"Derp! Dandylion is a +1, so this is obviously a +3!"

 

On-topic: 4 tokens to block 4 attacks. Or, +4 levels to your Synchro Summon.

 

Discuss.

I don't really think this gets played that much anymore. Part of that is probably due to most players preferring to have more than one slot open, particularly for Synchro summons. The tokens can't be tributed for Tribute Summons, but can for things like Plasma. Dandylion is a bit better because it's a monster in of itself, gets its effect anytime it hits the grave, summons 2 tokens that can be used for Tributes (next turn). For Synchroing, people prefer the 3 star monster that can summon two 1 star tokens as opposed to the spell that summons four tokens. The condition of limiting summons is painful at times, same as Fires of Doomsday, but Fires Tokens can at least be used to tribute summon DARK monsters.

 

Still a pretty good defensive card or for Token Production.

It's only limited because Konami applied Nash Logic to the so-called "Goat Control" problem and pointlessly Limiting everything involved. That, and idiot kids thought the little 0/0 Goat Tokens were the threat rather than monster-eating, attack-preventing Thousand-Eyes Restrict - hence the format being called "Goat Control" rather than "TER Control".

 

People forget that Tokens are Normal Monsters' date=' and, can therefore, be abused with quite a few cards.

Scapegoat + DNA Surgery (Machine) + Limiter Removal + All-Out Attacks + ???? = Profit

 

So' date=' I know what [i']could[/i] happen when you divide by zero, but what happens when you multipy by zero?

 

The Scapegoats will become enraged and then explode into nothingness.

Wow' date=' a two-card Armory Arm. What a broken and abusive combo.

 

The only thing I can think of that might qualify is Triangle Power, but I forget how it's worded.

Both Thousand Energy and Triangle Power state "(except Tokens)" in their effects, so they wont work.

This @3 = Goat Control format

 

Indeed' date=' the legendary game-breaking Goat Control format was caused entirely by 3 Scapegoat. 3 Thousand-Eyes Restrict, 3 Tsukuyomi, 1 Magician of Faith, and 3 Metamorphosis were entirely irrelevant; it was just those tokens blocking a few attacks that completely broke the game. Screw preventing all attacks and eating monsters; Sheep Tokens are where it's at.

 

Incidentally, Konami's reaction to [s']Goat Control[/s] TER Control format is a wonderful example of why Nash Logic is terrible. Out of those five critical cards, four are now banned and the fifth, Scapegoat, is Limited. Only one of them, TER, is an actual problem.
