Photon Veil
Group: Spell Card
Type: Spell
Shuffle 3 LIGHT monsters from your hand into the Deck, then add 1 to 3 Level 4 or lower LIGHT monsters from your Deck to your hand. If you add 2 or more monsters, they must have the same name.

Fetch 3 thunder king riaoh! The light decktype did get a boost, why don't we see this in agents, or other deck types? This card was hyped but the hype died down.

It was hyped when we thought it said shuffle 2 Light Monsters into the deck, the moment Shriek revised the translation to say 3 all hype died down. Card's a -1 at best, and there's no Lights worth grabbing with this card. Even 3 Rai-Oh just doesn't sound like a good idea.

Main this in Agent, activate Veil, grab 3 Shine Balls! lol. I'm just kidding.

I don't know, it's a -1 card, and it won't fetch you any gamebreaking card. And to main this card means you have to main a lot of playsets of Light monsters. 3 Rai-Oh? Not really bad (although Inzektor will make Rai-Oh less useful), 3 Veiler? Sure. And? 3 DDWL? No. 3 CyDra? No. 3 Earth/Venus? No. 3 Hyperion? No. 3 Herald of Orange Light? No. 3 Shine Balls? yeah, Shine Balls the best target for time being.

It's LV4 or lower. You can't get 3 Hyperion/3 CyDra.

If you could just grab any Light, this card would be alright, potentially. The ability to grab 3 JD just like that is an interesting one.

It can get 3 TKR, but realistically, it will only see main deck play in Photons, Watts, or Fabled.

I main 2 in my Fabled deck where it can lead to putting game on board and instant PoA, after searching 3 Grimro.

Hey opponent, I have 5 cards in my hand. 3 of them are Veilers.

Not very threatening.

I don't know why this card ever recieved hype. I am sure it can be ok in some decks given the right future support. But the only way this card would be broken is if Honest went back to 3.

The very first time I read it, it was a 1 for 1 that could search out helpful targets. Now that its a -1 one it feels like a complete waste to play

Why did they make this an Ultra Rare?

I remember Kevin saying something on Pojo about 7 cards in that set getting rarity bumps, just because they felt like doing it basically. This was one of those that got bumped, but in all honesty should have stayed a common, it has the same value either way.

Photon Lead should have swapped rarities with this card. I would have made Zenmailfunction an Ultra Rare and Xyz Gift a Common.
