DARKPLANT RISING Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Freezerdon is supposed to be Volca's counterpart. SUPPOSED TO BE... OT: As far as I know damage to your opp > healing yourself, most of the time. I'd rarely summon this over Volca. But still a nice and valid addition.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 it's Winged Beast, not WInged-Beast for the type in terms of LP gain, I'm unsure. Unless it's a significant amount (like 1500 or higher), it's not really that practical it would have been better to burn your opponent instead after all, you're already cutting your damage down in the last effect anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmepie Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I like it.It has a good gain, so cards like Draining Shield aren't really needed in a deck running him and it has a decent ATK so it will be harder to get rid of. On top of that the draw back keeps it nice and balanced without going overboard cause it an still attack a monster and deal full damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceDorago Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you want attack counters, D-Prison and Mirror Force exist. They're much better as they actually get rid of the monster(s). Draining Shield is meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not the Foolish Burial/One for One type -1 in which it actually morphes into soe random s***load of pluses, it's a very simple -1.

[/quote] Just to offer a counter argument, Draining Shield is alright in Heal Fairies but they havent even been remotely considerable since Hyperion came out. Mars/Saturn OTK's are just too slow, but this card would be okay in those decks. But this card is nice lol, and suits my idea that Ice Cards should look awkward as hell.

This Account is Unplayable Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Card is well designed and has the bonus of being able to run over Stardust, which Volca fails to manage. It may or may not be able to see any real use because the same thing is said for Tiras, which is almost unchallenged in terms of being better than this card. However, in certain cases this can be useful as it may allow for a use of Solemn Warning if low on HP, but the issue with it is that it's only good in situations too situational to warrant using up Extra Deck space for this.

[/quote] I did say what you did, in an albeit far nicer way and in a way to consider it instead of shutting down the idea. Regardless of how bad, one should never be immediately negative towards it.

gimmepie Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Actually I have run into quite a few decks running draining shield and find it can be a useful card (not to be run over a destruction trap though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmepie Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 This is why this card would never see much play. People always fail to understand that protecting your own LP can be just as important as diminishing your opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmepie Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 The amount of people who have raged because I managed to gain LP, negate their attack and win the next turn are why I keep it a few decks. If it ceases to be useful I'll get rid of it. I'd run this card simply because it gives you LP gain and beatstick to make things difficult for your opponent.

gimmepie Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I don't necessarily rage quit (though no joke a couple did). It's more of a when you use it on a boss to gain like 3000LP then bring out something to kill it on your next turn they don't particularly like it.
