Accel Synchron

[CLG Klavier]

No picture because Wikia is being utter s***.

Accel Synchron
Machine/Synchro/Tuner/Effect
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn: You can send 1 "Synchron" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, then activate 1 of these effects;
● Increase this card's Level by the Level of the monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect.
● Reduce this card's Level by the Level of the monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect. During your opponent's Main Phase, you can: Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon using this card you control (this is a Quick Effect). You can only Synchro Summon "Accel Synchron" once per turn.

What I always dreamt about. Konami, you're the best.

but what happens if you send quickdraw and decrase its inital level by 5

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Konami continue with the concept of Synchro Tuners and Accel Synchro. This guy is just absolutely amazing for everything he can do beyond just being a Synchro Tuner too. God Bless Jet Synchron for being made and Synchron Explorer to grab your targets or this. <3

Though it's probably the last we've seen on Yusei.dek support. It seems like the "ultimate" deck for them.

Worse than Fornula, still a great card for versatility.

Best use is turning it 4 by dumping jet then tuning it with a token/planning for an accel

I'm pretty sure that you can't actually do that. A monster can't be Level 0, so you can't send a monster that's Level 5 or higher when using the decrease effect.

 

EDIT:

Or not, the Ruling for it says that you can do that. Interestingly, if you increase its Level again by something like Star Changer, it will again become 1.

You really can't compare a lvl 2 synchro to a lvl 5 synchro though. You can't Junk into Formula, and you can't Glow-Up + token into Accel.

The two should take up 2 different slots rather than interchange one for the other

You can compare them, simply because Synchrons excel at spitting out 2/5, the field can manipulate this, and they're both Synchro Tuners.

But you can glow up + token into Accel

You just need a level 4 token. or scapegoat

No, you still can't. Accel should take up your lvl 5 slot, not your lvl 2 slot. Yes you can look and say "do I really need more synchro tuners?", but otherwise it's like preferring a Catastor rather than T.G. Dragonfy.

[CLG Klavier]

They're different level, they're summonable off different plays, they do different things, and you don't put them in the same slot. Sorry Black, but seriously - they're totally different cards. It's like saying I can compare Breaker the Magical Warrior to Shaddoll Dragon since they're both level 4 DARK Spellcasters that destroy spells and traps.

[Blake]

Any relevant synchro deck bar YZ can make them with more or less the same ease.

They are made off of different plays, but they are very much comparable, and if you played Synchrons a bit you'd know such.

This is often the "if I have to" synchro tuner. You run it, but it's not as good as formula bob in effect and ability to summon. The deck rarely can't make Formula,

They're not 100% comparable, but they fill a similar niche and are usually able to be made from the same hands, formula just happens to be easier to make (ie only costs 2 of a 3 cars setup or such) and better to make with the same input. You're tool boxing out the ass, so saying that you can't compare two toolboxable cards that do, when you account for actual playing beyond theory, have very similar availability when you play the deck doesn't make sense. In a theory vacuum they can't be, but if you play the deck you'll see they're very comparable.

Both of your analogies of comparison were absolutely awful, by the way, as neither of them compare in the slightest.

[CLG Klavier]

They compare in their effects and looks, in both mine and Miror's case. You're talking about in-game similiarity, which is a fair point.

[iCherries]

You can't compare the two 100% because they're supposed to be doing different things. You can make both with the same kind of hands though, so that's comparable I guess. But Formula's draw and Accel Synchron's level manipulation and sending Jet Synchron to the Graveyard are pretty different.

Mind you, Formula's better just for the extra draw and being a Junk Synchron target. This guy can make a Rose Dragon with Explorer or something.
