If you saw the anime, it would make seance

Why did they release this card?

Rephrase: Why did they choose an anime-only card, change its effect to the point of unrecognizable, but give it the same name? Clear World, Clear Vice Dragon, and Guardian Eatos at least kept some dignity that their anime incarnations had, but this...has absolutely nothing to do with Shuneros' anime effect.

Then again, Shuneros' anime effect was it was summoned when Orichalcos Kyutora was destroyed, its ATK was equal to the damage Kyutora negated, it Summoned Orichalcos Dexia and Aristoros, and when any of those monsters battled, Shuneros lost ATK equal to the ATK of the monster battled. And if it died, it summoned Divine Serpent, which turned your LP to 0, your hand to 0, forced you to mill 10 cards to attack...oh, but it had infinite ATK and you couldn't lose the duel.

I just don't get why they chose to release Shuneros with a very "I am so not Orichalcos Shuneros" effect. Of ALL the anime cards they could have printed, they chose to make a mockery of one of the most powerful cards in the anime.

^completely agree.

Also, for the sake of fans and collectors, I wouldn't have minded if they had released Orichalcos cards even if all of them ended up with "[b]This card cannot be Used in a Duel[/b]" if that let them keep at least some of their effects.

This helping Level 4 Normal Monsters and gaining some lolATK that your opponent can mold to their will is horrible.

It could have been way way better if it raised its attack points for each monster you control.

[~British Soul~]

because of new konami rulings, this card cannot be used, but who actually uses this card?

[Mehmani]

Geminis? No, it's too terrible.
