King of the Swamp's 2 effects gives you versatility that is very useful on Fusion Decks. It lets you search Polymerization from your Deck or use it as a substitute to Fusion Material Monsters.

Recycling

Fusion Recycling Plant

Fusion Recovery

By using these cards you can get King of the Swamp that was used for Fusion from your Graveyard back to your Hand.

Fusion Monsters

Dark Paladin

Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman

These 2 cards are currently the two best Fusion Monsters in the game right now. Use King of the Swamp in decks the revolves around with these cards.

Elemental HERO Tempest

Elemental HERO Thunder Giant

You can also use King of the Swamp on Elemental-Hero decks since Elemental-Hero cards focuses on Fusion Summons.

One of the best cards ever. I use it as well as polymerization in a deck that also has invoked, because it has synergy with other fusions, and you can recycle the materials with Invocation, as well as searching for Poly with king of swamp, using this card as material for Invoked Cocytus

This card is sooo good and always will be. I recommend everyone to get 3 of them

it's very versatile for any fusion deck. even if you didnt use polymerization its a fusion substitute for anything

Awesome card but... it should be SR lol

This one should be a SR card n.n

Nah, it's definitely good enough to be UR. Fusion Sage, on the other hand, should have been SR or R from the get go.

I mean it has two effects, definitely UR considering you have many ways to poly or get poly

can't make E-hero Tempest...

Wish this card would be just a SR, it's not that great... it's even useful in farming decks.

Is there a card comming how is better for a fusion deck? Im really considering to buy this pack. But maybe it would be a waste if there will be a futue pack that would be better.

There is no other card that does what King of the Swamp does. (Be both a Polymerization and a Fusion sub.)

As just general Fusion support... I doubt we'll get anything that makes King of the Swamp obsolete any time soon. Unless they release Keeper of Dragonic Magic, but King's versatile enough that even that wouldn't likely make King of the Swamp not worth using.

Was this card erratad?
Because the text in the above picture does not contain the words "... whose name is specifically listed", while the additional text is present in the game version of the card and on sites like yugiohwiki.
It might seem like a small difference, but it's really not. It means that it can't replace a generic fusion material, only specific monster material listed on the fusion monster.

Fusion substitutes have always only been able to replace named materials. No wording change has ever changed the functionality of any of them.

Never in the history of the game have you been able to, for example, use King of the Swamp as one of the Dragons for Five-Headed Dragon, unless it's a Dragon-Type itself.

I think this one should be just a SR :v
