Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar 2 Box of Friends

The second card is a present with toys inside.  Box of friends is an effect monster with no attack or defense points, which upon destruction can summon 2 different normal monsters with one of their stats being 0.  They are destroyed at the end of the turn.  This can be used to set up a 2 monster XYZ summon for up to rank 6.  It actually has a XYZ monster paired with it called Princess Cologne who revives it and can replace normal monsters when they get destroyed.  There is also four pendulum monsters that might be able to be summoned by it, two Dracos, a Metalfoes and an Igknight monster.  You can also use it to get temporary shields up at either 3000 Def or 2500 Atk.  A good card, mainly for XYZ summoning, and thank you to Hill and Knowlton Strategies and Konami for getting us the Advent Calendar.

Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar 1 Ceremonial Bell

The first card of the set turns out to be a church tower bell.  A super rare Ceremonial Bell, a 3 star monster with decent defense that keeps both hands revealed.  Since they are already revealed the players will not be able to use effects of cards like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, or the Danger! archetype.  There are also cards that allow you to guess what cards are in your opponents hand like Mind Crush, and ones that let you discard a card from their hand and activate other effects when those cards meet certain requirements like Thestalos the Mega Monarch.  It seems pretty good if you can keep it alive.  Thank you to Hill and Knowlton Strategies and Konami for sending us this set.
