Guardian Deathscythe [DRLG/CPL1]


Recommended Posts

So all six of the big name cards in the pack are worthless garbage. What a disapointing pack this turning into. If we don't get Number 5, I'm not to even bother buying any of these. This pack is a huge let down.

Mathemetician

Wiretap

Arguably Shadow Impulse

Arguably Steam the cloaked

Somewhat Fire/Ice Hand

Admire Des Thousand has potential for the future

SOUL CHARGE

 

And we only know like half the set, more or less

I imagine it will. But I still tthink they should have skipped Reaper Scythe and just given this card the boost effect.

 

Yes, of course they should have. This card is a corrupted Guardian Eatos. AKA the only Guardian of Rafael's Guardians that didn't rely on a crappy Equip Spell. The only remotely playable Guardian, whose Equip Spell effect was integrated partially into the card.

Ironically, Eatos is also the one Guardian whose Equip Spell has some utility beyond summoning Guardians, since per its OCG name it's a Noble Arms.

For those of us who never remotely cared about Dark Magician stuff (believe it or not, not everyone does) or this, this pack has quite a few gems. It'd be nice of this was made better but at the end of the day, it was really just a "hard to kill" beater.

Most of the Doma/Waking the Dragons cards released in the game so far show why things that seemed good in the anime a decade ago aren't necessarily going to translate well into the actual game.

While disappointed in a bunch of the anime cards, I will admit I like the loyalty most of them show to the anime counterparts, with the understanding that yes, half of them are terrible BECAUSE they're being more loyal to the anime.

 

If they printed the RL version of Orichalcos Shuneros in this pack, as a "former anime card made real", the fans would riot. Much like how our reactions actually are in regards to Orichalcos Shuneros having absolutely nothing in common with its anime counterpart, except for the name.

the original one summons a monster that says "you cannot lose the duel"

 

Yes, but the anime Orichalcos Shunoros did a bunch of crazy stuff that would justify never printing it. The RL Shunoros...is a ?/0 monster that protects your Level 4 Normals from dying by card effects, and has 1000 ATK x the opponents' monsters. It has absolutely nothing in common with anime Shunoros, and the fact it was released as "Orichalcos Shunoros" was outrageous.

 

If they had printed Shunoros in this pack with the RL effect, we'd be disgusted. My original point was I prefer the loyalty to the anime, even if they're somewhat mediocre as a result, then getting something mediocre with nothing in common. (Obviously, we prefer GOOD cards)

I'm genuinely just annoyed it has to come from the hand. It's a Level 8, but you won't be using Trade-In on your dead copies in hand, because putting Dreadscythe in the Graveyard stops you from using Eatos' SS effect, AND being able to SS itself by own Summon Condition.

 

Such a shame, because Soul Charge has amusing synergy with Eatos.

So, does anyone else remember that this and Eatos are searchable?

OK, it's a FLIP effect, and it blocks Eatos, but if somehow you could resolve without it destroying itself (Waboku?) it could search one of the two.

 

Of course, it's still bad, and I'm not even going to suggest that this would be good at all, but it's interesting to remember an old card with synergy.
