Lonk Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 [quote]You can banish this card from your Graveyard to target 1 Psychic-Type Xyz Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. Its effects are negated. You can only use the effect of "Heraldic Beast Unicorn" once per turn.[/quote] Perks of this card include: -Beast-type -LIGHT -Can't be Bottomless'd -Brings back beaters from the Grave (if only the Rank 4 Psychic-type Xyz Monster Pool was more diverse) This is my 3rd favorite monster in the Heraldic Beast archtype. You could say that he's like a Vayu that summons from the Grave, which should show his his merits. Also, he reminds me of Shining Armor for some weird reason. Discuss.

evilfusion Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Right now, there are only 5 targets. Armor Kappa, a Rank 2 Coat of Arms, a Rank 4 Number 8, a Rank 4 Number 74, a Rank 7 Chronomaly Chrononaut, a Rank 3 Negating the effects is what hurt this card. Number 69 and Number 8 are the best targets in Heraldic Decks, but with their effects negated, they're just beatsticks and nothing more. Being LIGHT is okay, Beast doesn't really help that much unless you're using Horn of the Phantom Beast or similar in the Heraldic Deck. This could become better if C69 gets released with a good effect, as it's very easy for Heraldic Decks to Summon Rank 4s and accumulate Heraldic Beasts in the Graveyard, so bringing back Coat of Arms and then using Rank-Up Magic for C69 would be awesome. You can already do similar using Limited Barian's Force on Number 8 to get C106 with its effect. Yeah...I like using Rank-Up Magic in Heraldics. Advanced Heraldry Art brings out Utopia easily. LIGHT gives access to Light specific Xyz like Paradynamo or Omega, but it's inferior to WIND for Chidori, and Chidori is an evil card in Heraldics with things like Call of the Haunted and Twin-Headed Eagle.

Wildflame Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I find it ok as a 1-of. You are not going to use its effect in a lot of duels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Don't forget Evil, this can bring back C69 itself, as a 4K beater never hurt. Now if only there were more RNK4 Psychics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast-type for Chain Dog shenanigans, which are very effective towards the Deck's goal. Also, just getting a 2400 or 2600 beatstick out of the Grave can lead to victory.

evilfusion Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Oh, it definitely has merits, although we'd want to see C69 before noting how awesome this will become for reviving it, assuming the lack of "cannot be Special Summoned by other ways". Bringing back beatsticks is great when clinching victory, but Unicorn requires you to invest in those Xyz specifically at some point just to justify running it as a tech. I don't always Summon Coat of Arms or Number 8 in all my Heraldic Duels, depending on situation, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Number 74, a Rank 7Considering Leo, Cockatrice, and Eale are EARTHs, you could run Reactan/Redox to make Number 74.Cuz', at the same time, Number 74 is a Unicorn Target....Dunno' why you would make a deck like that, though, as it's kinda' wonky.

Lonk Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Redox engine does not work for the deck unfortunately. Sure he's a monster reborn and he dumps dead monsters to the Grave, but he causes too much hand advantage to be lost for a simple move like that. I still cannot stress out the importance of Chain Dog in Heraldic Beast Xyz. He makes Unicorn's eff more live for me anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 A little helper particularly in Rank 4 decks like Heraldics, is Wind-Up Zenmaister. That is, granted that your revived beatstick survives a turn so you can immediately flip it back up when you do it. I'm waiting for C69 for this card to really be awesome. Other than that, it has advantages. I tech Honest in Heraldics, because the Extra Deck does count with plenty of LIGHTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
