Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 ———————————————— Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. During either player's turn, when a Spell Card is activated: You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. You must control this face-up card to activate and to resolve this effect. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Soul of the Duelist (SOD-EN008), Elemental Energy: Special Edition  (EEN-ENSE1), Dark Revelation Volume 3 (DR3-EN008), Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World Mega Pack (LCYW-EN199), Duelist League 17 (DL17-EN007)

There are many methods to assure our victory beyond staying aggresive. One of these routes is to negate effects, assuring the opponent wastes resources as well restricting their options. This is a common defensive option to deal with the opponent's turn as their setups and best summons are countered before is too late, giving us the upper hand once our turn starts over. However, some strategies goes a step further and tries to block as many cards as possible, completely shutting down entire groups of cards or even whole Decks with their mere pressence.

"Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" is the most famous of the LV series to the point of reaching a competitive status during its glory days, and still is a fearsome creature to face against. "LV8" is a nomi monster requiring the assistance of "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" to be summoned from our hand or Deck, which needs to defeat a monster to turn into their final form once the turn ends. "Horus" has a single yet completely dominant effect which allow us to negate the activation of Spell Cards, not completely restricting the usage but rather allow us to choose which cards to negate. So in other words, "Horus" main objective is to completely forbid the opponent from using their Spell Cards, and with the assistance of a few other cards we're capable to create an absolute lockdown on the opponent's Deck.

The summoning of "LV8" is far easier than might look, capable to bring its dominant effect far before the opponent is able to play any Spell Cards. Although "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" can be brought to the field with their base form "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4", "LV6" has no restrictions whatsoever to allow us to Tribute Summon it with cheap materials like Frogs or cheap summons like "Jester Confit". Not only that, but as a Dragon gains further assistance from cards like "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and "Hieratic Dragon King of Atum", and able to be easily revived afterwards gives us further opportunities to summon "LV8" as well the possibility to gather several copies on our field. With "LV6" having a protection against Spells the chances to defeat a monster in battle increases with further assistance of cards like "Enemy Controller" and "Shrink" dealing with strong enemies, but we can instead completely skip ahead and use "Level Up!" to summon "LV8" without risking our Battle Phase.

With the ability to negate any Spells' activation during any turn and of our choice, "LV8" will shut down all Spell Cards the opponent tries to play against us. Several staple cards like "Raigeki" and "Pot of Desires" as well important cards depending of the Deck's theme will become completely unusable as long "Horus" stays on our field. We can go a step further and shut down other cards to further limit the opponent's options, like "Royal Decree" negating all Trap Cards, cards like "Effect Veiler" and "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring" stopping certain monster effects, or "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" restricting Special Summons after the arrival of "LV8". Keep on mind that "Horus" won't negate Spell Cards that stayed active before its arrival like the case of Field Spells or Pendulum Monsters, so either try to have some removal effects or assure the opponent doesn't get a chance to use their abilities.

When comes to running a Deck arround the LV archetype, "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" becomes the primary choice to lead Duels with. It is with obvious reasons, as with a simple summoning condition and the ability to shut down the opponent's Spell Cards is a fearsome creature to face against. Even if the return of "Imperial Order" made it lost its luster due being a far easier card to play with, "Horus" freely allow us to play our Spell Cards along other effects further restricting the opponent's options. If anything the prominence of monster effects over Spell Cards in several Decks made negating the latter less efficient on the long run, but with the several effects and summoning tools "Horus" can easily play along allows it to create a lockdown strategy with a powerful LV monster leading the way through.

Personal Rating: A

+ Negates the activation of Spell Cards of our choice + Easy to summon + Several effects to work along and further restrict the opponent's options

- Relies on other cards for its summon - Spell Cards lost prevalence over Effect Monsters - "Imperial Order" might be a simpler option to deal with Spell Cards

Learning and growth require us to do things differently than we have in the past, and reinforcing the new means we must create fresh muscle memory. We will keep falling back into patterns from the past until we💥ingrain better into our modes of functioning. So, we choose and we practice: consciously. Ways of depth and #spirituality will be elusive, confusing, or seem like non-sense to those not yet ready for such ways and messages. This means that 💡people who have walked with us in parts of our journey - family, friends, lovers - may not be a match for us as we move through it all. When we resist this fact, we hold ourselves back. Yes, we can all become attached. What is so 🎯interesting, however, is that our own attachments tend to be about ✔️ how we 🤩choose to see someone or something (rather than who/how they really are). If the #universe is trying to put space between us and someone else - if conflict persists, and/or ugly actions keep surfacing - it is in 💫 our best interest to honor the #protection being offered through these warnings and step away. While always difficult when we care for someone and have shared fond memories, we are wise to see what is #real as opposed to what we hoped might happen with that one specific person or scenario. When we do decide to honor🕉Higher Wisdom, we allow room for options that are now truly aligned with us to arrive. ‘Tis the season to embrace the idea of Santa as the ♾benevolent Universe: always serving up the best of what we can🌀#imagine or hope for, as soon as we #choose to simply believe. ✨ #LV8 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIThMBmnMTz/?igshid=uemhwyvn4hdw

