Monster Reborn


Recommended Posts

I`ve been thinking about this card a lot.

Most useful limited spell I`ve ever used.

It used to be unlimited until Konami saw how crazily powered it is and limited it. (EDIT: Then it got banned until 2004-10. Thanks British Soul.)

 

It does really useful things, like stealing your opponent`s dead EoTB/other-monster-card or bringing back that 1 monster your opponent just destroyed you now need to Xyz or Synchro Summon. But still, it isn`t totally OP`d, one of the reasons being because you can`t use it on ALL the monsters. Some monsters you need cards like Monster Reincarnation to bring back to the hand because that`s the only place you can Summon them from. Basically if they banned this, almost everyone would ragequit or at least play less.

 

Discuss.

Discuss my stupidity.

So you think that free generic revival that allows you to pretty much grab anything for free, and use it or anything your heart desires, "isn't totally broken", all because it can't grab some monsters? What the hell are you thinking?

1. I said it was ONE of the reasons. Not the only one.

 

2. You making it look like I was calling myself stupid? ... This: What were you thinking doing that.

 

Discuss the card.

 

There, done.



cr47t sure does make insightful threads.

 

...and then it got banned from 2004-2010, which is something I don't think you knew.

 

Yup, I didn`t know that because I didn`t start playing until late `12. And I don`t make the best threads ever.

1. So you're saying that there are more reasons that imply that Monster Reborn isn't broken? Do tell.

 

2. You do look like you're stupid if you say stuff like "Monster Reborn isn't broken because it can't grab some monsters".

This card teached me to hold at least one copy of banned cards you get a hold of, even if you don't expect them to return.

If Pot of Greed comes back @5, I'll be ready.

Sadly, I don't have any Raigeki or HFDs.

 

Anyway, this is one of those rare cases where the English art is better (Ultimate Offering was scary... Dian Keto... just, no...)

I never liked the OCG art, honestly. I always liked the TCG one. Foolish Burial, on the other hand...

 

Card has always been amazing. In this day and age...it's not a fair card. I'm not positive why it's not banned when Call of the Haunted is at 3, but like BLS and Dark Hole, they evidently aren't causing enough fuss.

What if Reborn went to 0, and we got Water of Life in it's place?

I'd rather Monster Reborn be legal tbh. Taking an opponents monster isn't as common as reviving your own, but being able to take an opponents monster is the main thing that makes Reborn good for the game. Without it, there's no viable way for accessing your opponents fallen monsters and they'd never have to worry about that occurring.

Problem with the OP is that Reborn IS broken.

 

It has no cost. It can Special Summon from either player's Graveyard. It's a Spell Card, so it's fast and has limited vulnerability, the Summoned monster can attack, use its effects, be Tributed/Synched/Xyz, there's no drawback to the card whatsoever.

 

The only monsters that can't be revived are the ones that can't be revived by anything. That's a balance on those cards, not on Reborn.

 

If they banned this, people would probably be happier, not unhappier. Reborn is too powerful and good at what it does. Call of the Haunted is much fairer, slower, and has drawbacks and it's allowed at 3 now. It fits into almost any Deck without question, and is not needed for the Decks to thrive. People usually rage when a key card in their Deck is hit, like Tour Guide, Rabbit, Inzektor Hornet, etc.

 

The current format seems to be focused on swarming with monsters ludicrously fast, and Reborn helps this immensely, especially with Solemn Warning bumped down to 1 now.

 

I love the card, but I WANT it to go.

Hey bad players! Instead of insulting the topic creator for making a terrible topic, why not just not post in it? And then report it instead!

Hey people who are actually trying to discuss! Stay classy!

tl;dr - Topic closed. Really not much to discuss. It's a silly overpowered card. Could it be more overpowered? Yeah, it could make you draw 2 and add up to three Left Leg, Right Leg, Left Arm, Right Arm and Exodia the Forbidden One from your deck, grave, RFG or card binder to your hand.
