a bad post Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by its own effect, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. If a "Guardian Eatos" is destroyed by battle or by card effect and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned: You can equip 1 "Reaper Scythe - Dreadscythe" from your Deck to this card. You cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters (but you can Normal Set). When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: Send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. Discuss.

hexcalibrate Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 the biggest question is of course, "will this card ever be useful and be used in top tier decks" the correct answer: no my answer: I CAN DAMN WELL TRY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Its so cool but they decided to keep its original flavour which wasn't a very good decision... Although getting this out and beating your opponent silly with a 10,000 ATK monster is so satisfying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Gaadian... Desusaisu... *demonic laugh* Man those were some good episodes... Anyway, in the modern game Dreadscythe is severely underpowered, and while I get why they preserved her flavour they didn't do her justice. She needed to Summon from hand OR Graveyard on Eatos' destruction. The rest I've come to live with, because she is so damn awesome. And for style points, activating the Seal will destroy Eatos and trigger this, and replicate her creation in the anime. Reaper Scythe is where I draw umbridge. Useless on any other Monster, doesn't recycle itself, and doesn't have the same petrified mural art as the other Guardian Weapons barring Celestial Sword (whose art was shown in the anime so I give it a pass).

Miror B Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I feel as if it should only have the summon restriction when equipped with an equip card. I mean it's self recurring sure but it only gets the equip from the deck so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm mostly disappointed it can only grab a Scythe from the Deck. I think it should have been able to grab from the Graveyard, too. On the bright side, Hidden Armory can help recycle Scythes, and you can equip multiple Scythes, so it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 One last noteworthy detail - you can cheat the Eatos summon condition using Inzektor Exa-Beetle, and indeed there exists a Deck which does just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why use Exabeetle and not remove something though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Why use Exabeetle and not remove something though? You skip having to even run Eatos, you can pull it from the Graveyard on summon, and sending it with Exa-Beetle's effect triggers its resummon effect.

I thought people knew this by now. Isn't this the only "legit" way to use Dreadscythe anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Should've been able to grab any equip, and should've been able to SS itself from anywhere from the Eatos destruction. Card is trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Should've been able to grab any equip, and should've been able to SS itself from anywhere from the Eatos destruction. Card is trash. From anywhere wouldn't happen, since Special Summoning itself from the deck is a no-no IIRC. From the hand or Graveyard would have been nice though, especially given how easy it'd be to get it in the Graveyard. As for grabbing any appropriate Equip Spell, I'd have no objection to that, but they were trying to preserve its flavour. At the very least, they gave us a way to cheat it into play through Exa-Beetle, which isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that this was one of the times where keeping an anime card intact actually hurt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

玄魔の王 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 So, like...how do you even get this to your hand in the first place? You don't. You mill it to the Grave with cards like Armageddon Knight to set up the combo with Exa-Beetle, since that's the only remotely reliable way to trigger her.
