Recette de Personnel (Staff Recipe)

Recette de Personnel, known in English as Staff Recipe, was introduced in the Wild Survivors booster set, released in 2023. This card serves as a key piece of support for the Nouvelles archetype, a unique strategy centered around a culinary-themed motif where monsters are Tributed to summon higher-level counterparts. The design philosophy draws heavily from the aesthetic of high-end dining and kitchen management, fitting the theme of the Nouvelles deck that transforms the act of playing cards into a theatrical culinary experience.

The card was illustrated with a whimsical, storybook-inspired style typical of the Nouvelles series, which aims to evoke the feeling of a refined bistro. As a trap card, it provides essential search capabilities to stabilize the deck's complex summoning requirements. Upon its release, the set was well-received by players who appreciated the inventive, non-traditional mechanics of the Nouvelles monsters, with Staff Recipe serving as a reliable utility card to maintain consistency during high-stakes duels.
