RC, Y U NO HAVE ACTIVITY?! [Toyo Single]

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

I suppose I'm not really helping the lack of activity by simply making a thread complaining about it instead of going out there and reviewing stuff but still, RC is supposed to be full of fun and joy! Now it's just full of blergh and ergh. We need more life here, people. Bring some Phoenix Down or the Dragon Balls or something. 

 

 

 

 

i might even re-make that Xyz Daily thing from several months ago. At least that generated activity....

Intriguing. It sort of needs to be run in a deck with both synchros and Xyzs (here's looking at you, Mermails). It's a nice way to recycle an Xyz in your grave in a way that couldn't normally be done.

 

The only thing is, does this actually add anything to the Synchro mechanic? Is it not faster run any of the various synchro tailored cards over this? The limit of effect and the fact that Xyzs take you two cards of the same level that would have been perfectly good for a synchro anyway, makes this a tricky one to judge. Nice concept, not so sure about the execution.

Just something that lets you Synchro with Xyzs TBH and like you said, it's a nice way to recycle Xyzs.

Sure, it's nice in that respect. I personally wouldn't use it over focusing on more Xyzs, but that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't. If nothing else, it offers you some extra options if you need another move to pull.

 

On a side note, I'd like to see more cards that use Xyzs as synchro material. You could pull out low rank Xyzs, in order to get a higher level Synchro. Might need some work however, as Xyzs don't have tuners and even if they did, they only equate to the same level as the monsters used. Forget I said anything.

The reason I am not making many cards is because I am currently messing around with Judas and Zextra's photoshop template, and I don't want to post anything until I get it just right.
Anyways onto the card: Toyo, you make good cards at times, though your OCG is some of the worst I have seen for someone with +1000 posts who actually posts frequently. Have you ever tried going into the "About OCG" sometimes? It would help greatly. Anyways here's my fix: (removing the once per turn part since it makes no sense since once per tun only applies to monsters on the field, and adding a "only... once per turn" as that makes more sense) You can banish this card from (simply change) your hand (not capitalize) and 1 (no reason to say other as this card is not an Xyz Monster) Xyz Monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck (only put parentheses on things that Special Summon themselves) whose Level is equal to the this card's Level + the Rank of the banished (banish and banished are not capitalized) Xyz Monster (Ranks are treated as Levels for this effect (added this so it's clearler to the player, things in parentheses are typicly infomation giving to the player). That monster's effects (no reason to say effects, unless you're refereing to the fat that something where to negate multiple effects rather than simply one specific one) are negated. You can only use the effect of "Half-Drive" once per turn. (Added this for it to make sense).

 

I don't find this really all that useful there's not many Xyz Decks with Synchros I find, typicly you would want to use only one. I find that making it a Tuner by itself is unfair, since you can use this in your hand and if it was on the field. It's low stats compensate for this I suppose, though you won't give your opponent the chance to attack this at all. It's like Effect Veiler, still a Tuner, but will never be used for that unless got it into your hand by luck to be able to make something. Not that I don't like the idea, but really I don't think I would ever use something like this, and because it negates it just seems pretty meh. If your Xyz is in your Grave, you're probably on your knees for the most part, and you need to make sure you got a Level 6 for it to work easily, as higher level Xyzs are harder to make consistently, and for that matter most Synchro Monsters need 2 monsters for them to be effective, so that means that this is only ever going to be like a around 2200-2500, while still okay, is not as good as it could be if you made it so you could banish multiple Xyz Monsters for this effect. I also don't think a concept like treating Xyz Monsters' Ranks as Levels exists yet, so this should really be in AoC, though prove me wrong. Has potential, but I find it meh right now.

Most of the time, this would give you a Level 5 Synchro, though you could also get Level 6. There are cheap beatsticks at either level. There's no drawback to turning this into Gaia Knight, and you could still get the effect of Sirius.

 

There's no cheap Level 5 cantrip since Tech Genus Wonder Magician and Power Gladiator activate on the field, but Wonder Magician is a Tuner. And since this doesn't use up your Normal Summon, this could make some odd Quasars with Level Eater. I can't think of a method now, so that's OK.

It's an ok card. I expected it to make Black Rose into a generic field blow up for Xyzs that doesn't use your Normal Summon, but then I saw it's Level and frowned.

It can turn Gustaph Max into Quasar just for the sheer power and the Shooting Star Summon.. though that's overkill since Gustaph is usually a game ender on itself anyways.

 

Or you can Book of Moon your Quasar and Flip Summon it to have it now Summoned by something that doesn't negate it =P

 

Err anyways... anyways, the card looks balanced to me.

 

 

 

I still think Konami's next step in power creep is to make Xyz Tuners and create Synchros with Ranks, just to show off.

That would be fun, but also would be silly as all hell. Maybe a Zexal X 5D's movie that introduces this, that would be neat.

 

OP: Didn't think if flipping it, using CotH as well could make it playable again, though that's not as easy.

Call of the Haunted would be a bit different. This card doesn't [b]Synchro[/b] Summon the monster, so it's not revivable.

 

and I think being able to Special Summon more than twice per turn decently sized monsters consistently and without losing advantage is already kinda ridiculous, but I also see your point xD

Oh, I thought that only applied if they were not summoned properly. Guess I learned something new.

For Synchros/Xyzs/Fusions/Rituals in general that is the case xD

That's exactly what I'm saying, this thread's card doesn't Summon the Synchro properly.

Though, *goes look at Shooting Quasar*

It also happens that Quasar is a nomi on itself (it's just interesting coincidence).... I really hadn't thought about that bit...
