Wikia

While this card's random discard cost can be a drawback, the fact that it can be activated as soon as it's played, and multiple times while it remains face-up on the field (e.g., if a special-summoned monster is returned to the field by an effect such as "Interdimensional Matter Transporter"), often makes this card more useful than other anti-special summon cards such as "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo". In general, "Jowgen" is a better choice in decks that rely on combos that have to be executed in a single turn. The fact that your opponent can't force the activation of "Jowgen's" effect can also be helpful, guaranteeing that it will activate at the most advantageous time.
- "Jowgen" is also a superior choice in decks that have heavy LIGHT and/or Spellcaster support, letting you use cards such as Honest to maximize its effectiveness.

While possessing low ATK and DEF values, "Jowgen the Spiritualist" is a very powerful card at destroying monsters on the field and preventing Special Summoning monsters. All higher forms of "LV" monster are considered Special Summons, preventing your opponent from going any higher than the base monster's Level. "Jowgen" can also prevent use of cards like "Monster Reborn" and "Call of the Haunted" by preventing Special Summoning.
- You can also use "Jowgen" to keep your opponent from activating the effects of "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness", "Tragoedia", and "Battle Fader", significantly increasing the likelihood of dealing your opponent a game-ending blow.

You can also combine this card with "Ultimate Offering" and "Mysterious Puppeteer". You will be allowed to perform multiple Normal Summons and/or Sets in one turn so that you can summon your more powerful monsters without losing Life Points from the cost of "Ultimate Offering". Meanwhile, your opponent will have no choice but to only Normal Summon or Set one monster per turn.

Traditional FormatEdit

This card can be searched by "Sangan", "Last Will" and "Witch of the Black Forest".

In addition to this, if you have "Jowgen the Spiritualist" on your side of the field, and successfully activate "Last Turn", you automatically win as "Jowgen" prevents your opponent from filling the requirement of "Last Turn".
