Slinky Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monstersOnce per turn, during either player's turn, when another Level 5 or higher monster on the field activates its effect: You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a monster effect is activated that targets exactly 1 Level 5 or higher monster on the field (and no other cards): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. If this card destroys a monster by its own effect: It gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK, until the end of this turn. Despite this being pretty much the anime version to the dot, the more I look at it, the more useless it seems. It may be relevant in the future, but it does absolutely nothing now. Burning Abyss match-up; Only viable targets are Virgil and Malacoda (and Malacoda isn't even run), this is probably the most realistic use. Qliphort match-up: Logic dictates this would work very well against Qli's. But it doesn't because of Qli's ability to be unaffected by things of lower levels. Therefore, the things it would actually hit, don't work on them. (IE: Disk/Cephalopod/Stealth). However, it does remain by one use, it can affect Carrier, although, that doesn't really do anything.. Necloth match-up: once again, logic dictates this would destroy them, but again, it doesn't. Necloths turn 1 play usually involve a combination of Unicore and another ritual, or Unicore and Senju/Manju (thus rendering its effect moot). Although the card does shut down Trish, a simple Valkyrus/Decisive Armor would ram it, or Unicore would just negate it followed by a Brionac/Trish to just get rid of it. So.. uh.. yeah.. discuss?

iCherries Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The funny part is that it's most useful against only staples or a few important archetype cards, not entire decks. Doesn't do well against Qliphoths, but murders 101/Dark Rebellion/Castel.I find it cute making this out of Bian in Yang Zing to cover some of those issues about it getting run over. I also want to think: it being not all-around useful in the current meta like Stardust was hints at an evolution that makes this worthwhile to run, or Speed Roids and Yang Zing get enough to properly beef it.It's really good imo. It just can't do anything important against the top dogs because they were already designed to not care. Stopping Virgil and Trishula is a hell of a lot of help though. I only wish it kept the power gain for longer than one turn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's an awesome card, but the most powerful Decks are the most powerful for reasons this card can't address. It still functions just fine in Decks willing to run it, just not against the top meta threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 ....both effects now trigger the ATK gain? Wasn't it just the second effect, the last time we had a topic on this card? Regardless, this is still quite an amusing card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementuo Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The only thing this is good VS is Nekroz. And Nekroz have Unicore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4 decks in general theoretically should have no problem dealing with this card, thanks to Cowboy's attack position effect, or if the card somehow gets widespread, Number 52 may start seeing play outside of Nekroz, so it countering Castel/101/Rebellion doesn't actually mean anything, because they wouldn't even be summoned on this thing in the first place.

SirReal Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Qlis actually are only unaffected by monsters with lower levels, so you can still stop Disk and anything lower. You wouldn't be able to stop Stealth even if you could. The only thing is mained triple Skill Drain that makes this guy a little pointless against Qli.

玄魔の王 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Imagine if they'd actually taken the LV5 or higher requirement out of the effect like with the other 2. It'd basically be a twice-per-turn Divine Wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewolfjedi Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 with the anime promises of pendulum evolution into synchros and the fact the meta won't be this forever, this card is a time bomb waiting go to off and make a huge impact. tick tock tick tock, waiting for the bomb to drop... mark my words. hold onto this beast, it's worth should increase when the meta shifts to the next wave of archtypes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Mark my words. Hold onto this beast, it's worth should increase when the meta shifts to the next wave of archetypes, That's what I've been thinking for a while. It'll most likely not be worth much on release but when the meta shifts to a point where this is useful, then its price will go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
