Aerion Brightflame Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monstersIf this card attacks or is attacked, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step. Let's discuss the arguably best generic level 5 Synchro post DEUA. Since being able to hit over Midrash, prevent Dragonstars from floating, prevent Shadoll's from being well... Shadoll's, and being unable to be lance'd makes him so much better than Catasor right now. Especially when Dragonstars can make him be a 2800/2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 The problem is, it doesn't sound that easy to summon this while Midrash is out because of that summoning limitation. Still, very good card indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_engineer Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have used this card very frequently in frognarchs, however it has been Bottomless'd or Warning'd 99% of the times Can't say anything about it, its effect can be put on par with Cold Wave, while also applying to hand traps (Honest/Bujingi Crane/Kalut), can be deadly if it doesn't get obliterated on summon.

newhat Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's absolutely great if you can make it. Which Shadolls can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expelsword Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How is this better than Catastor or Hyper Librarian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How is this better than Catastor or Hyper Librarian? Librarian's pretty bad in, like, anything not totally synchro centric ala Fableds or Lavals. Catastor doesn't stop Shadolls and effect negation is rampant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Catastor gets around non-DARK monsters who are resilient in battle or would benefit from it. He is good for dealing with bosses and Giant Rats. Armades gets around Giant Rats as well, but trades boss-killing ability for much wider evasion, disabling Spells, Traps, and all Graveyard triggers during battles with him.

Expelsword Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Does it really prevent "when this card is destroyed by battle" effects? The case is a bit stronger now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Does it really prevent "when this card is destroyed by battle" effects? The case is a bit stronger now. Nach, it can't prevent continuous effects like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Great against Burn/Exodia as well because they can't Scarecrow/Fader you. That has proven to be useful many times for me. I absolutely love the card personally, especially post DUEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nach, it can't prevent continuous effects like that. But it does stop Giant Rat, etc. Well, at least Abbysslinde, but psure that's no different from Rat in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuelilo Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Armades is an amazing card and is really undersold by a lot of people. If you can make him... DO IT! This card will dominate Geargia, Bujin and just about any meta relevant deck currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrality Man Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 If you can make him with a Vylon Prism. Equip that s***! Arguably that combo is better than Star Eater. 3300 in battle with lockout from trying anything, protecting allies from Mirror Force, etc VS 3200 and immune to anything tried, leaves allies to die to the Mirror Force.

evilfusion Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yes, it stops effects that activate up to the end of the Damage Step (which is after monsters have died by battle and went to Graveyard), so it will stop searchers. Card is a very solid Rank 5. It's just easily forgotten about because it got released in the Xyz era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expelsword Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Alright, alright, it's a really solid card, and certainly sideable. But it's still no Hyper Librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'd only play Librarian over this if I'm running something HEAVILY Synchro-centric. Otherwise, this and catastor are your buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravires Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 This is the best sync 5 in the game. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
