Triangle Evolve [ANIME]

Some sort of IRS with a "must Xyz Summon" clause? That might work.

Shock Master only needs one turn to change a game hugely into one players favour, if not win it for them. One turn of not being able to respond in some decks, can be the same as skipping a turn.

 

Sorry... Number 92? Or hell, Super Galaxy Robo Destroyer? Both of those are game changing, the former doesn't care about losing attack, and will still be able to resurrect, whilst the latter becomes a unchainable heavy, on a 4k body.

 

With a heavy heavy nerf, it could get a release, anything else creates way to many bad combo's, that shouldn't have to exist.

 

EDIT: Just a thought, but if this thing was released but got given the same clause as other cards like it, so you fetch copies of it from certain places, what's the view on it then?

 

still bad because then it basically becomes machine dupe/inferno reckless for ANY monster, which is hugely problematic in its own right, and theres no easy way to restrict it other than just not making the card to begin with.

I don't see the "use other copies" technique as helping. They have enough issue with the "counts as 2" anime effect. Using the same idea for 3 is just...worse. For the game.

Did you actually read what I said? I explained why the Shock Master play is sub-par, and arguably bad.

 

NGEPD is pretty much the only decent play this card has at this point, outside of maybe a Heavy Machinery play, which would still be meh most of the time and not problematic.

2 cards to prevent your opponent from using an entire mechanic for a turn is pretty freaking broken.

Everyone knows that, if they were to print it in real life, it wouldn't have this effect; it would have an effect that Special Summons two other monsters with the same name from the hand, Deck and/or Graveyard with 0 ATK and effects negated. Konami has made that the adaptation on cards like Double Lance and Photon Caesar, and I doubt they'll start actually printing that effect now.

As such, Barbaros -> Giantrainer would work as explained earlier, if made and made the way Konami would make it, and this would be rather broken. In other words, it would fit into the game state as the game state currently is.

[玄魔の王]

Every effect from the anime to duplicate materials gets turned into summoning more monsters for the OCG. Thus, I think it would end up like this:

 

[quote="Triangle Evolve"]

Target 1 face-up Level 5 or higher monster you control; Special Summon 2 Monsters with the same name from your hand, Deck or Graveyard, then when this card revolves immediately Xyz Summon 1 Xyz Monster using those monsters as Xyz Material. That Xyz Monster loses 1000 ATK. You cannot summon other monsters this turn. You can only activate 1 "Trinagle Evolve" per turn.[/quote]

 

And as many of you may have noticed, that's really no better. This card simply cannot be made without being nerfed to the point of being obsolete. Anybody else notice it would turn Trag into Galaxy Destroyer?
