Number 380: Latias, the eon dragon empress & Number 381: Latios, the eon dragon emperor

[ems97]

Okay so I made Latios and Latias. These 2 cards I made them so I didn't think of the effects and therefore I left them on hold. Until finally, I found what effects can be possibly good. Luster Purge on Latios & Mist Ball on Latias. Since they both reduce their target's status the, the only difference is Latios lower DEF and Latias lower ATK. I am not sure how to word it in the second sentence so I tried the best as I can.

3 level 5 monsters

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; target 1 monster on the field; halve that target's ATK. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that target's current ATK.

I figured these would come up eventually.

Anyway, you know how the review works: Fix your OCG, then CnC time.

 

Latias

 

3 Level 5 monsters

Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Target 1 monster on the field; halve its ATK, and if you do, your opponent takes damage equal to its new ATK.

 

It is nice for neutering problematic monsters so they get in killable range for this card (or whatever else you're running), and the burn damage is nice. Aesthetically though, LP gain would've been a better idea than burn [given her personality; burn damage fits her brother though], but that's probably just me.

 

Latios

To be honest, Latios's effect would really only see usage against monsters in Defense Position that piercing damage monsters can capitalize on. At this point, a lot of stuff is probably going to be in ATK position so the most this does is just burn them (unless you combo this with Latias, but then again, factor in the investment needed to summon them)

 

You can buff Latios's ATK a bit though to 2800 or something, so he can at least tie with SHARK Knight or something; given that is still relevant.

 

 

Although I love both of the Eons and while their effects match their signature moves; I think you could've added some more stuff to them. Stat-wise, they're fine but outside of Artifacts or whatever likes spamming Level/Rank 5s, there are still better options to go into (Chaos forms of the Barian Emperor numbers such as C101/103/104 via RUMs or just the generic 2-mat Rank 5).

 

You can make them 2-materials; it'll make them more playable as their effects aren't exactly enough to warrant that extra material.
