You’ve got to be shitting me.
The second RANDOMLY SELECTED card of the day 2026 is none other than Ka, the airborne counterpart to the previous day’s Pewku . I can’t even pin this on some unknown technical quirk of my implementation that causes consecutive days to land on consecutive cards (which shouldn’t happen, supposedly CRC32C is pretty convincingly random), because it picked the movie-style artwork that has an entirely different ID.
If this repeats and tomorrow is, I don’t know, Washed and Chilled , I may as well exit the simulation. But while I’m still here, there are actually some interesting details to note about this one that weren’t covered on release.
Ka, Avohkii-Bearing Rahi
Link Effect MonsterLink-2 [↙ ↘] | WIND Winged Beast | ATK 19002 monsters with different Attributes
If this card is Special Summoned: You can reveal 1 “Great Kanohi Avohkii” or 1 Beast or Winged Beast “Rahi” monster in your hand, then activate 1 of these effects;
● Draw 1 card. ● Destroy up to 2 cards on the field, including a card you control.
If this Link Summoned card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target up to 2 Level 4 “Avohkii” monsters with different names in your GY; Special Summon them. You can only use each effect of “Ka, Avohkii-Bearing Rahi” once per turn.
First, the materials – 2 monsters with different Attributes. This is, surprisingly, not a combination that has ever been printed, unlike different Types or different names. I landed on it specifically because the Avohkii deck has a fairly wide Attribute spread (Jaller FIRE, Takua LIGHT, Pewku EARTH, Graalok WIND), while the Rahi decks that are also meant to get use out of this card usually put out some combination of EARTH, WIND, and occasional other Attributes.
Second, the effect on Summon. The idea of what it does remained consistent throughout development, but other than that it actually has quite a history. Once upon a time, in the earliest draft stage, it was two trigger effects – one on Summon that revealed the Avohkii or a Rahi to draw, and one on reveal of an Avohkii in hand that destroyed cards. Due to text length concerns and some uncertainty of whether or not searching an Avohkii and revealing it for confirmation would trigger that second condition, they were merged into something modular, with the benefit of Rahi now also getting to wield it as removal. For a while later on, the combined effect was still written to trigger again if your opponent Summons a monster, so you could also end on it as a piece of disruption. This was scrapped because it already provided enough value as a combo/toolbox piece, and you can get disruption out of it regardless if you’re clever about Special Summoning it with other effects .
Finally, the floating effect that is exclusive to the Avohkii deck, representing the crash in Ko-Wahi after which Jaller and Takua continue on foot. I briefly had plans to let you only bring back both of them if your opponent had a monster on field, and otherwise you’d have to pick one and shuffle the other back into the Deck – as a nod to their parting soon after. But that too was scrapped due to length, plus the fairly specific targets and needing to be properly Link Summoned are probably restrictions enough to justify the full refund on materials here.
So yeah, now you know all there is to know. Maybe a future card block overhaul will include a space to include trivia notes like these with each card when viewing them on the site, that might be fun to have.
