Don Thousand's Throne [ANIME]

[~British Soul~]

 

Spell/Continuous

During the End Phase, if you have received damage during this turn: Gain Life Points equal to the damage you took durings this turn. When an Xyz Monster you control is targeted for an attack by your opponent's monster whose ATK is higher than your Life Points: You can target that Xyz Monster; send this card to the Graveyard, and if you do, negate the attack, and if you do that, it becomes the End Phase of this turn. Then, you can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "C" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to that target also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.)

 

In real life this would be a mid-late game card judging by its second effect, but it's situational though.

 

discuss?

[Maeriberii Haan]

Ehh, kinda situational, and add more potential dead cards in a RUM deck. If this could be easily triggered, then I guess it's playable. Otherwise, I welcome yet another situational plot device card that won't be released ever.

[Toffee.]

SO~
Who's taking bets we get 'Chaos Number 39: Utopia Ray Victory of Chaos'

[Azuh]

I think I'm going to go all out there and say that Don Thousand just has to be the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

[evilfusion]

I'm hoping this doesn't get released. Not for its effects, but because it explicitly references the final antagonist of the Zexal anime by name. That seems like something extremely awkward.

 

The only reason it works is because Vector's comboing it with No.43.

[goddamnit names are a pain]

You can't die unless OTK, unless I read this wrong. Bad Reaction to Simochi. XD

Controlling Phases too. Not really a plot card so much as a better RUM.

[UltimateIRS]

Definitely a card you can sit on.

[Alastar Rainford]

Nb4 release irl and renamed Dark Ruler's Throne or Ha Des' Throne XD

[More than 3 characters]

What, do you want Vector to win with just one card or actually use multiple cards to make his victory?

I don't think you understand what I meant. I mean the card is only as good as it is because Vector has another card that gets a major kick out of the LP gain. Otherwise, it's not very practical, even with the mass stall.

[Sleepy]

This is an interesting concept if it's intended to have a player use a strategy that is able to maintain a constant low amount of Life Points throughout the duration of the Duel in a skillful way.

 

If it's what I think it's actually gonna be (used against overkill anime Xyz bosses that reach 4000+ ATK each turn), it shouldn't be a thing. Stuff like a 23000+ ATK Number 6, or some Hope evolution, or Tachyon/Photon Dragons.

 

Then again, the conditions are fairly easy to fulfill in the anime after the first damage is dealt most of the time.

[evilfusion]

The anime loves burn damage. Inflict burn damage, then attack and whoops...

[Mugendramon]

Definitely a card you can sit on.

 

did you just

 

Yeah basically your opponent can't beat you unless they get rid of this or OTK. And it makes for a reverse heroic deus ex machina transformation when you're about to die.

[Sleepy]

You know the potential reached stats are getting funny when a card asks for monsters with more ATK than a player's Life.

Unless used very late, the idea is making me laugh somehow.

[newhat]

The game is in a strange place when the first effect is considered fair.

[玄魔の王]

The anime loves burn damage. Inflict burn damage, then attack and whoops...

Never average burn though. It's either stupid little amounts or "your blown up monster's ATK".

5Ds was very fond of 800 damage. Like...obsessively fond of it.

 

-Speed World 2

-Every. Single. Yomi. card the Scar-Red Familiar played. Ironically, except his ace monster, which only dealt 600.

-Polar God Thor

[The Warden]

Well, I think they chose 800 because it was 1/5th of their LP, so 4 applications could put them into the danger zone. You also forgot Gatling Ogre and his brothers.

The Reactors. Can't forget them.

[evilfusion]

My point exactly. My list wasn't all inclusive, but the fact two more major examples cropped up...

 

Aslla Piscu's nuke, too (Granted, it only happened once).

 

I know WHY 800 was chosen, but they were absurdly consistent with it. Zexal either does stupid low (Like 300 x something) or for full ATK. Otherwise, they go for 1000 even (Photon Wind, Wrath of Star Seraph, the Masochism card Vector used to burn himself, etc).

[Sleepy]

So Yomis, Speed World 2, Reactors, Asla Piscu, Thor, Gatling Ogre.

There's also Nightmare Archfiend Tokens.

 

I'm sure some more will pop out. The exceptions were Fortune Lady Firey and the Crystal Skull. And whatever burn Crow might have ever played.

5D's was the only consistent one. GX didn't use burn much but it was all over the place (though O'Brien loves 500s and Judai full ATK), and in DM it was very rare.
