Madolche Card Review - Madolche Ticket

Last time we had a look at the party held by the Madolche Royals. Today we will be looking at: how do we get our invite to the party? The answer is simple. We need a Madolche Ticket!

Madolche Ticket
Spell Card Continuous

When a "Madolche" card(s) is returned from your side of the field or Graveyard to your hand or Main Deck by a card effect: Add 1 "Madolche" monster from your Deck to your hand. If you control a face-up Fairy-Type "Madolche" monster, you can Special Summon the monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position instead of adding it to your hand. You can only use the effect of "Madolche Ticket" once per turn.

The new spell card for Madolches, from Abyss Rising, doesn't disappoint in the slightest.

Now whilst this card is face-up, the first time a Madolche card is returned by a card effect from the field or graveyard to the Main Deck or hand then you can search for a new Madolche.

Keep in mind this effect is Mandatory. You must use the effect when a Madolche is first returned in a turn.

Also even if you control two or more copies of ticket: you use one per turn. Due to the last lines wording. So never have two activate, as it doesn't give you any extra searches.

Now what can trigger the search ability?
Well all the Madolche's first effect trigger it. So the whole Archtype triggers this card which is brilliant!

Queen Madolche and Cruffssant both trigger this card with their effects, likewise does Madolchepalooza when / if it bounces anything back during the end phase of the turn it is used.

Also if your maid is flipped and returns a Madolche Spell / Trap from your graveyard to your hand then Ticket will trigger. As ticket saids card(s) and not monster(s)!

Remember Chateau also works with this card. As it returns any Madolche monsters in the graveyard back to the deck, then it's other effect ( where any Madolche monster returned to the deck can be added back to the hand instead ) still also would trigger ticket!

Other cards you can use are compulsory evacuation device and such other effects.

Now what can't trigger this card? Things such as Genex Birdman and Mist Valley solider won't trigger this effect if they bounce a Madolche card because those are both costs and ticket states when a effect would return a Madolche card. Costs aren't effects!

Last bit of rules about this card is that it cannot miss timing. As its a mandatory effect. So after the effect that returned a Madolche card is resolved, ticket effect will happen!

Now the last part of the effect is a powerful extra. If you control a fairy-type Madolche Monster, (Such as Puddingcess or Madolche Queen) you can Special Summon the card you search with ticket in face-up attack instead of adding it to you hand.

What can you do from here? Maybe Special Summon a messenger from your deck for a search? Or grab a beater like Cruffssant or even Special Summon Puddingcess from your deck to get rid of some problem cards!

Ill talk more about Queen in the next post, but her effect can trigger ticket and as she is a fairy, let you special summon from ticket. She the perfect combo piece for ticket!

This card can be searched by Messenger and Maid. So easy to search and recycle.

Run 2, as multiple copies cannot be used in a turn extra copies in hand can be dead. It's easy to search so 2 feels just right with me.

Till next time
