Luna874 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 To sum up this card: It's basically Armageddon Knight on steroids with a searching effect to search boss monsters. [img]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6596/knightofcatastrophe.jpg[/img] It's lore: 2 level 4 DARK monsters. Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate one of the following effects: * Add 1 level 5 or higher DARK monster from your deck to your hand. * Send 1 DARK monster from your deck to the Graveyard to banish 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard. This card is designed mainly to manipulate the number of DARK monsters in the graveyard, but it can also search powerful DARK monsters such as Caius, Light and Darkness Dragon, any Malefic monster or Dark Armed Dragon which can't be searched easily. However, the main card this monster supports is Dark Armed Dragon. It's ATK is kinda low, since it's lower than most of the other Rank 4 Xyz monsters. However, this card isn't supposed to be a big beatstick, but as a monster with powerful effects that can run over monsters near the start of the duel. Its second effect not only puts DARK monsters in the graveyard, it can banish monsters from your opponent's graveyard and can slow them down at times depending on how reliant your opponent's deck is on the graveyard. Is it's ATK fine, or should I make it 2400 to give it a bit more power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Summoner Monk > Armaggeddon Knight > Plaguespreader > Xyz into this > Detach 1 material and search for Malicious > Destiny Draw Sounds like an interesting card for DARK Decks. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althemia Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Absolutely awful design. Being able to search Chaos Sorcerer and other such boss monsters is something that should be forbidden. You can also search for something like DAD which, considering how this already gives you a huge amount of grave set-up, is most likely going to be dropped on the turn that you search it. Being able to search for boss monsters with little to no cost is something that I find absolutely abysmal design. Balance of the card could be off because of the act that Summoner Monk is a thing. 2 Level 4 DARKs isn't something incredibly difficult to get onto the field and can easily be made in something like Inzektors in 1 turn, in which they can then search out their bigger boss monsters and then drop them and then just proceed to win even harder. Of course, then you also have a winmoar effect added onto the card in which it can then disrupt your opponent's strategy by banishing 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard whilst also setting up your own. This is about as good design as Darkflare is. :l Honestly, I don't like the card and find it dreadfully in the design department. Not entirely sure on balance, but I'm pretty sure it's broken if it can search things like Dark Armed Dragon and Chaos Sorcerer which can then proceed to be dropped on the field and win. EDIT: All of the good targets that you can search with this are the following- Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn Caius the Shadow Monarch Chaos Hunter Chaos Sorcerer Dark Armed Dragon Dark Simorgh Darkflare Dragon Darklord Asmodeus Darklord Superbia Darklord Zerato Destiny Hero - Malicious Destiny Hero - Plasma Gorz the Emissary of Darkness Grapha the Dragon Lord of Dark World Jinzo All of the Malefics Prophecy Destroyer Rainbow Dark Dragon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Steelswarms The Dark Creator Tragoedia Vanity's Fiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
