[Single] Chess Archfiend, now suck less?

[-Griffin]

|Ghost Rook Archfiend|

|DARK/Fiend|Level 5|2100 ATK|1600 DEF|

|This card can be set without tribute. You can Special Summon this card while you control an "Archfiend" monster. You can only control 1 "Ghost Rook Archfiend". When your opponent activates a card effect, select 1 "Archfiend" monster you control, it is treated as targeting that monster for the effect of that monster.|

 

The last effect just means that it will trigger the die-rolling effects, or the 1000-to-negate of Thought Ruler.

It's name is "Ghost Rook Archfiend". Text mentions "Nemesis Archfiend". Purposely or not?

Thanks for catching the name change =p

...select 1 "Archfiend" monster you control. That card effect is treated as targeting that monster instead.|

 

Nitpicky, but the language is a tad clearer this way. But even without the changes, you could theoretically have Heavy Storm target an Archfiend. Or MST. "If a card effect targets a monster..." should fix that, I think.

The point is that Heavy Storm now targets Archfiends. For the effect of the archfiend only. Re-read Chess archfiends, figure out why that's helpful =p

No, I understand, I misread the effect and through my own interpretation thought that the effect was applied to the monster, as well as targetting it.

Now that misunderstanding is out of the way, comments on the card as a whole?

[Bringerofcake]

Certainly helps the Archfiends, but doesn't eliminate the semi-crippling effect of luck on the Archetype as a whole. Nice work.
