Lunar Origins Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 If this card is Normal Summoned or sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: Target 1 "Archfiend" card you control; Destroy it, then Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher "Archfiend" monster from your Deck in face-up Defense position. During the next Standby Phase: Destroy that monster, or, if it was used as an Xyz or Synchro Material monster: Destroy that Xyz or Synchro monster that used it as an Xyz or Synchro material. You can only activate the effect of "Noble Archfiend" once per turn. Noble Archfiend works as sort of a swarm-but-not-really sort of card for the deck. Archfiends love being destroyed, for some odd reason, and Noble Archfiend's effect compounds on this, offering advantage through pure unbridled destruction. The net gain from his effect, however, in the long run begins to take its toll, as anything you used the monster summoned through his effect for is destroyed except in a sparse few cases (examples being Felgrand being immune to this if you summoned Archfiend Emperor/Empress). This net advantage, however, will trigger any Supply Units you have twice over the course of this effect's life, granting you superb advantage in the case that you have those on the field. Noble Archfiend also has his place in Infernity decks, allowing you to Normal Summon him while you have no cards in your hand, Special Summon an "Infernity Archfiend" from your Deck and triggering its effect, all while fueling your Graveyard with another Level 3 DARK monster.

Greiga Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 So if I Xyz Summon Utopia and then I get out C39, does C39 die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugendramon Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (Note, you can't make Felgrand with First Lord of Horror. You can only SS fiends.) Empress is the optimal target in pure archfiend cause float. The idea of Foolish->Heiress->this->Empress is hilarious in and of itself. Also helps set up your Doom Shaman and Dark Creator for even more shenanigans. Being a Tour Guide target is evil just as well. Also Archfiend's Roar now SSes from the Deck! Supply Unit has a field day as well. Thing gives Archfiends the search power they need... but it also makes them border on Infernity-stupid territory. It's the card they need, not the card they deserve. You made reverse batman grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracoswag Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I love how it is a Tour Guide target. Was that intentional? I believe due to Heiress derp-easy toolbox/searchability, you can probably opt out the "sent to the Graveyard" bit, or maybe change the clause to "Special Summoned by the effect of an "Archfiend" card" (or something along those lines) to make it less 'abusable' as it were. This card makes Empress more usable which is amazing in my opinion. With Emperor in Graveyard: This - Empress - Following turn; Destroy - SS Emperor. Creates for some interesting Combos.
