Guest PikaPerson01 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm serious. I only like Decoy Dragon for his adorable artwork! ^_^ His effect sucks more then a vacuum cleaner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well it could be usefull if you had a strong level 7 or higher monster in your Graveyard (Sarcasm) but I love the artwork like PikaPerson said it is so cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaos Pudding Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The only, and I mean ONLY, way that this card would be useful is if they errata'd it so that its effect activated while it was face-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should that be the case, it would be a fairly good addition to many dragon decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facedown monsters have no effects. They'd have to completely mess with the rules and all that jazz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah. The only way I could see it working would be how Big Shield Gardna negates NoC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 By making this card a FLIP monster, will make it still dodgey... unless it goes back into face-down defence again to use its effect once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaos Pudding Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 "If this card is flipped face-up as a result of battle, you may Special Summon 1 Level 7 or greater Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard. That monster becomes the target of the attack. Flip this card face-down at the end of the Battle Phase." Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyako Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Frankly, i'm a little surprised. Everyone is bashing on it as a bad card. I see some good potential there.The probably of someone being able to remember each and every card placed in the graveyard is very slim. You can pull out a surprise.Not only that, because it's effect can only be activated if it's attacked, it forces an opponent to waste a Spell or Trap card to get rid of it unless they want to battle a powerful Dragon monster. And if anyone knows anything about Dragon monsters, they tend to have to highest Attack Rating of them all.So, honestly, I don't see what's so bad about it.

At best, this card is just another Marshmallon/Spirit Reaper, and at worst it's a Level 2 monster with 300 ATK and 200 DEF. No opponent in their right mind would attack a face-up Decoy Dragon without first looking at their opponent's Graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No opponent in their right mind would attack a face-up Decoy Dragon without first looking at their opponent's Graveyard. Please learn to read. Of course no one would! That means there's only one choice: Destroy it with a Spell, Trap, or Monster Effect, but that's a waste, is it not?So your opponent faces a dilemma, Attack and battle a powerful dragon, or waste a Spell, Trap, or Monster Effect on it? It may not be good with an effect like that, but the nonetheless, effect like that stops an opponent in his/her tracks, and makes him/her think. @AzuhYou'll have to explain to me what "vortexing" is.

I see some good potential there.[/quote'] The card is terrible. The probably of someone being able to remember each and every card placed in the graveyard is very slim. You can pull out a surprise. Except no one has to remember anything. At any point your opponent can ask to look at your graveyard. Not only that, because it's effect can only be activated if it's attacked, it forces an opponent to waste a Spell or Trap card to get rid of it unless they want to battle a powerful Dragon monster. And if anyone knows anything about Dragon monsters, they tend to have to highest Attack Rating of them all. Seriously, Reaper and Marshmallon are much better choices then this, and don't require a theme deck. So, honestly, I don't see what's so bad about it. learn2play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
