Azuh Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 From the Org... [Once per turn,] You can Tribute 1 monster; inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the Tributed monster's ATK on the field. [You can only use the effect of "Catapult Turtle" once per turn] Either one of these effects is legit Looks like Mario stomped on this turtle, amirite? Guise?...

Loyalist Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 1) Launch any monster at the opponent's castle to disrupt it's flotation ring. 2) Destroy all their monsters. 3) Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 They slapped on a restriction on this guy? Didn't expect that, though I wonder if there was a reason why they did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werewolfjedi Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 it's for pen summons, I can spam 4 every turn once I set that up for anything with 6 on the high side so I can drop it along with. then I'd shoot them all at opponent's face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 do this to brian ackles so i can do the humpty dump on the himpy dinkle but seriously please errata brionac if it was once per turn then it wouldn't deserve the ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 They should have errata'd it's level to 4 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingdom Xathers Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 If they're going this far to errata Catapult Turtle, they should go and errata Dark Strike Fighter, as well. ... huh, so if they're going that far back to overhaul certain effects....

Sleepy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 They should have errata'd it's level to 4 as well Pendulum Summon will probably make that pointless. OT: If they can errata cards to downright change the ways they work so notoriously, they could pretty much get rid of the banlist altogether or reduce it to around 15 or so cards max. For the sake of getting to use X cards again, I like this, but for the sake of actually trying not to confuse newbies with cards printed with different effects, if feels kind of cheap to me. Even other TCGs say that if a card should be errata'd, it's much more less confusing and practical to make a new card to replace it and be done with it. Next is Cannon Soldier, Toon Cannon Soldier, Mass Driver, BLS to only affect face-ups or downs, Yata Garasu "You can only activate the effect of Yata Garasu once every 3 turns", Monster Reborn to "the monster cannot attack this turn", Makyura the Destructor to "1 Trap Card from your hand". Tribe-Infecting Viruz to "Once while face-up on the field". Sinister Serpent to "If there are no other Sinister Serpent in your possession". etc. Because why the hell not? The reason Catapult got that treatment is because Pendulum Monsters can quickly turn into "Special Summon 5 monsters from the Extra Deck every turn at no cost".

Slinky Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 The big one would probably be DSF. That getting an OPT clause would make it extremely fair. And I happened to like the card too, because I really did like the reactors and their lulzy shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas★Zero Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wait so they gave Catapult Turtle a Once per turn, and effect per copy can only be used once per turn... "IF KONAMI CAN DO THIS! WHY NOT STRATOS TO BALANCE IT AND SO IT CAN COME BACK AT 3!!!" sorry couldn't resist myself... OT: Depending on what Pendulum Summon produces this could come back just to recycle your already destroyed Pendulum Monsters for a continues wave of damage each turn since Pendulum Monsters can summon ones that were destroyed and sent to the Extra Deck if am correct.

Sleepy Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 haven't we realized that they are allowed to f*** with anything they want to? This^ It's not so much that they "couldn't", but now it raises the question of "If Catapult Turtle can have it why can't my favorite X card be spared as well?". Seriously why is Catapult Turtle so important that Konami would errata it before taking the preventive measure of just banning it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMoC haven't we realized that they are allowed to f*** with anything they want to? They do, but this is the first time they have errata'd something so old (if I'm not mistaken), so I think my surprise is understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think they're reprinting this in the Anniversary or whatever it's called. That gave them the perfect time to errata some of the cards that weren't problematic when first introduced, but later found ways to break them. By making these types of errata on SOME (not all cards, because that'd cause confusion to the extreme) cards, they can restore those cards to their originally intended, non-abusable "glory". I fully expect Cannon Soldier/Toon Cannon to get similar treatment. When they were first printed, Tributing a monster for a small amount of burn was steep.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Reworking a card because it can suddenly do things? Learn from mistakes, not reword bad cards. If you are doing this then we need to reword all the other "good cards." But it really isn't needed. I was going to put something witty and sarcastic here but I realized how not witty I am.

Darj Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Suddenly, Konami declares that all [Once per turn] clauses are now treated as [You can only use the effect of "(insert card name here)" once per turn]. I would be fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was going to put something witty and sarcastic here but I realized how not witty I am. Oh good, you're self-aware. Changing card effects is usually a bad idea, but Catapult is bad anyway, so...if Pendulum Summoning breaks Catapult, than maybe Pendulum Summoning is a bad mechanic.
