Des Feral Imp


Recommended Posts

Being attacked while facedown isn't exactly something that happens all that much. Chances are you're going to have your entire field blown up before they declare an attack if you aren't properly prepared, they're planning on using something along the lines of a Brain Control Synchro with a tuner or Cyber Valley drawing to manipulate your card, or it's gonna be an all out attack and after taking out your card they're moving on to decimate your life points. In the first case you want a card worth protecting for a turn. In the second case you want a card that can screw with your opponent, and in the third case you want a solid card to wall your opponent or cripple their assauslt. This card just isn't worth it, as faster albeit more costly versions of it that either search cards from the deck or the grave exists to do its job.

 

If the meta was slower, had more searchers, and was generally control-based this might see some use. But at the rate things are going it just keeps on getting worse. Though the odd reptile typing is interesting, as they can search out pretty consistentally.

This card pails in comparison to more recent cards like POA' date=' Transmigration Prophecy, etc.

Except that PoA is more situational and restricted to monsters. Further, it's actually possible to mess around with and re-use Des Feral Imp easily.

 

True, but this is a flip effect, and as others have said, most flip effect monsters do not live to see their effects activated, or die after being activated (yes, I know ryko exists). However, this card could be used in certain deck types, since it can recycle other copies of it, but it probably is not meta worthy.

Taiyou and Flip Summoning. With enough protection, it can be done.

 

Of course, not in a meta deck, though. FLIPs are still too slow, but I'm just saying that it can work.

Things will be slightly slower this format with some main cards (Allure, D-Draw, Charge, Black Whirlwind) getting hit. I don't think Des Feral Imp is too bad, but it'll be lucky to get a main deck spot.
