Trishula's got some competition (Nakana, the Reaper of Souls)

[Sora1499]

So, the banlist is legit, and Trishula is going to be a big problem again.

 

SO, the ultimate out to Trishula...  Is one of its own kind!  A new generic level 9 synchro monster has arrived, Nakana the Reaper of Souls!  Nakana has 2800 ATK, which is juuust enough to climb over Trish, and if it does, it banishes her so that your opponent can't revive it!  

 

Also, if your field presence was wrecked by Trish, Nakana solves that!  Hand empty due to Trish's banishing effect?  No worries!  Nakana allows you to draw whenever it climbs over something!

 

...

 

Do I sound like a Konami executive yet?

 

But srsly, Nakana is a cool card and you should comment because I say so and I am your lord and master.

 

Comment, review, rate, hate, whatever.  Enjoy!

[spoiler='Make room in your extra deck this format for Nakana, the Reaper of Souls!']1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Monsters destroyed by battle with this card are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard. Whenever this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle and causes it to leave the field, this card gains 500 ATK (until your next Standby Phase), then you can activate 1 of the following effects:
*Destroy 1 card on the field.
*Draw 1 card.[/spoiler]

First, the banishing effect. It is really great in today's meta, banishing Garunix, Trishula, and a Chicken lying after a Horse Prince play is great. The ATK gaining effect being a defensive effect is good, and the draw/destroy effect is nice. One thing that I'm unsure about this card is the material requirement. This being generic 1 Tuner + 1 or more non tuner seems too powerful, since this already does one too many things. With protection, this monster will win games. It doesn't need to be ridiculously easy to summon, and many deck can use one card to make this. So i think 1 Tuner + 2 or more non tuner should be fine.

 

Assuming the above summoning condition, this and trishula will compete both on deck space and summoning. This is better on occasion since this is not limited, but most of the time with the above summoning restriction you'll summon thrishula first before this card since trishula is too good to pass, making this a bit of a lose-lose situation on both scenario(making it 1 non tuner make this broken, 2 non tuner make this outclassed by trish for the first drop).

 

Still, with or without the fix, I like the card. It's a powerful card when used right, exerts continuous pressure on the board, and it removes problem cards from your opponent. Not to mention the art for the card, it just fits perfectly.

 

Overall, I give the card 9/10. The summoning condition made the card 1 point short from becoming perfect.

But it's all my opinion though, that can be wrong at times. You are free to disagree with me about this review.

If you're making this with more than 1 non-tuner, you're doing it with a level 5+ monster, so I think you deserve to make it on a -1 if you're doing so. However, if more people agree with you, I might very well do so. Thanks for the review!

Ah yeah, forgot that most pure synchro decks doesn't able to pull things like Masked Chameleon into a level 5 or debris. Sorry for that part. This will be a very interesting card in lesser used decks such as level 5 Box of Friends and Steelswarms. Or in meta decks, Dragon ruler with a level 2 tuner, or Monarch with a level 3, or Teus/Leed/Megalo + Diva, or in Dragunities. It might be fine, it might not.

Only place where I'll worry about this card is Teus+Diva and dragunity. Still a great card though.

I agree with 2 non-Tuners, and no, 1 wouldn't have to be 5 or higher. Why do you imagine that?

Most Trishula plays, atleast that I see, stem from Level 3s or 2, 3, and 4. Some people run Kiganjou for the Summoning requirements just because he breaks the 3000 threshold, I don't think this card should compete on the Kiganjou division of Level 9 Synchros as this card clearly outclasses the sort of "boundaries" Konami placed on Level 9 Synchros that require 1 non-Tuner.

With the above said, however, it could be a "pushed" card by Konami to sell a set, as decks that can go Lv. 9 Synchro would have to run it or be ran over by it with those requirements.

Otherwise, perfect. It still has cases where it is a great Trish follow-up. Banishing, becoming 3300, and getting yet another plus to back up the destroy (+2 on battle destroying with a boost) is good.
