Number 104: Masquerade


Recommended Posts

So let's discuss my favorite card.

 

It absolutely wins the match-ups you'd make it in because the opp either can't do anything or is playing with 5600 "base" LP and negation looming over them. It's not a 100% useful, but it absolutely steals games when it has the chance to, and really makes pushing for game a lot safer.

I find it funny how often I find myself needed 104's effect when I have C104 on the field.

Both are amazing in their own right and this is pretty much the only 3 Mat Rank 4 I'd ever play.


Only downside is that it be a 3 mat.

Not exactly easy to make outside of like.. 1 or 2 decks.

UH It's ridiculously easy in a lot of decks.

Gogogo, Gogogo Zombies, Zombies, Gadget to an extent, hell even Constellars, maybe even Blackwings, and obviously I'm forgetting something.

This card was how people won at the JOTL sneak.

 

People won with this and Vain Betrayer though.

 

How often do people use the mill effect?

While not often, Lily has killed me with it... after stealing it from my Grave with either Grandsoil or Monster Reborn.

What exactly do you mean with that?

 

Anyways, I have always been interested in this card because not only I have a thing for magicians/jesters and masks, but the negation effect is good, but I rarely play decks that can easily drop Level 4s so I think I have not summoned it ever.

3 Materials

800 Burn each

 

Think of it in terms of Upstart. Like the opp has "11000" and you have "37 cards" in your deck.

Pshh everyone knows it's a 3600 base starting point because Solemn Warning

 

Anyway I never thought of it like that.

 

I just love everything about this card. I really do.

2700 is just such a nice number. For an ATK stat.

I see. I didn't realize the 2400 damage were coming from Masquerade's effect x3. Thanks for the answer.

 

And I was wondering this: What if it required 2 materials and had like 300~400 less ATK instead? Would it be fair, or too powerful?

It wouldn't be as cool, for starters. 
I feel it would be weak but good. One of the main points going for him IMO is that he has 2700 ATK. Considering his effect doesn't always go off I then look to the ATK stat. It would still be a good card....I just like this way better.

It's nice, but space :S
 
I've also been putting priority in Ouroboros and Deltatellos over this.

But why would you put priority in Ouroboros over this?
 
It only has 50 more ATK, and 2700 is rarely relevant (There is Garunix, at least).
 
It outright kills Crane/Ghostricks/Honest/Kalut/anything with effects like that if its summon/attack resolves that occasionally pops up, winning the matchup.
 
It's decent against Gears/sometimes merm because Armor just cries (Less relevant post-Deltatellos) and Linde just scoops herself up.
 
Ouroboros' hand hit is nice with EEV, but most times isn't relevant enough.
 
I'd rather run 80 over Ouroboros for setup killing, which you can post-PRIO. 80 wins randy LS matchups due to being able to double banish, not to mention hurts Bujin/sometimes Madolche/Fists at times/etc.

And the bounce is... good for killing Beelze I guess? IDK, it's not worth it.
