(Both Voices) Interesting. Easy Summon + limited immunity = good card. Shame it's easily crushed. 3.5/5 for the card, 4/5 for flavour text.

Merlin was a card I struggled with while creating. The Virtual theme needed more than four monsters, but the point of it was the combination of the four warriors from The Adventures of Leric. I remembered that the Leric trio of four was later joined by Merlin, a wizard who calculated his attacks flawlessly.

The only problem I have with Merlin's incarnation here is that Four Point Attack can be played using him, and not the four pictured monsters, but that's fine by me. Merlin gives an Immunity to a group of monsters that really want one. It's easy to summon, decent ATK/DEF for a Level One, and it's needed support for Leric's team. 4/5.
