We finish this week with one of the big warriors in the game: Gilford the Legend.
The fact that its a LV8 and a normal summon only, may turn you off but its effect more than makes up for it.
When this card hits the field, you can equip as many equip cards from your graveyard to your warrior-type monsters as possible. It doesn't matter if the equip card isn't warrior-specific. Its an equip, its going on one of your warriors if the S/T slot is avialable. As long your opponent hasn't Cursed Seal anything or doesn't have a Spell canceller on the field, any spell equips you lost will come back.
One of the obvious problems are getting the effect to go off. At LV 8 it means a double tribute and the odds off pulling that off are not that great. While in a warrior deck having the required tributes is that not diffiult due its ability to swarm, reducing your own numbers of monsters on the field voluntarily is not usually a favored tactic in duelist mindset.
Two ways of dealing with that is Cost down and Level conversion lab. 1 Cost down will get down to LV6 and 1 tribute easier to pay than two. The Lab can possible get down to no tribute required at all but its a trap and there's a slight chance you'll come up snake eyes and lose Gilford altogether.
Another problem is the effect itself in two respects. One, you want to get a good deal out of the effect. Just getting back a single equip may not be with worth the risk. You want to get the must bang for your buck. By the same token, you don't have a choice how many equips come back. If there's enough to fill up your S/T slots. Then all they'll get filled.
As such, watch how many equips hit your graveyard. Set traps or normal spells so that those slots don't stay filled when Gilford's effect goes through.
Best decktype obviously is the warrior decktype. Specifically one that has a good deal of equips. You want this card to hit the field so carry plenty of maurading captains, Warrior Lady of the Wasteland's. Or other methods of getting it on the field via Cost down, or level conversion lab.
Tradtional format? I don't think so. If I had to run a LV8 normal-summon only monster it sure wouldn't be this one. 1/5
In advance format, in the right warrior deck that exploits the effect, this card is a potential one hit kill.
