Βyakuya Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 This would be funny to side against a good Heraldic Beast deck. Or maybe even side in Heraldics. And the lighthouse can prevent other burn effects...but just once. Cards like these would be fun and interesting to add to the game, but will it be worth it?

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 The names make it sound like something so much cooler. Even if D.D. Battlefield only affected the opponent in the first place it wouldn't be good, so there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Personally, I love the artwork on Battlefield, what with it being a graveyard for aircraft carriers and all.And then Lighthouse, on the other hand, is also a broken down lighthouse so it keeps up with the motif of Battlefield and just makes an interesting pair.Concept wise, they are cool as hell. Gameplay wise; Kinda' weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Also, it's good to note that even if the card ever became meta, it has its own internal counter, so even if it were good people could easily make it useless with one card.

evilfusion Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The problem with Sargasso is that players have 8000 LP. And Decks are too fast. In the anime, with 4000 LP, and players usually only having 1 or 2 key Xyz Monsters and very few ways to spam-spam-spam-OTK means that the burn hurts a LOT and adds up very quickly. I love that Lighthouse searches Sargasso, though. It's a nice addition to the pair other than a mere gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I feel that these cards are very "Fan-Fiction" to be honest. I was surprised they were released, although it gives me hope that one day they'll release "Chaos Field" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Lighthouse seems like a great way to bait MST, but as stated before it's way too slow to do anything effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I was surprised this got released as-is. No changes, no improvements. No additional effects, no increased burn. Nothing. The theme was really cool. In-play, it's not worth it. Even arguably. Pure burn towards something like Xyz Summoning is pretty much one of the problems Shock Master has. Punishing a deck for having a certain playstyle that often can't really be changed. Though this one instead of being broken for the game, has the problem of being just a burning card and nothing else. Destined to either be not worth it or broken depending on the amount of burn given. Either way it'd be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Actually, Battlefield got a slight nerf: the anime version says "Special Summoned", not "Xyz Summoned". Also, Lighthouse didn't have the search effect in the anime, and could only respond to Sargasso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I read this title as "Sargento" and I was like... ...I'm in the mood for grilled cheese now.... Burn defense card is situational as hell, D.D. Battlefield is trollsy as an anti-meta source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 This card is pretty much destined for mediocrity for the get-go.If Xyz summons are super popular enough for this to warrant use, then this card would see increased play. But a smart player would realize that if this card was recieving increased play, they'd stop playing Xyzs so much.Ultimately, too little burn for a pretty easy effect to get around.

Βyakuya Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 It would be a general consensus that cards like Sargasso would not do very well in the current game. It adds Burn some additional potential, but if Konami were to release more of these, maybe it can lighten up a duel by some LP loss like in the anime. And this card was for sure well executed in the 3-way Barian showdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 maybe it can lighten up a duel by some LP loss like in the anime. Lightening up? In my Yugioh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 The way the card was used in the anime is fundamentally different from the actual card. First off, in the anime it was a field effect from their dimension, not an actual card, so the Varians didn't lose a card playing it. They also already knew about it when they lured Yuma et al there, which gave them unfair advantage. Also, anime decks are cripplingly reliant on Xyz, whereas the present format is Synchro and Xyz in equal parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Also the starting Life Points in the anime are half of ours, so they have less time to win before the Field Spell burns them to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom Xathers Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm almost tempted to make a Written Archetype that relates to this, but... *shrugs* May need help with it, in any case. But yeah, this is rather slow, in terms of Burn (by itself). There's also the fact that not all decks will utilize Xyz Monsters, depending on the playstyle.

Βyakuya Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Burn damage in the anime is taken too seriously. "I activate Sky Pegasus' Effect!" "Either I take 1000 damage or destroy Hope?!" "Yuma, take 1000. We can use H-" "1000!?! But every life points Count" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
