Book of Moon


Recommended Posts

Is it wrong that I use this to get another go out of my Magician of Faith? Getting back 2 Spells is more then worth the cost of Moon. No idea why it is at one though... Wasn't it two a while back? Can't remember the last time is was Unlimited.

That was actually a viable thing to do in Goat Format. If they attack over your MoF, you Book your own Faith and get back something like Pot of Greed. Though Book was @2 in that format, so it was slightly more dispensable. Anyway, if for some reason you're playing Magician of Faith in today's metagame, then I suppose Booking it is a decent play depending on what Spell you are thinking of getting back.

It was put to 1 in March 2011. Doesn't feel nearly as long ago as that though... I have been playing the game for far too long.

It breaks up plays incredibly well, but it's typically a bad topdeck and a minus. I wouldn't mind it being at 2, but I also don't see it going to 2 or 3 due to the fact that it allows some degenerate recycling, Shaddolls can abuse it and it also gets over field locks.

Book was actually at 3 in Goat Format. Speaking of which, thank you for reminding me; I haven't worked on the Goat thread in over a month. I'll make sure to do that at some point today.

Spellbook of Moon.

 

A good format deserves this card @ at least 2, maybe 3. It might slow down the game some, but it can be used either offensively or defensively and has a lot of good applications going for it.

 

It makes you wonder why these "versatile cards" like Lance don't get list attention, but this does.

 

Lance doesn't stop relevant plays, it stops spot removal and battle destruction.

Thing is, this card has never been that harmful.
Like, yes, you can use it to intercept Extra Deck Summons and otherwise use it as a weird Book of Moon and/or flip stuff that would otherwise protect itself(Beelze for example).
And this card is still a -1. Doesn't change stats or anything. Can just be used as a means of protecting/intercepting/etc a bunch of stuff.

Yet it's still at 1, because, oh no, we can't have anything fun.

Love/Hate relationship so much.

 

The reason it's at 1, and I feel it should stay there, is because it is SOOOO versatile. Probably one of the most versatile cards in the game, which is saying a lot, considering how simple its effect is.

 

It can Set Flip Effects (or "when flipped up" effects) for re-use. It can stop an attack. It can switch your attacked monster to its stronger DEF value. It can stop your opponent from activating an Ignition Effect, or prevent a target from being affected (if the target needs to be face-up, or is based on Type/Attribute/stats). It can switch an opponent's monster to its more vulnerable DEF position. It can stop an opponent from using a weak monster as Xyz or Synchro Material, stopping their plays short, etc.

 

It just has so many options. While it's less useful late game as a topdeck, it's just an amazingly good card in so many ways.