Magnificent Ones, let me just say that - among the range of transcendental experiences at the @drjoedispenza advanced event during the last week of Feb (BTW, you know transcendence by how it feels: and there is no way to know what you don’t know before it is experienced) - the transformative 💥power of these is simply unparalleled any other way. People try to reach it with plant medicine or 💫 being in the “zone” of extreme exercise, with some recreational drugs, or through sex & other means...the reality is that ♾this sole soul portal offers what none other can rival; and yet, everything in life is then also enhance by having walked through the door and being willing to do the practice “work” to keep that door open. Honestly, our remarkable body chemistry can produce it all ‘in house’ far better and safer than what we would potentially be inclined or encouraged to seek elsewhere. Funny, I even just caught parts of 🔥 Bradley Cooper’s “Limitless” - which I used to think was an astounding thing to aim for (without drug downside aspects, of course) - in the background on a flight this week & sorta laughed to myself about how flat that falls now. Wow. I am not exaggerating in the least. Rather, share this to encourage you (who are already primed toward conscious awareness & looking for the key) that it is available to ✔️ everyone who opts to become and stay ready. It is easy to start with the “Becoming Supernatural” book, although the 🗝immersion of an advanced event - after moving through his progressive & intensive videos offered 🌀 before going - has absolutely no substitute or equal in its swift outcomes from being immersed. If you want to change your life, health, attitude, outlook, future: do this for yourself. Do not wait. ✨ #LV8 #conscious #meditation #aware https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJHWqgnGkC/?igshid=1exlctqcuht4n

Loss can feel like the worst thing: an emptiness...lack of what once was a warm or cherished aspect. We are wise to pay attention to the vast💥difference between what was just familiar, or novel, and what is indeed actually a good fit for us. Such an absence - especially when its new removal is unexpected or does not otherwise seem timely or fair - can bring all types of turmoil and pain. Of course, this suffering is an act of resistance, and we can often release it almost instantly by 🌀letting go of expectations. But when we find that everything is💫connected; resulting responses can help reveal what asks to be healed in us at a deeper level (i.e. a childhood trauma) or what we need to be willing to 🗝 relinquish in order to allow for the next greater, better, or more fulfilling appearance of a person or experience in our life. We forget that everything is always shifting and changing. Our human condition would prefer to hold it all tightly and keep things in a place or way we can anticipate. Yet, if all of the outcomes were predictable, no room would exist for magic. If we 💡knew what waited around every turn, we would not be stimulated to learn or grow. So, we are challenged and encouraged to trust. In this trust, we also surrender to the current and to the flow. As a result, we are carried effortlessly to the place/experience that next opens us to the beauty & rich examples of love that nurture as well as comfort the heart and soul. ✨ #LV8 #consciousness #EVOLve https://www.instagram.com/p/CILU6p3HN00/?igshid=1wi1mdz1wlhro

Part of the #veil 💥 lifting involves our intuitive inclination to disengage from the “status quo” - which includes not watching news programming with our typical frequency, distance from those whose #vibes are not in sync with our own, committing to do inner rework to instill habits that groom our ongoing wellness, & opting not to automatically believe what we hear (no matter the source) if it does not gel with a sense of likely facts - in order to find a safe, serene, protected way through which we can receive true 💫 #guidance from the universe (some prefer to say #God ~ but these days I feel that is too limited or loaded of a term to truly incorporate all that the complete and diversified Source does entail). As 🕉 spiritual beings - energetic ♾ infinite souls - we are constantly bombarded with systematic sources of input that aim to keep us stuck and focused on the material. ✔️ This is what keeps capitalism and the money machine going. While there are some ‘practical’ elements to life and responsibilities, the best we can enjoy is to 🌀process them through the 🗝 lens of spiritual abundance...which #shifts & improves everything. Fear and discomfort can occur in the newness of change when we listen to others who have not yet oriented themselves in limitlessness, abundance, and acceptance. We each are on our own timelines toward that surrender, and 💡 judgment (toward ourselves or others) is not what this is about. It all comes down to conscious #awareness and the fact that 🌱 life becomes easier and more joyful once we realize how it ☯️ all truly functions. Yes, we are taught to honor our elders and/or those in seats of authority. We can listen with respect, even when we do not agree. This is part of how we #learn about each other & the myriad perspectives around us. Still, we each move and walk through an experience of existence based upon what/how we believe, which 👁 colors all we receive and process. So, we are #wise to stay open, listen & learn; yet turn our most receptive side to Higher Guidance that never fails: it contains no human lens except the 1 we impose. What are we doing today - #now - to nurture our utmost balance? ✨ #LV8 #intuition https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLpbgrnpxf/?igshid=1irs3gviqn84i
