Number 50: Blackship of Corn

Number 50: Blackship of Corn was released as a promotional card included with the second volume of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga series. Its introduction was part of a larger initiative to bridge the narrative of the manga with the physical card game, featuring monsters that appeared in the serialized adventures of Yuma Tsukumo. As an Xyz Monster, it represents the core mechanics of the ZEXAL era, which emphasized the overlaying of monsters to summon powerful entities capable of shifting the momentum of a duel.

The card was designed as a Rank 4 monster with a focused effect designed to remove problematic monsters from the opponent's field without triggering destruction-based effects. The artwork reflects the nautical, aggressive aesthetic common to the Number archetype, aiming for a distinct presence on the game board. Upon its release, it became a staple in competitive play for its versatility and reliability in clearing defenses, cementing its status as a sought-after utility card among enthusiasts of the format.
