Althemia Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Cannot be Special Summoned, except by Ritual Summoning this card with “Oracle of the Herald”. You can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard; Activate one of the following effects:● When the opponent activates an effect: Negate its activation, and if you do, destroy it.● When the opponent would Special Summon a monster: negate that Special Summon, and if you do, destroy that monster.Strict upgrade to Herald of Perfection apart from being Level 12. New Ritual is also meant to be unique in a sense, so let's hold on for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well, so it's just plain saying no to your opponent as they want to play YGO. If this can be summoned reliably without much minusing....welp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Glorious, glorious art. Looks like it outright can't be Summoned with ARA. Which is probably a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 So in summary; you keep a half stocked hand (and we're going to soon be getting a lot more hand management cards what with promoting Pendulums), get this out in some way, and from then if your opponent summons anything... [spoiler=Spoiler] If they activate anything... If they do anything; do anything at all, other than normal summon Zombyra the Dark or any other terrible Lv4 monster that can actually run over this... [/spoiler] Yeah, you suck opponent. How dare you try and play Yugiohz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Oracle of the HeraldRitual Spell CardCan be used to Ritual Summon “Ultimate Declarer”. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card’s activation. (1) You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels add up to 12 or more.Yeah opponent, don't even try to play Yugioh!

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Guys guys, Konami realized our suffering from playing this game, and to save us, they telegraphed the ''don't play YGO'' message from their recent card design. Good guy konmai, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Origins Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wow you guys are a cynical bunch. This deck isn't going to be meta; there are going to be ways to play around this, just like there are ways to play around Herald of Perfection. Sure, it's a bitch, but I guarantee that it's not going to be as bad as it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Translation is iffy, but may PERMANENTLY gain those effects when you discard a fairy to activate it. Santa Claws/Volcanic Queen let's go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Translation is iffy, but may PERMANENTLY gain those effects when you discard a fairy to activate it. Santa Claws/Volcanic Queen let's go No, it costs a fairy discard each time. Because they have two different activation timings, but the same cost, they translated it like they did. However, it's not once-per-turn, or even "each effect once per turn". But it's also a Level 12 Ritual (which is cool), and can only be used in Herald Decks. It also isn't much sturdier than actual Herald of Perfection (1800/2800 vs 2000/3000). It'll probably come down to whether players consider the upgrade to be worth twice the Summoning investment.

The wording is weird, so we don't know if the translation is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt it's a permanent effect gain, as opposed to two separate activation timings with the same cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philemon Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I can't believe it took them 15 years to release a Level 12 Ritual. Everything else got a Level 12, or Rank 12 I guess, and only now are they doing it...by just turning an older card into something bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 This card actually sucks really hard if you have to discard for each negation. Really, you're losing 12 levels of monsters (3-4 monsters, if you use up 2 you're probably running inconsistent crap, alternatively just Tribute another copy). If you still have monsters after that, then you kinda do deserve a really annoying interaction-killer like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 OR you can simply iuse Ritual Djinns in your Graveyard, and make this card even more broken.... So you use an inconsistent engine that has nothing to do with the deck?I mean, this card is horrible design, but there's no way to claim it's a gamebreaker because any way to summon it without negging yourself involves using an engine that doesn't help the consistency once you summon it.Only really sounds decent as somethign to draw into after you have PErfect Herald and Saphira grind out the game on the board.
