It looks like Konami is once again trying to bring Maxx “C” back to life in the Yu-Gi-Oh! <\/em>TCG, at least according to recent leaks of a card coming to Japan later this month. <\/p>
The new card is going by the name Mulcharmy Fuwaross for now, according to translations from YGOrganization<\/a> and the Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/a><\/em> community at large. If that Mulcharmy name\u2014or the nightmarish thought of another version of Maxx “C”\u2014sounds familiar, you’ve probably heard of the card Mulcharmy Purulia<\/a>, which arrived in Japan in April and is set to come to North America on July 19 with the release of The Infinite Forbidden<\/em>. <\/p>
Maxx “C” is one of the most controversial cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/em> history as a powerful hand trap that allows you to send it from your hand to the Graveyard and draw one card each time your opponent Special Summons a monster during that turn. The card is still legal in the OCG and Master Duel<\/a><\/em>, but it’s banned in the TCG<\/a>. So when Mulcharmy Purulia was initially revealed a couple of months ago, TCG players started to fear a Maxx “C” clone was on the way. <\/p>
Many Yu-Gi-Oh! <\/em>players immediately reacted to the Fuwaross leaks, including multi-time YCS champions and content creators Joshua Schmidt<\/a> and Jesse Kotton<\/a>. Kotton said Mulcharmy Fuwaross is “probably a candidate for best card of the year,” while Schmidt thinks<\/a> “this is a REALLY good card and I am like 60\/40 that its not a great idea, but I think its nowhere close to Maxx C.”<\/p>
“Yeah okay this one is just Maxx ‘C,'” Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/em> streamer and content creator Joseph “MBT” Rothschild said on Twitter\/X<\/a>. “This is completely crazy,” commentator Sebastian “Lampi” Lemke said<\/a>. “We thought the first Mulcharmy is the new Maxx ‘C.’ Instead this is it.” <\/p>
