Astellarknight Sephirabuth

[~British Soul~]

 

Astellarknight Sephirabuth
Fiend/Pendulum/Effect
Pendulum Effect: (1) You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters, except “tellarknight” monsters and “Sephira” monsters. This effect cannot be negated.
Monster Effect: You can only use the monster effect of “Asterllarknight Sephirabuth” once per turn. (1) IF this card is Normal, Flip, or Pendulum Summoned: You can target 1 “tellarknight” or “Sephira” card in your Monster or Pendulum Zone, and 1 Set card your opponent controls; destroy them.

 

Somewhat surprised we don't have a topic on this card yet, discuss?

.....the fuck even is this

[Jord200]

Roach? Is that you?

[iCherries]

did they... even want this?

[Rodrigo]

Okay, now I know for sure that the Duel Terminal storyline writers just went batshit.

[The Warden]

It looks like Exciton merged with Unukalhai and then given a pair of wings because wynaut?

Well, Snake said that the one in charge of DT world recruited some outstanding warriors into Sephira to fight against Infernoids.

Effect's pretty meh, esp since it doesn't work with Altair/Vega.

[Slinky]

NO

WHY IS IT A FIEND ;-;

So Sombres and Kerykeion?

The face weirds me out. Like...badly.

 

While your reactions feel somewhat logical, do feel free to discuss the card itself instead of the disbelieving reactions.

 

So...how about that effect? Hmm...has Sephira actually been an archetype before this? I feel like I'm missing a chunk of info on them.

Sephira is a new theme in CROS iir.

[Darj]

That moment when Black/Koko theory on Roach is kind of confirmed.

Zefra/Saphira recruiting monsters from different archetypes... that's a interesting concept. It's like Verz, except that instead of infecting random monsters, the best warriors are chosen.

 

EDIT:

Re-reading the cards effects, I just noticed that this supports both tellars and Saphiras. I can foresee that a consistent pure-Saphira deck would most likely be built with Pendulum monsters only, but how exactly do to tech, for instance, this card in tellarknights? You would need another tellarknight Pendulum for the other side of the scale, and tellarknights don't really need Pendulum Summons because they can already swarm by themselves with their effects, and as non-Pendulums they are not stored in the Extra Deck.

 

I guess they just included tellarknights in this card's effects for flavor because I don't see this working that well in tellarknights, until they get more tellarknight Pendulums of course.

Oh my God, thank you.

I was trying to figure out what his "something borrowed" was.

All of the scale 7s so far have used a former being (Apparently Unuk, Exa with I think Ancient Flamvell, core is diamond in Castor or Pollux), and the Scale 1s are new (Pilica's new form, Fuushi).

They also all have gems on them, so they might have been taken back from the Qliphucks.
