If this face-up card you control leaves the field because of an opponent's card effect: You can add 1 “Omega Summon” from your Deck to your hand.
"Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is the newest support card for "Invoked" archtype. This card is exatcly what "Invoked" archtype needed in Link Era. "Invoked" were played in different kinds of Deck and with other engines. "Invoked" was almost always used as engine. They were played in "True Draco", "Burning Abyss", "Windwitch - Spellbook - Artifact" and other Decks.
"Aleister the Invoker of Madness" needs 2 monsters with different Types and Attributes" for it's Link Summon. It can be easily summoned in Decks like "Fur Hire", "Kozmo", "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Magician", "Zombie - Lightsworn", "Shaddoll - Dinosaur" and many other.
"Aleister the Invoker of Madness" becomes "Aleister the Invoker" while on it's on the field or in the GY what is good because you can use it for Fusion Summon of any "Invoked" monster. When a Fusion Monster is Fusion Summoned: You can also discard 1 card to add 1 "Invocation", "The Book of the Law" from your Deck. This part of effect is quite similar to the effect of "Aleister the Invoker". "The Book of the Law" is Quick-Play Spell Card which allows player to Summon 1 "Invoked" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck.
"The Book of the Law" can be activated at any moment what can a problem for player's opponent. Let me show you one possible situation:

4.
5.
Player can enter the Battle Phase and activate "The Book of the Law" at any moment they want to Summon "Invoked Mechaba" or any other "Invoked" Fusion Monster.
valkyrie
Valkyrie brunhilde
Attribute: LIGHT
Type: Fairy/Effect
ATK : 1800
DEF : 2000
LEVEL : 7
Effect: Unaffected by your opponent’s Spell effects. Gains 500 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. When an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can have this card lose exactly 1000 DEF, and if you do, your “Valkyrie” monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES
Type: Spell Card
Effect: Special Summon any number of “Valkyrie” monsters with different names from your hand. If you Special Summoned 3 or more monsters with this effect, you take no battle damage until the end of the next turn. During the End Phase of the turn you activated this card, shuffle all monsters you control into the Deck. You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 “Mischief of the Time Goddess” from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of “Ride of the Valkyries” once per turn.
Mischief of the Time Goddess
Type: Spell Card/ Quick-Play
Effect: Neither player can activate cards or effects in response to this card’s activation. Cannot be activated as Chain Link 2 or higher. At the end of your Battle Phase, if all monsters you control are “Valkyrie” monsters (min. 1): Send this card to the GY, also, immediately after this effect resolves, skip to the start of the Battle Phase of your next turn. If you do, you cannot activate “Mischief of the Time Goddess” until the end of that turn.
If you liked that "Aleister" card then you don't know what is the real thing. Read about Valkyries. That's the right stuff for you.
"Valkyrie" cards have some really special effects. Fans of Zigfried von Schroeder were waiting for these cards so long. Now they came to TCG. Some Zigfried's iconic cards are "Mischief of the Time Goddess", "Ride of the Valkyries" and "Valkyrie Brunhilde".
Let's start with "Valkyrie Brunhilde". It's one of 4 "Valkyrie" monsters and only Level 7 monster amongst them. This card is unaffected by opponent's Spell effects like "Dark Hole", "Raigeki", "Interrupted Kaiju Slumber" and many other cards. You can Special Summon this card using "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen", "Monster Reborn", "Chronograph Sorcerer" etc. It gains 500 ATK for each monster your opponent controls also, you make that card lose 1000 DEF to protect your "Valkyrie" monsters from being destroyed by battle.
"Mischief of the Time Goddess" and "Ride of the Valkyries" are also 2 very important cards for "Valkyrie" Deck. "Ride of the Valkyries" is like Pendulum Summon for "Valkyrie" monsters without using Pendulum Monsters. "Ride of the Valkyries" works great with "Mischief of the Time Goddess". You can send "Ride of the Valkyries" to the GY (Graveyard) using "Foolish Burial Goods" Spell Card then remove it from play to add 1"Mischief of the Time Goddes" from your Deck to your hand. Then you can activate another "Ride of the Valkyries" from your hand and if you Summoned 3 or more "Valkyrie" monsters using this card, you won't take Battle Damage until the end of your next turn also, you can activate "Mischief of the Time Goddess" you added before during the Battle Phase to enter another Battle Phase.
Other "Goddess" and "Valkyrie" cards are very useful too and you can also combine them pretty well with "Ride of the Valkyries", "Mischief of the Time Goddess" and "Valkyrie Brunhilde".
NINJA
HIDDEN VILLAGE Of NINJITSU ARTs
Type: Spell Card/ Field
Effect: If a “Ninja” monster is Summoned to your field: You can target 1 “Ninja” monster or 1 “Ninjitsu Art” card in your GY; add it to your hand, but you cannot activate cards, or the effects of cards, with that name for the rest of this turn. If a “Ninja” monster(s) or “Ninjitsu Art” card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or an opponent’s card effect, you can banish 1 “Ninja” monster from your GY instead. You can only use each effect of “Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts” once per turn.
NINJA GRANDMASTER SAIZO
Attribute: LIGHT
Type: Warrior/Link/Effect
ATK : 2000
LINK: -2
Summon Materials: 2 "Ninja" monsters
Effect: During your Main Phase: You can Set 1 “Ninjitsu Art” Spell/Trap directly from your Deck. You can only use this effect of “Ninja Grandmaster Saizo” once per turn. While this card points to a monster(s), this card cannot be targeted for an attack, also your opponent cannot target it with card effects.
NINJITSU ART OF MIRAGE-TRANSFORMATION
Type: Trap Card/ Continuous
Effect: Tribute 1 “Ninja” monster, then target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon it to your field. It is also treated as a “Ninja” monster while this card is face-up on the field. When this card leaves the field, send that monster to the GY you can only activate 1 “Ninjitsu Art of Mirage-Transformation” per turn.
Shadows in Valhalla also brings new cards for "Ninja" archtype. Now players can use "Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo" and other "Ninja" cards more effectively.
"Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts" is the newest Field Spell Card for "Ninja" monsters. When you Summon 1 of your "Ninja" monsters this card allows you to return 1 "Ninja" or "Ninjitsu Art" card from your GY (Graveyard) to your hand. That means you can return some cards like "Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo", "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo", any "Dragon Ninja", "Twilight Ninja" or "Ninjitsu Art" card also, you can add "Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts". "Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts" also protect your "Ninja" monsters from destruction by battle or card effect by banishing 1 "Ninja" monster from your GY (Graveyard).
We have then "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo" Link Monster specifically made for "Ninja" monsters. "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo" has 2 very powerful effects. It allows you to Set any "Ninjitsu Art" Spell or Trap Card from your Deck directly into your Spell/Trap Card Zone without any cost. "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo" can make a great synergy with "Mekk-Knight" monster if you Set "Ninjitsu Art" in the same column where is "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo". Your opponent cannot target this card for attack or with card effects if "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo" points to a monster. What makes him well protected.
"Ninjitsu Art of Mirage-Transformation" is another great card for "Ninja" archtype. It's effect sounds familiar to "Monster Reborn" but, you need to Tribute 1 "Ninja" monster. "Ninjitsu Art of Mirage-Transformation" is great because you can revive some really great monsters from your opponent's GY (Graveyard) like "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon", "Invoked Mechaba", "Ultimate Conductor Tyranno", many different Link Monsters, "Cyber Dragon Infinity" etc.
"Hidden Village of Ninjitsu Arts", "Ninja Grandmaster Saizo" and "Ninjitsu Art of Mirage-Transformation" have opened the door to a lot of possibilities.
