Just Crouton Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Saw this on DGz. Quick-Play Activate in the Damage Calculation of a battle in which monsters battle. Until the end of the Damage Step, negate the effects of all other cards on the field, and the Damage Calculation will be performed with the original ATK and DEF of those monsters. Dat body Copy + pasted from thread. Can't believe there's not a discussion on this card yet. Basically any deck that boosts stats or uses Damage Calculation effects gets fucked by this. Book counters the following (from the top of my head): - Bujin: Crane, Honest. - Harpies: Harpie's Hunting Ground, Harpie Lady 1, Zerofyne - Fire Fist: Pretty much every Fire Formation card. - Noble Knight: Gallatin, Destiny, Gwenhwyfar, Caliburn, Excalibur. - Dark World: Gates. - Gravekeeper's: Necrovalley. - Blackwing: Kalut, Sirocco. I think this card deserves a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom Xathers Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 This also, ironically, undoes the effects of the other Forbidden Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 You cant tell due to the poor lighting but the figure at the doorway is the guy from Solemn Judgement. Also, to add on Madolchles: Chateau, Ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Considering it's an anti-Honest, it's pretty silly because of that, but at the same time, it's also really amazing BECAUSE it's an anti-Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Soooo the Forbidden series are actually sacred biblical items, where the word "Forbidden" actually replaces "Holy" or "Sacred". We have the holy lance, the holy grail, the mantle that covered Yisus, and now the holy bible. Which is why Solemn Judgment/Warning guy is there, since he is god. I predict Forbidden Apple to be a thing at some point. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateIRS Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Wrong myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Explains the Token's name. Off topic, Apples is a hilarious card. Not quite as good as Gorz, but pretty close since it effectively pretends you took no damage and potentially makes a massive beater for free.

Sleepy Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm not familiar enough with Nordic Mythology to know why team Ragnarok used it even though it does fit the biblical description. Random Trivia: Malus = Evil/Apple in Latin. At least according to History Channel. For now I'll just say that's the secret weapon in Assassin's Creed.

Toffee. Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 With regards to Golden Apples- That card is all kinds of backwards because it's a few things all at once, instead of being something specific in particular.With regards to it being related to the other cards in the 'Forbidden' set-It would be Forbidden Fruit, if anything.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is it just me or does the back of the book look like a Yugioh card? Sweet Effect and I look forward to trying it. Looks like a side card IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philemon Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Eve, perhaps? It would make sense given she is messing with forbidden stuff. I think she's supposed to be Pandora, another woman who went around messing with Forbidden stuff, even if it is the wrong myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm not familiar enough with Nordic Mythology to know why team Ragnarok used it even though it does fit the biblical description. Random Trivia: Malus = Evil/Apple in Latin. At least according to History Channel. For now I'll just say that's the secret weapon in Assassin's Creed. The golden apples were apples that the goddess Freyja took care of in Norse mythology. They helped the gods stay young. Completely different from the forbidden fruit.

evilfusion Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think it's a bit too specific to be worth running. It's not nearly as versatile as the other Forbidden cards, and it has a specific activation timing, and only works on very specific effects.

Goose Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 This also, ironically, undoes the effects of the other Forbidden Cards. That's not ironic at all. We have an increase, a decrease and now a reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd side a pair for just in case situations, ATK reset at a moment's notice makes it quite useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suibon Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 In regarding to biblical myth, who is this girl actually? No one. None of the Gospel accounts, nor the surviving extra-Biblical spin-offs and accumulated myths of Christ's nativity and passion take note of any girl holding a lance (or a grail/chalice, which can be traced no further than the Arthurian romances in any case) -- though the mantle is mentioned in all Gospels save those of Mark's. Though of course given her proximity to the items in question the girl must be one of two Marys. /geekspeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different from the forbidden fruit. Nah -- not Nordic -- Greek. Iliad, to be more precise -- if nothing else, the parallels between Eris' spiteful hatemongering and what the card's supposed to do makes more sense than it would with Snorri's Ithunn.

Completely different from the forbidden fruit. You sure about that? Pretttty sure the Forbidden Fruit of Eden extends your life or something. iirc Adam lived to be 920 whereas average life in those days was like 300 or 400. Nah -- not Nordic -- Greek. Iliad, to be more precise -- if nothing else, the parallels between Eris' spiteful hatemongering and what the card's supposed to do makes more sense than it would with Snorri's Ithunn. No, they are definitely Nordic. The Loki guy in 5Ds used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
