"This card cannot be Special Summoned. During your Main Phase, you can pay half your Life Points to destroy, and remove from play, all other cards on the field, and this card gains 300 ATK for each card destroyed this way. This card is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase of the turn it was Summoned."

Possible use with Frogs or Macro decks? Even if this card isn't "good", it's still completely bad-A. You wouldn't want to run into this guy in a dark alleyway. If nothing else, he's DARK and level 8, so he has his merits.

Dedicated decks are fun, and make the opponent groan xD

Future Visions
Dimensionhole
Interdimensional Transport Device
(DMG Only, but best for it) Dimension Switch

Use these, and he is out for good.

Dedicated Aslla Piscu builds work the same way, but are not quite as lulzy.

Gandora is not an OTK monster. It's impossible for him to gain 8000 ATK through his effect. His max ATK is 24x300 = 7300, and that would be you destroying 12 of your own cards in the process.

Gandora is NOT nearly the same as Chimeratech.

Nein.

First off, his effect can be activated multiple times in the same turn.

Secondly, Gandora, in a dedicated build, can survive for more than a turn. As such, with each turn, you just nuke and hit.

Totally irrelevant to my preferring to lose horribly to Veiler with Chimeratech than with this. There're much better uses for outrage out there than for forging nonsequitors.

My point is that it's not an OTK card by any stretch, [u]and therefore not comparable to Chimeratech.[/u][/quote]

They're both Yugioh cards, they're both committal, they're both fragile offensive objectives, and they're both would-be [b]finishers[/b] (as opposed to "OTK monsters". Far from every unobstructed play involving Chimeratech does 8000 or more damage to one's opponent in one turn, Gandora CAN theoretically OTK, and a general objective in choosing to bring out either is often to terminate the last of your opponent's Life Points by their nature of sacrificing resources for a significant offensive shot at your opponent assuming all goes according to plan.)

Not comparable? Anything can be compared to anything. What you're trying to do is have people believe they aren't similar, but that's also ludicrous. They share the aforementioned traits among a plethora of others. A card doesn't have to "BE AN OTK MONSTER" to dig you a hole when rebutted by a Veiler drop.

You don't exactly have to "commit" to play this card, though obviously it's a lot more useful if you do. You can just tribute summon it in any deck using Tributable monsters and activate its effect. Chimeratech requires you to use Cyber Dragon, a good number of other machines, and Polymerization or Overload Fusion (with Future Fusion proving to provide a lot more consistency with the latter) to use with any sort of effectiveness whatsoever.

Gandora's committal in that you're usually committing two monsters and half your Life Points along with potentially other cards you'd left on the field in order to generate whatever offense Gandora can get you. It's not a card you can just pop out without being prepared for consequences.
