Unshaven Angler

Unshaven Angler was originally released in the Japanese set Soul of the Duelist in 2004 before making its English debut in the 2006 compilation set Dark Revelation Volume 3. As a Water-attribute Fish-type monster, it was designed to support archetype-specific strategies by allowing the player to special summon a Level 3 or lower Fish-type monster from their hand. This ability served as a niche but functional utility card during the mid-2000s era of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

The card features an illustration of a rugged, bearded fisherman holding a glowing rod, designed to fit the watery aesthetic of the set's aquatic themes. Within the context of Dark Revelation Volume 3, a set primarily serving as a reprint repository for cards from earlier expansions, the Unshaven Angler was issued as a common rarity. It is regarded by collectors as a standard representative of the era's monster support cards, reflecting the game's shift toward rewarding specific monster-type synergies.
