Recommended Posts

Number48ShadowLich-VB16-JP-OP.png

 

Rank 3 Dark

Zombie/Xyz/Effect

2 Level 3 monsters
Once per turn, during your opponent's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon ? "Phantom Tokens" (DARK/Fiend-Type/Level 3/ATK 500/DEF 500). While you control a "Phantom Token", this card cannot be targeted for an attack. This card gains 500 ATK for each "Phantom Token" you control.
ATK/1800 DEF/0

 

? am guessing will be 2...
 

Still interesting how if you get 4 tokens out it basically becomes a 3800 beater.

1800/0 and as I said 4 tokens with it make it a 3800 beater...

 

I stopped reading your thing halfway down the page. Just before that part.

 

The issue with it is: If it's only two tokens, you use the effect, it becomes a 2800 beater, your opponent slaps one of the tokens most likely, and you are stuck at 2300, which is below the curve of stuff you need to hit over.

 

I'm not going to say it's bad because it's token reliant. But I'll say it's bad for being token reliant for a minor attack boost. Even if it adds up.

 

I mean if it's 4 tokens per material detached, it's really good. But if it's only two which is likely, it just feels meh to me.

It created 4 in the manga, so I wouldn't be surprised if it did the same irl. Especially since creating 4 Tokens but having your boss be destroyable by cards effects is relevant.

The card's worth is literally down to how many Tokens it can spawn

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they nerf'd it to only spawn out 2 tokens tbh.

On another note if the previous VB promos (69 and 88 as well as 11 and 16) are anything to go by, either this or Dragoascension will be released in a booster whilst the other will be a JUMP promo, or perhaps they'll both be released in a booster.

>Can't be targeted for an attack while you control a Phantom Token
...Had a feeling it would end up like that.
I mean, the manga effect was flat-out ridiculous, so this is as close to it as we can get. Or something like that.

Yeah, the manga version was flat-out ridiculous. "Oh you wanna kill me? Too bad! Wa- I'm just gonna spawn out my own Magical Hats and you'll just have to find me mwa-haha."

I can now safely say that this is the best Rank 3 monster without suffering from any reprocussions.

No, you can't.

 

It depends on the tokens.

 

If it says up to 4, it's up there with Leviair, though not certainly best.

If it says 4, it's as good as Leviathan Dragon for a starter. Inflexible, though, so not near as good as Leviair.

If it says 3, it's awkward, but has Synchro Shenanigans. Same for up to 3, but up to is better.

If it says 2, it's still good for EEV Fodder with Synchro Shenanigans. Same for up to 2, but up to is better.

Maybe you guys forgot, but the tokens could be targets for other monsters and there is a limit to how many can be made.

Thank you, captain really blatantly obvious. We didn't realize.

 

I mean, it's not like a generic starter at 2800/3300/3800 that spawns fuel for Synchros and Tributes could ever be good, right?
