Number 44: Sky Pegasus

[Azuh]

 

1800 / 1600

 

Beast-Type

 

2 Level 4 monsters

 

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; destroy it, unless your opponent pays 1000 Life Points to negate this effect.

 

Oh lordy, It lost all of its actual goodness...

[Just Crouton]

It's a Horn target, and that old Beast Stun deck I made can run it along with with Dire Wolf. What's the beef with horse meat in it?

[-Berserker-]

It's not fun anymore.

[Cute Rotten Yoshika]

except now its balanced. that old effect was horrendous. s:

[Blake]

Doesn't technically double detach, no longer care when Cowboy/Dire Wolf do it better,

[Canopy Star - Eon Sphere]

Damn it! Just... KONAMI!!!

 

They took an interesting card, with an effect that supported Numbers, and another that encouraged some sort of restraint of use of some cards (The Solemn Bros, mainly).

 

This... is terrible. There's not much else to say.

[Sleepy]

I'm dissapointed. Was looking forward to equipping it to so much stuff.

Now it's just a low-ATK Rank 4 with a destruction effect that can easily be negated. It's a pseudo-burn card.

except, again, that burn was really awful design and removed interaction from the game by punishing players for trying to use their own cards normally.

 

losing the equip effect was genuinely sad, ill give you that. but the burn absolutely needed to go.

[Jord200]

Why Konami? Why? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SUCK AND BORING?!

[~British Soul~]

I say Good Riddance to the burn effect to be quite honest, but I can't believe they too away the equip effect too, that's so boring Konami.

[Northern Sage]

Wow, Konami. That is terrible.

[Cute Rotten Yoshika]

to be fair, chain dog decks can still use this to field a bunch of monsters and deal up to 3k damage (or remove monsters to be able to attack directly) in a neat and fun lil way.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

The equip effect was pretty awesome.

And the destruction effect on this card is now rather meh.

[Toffee.]

chain dog decks can still use

Except you can't keep on spamming Pegasus if they lack monsters.
Regardless, the fact they could do up to 3000 damage is still pretty hilarious.

well yes, but if they have more than one monster youll find it hard to wipe them ALL out with pegasus. which allows the cycle to continue.

Actually in that scenario it would also depend on what sort of monster they have out.
Like if your up against Zenmain, they would only really take like 1000 damage and then detach the other 2 materials.

of course. but the general point im making is, barring either a very smart player or a very pathetic field, youll likely be able to loop it.

Just Pegasus their Life Points to death first, then Dire-Loop whatever is remaining.
....
Chain Dog needs a better card to speed it up, that isn't Foolish Burial/Summoner Monk

[evilfusion]

This card lost everything that made it cool. It doesn't deal damage whenever your opponent pays LP (understandably, this is because Solemn Judgment = you lose the Duel and Solemn Warning = -4000 LP). But it also lost the equip effect that hasn't actually been used in the anime yet. This is just a generic Rank 4 Number that is inferior to Number 50.

If you're up against Zen you can just Black Corn it though.
