Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus

[Kazooie]

When this card is Summoned: You can place 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card. If this face-up card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.

 

It's cool with Carbuncle and Lightning Chidori.

I seriously wish Crystal Beasts got more support. They NEED to come back. Harpies can go screw themselves.

Stratos is broken

 

Doesn't count :P

For his Archtype, has good Level, good ATK, good Type-support, and now good Attribute-support. On top of being able to search itself without making it as stupid as Stratos, and being able to be recycled. What's not to love about this guy? 

 

I've actually always loved the concept of Crystal Beasts, only wished Emerald and Amethyst were better cards, that Amber could make an attack-lock, and that Cobalt Eagle had more ATK and IDK about the effect part.

 

Oh, and that Rainbow Dragon worked better with it's own Deck. Maybe even be a Crystal Beast itself.

I played CBeasts before they were cool! *inserthipstercommenthere*

 

OT - It really is balanced. The whole concept of the Crystal Beasts was well designed in-itself, and Konami should've probably kept up that type of attitude. :/ Oh wells.

Stratos would like a word.

Ironically, Crystal Pegasus is based on Stratos.
But not as busted, of course.

The problem with Crystal Beasts is how weak they are in terms of stats and/or effects. Their tendency to stick around and fuel other effects, however, is an awesome design. How often do you have your opponent often fretting about you having faceup Continuous cards that don't, on their own, do anything?

 

Sapphire is easily the best member of the archetype with solid stats and Typing (and now Attribute favors it, too), and can search any CB from any location (hand, Deck, or Grave) and place it in the S/T zone, ready to be SSed with Crystal Promise/etc.
