Northern Sage Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 2 Level 8 monsters If this card attacks or is attacked, during damage calculation (in either player's turn): You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card once per battle; this card gains ATK equal to the combined Ranks of all Xyz Monsters currently on the field x 200, during that damage calculation only. If this card in its owner's control is destroyed by your opponent's card effect while it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as an Xyz Material: You can Special Summon this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation and double its ATK. Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is halved unless it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as an Xyz Material. Name left as-is. Still a really neat card. Discuss.

Rodrigo Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I keep thinking this is a really overpowered card, but it really just isn't even all that good, right? Still, it does look pretty damn awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I had no doubts it'd keep the name. It has to called "Number 62", and it's a Galaxy-Eyes monster. And a Photon monster. The only word that isn't an absolute is "Prime", and there's nothing wrong with that. It's a gorgeous card. The effect is very nice, and the damage-halving is only a problem outside of Galaxy Decks, as it becomes a glorified beatstick. With Galaxy-Eyes, however, it has that revival effect and doesn't halve damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_engineer Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Strong in Galaxy-Photon decks Strong in Dark-World/Skill Drain decks neat tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I keep thinking this is a really overpowered card, but it really just isn't even all that good, right? Still, it does look pretty damn awesome. It is because it lets Galaxies OTK stupid easily . That said, Galaxies aren't good enough still, and even then the OTKing is on Soldier.

Neochu-H Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 this card is great, but i really think it isn't good outside of galaxy/photon decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I probably won't replace Tachyon with this because negating other effects and bonus attacks > big beater IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I probably won't replace Tachyon with this because negating other effects and bonus attacks > big beater IMO.... But that's wrong?In Galaxies this is your biggest wincon. Dropping this + R5 = OTK, since R5 excels in removal.You don't make it just to make it, but it's the wincon.And it's not like 107 and 62 compete for the same spot so idk why that's what you'd neg for this.Granted, TCG Galaxies are s*** anyways so who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I probably won't replace Tachyon with this because negating other effects and bonus attacks > big beater IMO. Why does it come down to that choice exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 What are you talking about? You run BOTH Tachyon and Prime Photon. They're both generic 2 Mat Rank 8 monsters that have Galaxy/Galaxy-Eyes support. There's no reason not to be running both. You Summon the one you need at the time.

evilfusion Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm not talking about Galaxy decks, I'm talking about the poor man who can't afford Felgrand. Why are you thinking of using this in non-Galaxy Rank 8 Decks? It's a glorified beatstick that only does half damage if you don't have Galaxy-Eyes attached. It also doesn't have its revival effect if you don't have Galaxy-Eyes attached. You use this in Galaxy Decks. Not much use anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is required for this card to be good. Otherwise, it's really not worth the investment, especially compared to the other generic Rank 8s.

Wildflame Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Idk, it's an ok card even with half damage. Sometimes you just want to run over stuff. But 8 is actually a pretty decent rank now: Felgrand, Alsei, Tachyon, Giant Killer and Heliopolis all come before this, so it's understandable that it doesn't see play outside of its deck.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I banned it in Character format because in Galaxies it was just waaaaaaay too much damage to drop on board for too little dedication, and even outside of the deck 4K is really hard to get over, and it's bad manners to ban a card for just the character who can use it anyways. Outside of a limited format, though, 90% of the time you would prefer something else over this outside of Galaxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
