gimmepie Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Okay I recently discovered this trap and have found that it has excellent synergy with Fabled's and Dark Worlds. Although I feel it could also have a place in decks needing cards in the grave also. Discuss.

Aerion Brightflame Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think it was Origionally an Infernity support card. Stall whilst setting stuff up. The problem is, so much back row hate, this probably won't live long enough to have be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azphreal Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Barthandelus sums it up. It used to be a staple in old Dark Worlds, and was probably made to support Infernities with their hand-dropping Only problem these days is the backrow hate with three MST, Heavy Storm, three Ryko, etc., that it usually doesn't last long enough to make a huge difference. And these days, unfortunately, there are better things to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 This is a very interesting card, but the harsh truth is that there are better cards to protect yourself. Why do you want to take off advantage on individual attacks without repercussions on your opponent, when other cards protect you the whole turn? Even the decks for which it is not a cost, they prefer to move offensively, so you'll rarely find people discarding on the opponent's turn to bring temporary walls, but rather on their own turn to make sizable agressive plays.

[/quote] Discard Sillva or Grapha. You get to either destroy one card and then probably summon a beatstick next turn or automatically summon a mild beatstick. I admit that it is generally better to cause damage to your opponent but I feel that this card hasn't been given the credit its due as far as playability. I like that every time my opponent attacks I can quite possibly grapha them or summon a new monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 This card was given due back around the time Grapha and Snoww came into the picture.However, decks need to get faster and be more consistent as time goes by. This card is simple just not up to par anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 It'll get destroyed before it even has the chance to destroy itself during the 3rd turn. Well, we've already talked about Dark Worlds and Fableds. So I guess I'll toss in... DANDYLION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Depth Amulet is s*** in Fableds and Dark Worlds. -1 attack stopping,even when augmented, isn't worth it at all, especially when it'll explode anyways and result in more negging, unless they MST it. It's even worse in Fableds than Dark Worlds. Smog's a side card in DW, last I heard, and is bad in Fabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmepie Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hmmm they are quite different... I suppose it really depends on what you're looking to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 No it doesn't. Depth Amulet's one of those cards that looks appealing to bad players, but is never going to realistically be good, at all. If you're discarding Fableds during the Opponent's turn, you're doing it really wrong. If you want to do such in Dark Worlds for some reason, Chainability > Stopping an attack.
