Fishborg Blaster

[-Berserker-]

 

 

Back before Atlanteans, I had hope this actually had a chance to return. It's descendants cannot hope to be as good as this guy.

 

First the retarded son. I think there are like 2 Synchros it can summon.

Then the luck based non-tuner adopted son. This pothead is not really that bad, but doesn't really have an use.

And then the hard-working lv3 son who gives his best even knowing he cannot be as great as papa.

 

Anyways, discuss.

 

PS: I would like this Turbo version, for collection purposes. Both for being holo and for having the new text.

FOREVER

OT: Lack of Once per turn breaks it, basically.

Part of a FTK loop that uses only Forbidden cards.

Literally, the only thing it was missing.

Rest In Peace Fishborg Blaster.

 

May A Choir of Meta Spammers sing thee to thy rest.

 

 

Seriously though, I always hated this card and whenever I saw it I knew that an FTK was on the way. Like Arma said, if it only had the once per turn effect that they started using later on.

In terms of power, the best Tuner ever printed in the game of YGO. Ever.

Pretty sure the atlanteans are the problem here.

Apart from the fact this is an infinite tuner, I agree.

To be fair, guys, it only became problematic when you could start turning it's effect into +5s.
Since, you know, Librarian and Formula are cards(despite the fact the former is worse then the later, in this scenario).
Atlanteans were just the final nail in the coffin.

So I guess one could argue it's effect is balanced the way it is, since Synchros in general will always be a -1, and this card eats your hand at the same time to revive it each time, so while you can keep Synchro Summoning, its only limited by the number of cards in your hand.
Hell, I doubt you would even discard your Dark Hole and Judgment, just to revive it 2 more times if it meant you could Synchro for Quasar, despite the fact the Opponent could have like 2-3 outs to it that you didn't know of.
Thus, you ended up killing yourself off your own Fisborg.
Its an obscure scenario, yea, but it could happen if its cost was more of an actual thing.

Librarian was the main thing that broke this honestly, before that it was reasonably balanced and was part of one of the best engines ever IMO. But really just discarding 1 to keep bringing it back and bringing it back is busted, and basically making a free Formula each turn with Treeborn is pretty derpy too.

Great card, but Fish OTK made this so broke, especially with oyster meister combos.

[Sora1499]

I got this in rare and thought that it initially sucked... Boy was I wrong.

Good times. That was the first time one deck of mine was killed by the banlist. It had 3 Fishborg, 2 Librarian, 2 Formula, 3 Avarice...

 

Of course, I'm happy this was touched instead of Coelacanth.

[Toffee.]

Great card, but Fish OTK made this so broke-

Was only truly broken because, as I already mentioned, Formula and Librarian exist. Those two alone, basically, omit this card's cost all together.
(That, and it's endless revival by default was a bit much)
 

It had 3 Fishborg, 2 Librarian, 2 Formula, 3 Avarice...

Fishborg format in a nutshell.
Was funny as hell, too.
