Darj Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 When this card is Summoned, declare different Monster Card Attributes equal to the number of "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell"(s) in your Graveyard. If this card attacks a monster that has a declared Attribute, destroy the monster with this card's effect without applying damage calculation. Yes, this is a quite old card. By itself it is decent with its Catastor-esque effect... but only after you set 1 or more copies on the graveyard, which makes it slow. You may be wondering why I bring this card up to discussion, and the reason for that is Shaddolls: - You can run a couple of these as LIGHT materials for Nephilim. - Once you discard or (ideally) mill a copy with Shaddoll Fusion, the remaining copy becomes alive. - Unlike Majesty's Fiend, one of the better LIGHT techs in Shaddolls, Disciple is Level 4 so not only it can be Normal Summoned, but also it can be used to make Rank 4s and Synchro 6s that may already be in the Extra Deck. Also Goyo will be back in the TCG and you can use this + Falcon to Summon it. - It is a ROTA target so you can search it as a last resort either to remove a threat with its effect, or use it as Fusion Material if you want Nephilim that badly but the opponent doesn't have any Extra Deck monster on the field. ROTA going to 2 in TCG further benefits this card. - Although the "destroy" mechanic is not as reliable as before to remove monsters with all the floaters in the Meta, Disciple can still remove powerful or lock monsters, such as Leoh or Moonlight Rose Dragon, when Nephilim is not available or, against the latter, not an option. In short, Disciple looks like a good LIGHT tech in Shaddolls, and the 2 banlist changes on Goyo and ROTA in the TCG makes it better. Discuss.

Mugendramon Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Majesty's Fiend is infinitely superior to this with or without Tribute. Yang Zing. HAT. Shaddoll. What does this do against any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It kills Xyzes. "Attacks" makes it less-than-optimal. You'd be better off with the unsearchable Grand Mole or even Bull Blader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Majesty's Fiend is infinitely superior to this with or without Tribute. Yang Zing. HAT. Shaddoll. What does this do against any of them Arrive mid or late game to beat whatever ED monster not named Midrash they have dropped? But seriously, I know it is not really effective against them, and that Majesty's remains as a better, if not the best, LIGHT tech. To be honest, I made this thread because I was curious to know if the new TCG banlist would make this card worthy of being run in Shaddolls.

Greiga Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 People might run it in budget decks since it's not completely a useless vanilla in the hand unlike AD Changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Synchro killing plays into Incarnation. They're not great, but not awful. Why would I ever want to blow up Deltatheros? And this doesn't hit Shock Bastard OCG side if they call mons. Why would I ever want to blow up Nephilim? That's just begging for trouble. There's no reason to run a mediocre card like this when destruction is getting to the point of being mediocre overall.
