At long last, the Duel Terminals are coming to the United States! And with them, TCG players are surely anticipating a variety of new archetypes – “X-Sabers” have already been released, but “Mist Valley”, “Genex”, and “Flamvell” monsters have not. The only other archetype at all represented in English are the “Allies of Justice” with a contribution of precisely one card, which may seem small. However, “Ally of Justice Catastor”, the first of these machines to invade the TCG, may be the best one. Date: July 7, 2009

| Summary
| - At long last, the Duel Terminals are coming to the United States! And with them, TCG players are surely anticipating a variety of new archetypes – “X-Sabers” have already been released, but “Mist Valley”, “Genex”, and “Flamvell” monsters have not. The only other archetype at all represented in English are the “Allies of Justice” with a contribution of precisely one card, which may seem small. However, “Ally of Justice Catastor”, the first of these machines to invade the TCG, may be the best one.
"Catastor's" stats are fairly mediocre; 2200 ATK for a level 5 Synchro. However, its effect means that it can be splashed easily into every deck with any sort of access to a Tuner monster, because if it battles a face-up non-DARK monster, the monster is automatically destroyed – before damage calculation. As opposed to problem solvers such as “D.D. Warrior Lady”, which will cause you battle damage if rammed into your opponent's monster, Catastor simply gets rid of it. Not DARK? Okay – boom! This means it can easily take down more powerful monsters, such as “Judgment Dragon”, “Gladiator Beast Heraklinos”, or “Goyo Guardian”.
But only using it to remove a big monster is a waste of its talent. You can take out useful searchers such as “Giant Rat”, “Pyramid Turtle”, and “Nova Summoner”, because their effects will not activate when you destroy them with this effect. Furthermore, its effect doesn't only activate when it attacks, so it can become an incredible wall. To be really mean, combine it with “Battle Mania” to wipe your opponent's field clean of monsters! Besides this, its level makes it especially easy to summon. You can use anything from “Junk Synchron” to “Deep Sea Diva” to bring out the Ally.
The main reason that Catastor is better than the other “Allies of Justice” is because their effects are specifically aimed at LIGHT monsters. This machine doesn't have that specificity, so with its ease of summoning and super-powered effect, expect to see “Ally of Justice Catastor” in practically any and every extra deck, very soon!
