[quote]This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. If a Normal Monster you control is destroyed by battle, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card gains 1000 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. Face-up Level 4 Normal Monsters on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects.[/quote]

It's amazing. The song I mean, not the card.

It was playing yesterday too IIRC.

OT: I remember when this was the 20,000th topic in TCG. It's not great though. In fact, it's an insult to the other Orichalcos cards. Sadly it relies on your opponent to have at least 3 monsters to be an actual threat, although that in itself makes it good design. That said, it could be a good idea to play Ojama Trio after summoning this for the lulz....

I'd say The Winged Dragon of Ra and Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca are pretty high up there on the list of nerfs. For those you need to Tribute a lot of monsters and put a pretty big drawback on yourself just for a large beater with pretty much no protection. At least this is somewhat usable in a dedicated deck.

Remember, every time the anime Shunoros attacked, after damage calculation, it lost ATK equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster, which is pretty bad unless you got its ATK up stupidly high like Dartz did. (And in the case of Dartz, 9200 (almost half) of Shunoros's 20000 ATK came from Mirror Force's Effect Damage being treated as redirected Battle Damage.) I suppose Shunoros gaining ATK for the opponent's monsters mimics the anime Shunoros's ATK loss.
