-Berserker- Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well, this one depends of a nomi to be summoned, so at least it should give us more options about from where to remove it... Seems real in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hand or deck? That does make me wonder, since it breaks the formula of, I don't know, EVERY OTHER Malefic monster that requires its counterpart. I can believe the Rainbow/Rainbow Dark because it may say something like "RFG an 'Ultimate Gem God' monster", and that translates to "Rainbow Dragon/Rainbow Dark Dragon" in the TCG.

White Void Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I just wish it did something besides being a giant beater It's eh....the entire Malefic archetype is disappointing though so not really sure why I expected it to be more.

evilfusion Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Le Pierrot' timestamp='1295385507' post='4943294'] I just wish it did something besides being a giant beater It's eh....the entire Malefic archetype is disappointing though so not really sure why I expected it to be more. [/quote] The entire point of the Malefic archetype is that it can bring out giant beaters for no field commitment. In exchange, they're hindered. If they didn't limit attacks, they'd help swarm beatdown decks to absurd extents. If they didn't require a field spell, they'd be super-cheap monsters that can go in almost any deck, and if they didn't limit the number that could exist, they'd be even more evil. Unfortunately, having all those restrictions is what dooms the archetype. Sin Truth is the saving grace of Sins. Note that Skill Drain will remove the attack and field spell restriction.

White Void Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yes I understand that but really, why would anyone use this over Sin Cyber End which has the same attack, an arguably more useful typing, and doesn't require any additional cards (that happen to be nomis at that) in the main deck? Even a single additional effect of "This monster gains 500 attack for each Malefic/Sin monster in your graveyard" (Sin Turbo might have been amusing) would have given it some sort of point. Currently, there's no reason to run Sin Rainow or Sin Red-Eyes other than for fanboy or casual reasons since they are both outclassed entirely in their archetype.

darkwolf777 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The Japanese Text Specifically lists "Rainbow Dragon". Rainbow Dark Dragon is not valid, at least according to the Japanese text written on the wiki, since you can't really see the card itself, so one of them is definitely wrong. If there was a better scan, we could probably see ourselves o.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 True, but it removes the reliance on a Field (replacing it with a reliance on Drain) and allows all your monsters to attack. That makes Sins much BETTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 True, since then you still have all your deck space for strategy support and other cards, instead of being bogged down with the original Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, or Rainbow Dragon.

Mysty Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sure, Red-Eyes is pretty horrible, but Red-Eyes and Blue-Eyes could be used to be removed for their Sin counterparts and brought back with Return from the Different Dimension. BEWD and REBd can be summoned by Ancient Rules if you draw them. If anything, I'll use Sin Rainbow dragon as tech in casual Rainbow Dragon decks, though I might try it in Sins for a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 GUYS, GUYS.... THIS ACTUALLY GIVES REASON TO USING RAINBOW DRAGON IN CBS. No srsly, that Rainbow Ruin of theirs is like neigh-indestructible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 But unless you include all 7 CBs, the orignal Rainbow Dragon is just a dead draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 iirc Rainbow Neos needed either rainbow dragon OR rainbow dark dragon to summon it, so i think this could use either cards to summon it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 This is the actual effect apparently: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned, except by removing from play 1 "Rainbow Dragon" from your hand or Deck. There can only be 1 face-up "Malefic" monster on the field. Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That's pretty much what we expected. But it's still "from hand or deck"? Okay, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think its ability to remove from hand gives it any more use anyway. Art is cool though. It shoud of had an effect like: Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 malefic monster in your graveyard yo have this card gain 1000 ATk until the end phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
