Zowayix Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just interested: How many cards are there that reference other cards being Forbidden? I can name three, although I think there's more. 1. Flash of the Forbidden Spell [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070501205731/yugioh/images/thumb/e/e2/FlashoftheForbiddenSpell-CDIP-EN-R-1E.jpg/300px-FlashoftheForbiddenSpell-CDIP-EN-R-1E.jpg[/img] Name directly refers to a "Forbidden Spell" (Raigeki). "Flash" might be referring to lightning or thunder? 2. Legacy of Yata-Garasu [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110916042011/yugioh/images/thumb/1/1b/LegacyofYataGarasuSDDL-EN-C-1E.jpg/300px-LegacyofYataGarasuSDDL-EN-C-1E.jpg[/img] Kind of self-explanatory; Yata-Garasu was banned for Draw Phase lockdowns and this card might theoretically be used to counter it. 3. Shard of Greed [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111206055144/yugioh/images/thumb/1/1b/ShardofGreed-PHSW-EN-ScR-1E.jpg/300px-ShardofGreed-PHSW-EN-ScR-1E.jpg[/img] I like this one because it shows how Pot of Greed is now literally broken. Any more besides these three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Raigeki Bottle: Raigeki Fishborg Launcher: Fishborg Blaster Rescue Rabit: Rescue Cat Cold Feet: Cold Wave The Modest Sentry: The Forceful Sentry Ohwait, these are retrains of banned cards like Shard of Greed.

Northern Sage Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I do enjoy it when Konami gets a bit creative with their aesthetics. This one might be a stretch, but I find it kind of curious what a card named Marine Snow Seal has featured on it's artwork: [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120702113108/yugioh/images/0/05/MarineSnowSeal-JP-Anime-ZX.jpg[/img] (It's Trish if you can't tell).

Toffee. Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you think about it, Flash of the Forbidden Spell could actually be teched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 There's a difference between retrians, references, and plain out jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] if it were a quick-play, yes. Otherwise you might as well run Needle Ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] This is kind of what I was going for. I'm looking for references. Cards like Fishborg Launcher and Lightning Vortex are retrains. Cold Feet and The Modest Sentry are jokes.

[/quote] The card shows the Ice Barrier dragons being sealed by the power of Mirror of the Ice Barrier. (In this case, the Mirror being Konami lol.)

newhat Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I thought those were the Verz. Anyhow. [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gryphon%27s_Feather_Duster"]Gryphon's Feather Duster[/url] references Harpie's Feather Duster. [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Destruction_Ring"]Destruction Ring[/url] references Ring of Destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zowayix Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Those are retrained versions, not quite a reference to them being banned. For example, Monster Reincarnation is a retrained Monster Reborn, but it does not reference Monster Reborn's Forbidden status (when it was Forbidden). The three cards in the OP do.
