Fairies have many powerful monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!. One of these powerful fairies is Protecting Spirit Loagaeth. She has decent stats of 2,400 ATK and 2,100 DEF. Her effects truly shine and increase the usability of this effect monster. This effect monster protects your other monsters and can banish the opponent’s cards. She may also easily special summon herself to the field without a cost or tribute.
First Effect:
Protecting Spirit Loagaeth prevents one monster from being destroyed by battle until the end of the turn if this effect monster is destroyed by battle or a card’s effect. This effect does not have any limitations. You may grant the protection to any monster on the field.
Furthermore, the protection from Protecting Spirit Loagaeth is a useful effect. You can protect another one of your monsters. This effect helps you to maintain at least one monster on the field.
However, an opponent can counter this effect. An opponent may banish Protecting Spirit Loagaeth with a card such as Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of The Beginning. This effect monster will not be able to activate her effect of protection.
Second Effect:
Protecting Spirit Loagaeth special summons herself from the hand if you activate the effect of your fairy monster. This effect has an easy requirement, and you can consistently activate this effect. It does not have a cost. You gain a free level seven monster with 2,400 ATK.
Furthermore, this effect may set up XYZ summons and Link summons. Protecting Spirit Loagaeth is a level seven monster and Yu-Gi-Oh! has many powerful ranked seven XYZ monsters. You may use this effect monster as material.
Third Effect:
Protecting Spirit Loagaeth may change your monster in attack position to defense position and banish an opponent’s card. This effect is an effective method to banish an opponent’s card. This effect targets monsters, spells, and traps. You only need another fairy on the field in attack position. The cost of change another monster’s position to defense position is a low cost. You can consistently activate this effect each turn.
Therefore, Protecting Spirit Loagaeth becomes a problem solver. She can banish your opponent’s best cards from the duel. The opponent may have a powerful monster such as Scarred Dragon Archfiend with higher ATK than this effect monster. Protecting Spirit Loagaeth may easily banish this monster from the field, and the opponent loses a good card.
In addition, Protecting Spirit Loagaeth prevents the activation of effects when monsters go to the graveyard. This strategy is a good advantage against opponents. This effect monster banishes those monsters, and they never go tot he graveyard. They are unable to activate their effect. For example, Scarred Dragon Archfiend cannot activate its second effect and third effect because this fairy banishes Scarred Dragon Archfiend.
Furthermore, Protecting Spirit Loagaeth can banish monsters with the effect of they cannot be destroyed by battle or a card’s effect. The effect of a monster cannot be destroy by battle or a card’s effect is unable to protect monsters from this fairy. For example, Protecting Spirit Loagaeth may banish a powerful monster such as Evil HERO Malicious Bane from the field.
