~British Soul~ Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Machine/Xyz/Effect 3 Level 9 DARK monsters Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. When this card destroys a monster(s) by battle or by its effect: Draw 1 card. If this card is Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings", it gains this effect. ●Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material; place 1 String Counter on 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. ● Once per turn: You can destroy all monsters on the field with String Counters, and if you do, inflict damage to the controller(s) equal to the combined original ATK of each of their destroyed monsters. So obvs the idea is to Rank up Number 40 after you use its effect and then kill them all in the same turn. discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 EDIT: You edited yours, so I edit mine. This thing would be awesome if it generated its own String Counters as well, and I hope they give it that ability when it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

玄魔の王 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Such a sweet effect, only thing to make it better would be gaining its own cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It's a shame you can't draw multiple cards off this guy's effect. That would have been so sugoi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Well, you do get the draw off killing stuff by battle, so if they have a monster not destroyed by the effect (Sparkdust anyone) you'll make up for it. Also, we don't have the lore, so it may count individual monsters (it doesn't help its effect killed one monster in the anime). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It's actually pretty amusing how Ranking up Strings will result in a means of an instant nuke(Well, more or less). That aside, I like how it nets you draws along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Odds this has one more effect are good, seeing as neither existing effect needs to detach. If the last one it a detach to produce String Counters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 This is actually very solid. Number 40's greatest drawback is the delay, because it has to still be on the Field when the opponent's turn ends in order to nuke monsters and burn, and C40 gives a method of immediately destroying, burning, and drawing a card. In addition, even just taking Number 40 into account, those String Counters never vanish, even if Number 40 leaves the Field. So if you use its effect, then it's destroyed before the next turn ends, those String Counters just sit there uselessly forever. Unless you revive Number 40 and Rank-Up it, then suddenly, those lingering counters hurt. I'd like it to work IRL like Phoenix Formation. It'll destroy all the monsters, but burn for the highest ATK. And also, to not need Number 40 as the Overlay, and instead use any Number/Xyz. Why? Because the only card that produces String Counters is Number 40. You have to be using it anyway. Alternatively, C40 should also produce String Counters in exchange for Overlay Units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The added destroy-everything-with-String-Counters effect would only make sense as a gained effect if you DID Rank it up with Strings. I mean, This card has no actual way of producing the counters itself, so it seems silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, This card has no actual way of producing the counters itself, so it seems silly. That's why I said it could use a buff by being able to produce its own counters. Such as "Once per turn, you can detach 1 to activate 1 of the following effects: -Place a String Counter on one (all) face-up monsters. -Destroy all (one) face-up monster with String Counters and burn them good. More than 500 LP apiece." Considering that you HAVE to use Barian's Force or Numeron Force to Summon this (unless Argent Chaos Force is released without a Type requirement), using a Level 8 Machine means you're unlikely to use a non-Gimmick Puppet. But forcing you to use Number 40 seems dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is this the RL effect? If so, I'd think it wouldn't have the Numbers clause. (Also, I totally called it) Or did the anime effect just get a full lore reveal to show it can add String Counters to 1 monster? And if it destroys all monsters and burns, I notice it burns the controllers of those monsters. Meaning if you needed No. 40's effect before Ranking Up, and one of your monsters gets caught in the blast, you'll take damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Aww...yeah, it's a solid Rank-Up card. Hopefully, the RL version will be similar, because No. 40 is just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Only nerf I want irl version to have is the burn effect, because being able to burn your opponent for all of their monsters' attack is pretty rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
