Why rainbow dragon should not be run in any decks

[JesusofChaos™]

Right lately i have seen people going oh rainbow dragon will kick ass in my deck. No people it wont here are some reasons:

Number 1- it requires 7 monsters for it to work, in the the 1st hand you are likely to only get like 3. Also all the monsters have to have different names, making this virtually impossible to summon.

Number 2-Even if you get it on field (by which time your opponent has 4 monarchs on the field) it can be easily destroy by divine wrath/solemn judgement/snipe hunter/hammer shot etc. This wastes all the time you took getting it on the field in the 1st place.

Number 3- Its effect blows so much, 1st of all most of your crystal beast will be in graveyard, the chances of you actually getting a decent amount of atk points added on is small. If you use its other effect you are just resetting the field wtf is the point of that??? You spent all that time summoning it and you have to start all over again

 

Now there is a way to make crystal beasts decks playable (so dont go burning them yet) try to run 1 mammoth, 3 peagus, 1 eagle, 1 tortoise, 2 tiger, 2 cucticle, and 2 cats. Also run 3 crystal ambudance. This makes a kick ass otk deck.

 

Now if i see anymore crystal beast decks that run rainbow i will have to start hunting you down.

O...kay...

 

The main weakness of Rainbow Dragon is that, if you run a deck with him, your opponent will realize your strategy in like... the first 2 turns, and counter it. I'm not saying it's a great card - were I playing the game, I wouldn't run it - but it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

[Careless Whisper]

I say it's just as bad as exodia, takes way too much time to get it, and by the time you get atleast 2 in your hand, your opponent probably knows what your trying to do, and he might counter it immediately. like, card destruction, or morphing jar. the only way to get them back in your hand is monster reincarnation, but you can only have one of those in your deck now. I read the updates of the rules in tournaments, and they say your not allowed to use more than one.

[HORUS]

it is a pretty bad card.

 

it means you have to run cobalt eagle and emerald tortoise and amber mammoth.

[Dark Supreme]

Well, it is not impossibe to summon, but you make a point. It sucks even more than E.Hero bubbleman!

 

I mean it against Zaborg, the owner must kill himself after that..lol

 

Nyways, Thanks!FOR GETTING RID Of c beast N00bs!!! and i find Cobalt not that useful, i dont veen run him in my C beast Deck.

[Purple Dinosaur]

Yoummentionned that Rainbow Dragon can be killed with Pulling the Rug but it can't...Divine Wrath maybe but PtR's effect can only target a monster whose effect is activated once Summoned. RD's effect is on the field but you can choose to activate it so in conclusion, Pulling the Rug or >>Divine Wrath<

thanks anchor remix i will update

[JesusofChaos™]

[Jerry OldMaster]

LOL HORUS

buh!?

 

Crystal Beasts PLAYABLE?!

XD XD XD

 

The LAGI are disgusting in any way, and those who run them I consider as n00bish who run E-Heroes...

[JesusofChaos™]

meh i suppose they are horrible but people who want to run them (they must be crazy go buy some monarchs you noobs) can try abudance is does work sometimes

[Lilrow]

Yes, rainbow dragon sucks. So do tortoise and eagle.

[Orochi]

if you want to run rainbow dragon, YOU MUST make a deck for summoning him... you CAN'T put RD in any deck... from that point of view this thread is not neccesary...

[Flame Dragon]

Stop calling people that use Rainbow Dragon a noob. I run him in my CB deck and he's never bitten me in the ass before. Granted I really don't draw him but still. I use him because it's something different and I know most people don't do it. Granted it’s because he’s not that great but still calling people that run him a noob is just stupid, wrong, and unneeded

 

Also the people might just use the deck to mess around with, like I do.

[Laetitia]

Flame dragon save your breath your talking to people who play in tournaments. And act like the only deck worth playing at any time is the apprentice monarch deck because they would rather win with something thats easy to use than, try and make something hard to use work. I also expect to be spammed for this post because god for bid someone has an opinion that goes against Horus way of thinking.

Wow. He doesn't even run Apprentice monarchs. I do :'(. MEANIE!!!

 

No, but seriously, Green Baboon. Its better than Abundance AND Rainbow Dragon. Plus, it combos with foolish burial, so its like you actually have 2 chances to draw him, vs rainbow, where if you deck two, its like drawing two pot of avarice in a Remove from Play deck. And abundance is terrible if your opponent doesn't have a bunch of monsters on the field, as all the s/t's will be chainable, and you will get to summon one monster. Too situational. Baboon, or don't run CB.

 

Of course, you can run a baboon deck instead of CB's in general, but whichever floats your boat.

Hmph you can call me a meanie if you want but the fact of the matter is I merely stated obvious facts. People like Horus will always call people Noobs if they don't agree with him. In the end you can say a card sucks all you want but in the end thats only your opinion and don't go saying its not opinion its fact. Because then your just being ignorant.

