CraneMonk Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 In case the image doesn't work: Once per turn, during your opponent's main phase or your opponent's battle phase, you can: Immediately after this card resolves, tribute summon one monster. Well that escalated quickly. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 That sentence's grammar pains me. It's not a terrible card though, and now gives Storm Forth a purpose for being Quick-Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildflame Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 We all knew this was going to happen. That wording, ew. That art, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Risa, Thestalos is in the bottom-left, with Mobius on the bottom-right. Granmarg is behind Thestalos and Raiza is behind Mobius. So... what do we do with this card after we use it? Since, from what I'm reading, you only get one use. Honestly it would've been better as a Normal Trap.

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 It's not one use. It's a once per turn ignition effect that activates something when the 'effect' resolves. Or that was what I get from the weird as fuck wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Guys, there are only 2 Mega Monarchs in this card's artwork. Why else is the energy shown only red and blue? If the other 2 were here, it would also be green and brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 The unfortunate side effects of PCST is stuff like this. However, this card looks pretty godlike. Have a floater? NOW IT'S A MONARCH BLAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 The problem is that Monarchs already have so many Continuous S/Ts to choose from that its just getting clogged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 We totally called that when they released that Quickplay Soul Exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementuo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 To clarify the dumb wording Once per turn during the opponent's main/battle phase, you activate the card's effect. Once it resolves, you tribute summon a monster. It's basically Ultimate Offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Think of it as Urgent Tuning for Tribute Summons. Love it. Grants instant-speed to an otherwise largely underused Summon technique. Also helps you in dodging targeting removal and tripping up anything that follows "andi f you do". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 You know, I find it amusing how this only works during the Opponent's turn.Not saying anything is wrong with that, since it's cool how it basically turns your Monarchs into weird hand-traps.

OmegaWave Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ghostrick Spirits. This card lets you blow up your opponent's field with Dark Dust Spirit almost any time you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werewolfjedi Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 this is great. I'd love see this have a deck based around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Also of note is that unlike some of the other Monarch support cards, this has no restrictions about your Extra Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 So what are the things things that can/can't be used with it that warrant that wording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Wait for it, wait for it During their Battle Phase (Yes it's bad but still hilarious) Change it to Barbaros and you've got a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 So what are the things things that can/can't be used with it that warrant that wording? Upon studying the text a little bit, the wording seems a bit more understandable. "Once per turn, during your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase, you can:" - This part is very easy to understand and isn't awkward. The reason "you can" is before the colon is you aren't required to activate the effect if it's already face-up, and activating the effect starts a chain. "Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 monster". - A little more awkwardly worded, but still quite clear. The card's effect has to successfully resolve to Tribute Summon. This is already inherent to most Continuous cards, but if something chains to make it impossible to perform a Tribute Summon, the effect fails to resolve. Also, it's telling you that you perform the Summon at the time of resolution. It doesn't give you an additional Normal Summon, nor the ability to Tribute Summon anytime during the opponent's Main Phase/Battle Phase after resolving, but specifically at the timing you activate and resolve the effect.

werewolfjedi Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 does this have the ability to chain higher than link 1? and therefore allow you respond to activations and playing of cards? I just want to make sure on that, because if it's only that 1.5 deal wher it's at the end-start of phase moment, it's kinda weak then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 does this have the ability to chain higher than link 1? and therefore allow you respond to activations and playing of cards?

Oh we understand it fine, it just seems more awkward than it needs to be. Though maybe it's because I'm still annoyed by the grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
