Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I really don't use this card at all. I find that there are two options to this card (outside Skill Drain): Summon it late-game when you're about to win or not at all. Usually, when my opponent Summons this to do some extra damage mid-game-ish, I end up winning.

Shark was such an idiot.

OT: Card is pretty....fair, in Rank 3 Standards. It doesn't come close to the power of Leviair (because it's broken) or Zenmaines (because it can save itself from being destroyed, and also pop your opponent's cards), though. Usually, if you have something to Tour Guide into, it's usually better saved for those two, but this card is still "pretty good" to stand on its own, especially late-game.

That's hardly fair.

Shark had no idea that Acid Golem had so many negative effects. It's a Number also, so you can't even claim it's a matter of ignorance of the card effects, because Numbers otherwise didn't exist in the world, so not knowing the effects of a Number is to be expected without witnessing it firsthand or being possessed. Furthermore, Numbers have their card text written in a different language, so unless he was possessed by it, he wouldn't be able to read the card text.

Also, Kaito brought out Acid Golem because he predicted Shark planned to take control of it, and he had that Spell to remove its Overlay Units. If he didnt have that Spell or hadn't predicted the move, he very well may have lost that Duel.

OT/RL: I love Acid Golem. 3000/3000 is very impressive, and the downsides make it somewhat of a gamble to play, while still being extremely useful. It can charge over several major monsters, or defend against those that tie with it. Skill Drain removes the negative effects entirely, and Creature Swap/etc can be lulzy.

A weakness some people have exploited lately is the fact that Acid Golem is a mandatory Trigger Effect. One opponent brought out Herald of Perfection, which I defeated with Acid Golem, but he brought out another Herald and during the Standby, discarded a Fairy to destroy Golem. Dolkka works similarly.

[spoiler=His Origin]I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the meth
He did the monster meth
The monster meth
It was a graveyard smash
He did the meth
It caught on in a flash
He did the meth
He did the monster meth[/spoiler]

Shame that I got this gem thanks to my dumbass cousin.

That said, I absolutely hate thus card solely because it's based on that =/

On the other hand, it's a very solid card that's not bad at all.
