Spirit Firefly: Unfortunately, use of this monster with Spirit Warder is kind of... I dunno, counter-productive? Since the restless monster is destroyed, then comes back, and then is still able to attack if I'm not mistaken owing to prior rulings on cards such as Giant Rat or Mystic Tomato. So in the end, you're ditching two cards per Restless monster.
Ahh...but the whole point with restless is to spam them from the graveyard as many times as possible. Say you just smashed a special summoned Weeping Maiden with Asura Priest for 3400 then flanked it with this to bring that same maiden back for another go, or hit your opponent's hand with revenant, or their deck with Avarice...twice. Get the idea? :3 But yeah, it remains a tad situational. Let's see what we can do about that.
Disgraced Emperor: And now we have the king of the Restless. Unfortunately, he suffers from "too quick, too little" syndrome- not enough burn per destroyed card, especially considering the trend of commiting as little as possible to the field until you make the final push, and afterwards he becomes a 2600 Atk fighter for your opponent for free. AND he's eight-star, so you can't use him yourself.
Well, with the mid-format banlist change, that kind of conservation has become a tad harder, really. (hinging our whole winning strike on a single copy of Return? Not likely.) Plus, most recursion methods these days stay on the field to work their magic (Premature, Escape, D.D.R. etc.), meaning that you hit both the recursion card and the recurred monster in one strike. (that's already 1200 burn)
Starving Ghoul: Screwing with graveyards, yay! Unfortunately, he's a bit... well, let's just say that the Parasite Demons are pwning this set left and right because they go from the hand to the opponent's field. FROM THE HAND. Meaning that you get to transfer negative effects right away, as opposed to needing special support to do it.
In a way, yes, but there's a difference. The parasite effects are all slow grind, hinging either on your opponent's actions or only triggering once a turn, meaning that you have to keep them on your opponent's field for at least a turn before reaping any significant benefits. The restless, on the other hand, are all about being blown up again and again, most of them only landing a big, one-shot effect before they go bye-bye.
Vindictive Soul: One card per turn? Would be harsh, if you had more to wall with than Spirit Warder, who goes through your hand incredibly quickly. Seriously, it's either miss bringing back a Restless monster and re-using its effect, or losing an additional card from your hand and losing them until you want to stop bringing back the dang Restless. Seriously, poor Warder.
Mmhmm...I was looking to make a more user-friendly restless to stand alongside the warrior, but I do get the point. Maybe up the destruction to two cards each turn?
Curse of Return: Once again- Counterproductive with Spirit Warder, but makes it possible to transfer Restless monsters.
Counter-productivity thing already addressed above. This card pretty much sums up what the set is about, you know. xD
Spirit's Possession: Demon Fusion Lite. The problem is the same thing that happens with Black Horn of Heaven: Cyber Dragon and Dark Armed Dragon are feasible targets, and possibly Dark Grepher, but that's about it. Yeah, problematic.
Umm...pardon me if I missed something, but what happened to Premature Burial, Monster Reborn, D.D.R., Dasher, and all those other special summon methods? Everything just mentioned works equally well for Spirit's Possession, and if what you drop down there is the emperor, that could mean one seriously screwed up rush for your opponent. ;D
Oh dear, looks like it's revamp time again. :x
