely on them as your only win condition. They're meant to be a powerful but risky play.
Remember:
The Sacred Beasts are powerful, but they come with a high cost. Use them carefully and with a plan, and they can be a devastating force in your deck. Good luck!
