I don't think I could have picked a shorter time span between talking about a card and when it would be released. However, considering we're getting the card actually before it's "original intended release", well, that amuses me. Since I was just talking about it, let's look a bit more into it.
Expressroid
Earth/Machine/4/400/1600
When this card is successfully Summoned, you can add 2 "roid" monsters from your Graveyard to your hand except for "Expressroid".
Where From: Gladiator's Assault
TCG Release: Syrus Truesdale Starter Deck
As I mentioned in the original thread, this card will get its effect no matter how it is summoned (Normal, Special, or Flip). However it is optional so you don't have to use the effect.
Expressroid is a solid anchor and support card for the Roid theme. His stats are not the best, but that's not why you'll be using him anyway. Expressroid allows you to recycle other Roid monsters back to your hand. For those of you who only care for the numbers, yes he is a +1 for you. While you can't return another Expressroid with this effect, any other one is fair game. In turn, this gives you a greater variety of support options you can use whether to summon the monsters you retrieved or to use them as discards for non-theme (yet still good) cards such as Snipe Hunter. The only catch is that you must have at least 2 Roid Monsters in your Graveyard, otherwise you cannot activate his effect.
3 out of 5 in a Roid themed deck. With the Gladiator's Assault cards combined with the original batch in Power of the Duelist (and whatever else that might be new in the Syrus Starter Deck), the Roid theme is a vastly underrated, yet perfectly solid deck type. They have a Draw Card, a Stall Card, a card that has the ability to activate Trap Cards from your hand (one of the few that isn't banned), and thanks to Expressroid, an all around recycler for the monsters. Definitely worth a look for people who want try playing with a very subtly strong deck type.
