Explained
Discard another EARTH Fairy to Special Summon it from your hand, then add "Exchange of the Spirit" or a card that mentions it. As a Quick Effect, banish it from the field or GY to shuffle up to 3 cards from any GYs into the Deck (up to 5 with Exchange of the Spirit). Limited to 1 copy in the TCG.
In EARTH Fairy decks as an extender, searcher and GY disruption.
- Using the shuffle effect in the Damage Step.
How it works
- Ignition (from the hand): Discard 1 other EARTH Fairy monster; Special Summon this card, then add 1 “Exchange of the Spirit” or 1 card that mentions it from your Deck to your hand.
- Quick Effect (field or GY): Banish this card, then target up to 3 cards in any GYs, or up to 5 if “Exchange of the Spirit” is on your field or in your GY; shuffle them into the Deck.
Each effect is once per turn.
Status: Limited in the TCG (Sept 21, 2026 list), so you can run 1 copy.
Rulings in plain English
Summon effect: The discard is a cost. Summon first; only if it worked do you search. Not simultaneous.
Shuffle effect: Not in the Damage Step. The 3-or-5 limit is checked when you activate, counting cards in both GYs combined. If some targets leave the GY, the rest are still shuffled.
