IOC-092 Stray Lambs

This week is underrated and underplayed card week, and to start it off, we have the lovable Stray Lambs.

Stray Lambs
Normal Spell
When you activate this card, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon or Special Summon during this

turn. Special Summon 2 "Lamb Tokens" (Beast-Type/EARTH/1 Star/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position

on your side of the field.

Ahh, the lambs, the Tribute-able Lambs. This card, in my opinion, is rather potent if played

masterfully, like playing it, then sacrificing both goats to a face-down monster, like The

Creator, Dark Magician of Chaos (be sure he doesn't get attacked), Guardian Angel Joan, Invader

of Darkness, Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, Barrel Dragon, Emes the Infinity, etc.

Also works as a last ditch defense.

Overall, I give it a 4/5.

First off, congratulation to Chaosruler earning the job for the reviews this week. Good on ya! ;)

Now to the card. An yes, the Scapegoat cousin. I love Stray Lambs. Chaosruler already mentioned my favorite use for the card, activate this and drop a powerful 2 tribute monster in defense mode. You could also set a good 1 tribute monster and use the other stray token (pun fully intended) at a later turn, if it's still around. And it's Beast-type, so that might help.

I like it cause they're able to be tributed, it can be activated even if you have 2 monsters on the field (where Scapegoat cannot), and it still aids in stalling or tribute heavy decks. Just watch for trample!

If only it were quickplay.

3.75 / 5
 
Agreed, I remember trying stray lambs out in my deck the day that IOC was released at my first regionals. It was useful cause I played Mystical Knight of Jackal. Can run great when its played right. But when used to set a monster your opponent will be itching for that nobleman.
