On the surface, TACTICAL-TRY DECK Adelantado: Eldlich might not have the same immediate level of demand that the other two of the TACTICAL-TRY DECK series do. After all, those other decks feature a Yu-Gi-Oh TCG icon in Cyber End Dragon and a card benefiting from the “female character boost” in Evil★Twin’s Trouble Sunny respectively. However, that doesn’t mean that Eldlich the Golden Lord, TACTICAL-TRY DECK Adelantado: Eldlich’s only Ultra Rare card, should be overlooked by any means.

Like many of the cards in TACTICAL-TRY DECK Adelantado: Eldlich, this card was originally part of Deck Build Pack: Secret Slayers which was released in 2020. An earlier version of this card was that pack’s cover card.

The monster depicted on this card has made prior appearance in other Yu-Gi-Oh TCG card illustrations. Those cards include two others from Deck Build Pack: Secret Slayers—El Dorado Adelantado and Golde Land Forever!—as well as Seven Cities from Golden Land, a card from Blazing Vortex.

There’s also a stealth pun in this card’s illustration. The item on its chest is based on the golden spiral, a type of spiral with a width that increases by a factor of φ (the golden ratio) for every quarter-turn that it makes. Given the card’s many references to gold, this is very apt.

The version of this card from TACTICAL-TRY DECK: Adelantado: Eldlich is only out in Japanese. That said, this card’s earlier versions all have English translations.

A copy of an Eldlich the Golden Lord (TACTICAL-TRY DECK: Adelantado: Eldlich TT01-JPC01) card sells for 1,820 JPY (~US$12).
