(My first topic in TCG, oddly)

Or, for the lazier people:

Level 5
DARK
Zombie/Effect
ATK: ?
DEF: 0
Effect: If you have 2000 Life Points or less, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: This card's ATK becomes half the opponent's Life Points.

[spoiler=Epic]

So Yankee mentioned to me about how two players on DN were playing with 500K LP, and after considering that for a while, I agreed to try it with him. He thought an Ancient Sacred Wyvern deck would be abusable, but I had other, more malicious purposes in mind.

And so we began what promised to be an epic duel of half a million LP apiece.

I opened with a Set Pyramid Turtle, which he attacked with his Stardust. That was his undoing...a Book in Life in hand sealed the deal and mocked his Assault Mode.

Endless Decay has a lot of cruel factors. Unlike Machine Emperor Granel Infinity, Endless Decay's ATK does not change with the opponent's total. It sets its ATK once and stays that way. So two copies of Endless Decay attacking directly is game.

0 DEF makes it searchable by Pyramid Turtle and Goblin Zombie, and can also be Special Summoned with cards like Book of Life, Call of the Mummy, Il Blud, etc. It does not have any Summoning Conditions, after all. Level 5 does make it unusable with Zombie Master, though.

Also, the effect setting the ATK is mandatory.

So, thoughts on this card?

11/10 logic

OT: Legendary duel is legendary. I wanna try it some day. xD

If YCM ever holds a Tournament using that condition, Ancient Leaf and Ancient Sacred Wyvern will be banned, Final Countdown and Endless Decay are limited.

Wyvern isn't a problem in 500K duels. That's why I was amused by Yankee's initial suggestion. Wyvern has to deal damage again, and again, and again to get ungodly powerful. The only difference between Wyvern in 500K duels and 8K duels is that because the opponent wont lose after 8000 damage, Wyvern will get higher stats.

Endless Decay and Granel, which I was also running (Wyvern has nothing on Granel, you know) would have ungodly high ATK early game. They're broken in 500K duels, especially since Endless Decay is spammable as hell.

We did agree that Final Countdown and Exodia are unfair in 500K duels. I noted you could play Countdown and then literally not do anything else for 20 turns and you'd probably still win.

Vennominaga would actually have a reason to exist in that format. You could sacrifice LP to get the combo pieces quicker, and then have a literally invincible beatstick that'll pretty much automatically win in 3 turns. But Endless and Granel are funnier.

Also, Solemn Judgment becomes terrible. In 8K duels, giving up 4000 LP to protect 8000 LP is a good move. Sacrificing 250,000 LP to protect 8000 LP is stupid.

Pretty much, a 500K duel is a game until a player Decks out. If a tournament was made around high LP (500K is a bit too much for that), a number of cards would have to be disallowed because mill Decks would annihilate you.

How much you wanna bet if this card was in manga only you all would be calling it broken.

We'd probably look at the anime version of Granel and just shrug.

Endless Decay is awesome. But it's got a lot of weaknesses, and having 500,000 LP made it god.

That's actually not too bad an image. Bears a slight resemblence to me.

Today is Evilfusion appreciation day, I guess O,o

On-Topic:
I was dueling this guy's terri-bad Zombies.dek once(No really, it had Patrician of Darkness and other mediocre Zombies).
I'm on the verge of winning -> He top-decks this card as the only card in his hand -> It has 4K ATK -> I end up spending like 5-ish turns trying to remove it, because heaven forbid all my monster removal isn't on the bottom of my deck .___.

:D

I guess people love me?

Decay is one of those cards you could probably build a fully functional Deck around, but it doesn't have the same speed or power as a regular Zombie Synchro/Xyz Deck. Especially since running Pyramid is a very good idea, and Pyramid's considered slow.

Ancient Leaf is Limited, Ancient Sacred is Unlimited, Final Countdown and Endless are BANNED.

So yeah. This definitely applies in this situation. :\

OT: Card has always looked like a great thing to play, it was just never a great thing to play :\
