Temple of the Kings, maybe the dumbest card in existence.


Recommended Posts

The hell were they thinking? I mean, even at the time, this card was just mindblowing out of the park stupid design. MSoF had an actual pretty nice idea towards it for the time, but it should not have a horribly broken and badly designed Spell to keep it alive. Sigh.

This card, it's terri-bad.

Who thought it was a good idea to activate traps during your turn, and then pull a monster from practically anywhere?

Sure, Special Summon from your Extra Deck; because, you know, that's fine. Treat your traps like spells? Go for it!

 

I hope it stays dead forever.

MSoF? I'm not sure what that stands for, though context implies Mystical Beast of Serket, but the acronym doesn't fit.

 

The problem was that a lot of Trap draw power was balanced by being Trap Cards, like Jar of Greed and even Reckless Greed. This card laughed as such naive thoughts, the same way as Makyura. Without Trap draw cards, the ability to use Traps the turn you Set them wouldn't be QUITE as bad. It still would be terrible for the game, to use Counter Traps and the like the turn you Set them, but it wouldn't have infinite draw potential.

 

The fact Serket relies on this to live completely ruined Serket's potential, much like how Butterfly Dagger prevents Elma from being played (although Serket would have at least been more fun), and the 2nd effect of Temple was amusing and gave Serket even more fun stuff, even if said stuff is broken the same way Metamorphosis and Cyber-Stein is.

I really loved Serket considering I had ran a slightly altered Marik deck for the longest, but I'll admit, Cathedral of Nobles is crazy... What is the name of that machine card that is just like Mystical Beast Serket though? It slipped my mind.

 

You may be thinking of Emes the Infinity, a Level 7 2500 Machine that gained 700 ATK when it destroyed monsters.

 

But the real Serket imitator is Millennium Scorpion, a 2000 ATK Level 5/6 that gained 500 when it killed monsters.

Thank you for the idea.
