Darj Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 2 Level 4 FIRE monsters You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand, then if it was a monster, this card gains ATK equal to that monster's Level x 100 until your opponent's End Phase. Otherwise, this card gains 500 ATK until the End Phase. You can only use this effect of "Hell Ripper Maakzvel" once per turn. When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Banish all cards discarded by this card's effect from your opponent's Graveyard. In short, an Xyz exclusive for FIRE Decks that hurts the hand. I know that right now FIRE Decks like Fire Fists and, if I am not mistaken, Fire Kings as well are among the top tier and don't really need further support, but that's because this format favours them. In the next format(s) they may be hit and thus won't be as strong as they are now, and at that point this card may even help them to keep up with the meta. In other words, I would like you to rate/review the card disregarding the current popularity of FIRE Decks. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Noel- Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 a decent stat for this kind of effect, well its discarding is really need a luck, u may just discard a fader or even discard a Trag (and even gain only 100 ATK, but it's great to get rid of that annoying card), overall discarding from hand on Xyz body is quite interesting. the only thing I suspect is how this will make those Fire King keep up with meta? this card is nothing for them imo, yea it's a good card and probably a good siding against LS or else, but I think I'll rarely use this if it is released, in game u will find out that u will need another generic R4 effects like 101, Maestroke or Wolf more than this (especially Wolf who can trigger ur own cards' effects) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't know, it's just a possibility. Maybe in the following formats main Deck bosses and/or hand traps become popular, and FIREs would be able to slightly counter them with this card. And I forgot the "this effect can only be activated once per turn" clause, to not even give a chance to loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmaster1991 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 What if you made its DEF 200? It could be used for Rekindling then. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I pass. I don't want to make this card compatible with such abusable card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
