A wild new synchro appeared! (Flaming Star Lord - Hoshin)

But at the moment, none of said support exists, and this card just looks awkward as a stand-alone Synchro.

It's not supposed to be a stand-alone Synchro. It never was with the ability to derp out another Monster from the deck. You're supposed to put it in tandem with other stuff, mostly the crap we're going to be seeing as promos down the line.

This is especially emphasized on when the magazine itself advertised that it's supposed to see support down the line, while we're not going to see this card til July or August (can't be arsed to remember which). Which means, yeah, WJMP and Saikyou JUMP are going to make it rather evident that this isn't supposed to be used alone, like an archetype... while it isn't one (or is one, depending on Shueisha/Konami).

So this card has a use now? The wording gives me the impression that if it is revived that it can stack it's effect.

With a name like [b]Star Lord[/b], it shouldn't done this:

"If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Koa'ki Meiru Doom" (from your Deck), then add 1 "Gallis, the Star Beast" and "Genex Ally Birdman" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand."

If it was
Level 6 or 8
1 FIRE Tuner + monster
2XXX ATK/200 DEF
And summoned a Level 4 or lower FIRE (even if it blocked Special Summoning for the rest of the turn)
It would totally be worth using.

As it is, for Lavals, Dragoon is stronger, is a better searcher, and doesn't put any restrictions on your summons. This will never be used in a Tier 1 sense, barring some epic support like Johnny promises (which I have no idea what it could be), and will only be used for oddball combos.

Would you guys all shut the hell up?

You're bitching about a Synchro being made for an archetype that hasn't been revealed yet. Why? Because it doesn't support existing decks much. Oh woe is you, Lavals don't get another card for their extra.

I'm just glad to see Synchros are still being MADE, and will withhold judgment on the card until its archetype/stuff to work with is revealed, as should you. It's pointless to b**** about it until July/August.

This may be just a simple prediction, but my guess is this is Konami preparing to stop simply shoving Xyz down everyone's throats and go to the more sane idea of letting people play Synchros AND Xyz. Seeing as you can't go into Level 5's after this card is brought out, your Obvious second plan will be going for Rank 3. It seems pretty clear to me that the cards that are going to be released to support our good friend here will be Level 3 FIRE monsters meant to quickly make Level 6 Synchros and Rank 3 Xyz.

Still, we can only speculate. At least it shouldn't be another FIRE spam deck.

I'm leaning more towards another R6 spam deck.

I'm guessing if they're SSd from the deck, their levels double. It wouldn't be hard to tack on an effect that makes that possible to each of them. At least, no different than tacking on the once-per-turn-equip effect of Inzektors.

[/quote]In either case, it would seem we can both agree that it appears to be at least somewhat of an attempt by Konami to make Synchro Monsters relevant again and work better along with Xyz.

Yeah, y'know, f*** the only thing we can actually discuss and speculate about the card.

What the actual f*** do you want us to do then? Just go "oh hey, it has nice artwork"? There's literally nothing else to discuss, knowing nothing about what else is coming out. We can assume it's going to be terrible anyway, the only FIRE decks that currently even exist are Lavals and Evols. Evols can't abuse this since it's level 6, and Lavals f*** up their own deck by playing this without it being from a first turn Firedog into Sprite play, and seeing as the cards that are meant to work with this are promos (iirc) then there won't be many to f***ing work with it, and Rank 6 spam, using fires, is never ever going to become decent. The entire Rank 6 field is completely dominated by Hieratics because they make it so much easier than anything else, and yes that includes any deck that Hoshin could abuse unless they decide to print a target for him that becomes a magical +3.

Here's a radical thought: DON'T.

There's no reason to talk about it. Yes, we know it's bad with the current cards at hand. Yes, we know there are promos coming out to work with this. Yes, we know it's probably going to be inferior to something else unless the support is broken.

There's no more point to discussing this than Tour Guide or Fran Ken. It's one of YCM's infamous topics that:
A. OMG SO BROKE
B. OMG SO BAD
or
C. What the hell is this, do not print as is (Involving either A or B)

There's NOTHING left to discuss. The topic should honestly be locked because the only discussion is speculation and R3/6 spam have already been mentioned for this.
