Psycho Shocker Android Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Effect:Send 4 "Crystal Beast" cards from your Spell & Trap Card Zone to the Graveyard. Send all cards on the field to the Graveyard. Then, Special Summon as many "Crystal Beast" monsters as possible from your Graveyard, up to the number of your opponent's cards that were sent to the Graveyard by this card's effect. By far the strongest finisher. I mean forget Return from the Different Dimension and Rekindling. This clears the field and swarms. It's not screwed over by Stardust Dragon and now with Solemn Judgment at 1 you have a pretty good success probability with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Gem Beasts have a more traditional RFTDD/Rekindling in the form of Ruby Carbuncle anyhow, so it's not like the extra vulnerability to negation makes them weaker, as they can always fall back on a standard swarm; this simply provides another (better) option.

How hard is it for people to put the name of the card in the topic title? Sorry for the title I didn't know about that new rule. If you check some of my old topics you'll see that I often use the name of the card in a different language for the title. I guess I'll have to find something else now.

As I said, Ruby Carbuncle.

I was thinking other than carbuncle and abundance when you said "fall back on". Outside the 2 finisher, their swarm isn't great, you only get 1 extra monster, who's a crystal beast which isn't that great of a monster, at the cost of another card. It's like having a cyber dragon or a call of the haunted. It's also far from standard because people are used to six samurais, cyber dragon, blackwings, or stuff like lumina and zombie master.

But Ruby is always available, since Pegasus and Beacon can both fetch Ruby, and Ruby is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 By far the strongest finisher. Dimension Fusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Kefka~ Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 By far the strongest finisher. Dimension Fusion? best legal finisher, and besides D. Fusion doesn't clear the field. I run CB's and my friends hate when i use this my friend Matt always bastards about how it should get banned XD, but it's like previously stated, OTK in a can, the only thing that can probably screw it over is if someone chained it to Roar, but even then i can still finish things off quick half the time if your opponent has at least 4 cards on the field you can just show it and say "Game." feared by anyone who faces my CB's and a jabroni to anyone who's hit by it Abundance is probably my favorite spell card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werewolfjedi Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It's kind of opponent reliant for an OTK... yeah, but unless they are facing a burn deck, they will find their way into the spell and trap card zones for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 IMO, this card was more abusive in Wc08, and the early Wc09 format.Wc08, because you could run lulzy combos like Eagle + Pegasus(and it actually worked)Wc09, because it had Recue Cat in 3s. Now-a-days, its still a pretty good finisher ;) EDIT: Awwww, you cant use Ojama Trio D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
