Brandon Michael Geren Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080919195740/yugioh/images/thumb/0/05/SinisterSerpentSDD-EN-ScR-UE.jpg/300px-SinisterSerpentSDD-EN-ScR-UE.jpg[/img] Canadian and I were playing April 2005. We netdecked the first and second place from a Jump. Well, idk about him but I made a few changes to my guy's build. It's an honestly terrible card and should go to 3. We only used it for beating down Scapegoat tokens and then tributing it. Oh once or twice it was pretty hilarious to discard when the opponent played Delinquent Duo. Other than that, useless.

Only Nobleman was played in April 2005 but that was still enough to make me feel retarded for using Serpent beatdown when he went Book + Nobleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuku Oikawa Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Wait, does Sinister Serpent's effect activate on the field? I always thought it just activated in the Graveyard, and gave it weird wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I wouldn't mind trying it @1 (with Tsukuyomi) for a format. Nothing in the meta can really use it effectively, unless I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfopresident Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I dont see it ever going to three. The fact that it makes costs free is way too good. Some might say Frog is better, but the fact you dont need backrows makes this better IMO. If it was at three i'd play some Ice Edge, Super Poly, PWWB.dek with it lol. It would of been cool if it was around last format with water synchro. Free discard for Swap and Fishborg along with b'ing a water for Undine.

Airride Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 They should errata it, as it looks like this has to be on your field to retrieve a serpent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingdom Xathers Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 if taken literally in this meta this actually becomes a terrible card and should be back @3 lol[/sarcasm] OT: It's @ 0 for good reason. If it had the intended effect in the OCG, there's no reason to go against that in the TCG (we are not Upper Deck, after all....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 This card can go @3, since not many decks today would use it. Tsukyomi, however, can remain @0. I don't like a re-usable Book of Moon each turn, regardless if it wastes a summon or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Although its very abusable, putting it to 1 probably wouldn't do too much to the game atm anyways. It's already so f***ed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Crouton Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sinister Serpent is absolute crap. Why would you ban a 300 ATK monster while Gene-Warped Warwolf is running rampant? For pete's sake! They let overpowered 2000 beaters who have ABSOLUTELY no drawbacks at all loose, but this gets banned? Sheesh. Imagine if this was a Thunder or Pyro-Type. Gem-Knights, anybody?

Lonk Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 [size=3]Only reason why Sinister Serpent was banned is because of Abyss Soldier, which abused it.

If Konami ever does decide to reprint this for Lord knows what reason, that'd be a d!ck move on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