 

Any card can be good if played right. Great posibly not but good they can be. Frankly you people really need to stop making topic like this because their just an excuse to call people noobs, and force your beliefs on them. Plus they cause unneeded conflict.

i will call people noobs if they are noobs. i say cards suck because they do. seriously. why are you people running sparkman, when Hydrogeddon has the same attack power, but also a multiplying effect that gives you a +2 advantage?

 

so youre saying that, if played right, Gift of Greed can be a good card?

In the end Horus your opinion means little to me. A person who has to be right all the time, and there for pushes their beliefs onto others. And yes it can greed decks will eat it up or cards that require a certain amount of cards in your opponents hand will find it useful. You can say something sucks because you believe that but that doesn't make it true. It's the same as me saying chocolate sucks. Its a matter of opinion becuse I don't like chocolate.

 

So heres a bit of advice for you Horus keep your opinions to yourself. You can think something but stop treating other people like dirt because they don't share your belief. That is all I have to say on this Horus because in the end your head is so big no matter what anyone says you'll never accept that maybe your being a jerk, and try to be nice because I seriously doubt you have the ability to do so without falling over from the pain it would result you to feel.

[Orochi]

don't be such a cranky laetitia... horus is a direct person and that sometimes annoys... but he can be wrong too... also i have different opinion sometimes and he's not treating me like dirt, because i can say why i think that way and i can defend my opinion with more than "i run that card because i like it"... that's a nonsense...

 

 

when you post an opinion in an open forum, you have to spect several responses, from good ones to criticism... horus is a critic, but in many ways he's right, specially when he considers competitive decks... you can make a deck for fun, but if you post that deck here and say things like "this deck has win all the duels" or "i'm gonna use this on locals" obviously you have to be ready to receive answers like "why you put this card?" or "this deck lacks on strategy" or "that card is banned"...

 

for example, a guy has posted 3 decks with 3 copies of e-hero sparkman, that card is BAD unless you run a e-hero deck, and even there is still bad, so we have to be critic for that deck's sake... because cards like hydrogeddon, mirage dragon or breaker the magical warrior has the same ATK but way too better effects, need to say more?

Bolded = Sounds like flawed philosophy to me. Elitists are allowed to say what they want, no matter how much you don't like people telling you your wrong when there is no wrong or right. Sure, he could give more thought to his word choice, so he doesn't sound rude, but any more than sounding nice and friendly, which is something he doesn't need to do. In this context, he is allowed to speak whatever he wishes, and if he knows what works better, then let him speak. Anyone who posts ANYTHING on the internet should expect it to 1, be copied, and 2, more to the point, criticized by people with strong conflicting opinions. Look, if e hero decks came up once in a while, no one would care, but about half the decks posted here are e hero decks, and not really professional, so those who want to rate the better decks only see these "Gx Anime" decks, and it can bother People like George and HORUS, who are more concerned with making the decks here better.

 

So, in conclusion. Don't tell him to shut up, don't give him the crap philosophy that some people should not be allowed to speak on a democratic forum, just because he's "very critical, and not friendly". Also, opinions are fact if enough people believe it. "A lie told often Enough becomes Truth" - Vladimir Lenin. So if enough of us, the higher level players, believe that sparkman is a bad card, then for our level of play, it is. No experience in high level play? Don't judge what statistics show is fact.

 

Love ya,

Yay my thread has turned to rant about some person, this seems to happen alot these days =) When people post their decks asking for improvements, Horus (although sometimes very bluntly) tells them how to improve it. shouldnt you complement him for that?

He tells me to go kill myself or spend $300+ buying cards I don't want, nor do I need, in my deck.

I say it's just as bad as exodia' date=' takes way too much time to get it, and by the time you get atleast 2 in your hand, your opponent probably knows what your trying to do, and he might counter it immediately. like, card destruction, or morphing jar. the only way to get them back in your hand is monster reincarnation, but you can only have one of those in your deck now.

oi exodia is a kick ass card plus their is loads of cards now that allows you to duel and summon exodia quickly ( crystal seer for example)

You're right. Just look at what Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia has to say.

 

Manticore of Darkness Loop

To draw all five pieces of Exodia in the one turn continually tribute a Manticore of Darkness to revive another using their effect' date=' while Card of Safe Return is active. This allows you to continually draw cards until your draw all five pieces.

 

Heart of the Underdog Loop

Fill your deck with the five pieces of Exodia, one, two or three copies of Heart of the Underdog and fill it to 40 cards with the rest as NORMAL > Level 4 2000+ DEF monsters. Keep setting your 2000 def monsters until you draw Heart of the Underdog. On your next draw, if you draw a normal monster, you can draw again with the effect of Heart of the Underdog. Keep drawing until you have all five pieces. (You may have to wait two turns to draw all pieces, because Exodia, the Forbidden One is an effect monster.[/quote']

 

By the way, Rainbow Dragon is a waste of time. It is very easy to remove from the field with small garbage cards. Hammer shot, back to square one, wal of illusion, man eater bug, lightning vortex, etc, etc... The list goes on.
