Ghoulish Despoiler

It is the right of the strong to invade without abandon.

[AUTO](VC):When placed, COST [Counter Blast (1)], Soul Charge (2), and return up to one grade 2 or less card from your soul to your hand.
[AUTO](VC):When it attacks a vanguard, if you have ten or more cards in your soul, choose one of your opponent’s rear-guards, retire it, and this unit gets [Power]+10000 until end of that battle.

Ghoulish Despoiler is one of the few original cards from Unite Team Q4. He is a Dark Irregular with the imaginary gift Protect! I really like his artwork. The art is clean and has a lot of fine details. Ghoulish Despoiler is ready to spoil your opponent’s hopes of victory!

Ghoulish Despoiler’s first skill soul charges two cards and draws a grade 2 or less card from the soul. This skill is great for building the soul. It is also an amazing skill to use the soul as a resource for cards. You can draw a Perfect Guard or a potential rear-guard from the soul. I would draw a grade 2 card from the soul because I will draw a Protect marker after riding my vanguard.

This strategy is very effective against Accel clans such as Aqua Force, Nova Grappler, and Pale Moon.
