Weaknesses:
Masked HERO Fountain is vulnerable against some cards and archetypes. Some cards can negate this effect monster’s second effect. Gravekeeper’s has a field spell to negate one of the options for the second effect.
For example, Skull Meister negates the second effect of Masked HERO Fountain. Skull Meister negates effects from the graveyard. It prevents this Masked HERO Fountain from setting Mask Change because Masked HERO Fountain must be sent the graveyard for the activation of his second effect. Therefore, an opponent may discard Skull Meister to negate the second effect of Masked HERO Fountain in the graveyard.
Necrovalley also weakens Masked HERO Fountain. This field spell from Gravekeeper’s negates effects with the ability to move cards from the graveyard. Therefore, this field spell prevents Masked HERO Fountain from placing Mask Change from the graveyard to the field. However, this effect monster can still set Mask Change from the deck to the field if the deck has an additional copy.
Card Rating:
Overall, Masked HERO Fountain is a staple for decks with Masked Heroes. This card enhances the strategy for the archetype. This effect monster adds consistency for the archetype’s fusion summons. He enables many combos with a variety of monsters such as Elemental HERO Stratos and Masked HERO Dusk Crow. Therefore, I recommend playing a full set of Masked HERO Fountain in your deck.
