Then, destroy 1 monster you control. If you cannot, your opponent draws 1 card.[/quote] I like the potential of this. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I don't see why this is mean for Meklords only seems it can support other types too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if a Deck is teching Meklords then it's fine, but you can't use it without having a Meklord of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 yeah I know I mean for the first sentence why did you devote this ONLY to support Meklords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how every competitive deck tends to run Solemn Judgment and Warning, or Monster Reborn. More Generic cards means less diverse decks and a more centered metagame. Which is bad. Card is decent, though I think decreasing the draw to 1 is better so it's more of a Dark Bribe with benefits for Meklords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the right situation, this can be "Negate a Spell or Trap, drop a 2500 beatstick from your hand for no cost." @ragnarok What would be the fun, point, or creativity in that? We'd have more cards like Solemn Warning parading around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 You're still losing card advantage, and making the opponent draw 1 makes it a -1 on both ends. The way it is now it's basically punishing you for playing the card without being able to take advantage of it's extra bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, that's only if you don't control a monster when you use it. So I guess I get what you're saying. Alright, I'll make it 1 card.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yea, basically with the clause it's either a limited Dark Bribe, or a free beastick for a tribute. Both are -1s, and there are plenty of other cards that get you free beasticks, including the meklords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason you couldn't get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 That's still a -1. And you're probably going to end up doing that anyway unless you want to give your opponent the draw, which usually isn't the case. Plus it's already a good MST counter anyway XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
