Just Crouton Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'd rather use Compulsory Evacuation/Escape Device then come up with a "creative" way to make a card that wastes 2 of my monsters to destroy 1 of my opponent's monsters "viable."

[/quote] Scapegoat's fairly eh, and is much better used on a Naturia Synchro if anything. That's an awful use, and is STILL only a +0. You seem to think Zombies focus on +1 reviving, as a whole. They don't. They convert hand advantage to field advantage. Even then, with Goblin Zombies, it's still only a +0. Card is absolutely awful. So, shut up Thar.

Call of the Haunted is a fairly vulnerable card and in no way circumvents the -2 nature of this card. It was bad when the game came out because there were even less ways to use it properly.

Love of Ghibli Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I will say one of my favorite moments in 5D's is seeing this card being used against Crow or Yusei (can't remember) right along its buddies dragon capture jar and gift of the mystical elf.

And then comes the detach effects: creatures meant to be sacrifices just hand-picked to take a place on the field once again, all like "whaddup? we jus' brought out a f*ckin' Xyz, noob! whaddya gon' do abou' i'?"

[/quote] Some people use a grunt-popping tactic that it can be used for. You'd have to time it right, but in late-game, if your opponent has a big creature out, then it's as good as gone at the price of two of your grunts. And who knows - you might have some left to bring one of your big creatures out and finish the duel. It's an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I have heard of them, but that's irrelevant. If we're talking about JUST the card at hand, then it's about how THAT particular card can be useful, not how it's just wiped away in the dust from more viable cards like those you listed. That's just ignorant. It's like posting a topic on historic world leaders and bringing up today's political problems rather than WHAT MADE SAID WORLD LEADER GREAT at the time despite their flaws.

Just Crouton Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 There is no reason, no logical reason, for anyone to run Two-Pronged Attack. It costs 2 of your own monsters to perform a simple task of getting rid of 1 of the opponent's monsters, that can be accomplished with far less setup and damage to your own field advantage in cards like Compulsory Evacuation/Escape Device, Raigeki Break, Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, etc. You cost yourself 3 cards total on the field to destroy 1 enemy monster, and that's why Two-Pronged Attack is a bad card to play.
