Suibon Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Chronomaly" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Chronomaly Nebra Disk". If this card is in your Graveyard and all face-up monsters you control are "Chronomaly" monsters (min. 1): You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. You cannot activate cards or effects the turn you activate this effect, except "Chronomaly" cards. You can only use 1 "Chronomaly Nebra Disk" effect per turn, and only once that turn. Because Stratos wasn't a good enough combo piece. Or because Stratos is old as shit. Or because Chronomaly just needed a Treeborn for all the R4 Exceed plays that ever were. Or because -- -- yeah, discuss how it's borked in its own deck and cannot be anything but, Konami's Ruler-tender mercies notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Chronomaly needed a better monster line-up, and they got a single really powerful monster that pushed them to Tier 1 status in the OCG. Given how much I like OOPArts, I can't say I mind this development, but I can see why it's not the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Because giving Chronomalys, an Archetype of pure OTK-enabling nazis, a combination Stratos/Treeborn Frog.Makes perfect sense/Konami.Yes, I just used "Konami" as a rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 With a single card, a s*** archetype turned to be a solid contender in a Dragon Ruler metagame. Then when the dragons fall, it seized top spot with ease. gj konmai. Also, OP is wrong. Don't forget the Rank 5 Plays and goddamn pleiades.

Makes perfect sense/Konami. Well that archetype of pure OTK-enabling Nazis did a whole lot of nothing competitively before Disk burst onto the scene. There wasn't going to be any in-between here unless they revamped the entire archetype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 What really makes this card stupid is you Normal Summon this, and grab Crystal Skull. Send Crystal Skull, search something else (like Crystal Bones for later). Plus it can search the S/Ts. I don't even think about the revival effect as much as that stupid search effect when Chronomalies already have a search monster. And No.36 is ridiculous. I like the Chronomaly archetype, but they gave it a bit too much. And they didn't release it or the Heraldic Beast cards into the TCG, which makes me sad.

Blake Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Honestly I'm of the opinion that the deck is bad and the OCG just plays it because it's the OCG.Heraldics are better and I'd hardly have them as a contender for top deck.Galaxy does the Rank 5 thing better post-Prio and has R8 as well.They're like a worse Constellar (bar Nebra who's retarded) who just happen to have stupid bosses that lead to OTKing.The deck bricks really goddamn hard, though.

Chronomaly with Disk is a stun deck that focuses on beating down with Disk and friends OR dropping Fork Hoyuk/Gorgonic Guardian/Rank 5s for control. The Machu Mech OTK is just a nice bonus. It also helps a lot that they still have a lot of the staple backrow intact. Also, if Heraldics could beat them out, they would, considering they've topped occasionally.

Toffee. Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The deck bricks-What do you mean by "Brick"?That's a new one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSDelano Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 As I am playing 3's character deck[in supreme's tournament] with this at 3, it is a really nice card, because it allows easy deck thinning with Crystal skull. NS this, grab crystal skull, effect of crystal skull, get another chronomaly. And I believe he means that a bad hand, makes you lose, though from the character tournament match[I know not a good reference, but whatever] the only time you really brick is if you get no good monsters for a long period of time.

Hmm, well I guess the only way to know for certain how things would stand here is if we got Nebra Disk, but I don't know when that would be, if ever.

Slinky Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Basically, Chronmalies pretty much became. Option 1: Draw Nebra in opening hand Option 2: Draw Skull + random chronamaly in opening hand. Option 3: Stall with backrow, or draw like mad (3x Reckless, 3x Upstart, 3x Duality) and hope you get one of the above combination. Option 4: Lose Chronamalies are still a very fun deck, that much hasn't changed. But they turned into an overreliance on Nebra. Nebra by itself isn't too broken. Stratos still trumps it. Nebra can just SS itself, but at the cost of not searching on SS like Stratos can. Which appears to be a fair trade, because if you use the effect, you are barred from majority of your draw cards and backrow, and can't use it if you use said cards first. Its a very balanced card, but the comboes it creates with Skull triggered a backlash. Although I'm not really seeing an issue. Nebra, search Skull, Search Nebra, just seems like a more straight gadget loop. I think the main problem is #36. As great a card it is, it literally pretty much only exists to fuel #33 for OTKs.

I don't even think about the revival effect as much as that stupid search effect when Chronomalies already have a search monster. Mostly Nebra Disk will search Nebra Disk until your 2nd/3rd Nebra Disk (to set up your grave) from where you can search the Field Spell and do a lot of combos with Nebra, Field and Crystal Skull The revival effect isn't the most powerful of the effect but its still used to gain free xyz including a 3700 beater.
