Sophia, the Genesis Star God

[Shradow]

 

 

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 face-up Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monster from either side of the field, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card's Special Summon cannot be negated. When this card is Special Summoned: Banish all cards in both player's hands, sides of the field, and Graveyards, except this card. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation.
 

It seems... interesting. Discuss.

Chain material does EVERYTHING. Even sophia.

 

There's also desiny diva gishkis w/ teched instant fusion i guess.

Wish it were a Contact Fusion Monster or was searchable. Cuz, right now, it's just too hard to Summon. 

[Stan Alda]

I can imagine having a Synchro and an Xyz on the field at the same time, but what are the odds of having a Fusion and a Ritual too? Granted, they don't have to be on the same sides of the field, but it's still hard. It might make sense in a Yugi/Jaden/Yusei/Yuma tag duel (Yugi for BLS or Black Magician of Chaos Ritual, Jaden for E-Hero Fusion, Yusei for Stardust, and Yuma for Utopia or something) but that's only in the realm of fan fiction.

First, destroy Skill Drain.
It's hard to summon, but it's almost a win condition if you successfully summon it (unless your opponent topdecks a Mirror Force).

[Strider Tigerwolf]

This is just one of those cards that's really hard to summon, but WORTH the summon O.o

[guuu1234]

Well Gishki can bring out Rituals and Sychros (With Diva tech, of course), and Gem-Knights can handle Fusions and Xyz's (With Rabbit tech). So a hand of Double Summon, Rescue Rabbit, Deep Sea Diva, Gishki Aquamirror, Evigishki Psychelone, and Instant Fusion (Extra Deck needs Catastor, Daigusto Emeral, and Any level 5 or lower fusion) will summon this . . . except those combinations will never happen. A Gishki Gem-Knight Deck (with Rabbit and Diva tech) would be interesting though, even if it would be horribly inconsistent.

[Shradow]

Oh right, Instant Fusion would definitely help, probably be a necessity, even.

[Wildflame]

Made a deck around it. Never actually summoned her :(

This thread reeks of Deus Ex.

There's no reliable way to Summon it, and if you do, you essentially win.

 

In that respect, it's very similar to Horakthy in that the Summoning method is absurd, but you can't stop the Summon or effect, and the effort is rewarded with victory. But it's a very, very dead draw if you can't Summon it, and while it's possible the opponent will use 1 of the needed monsters, you still need a way to quickly and reliably bring out the other 3.

 

Fusions easily pass with Instant Fusion. Xyz is the likely opponent's material. Rituals need a Deck revolved around it, and Gishki can manage it best, and Synchros...hmm...

 

Gishkis can use it best, clearly, since they have the means to easily Xyz Summon (Gishki Beast), Ritual Summon (the entire archetype), Fusion Summon (Instant Fusion), and Synchro Summon if you add Tuners. But Gishkis dont WANT to do something like this to themselves. Gishki Rituals tend to already screw with the opponent and regenerate their resources and cards, so adding all that support, plus Sophia itself, and gathering them all together just to banish everything in play but the Deck and itself is...unnecessary. It's purely for show, and it makes the Deck inconsistent by doing it.

tldr, but there's actually quite a consistent way to summon this.
At least I think I just made a deck that took out sophia in 2 out of 3 games so far.
here are some screenshots:

 

Decklist:

 

 

 

[Wildflame]

^ I'd run at least 2 Gishki Beast in there in order to make Xyz Summoning more reliable.

[Valkyrus]

in place of what?

[Wildflame]

in place of what?

I'd drop 1 Atlantean and 1 Moray/Mallet.

[ihop]

Level 11.

 

One of only 4 iirc.

Found the TCG art:

 

Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth is the new name.

[Sunshine Jesse]

I think I'll go build some terrible Relinquished Piper deck with this just for the fun of it
