Castle Gate
Group: Rock/Effect
Type: Earth
Level: 6
Atk: 0
Def: 2400
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Once per turn, if this card is in face-up Attack Position, you can Tribute 1 Level 5 or lower monster to inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK.

 

Ruling

If you use "Shield & Sword" to switch the original ATK and DEF of a monster and then Tribute it with "Castle Gate", the damage inflicted will be equal to the monster's unaltered original ATK. For example, if you use "Shield & Sword" to switch the original ATK and DEF of "Mystic Tomato" and then Tribute it with "Castle Gate", you will inflict 1400 damage to your opponent's Life Points.

 

You can Tribute a monster whose Level is reduced to 5 or less by a card effect.

 

If you Normal Summon "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" without Tributes and reduce its Level to 5 or less with a card effect, when you Tribute it with "Castle Gate" you will inflict 2800 damage to your opponent's Life Points ("Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast's" original ATK).

 

When you Tribute a monster with a printed ATK value of "?", no damage is inflicted to your opponent's Life Points.

 

Can be found in Phantom Darkness. It's a cool card, yes 1 Tribute and it can be destroyed easily be Smashing Ground but it's cool. It can survive the Monarchs attacks plus it a good burn card, my opinion. So what do you guys think of it? i got the rulings info of Xerocreative so it will be easy for us to discuss it.[/align]

yes' date=' very good as a stall card due to great defence points plus burn damage althought it's meant for urn decks not stall and never mix stall and burn in a deck, mostly fail

Lol.

If you want burn, you gotta put it in ATK position. And then, you'll probably receive as much battle damage as the burn you inflicted.

It does have some burn potential, but I agree with kizzi that having to leave it in attack position would end up getting you as much damage as you can cause in a turn. And, it has some stall potential, but there are so many things that could destroy it that it would be hard to keep out, and thus negate it's worth in a stall deck.

Castle Gate, so the idea is that if he is in ATK mode, the gates are 'open' and both players can deal damage right?

Well, then it's a stupid gate, because you can just burn one monster per turn, while your opponent can storm into the gate and attack your life points directly with all his monsters. Also, if you want to burn, you've got to tribute that monster for some reason :\

And it says original ATK, which just sucks. The lvl 5- monster with high Original ATK I can think of is King of the Skull Servants, especially with the new Servant in LoD.

 

This card would go very well with Spirit Barrier to close the gate for the opponent and open it for youself, and maybe a HoCW to make him a little more invincible, but Vortex is still used much and doesn't target so he would die anyways by that.

don't like this... a bad effect that leaves you attack-open, only worth in defense, but millenuim shield has higher defense... also this card is easy victim of smashing ground and shield crush (which happens to be at least 1 of those 2 on every deck)

 

even the buern effect sucks, to lose field advantage to deal damage is not so good unless you play stall decks... and to be a worth effect a monster over 2400 must be sacrificed... guess what, unless it would be a normal monster or 7-8 stars monster the effect is not worth...

Huh? King's effect changes his original atk so that would work, wouldn't it? Or is it just always the printed atk of the monster?

1 tribute + this monster + Swords + 1 monster to tribute = Crappy burn. Major lulz.

Remember how Call of the Haunted can Special Summon Wildheart?

 

King of the Skull Servant's effect is a Continuous effect, which means it needs to be on the field to work. After being tributed, it's in the graveyard.
