ygoreviews:Rescue Cat————————————————You can send this card to the Graveyard; Special Summon 2 Level 3 or lower Beast-Type monsters from your Deck, but they have their effects negated, also they are destroyed during the End Phase. You can only use this effect of “Rescue Cat” once per turn.————————————————Can Be Found In: Flaming Eternity (FET-EN033), Dark Revelation Volume 3 (DR3-EN153), Champion Pack: Game Five (CP05-EN015), Turbo Pack: Booster One (TU01-EN008), Turbo Pack: Booster Three (TU03-EN002), Duelist Saga (DUSA-EN072)Compared to the first years, nowadays is not that rare to see many Decks able to summon several monsters at once right from their first turn. With so many Special Summon options to the point where Normal Summons aren’t that valuable, a single card effect is caable to gather various monsters for all kinds of purposes. From working as materials for bigger monsters or certain setups to simply overwhelm the Battle Phase, even if the opponent has few cards at their disposition we must avoid letting our guard down as they can easily swarm their field with a single card.“Rescue Cat” was a quite popular choice right from its debut due its powerful combo potential and ability to cheapen Extra Deck summons, to the point that was banned for several years. After several counterparts taking its position and the current decision of weakening banned cards’ effects “Rescue Cat” finally made a return, and although with some restrictions is still a very useful tool to gather monsters with. “Rescue Cat” can be sent to the Graveyard from our field to in return summon two Level 3 and below Beasts monsters from our Deck, but they’ll be destroyed during the End Phase. In recent reprints of this monster made the summoned Beasts to have their effects negated as well only able to use the effect of “Rescue Cat” once per turn as a very common clause nowadays, completely shutting down all the exploit that was known for during its glory days. But even if the current “Rescue Cat” lost the powerful combos arround cards like “Uniflora, Mystical Beast of the Forest” and the banned “Last Will” specially due its limited status in the TCG, is still a highly valuable card to use each turn to gather Beasts for any purposes required.When comes to support “Rescue Cat” is in a decent position to become available as soon as possible. The most popular choice for several years is working along “Summoner Monk”, as can summon “Rescue Cat” from the Deck to then work along the two Beasts we will bring out afterwards. “Emerging Emergency Rescute Rescue” is a slower alternative, but is designed to work along the rest of the Rescue archetype which also focuses on summoning monsters by their effects. But “Rescue Cat” will truly stand out once lands in the Graveyard, as will be constantly revived each turn by either cards like “Limit Reverse” and “Call of the Haunted”, or monsters such as “Debris Dragon” using it later on as material by working together.While “Rescue Cat” seems quite limited to the number of monsters it can summon, is actually a highly valuable effect for all sorts of Decks arround this Type. Obviously we can use the summoned Beasts for Extra Deck purposes, and if we summoned “Rescue Cat” with “Summoner Monk” the bigger the setup will become. The most popular choice is arround X-Saber Decks, bringing copies of “X-Saber Airbellum” to use them for a Synchro Summon as well meet the requeriments of “XX-Saber Faultroll”. Ojama Decks and other strategies with Beasts below Level 2 welcomes “Rescue Cat” to gather its monsters, as in combination with “Obedience Schooled” they can completely fill the field with their members and even defeat the opponent in combination of stat boosts such as “Milus Radiant” or “Missus Radiant”. A more obscure strategy is using “Rescue Cat” to summon “Moja”, a little monster that will let us summon “King of the Beasts” from the hand or Graveyard as well able to retrieve “Rescue Cat” if destroyed instead.The current “Rescue Cat” might not have the powerful exploits that was known for, ranging from abusing its effect consecutive times to assisting builds like Gladiator Beasts considerably. However, “Rescue Cat” is still a very powerful card despite its weakened reprints, and many of its original goals still remain nowadays. Beast builds and certain archetypes like X-Saber and Ojama still welcomes the help “Rescue Cat” provides, and if anything is still a valuable card to start Duels with an Extra Deck summon. And despite its limited status and once per turn clause, “Rescue Cat” is greatly assisted in late game to keep gaining its assistance each turn by many revival effects. Sure that “Rescue Cat” lost prevalence over many other options available nowadays, but is still a powerful card to work arround its possibilities.Personal Rating: A+ Summons two Beasts from the Deck by being sent to the Graveyard+ Very useful arround various setups and gathering materials+ Well supported specially by revival effects- The summoned Beasts will be destroyed at the End Phase- Overshadowed by less restricted options -- source link
