Few cards have played as big a role in the multiple Yu-Gi-Oh! meta conversation as Maxx "C." And now, Konami may have finally decided to print another version of the roach to counter its overuse in certain parts of the deck.
Yu-Gi-Oh cards like Maxx "C"
Multchummy Purulia is a new Level Four Water Monster that was recently shown off for the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! set The Infinite Forbidden, which isn’t releasing in the TCG until July. That’s not a huge deal in this case, though, as this card is more important to the Japanese OCG format in terms of how it relates to the Yu-Gi-Oh! meta deck Maxx “C”—which has been banned in the TCG since February 2018.
Maxx "C" is a one-card advantage engine, as this Monster lets you toss it from your hand to the Graveyard (GY) in exchange for drawing a card every time your opponent Special Summons a Monster of their own. In modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, having this card in your hand puts your opponent on a timer, as they must either strategically shorten their combos or risk giving you more card advantage for the clap back if they can't finish the duel.
So, while the card is banned in the TCG, it's completely legal in OCG play and Master Duel, meaning you'll almost always be dealing with Maxx "C." The card's usage has only increased since Master Duel was released, almost always sitting at over 90 percent usage in decks at the highest levels of digital play – rivaled only by Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. That's partly why so many players are interested in Multchummy Purulia.
