Winged Dragon of Ra


Recommended Posts

Thinking about it again' date=' if it remained with that effect but didn't have the "[b']This card cannot be Special Summoned[/b]" part, it would be so funny xD

 

I Special Summon Ra from Graveyard with Call of the Haunted, pay all but 100 LP, Attack!!! Then Mystic Yok lol...

 

The effect itself isn't bad, it's the fact that it has to be Normal Summoned, if it could be Special Summoned, it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

 

I'm not saying is bad ;) I was hoping for a lot more but is still decent and needs a dedicated Deck. I was just thinking about how broken it would get to Special Summon it lots of times, attack with all your Life Points, then chain Mystic Yok or Altar for Tribute to regain your Life. Repeat next turn (or that same turn if you can). xD

 

Now I'm wondering, what does everyone think? Are these being made pretty much for the annyversary and then that's it? or is there possible/probable future support?

 

By giving my life to the chicken, I can attack you directly with myself!!!

I don't see anything in there about it getting the combined ATK of the monsters Tributed for the Tribute Summon. Why is its ATK even ? when it will be zero if you don't pay all your Life Points to power it up - and its destruction effect costs enough Life Points that you can't use it if you paid unless you run Life Point gain cards?

 

And being unable to be Special Summoned seems inconsistent with the precedent set by legal!Obelisk.

 

this^^

And igf you think about it, compared to the new Obelisk's destruction effect, Ra's destruction effect is useless. consider this combo: play D-Fissure and set ultimate offering. Next turn get out 3 D.D. Survivors with Offering, then tribute them for Obelisk. Thats -2000 life points. Then next turn, when the survivors come back, tribute them for Ra. He gets his attack points, up to 6000 if you didn't increase them by then. Next turn the Survivors come back, you can start the infinite Mega-Hit combo. Sacrifice 2 Survivors for Obelisks Effect, clearing the field of monsters, then use Ra's Mega ATK points to take out a big portion of thier life points. The only two problems with that combo, is obviously protecting from spells and traps, and then recovering from Ra's life points cost.

That's a seven-card combo that takes five of your turns to reduce your opponent's Life Points to 0. You do realize how stupidly terrible that is, don't you?

Ra's gone from being the strongest God Card to the weakest.

 

Sadly, even Google Translator gets the Summoning Condition pretty much the same way.

 

No "Gain the attack of all tributes"? Come on, Konami, we can count, y'know. Why is Obelisk better? And who actually came up with the effects? It's not like they didn't have the card space! Goodness, I hope Slifer/Osiris fares a better translation.

 

I'm curious about this card. There's no rulings yet for the card on Konami's website. And don't forget, it could be entirely possible (or, at least, I hope) that Ra, like its anime/manga counterpart, has effects not written on the card itself.

Yea, if Im correct, Ra releases right after Cyber Eltanin, cuz the V-Jump (japanese version) no. is 45 for Eltanin, and Ra's is 46, and since there's more V-Jump cards than there is Shonen Jump cards, and these two are right next to each other in the V-Jump, we can definately expect to see Ra right after Eltanin. It's just that they might release some Shonen Jumps without Yu-Gi-Oh cards first so we might have to wait. We can probably expect 2010 though.

Slifer The Sky Dragon

********** DIVINE

X000/X000

Divine-Beast/Effect

This card can only be Normal Summoned by tributing 3 monsters you control. This card's ATK and DEF is equal to the number of cards in your handx1000. Spell and Trap cards can not target this Face-Up monster. When your opponent summons a monster with 2000 DEF or less you can discard 1(or 2 knowing Konami) card to negate it's summoning and destroy it. Monster effects can not target this card. If this card is Special Summoned it is sent to the Graveyard at the End Phase.

 

I betting it will be somthing like this for some reason, weakening it to use it's ability.

this is clearly phoenix mode. the atk gain wasn't apart of phoenix mode. so it wasnt nurfed there. it only got nerfed when the striped it of its special summon.

 

Wasn't the Phoenix Mode triggered specifically by Special Summoning it? That's a rather large difference.

 

Here's the real problem: The ATK and DEF are only "?" when they really should be "????". That's lame. (Based on that, I suspect that Legal!Osiris/Legal!Slifer, when they get around to making it, will have ATK and DEF "?" instead of "X000".)
