Still the coolest God card. Discuss.

[Canopy Star - Eon Sphere]

Frogs can get this out AND maintain decent hand size. Drawing this and Salvage is schweet.

The only thing that disappoints me is that it lacks its brothers immunity, so it is best to leave it on the field as disruption, rather than actually attack with it. If you do, though, man is it funny. Kills nearly every deck I can think of save for Chaos Dragons and Gishki (maybe?). It even kills DWs cause all of their fodder for Grapha gets destroyed as soon as it hits the field.

TL;DR: This card + Safe Zone = Awesome

The Last sentence is the best thing this card has going for it. and it STILL loses out to Ra and Obelisk!! At least it has the best artwork out of the 3 gods.

[Legend Zero]

Slifer Gadgets is still the best deck.

I still don't understand why this didn't get the protection. :/

[Aix]

If it had protection, it would be invincible to everything except Dark Hole and whatnot.

[Cute Rotten Yoshika]

i assume because with even a single card in hand its difficult to get over it

[Strider Tigerwolf]

I WANT 1! D: WHERE ARE YOU MY LITTLE PIGGY?!

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

Well, lets just be glad that they didn't go with DEF for the reduction.................

[NoshpalStefan]

I swear, I still think this is probably the best God of all the 3. And I'm not just saying that because Yugi used it. Shame that Obelisk gets through it, though. But, in all seriousness, this can get killed pretty easily by some decks, but it just annihilates Dark World, X-Saber, any Synchro-hybrid decks, Blackwings, and what not. What dazzles me is the fact that I can't help but see dozens of Frog Monarch decks using Obelisk, but only a few use this one. Still, that might just be with the players I've seen, I have no clue about players elsewhere.

[~British Soul~]

I WANT THIS THING TOO. Unfortunately it's A. too expensive, B. I'll have to wait for its reprint anyway.

WHERE THE F*CK IS THE LIGHTNING COMING FROM?

OT: It'd be cool if it couldn't be targeted.

Ra is the worst one, of the 3 God Cards. What are you talking about?

[/quote]I mean If Ra is summoned, then Slifer won't be able to use it's effect to destroy it. Then Ra can just destroy it. Or if Ra is already on the field, then Slifer probably won't be able to destroy it in battle . . . on a second thought. Forget what I said.

[The Hounds Of Anubis]

Obelisk is just leaps and bounds better than both of the others. Not to mention the ease in which Frogs can get him out and the lack of actual outs any deck actually has to him.

[evilfusion]

I remember this getting announced, and me being SOOOO happy it didnt get a Ra-level nerf, and that its art was super badass.

If it had gotten the "no targeting" effect, it'd be too good. Obelisk only has it because it has a set ATK value (4000) whereas Ra is variable (it also sucks too much) and Slifer could have 6000 or more, plus its effect destroying and weakening stuff. Obelisk is used because it's a consistent threat (monsters with 4000+ attack are outright rare to see), and most things commonly used either target or are used on Summon.
