Field Searchers are a series of monsters whose unique effect have the ability to search out for a certain Field Spell specifically for their Archetype/[[Attribute]]. They are all 4 star monsters that allow you to discard them to add their corresponding [[Field Spell Card]] to your hand from your deck. While they have [[ATK]]s ranging from 1600 (Gravekeeper's Commandant) to 2100 (Elemental Hero Captain Gold), all of them has a unified 2100 ATK when played with their respective field cards (they either need the card to be on the field, as in the case of Archfiend General or Captain Gold, or gain an ATK boost while their Field card is in play, raising their ATK to 2100). They were all introduced in "[[Force of the Breaker]]" booster pack and, with the exception of Captain Gold, are all rares (Captain Gold being Ultra Rare, but having since been reprinted as a rare).

Although not a field searcher on sight, [[Volcanic Rocket]] acts somewhat like Field Searchers as it searches out the spell card needed for Volcanic Decks, although it needs to be summoned and remains at 1900 ATK regardless of whether or not the card is on the field. The up side is you dont loose advantage in order to get it's corresponding card. [[Hecatrice]] is also similar, but the card it searches, [[Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen]], is not a field card.

Also [[Immortal Ruler]] can be noted as a field searcher since it searches out [[Zombie World]], though its effects state it can only search out the card from the [[Graveyard]] and must be [[Tribute]]d to activate its effect. [[Assault Beast]] is also similar to the field searchers, albeit on a limb as it searches out a trap card instead of a field spell card. However, it is also a Rare card, has 1900 attack and 4 stars. The card it searches out, [[Assault Mode Activate]], is also crucial for the archetype. [[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] can be considered a Field Searcher, due to its ability, although it's not tied to any particular archetype.

Field Searcher

Appears in (sets)

Force of the Breaker

The Field Searchers are a series of monsters which have the ability to search out for a certain Field Spell Card for their Archetype, Attribute or Type. They are all Level 4 Monsters that allow you to discard them to add their corresponding Field Spell Card to your hand from your deck. While they have ATKs ranging from 1600 to 2100, all of them have 2100 ATK when played with their respective Field Spell (they either need the card to be on the field or gain an ATK boost while their Field Spell is on the field). They were all introduced in "Force of the Breaker" and, with the exception of Elemental Hero Captain Gold, were all Rares (Captain Gold being Ultra Rare in FOTB, but having since been reprinted as Rare).

The Field Searchers and their corresponding Field Cards are as follows:

(Does not need the Field Card but would gain ATK while it is on the field)

(Does not gain ATK and requires the Field Card to be on the field)

Note that "Neo Space Pathfinder" is a Field Searcher, but differs from the others that it remains at 1800 ATK regardless of the Field Spell Card being or not on the field. It also can return "Neo Space" from the Graveyard, and was released outside of Force of the Breaker.

While their effects are little more than specialised versions of "Terraforming", they are all monster cards, so they can provide some sort of protection should you run out of Field Cards ("Terraforming", in such a case, would be a dead draw). In addition, all of these cards have outstanding ATK when their field card is on the field, making them great beatsticks (this is even more true for "Harpie Queen", "Warrior of Atlantis", and "Gravekeeper's Commandant", as the former two already have 1900 ATK, while the latter has the highest Original ATK of any non-tribute Gravekeeper's monster). Finally, given practically no deck is ever built relying on more than a single Field Spell card, their specialization drawback is nearly non-existent.

Other Field Searching-related monsters include:
