EndUser Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 An old card, with a cost that made it seem difficult to use. Since it Tributes, archetypes like "Hieratic" can benefit from it. Same goes if you can spare a Token instead of a more useful monster. You can make the best of the card when your opponent has the least number of monsters on their field possible. Instead of typical removal, this can be achieved with cards like "Kaiser Colosseum" or "Pineapple Blast", both of which are barely (if at all) used nowadays. The best part of the card, though, is that it bypasses ANY kind of protection, whether it be by destruction, target or Tribute from this card's controller. "Lava Golem" is similar, but it can't Tribute monsters if they have immunity to Tributing from the opponent. Share the Pain bypasses it. It can even get rid of the Anime Egyptian God Cards, which is irrelevant to the actual game but still is impressing (tested on YGOPRO).

Other general uses of the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If there was a deck that wanted to sit on 1 monster, this would be pretty sick in BA against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndUser Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If there was a deck that wanted to sit on 1 monster, this would be pretty sick in BA against it. I believe you mean that, a BA deck that uses Share the Pain would be too strong against a deck which relies on 1 monster... There are such decks, especially some troll-ish ones, like the Wanghu-Burden Combo. But, is that what you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with Share the Pain is that (afaik) your opponent can choose which monster they send. Therefore there's no guarantee that it'll hit anything good unless it's a format with a deck that sits on a single monster otherwise immune to destruction (so things like Bujin or Noble Knights).

And when I say "if there was a deck" I mean "if there was a deck with any semblance of meta relevance".The trouble with Share the Pain is that (afaik) your opponent can choose which monster they send. Therefore there's no guarantee that it'll hit anything good unless it's a format with a deck that sits on a single monster otherwise immune to destruction (so things like Bujin or Noble Knights). And even then, the GOOD noble knight and bujin builds don't just sit on one monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 It wouldn't work with the non-Ritual Nekroz if you were implying that. Ritual Spell Cards Tributing for the Ritual Summon is not a cost, or at least not one to activate the Ritual Spell Card itself.. If anything, the Tribute you force your opponent to make is placed after the semi-colon, and this means 2 things: -You Tribute first, and if they negate it you still had to Tribute it but they don't. -The opponent's Tribute is not a cost to activate the card, so you might end up triggering your opponent's non-Ritual Nekroz. As for other aspects of the card, it is a slow 1 monster removal that is only really gonna be a +0 at best when you have the Tributed monster combo with it. Also, non-destroying and/or non-targeting removal is not as much of a rare sight in the game nowadays and decks can mostly deal with it regularly, and that was one of the highlights it once had. Even some of those other removal are more accessible when needed than this card. Granted, this card does both non-destroying AND non-targeting, but I'm doubtful it'd still cut it. To be honest much of the time I'd personally rather go for Creature Swap if both require a similar setup and it'll leave me with an opponent's monster and the chance to kill the one I gave away, and even more so if the gift was a floater. For other intents and purposes, destruction staples are just fine to clear stuff up even if they won't necessarily combo somewhere, and in case of Pendulums, this card still doesn't have an edge over them. The card gets cool points though because nostalgia of casual plays during the DM and GX eras.... I can't really think of many worthwhile combos off the top of my head.... Special Summon Tefnuit and use it? IDK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expelsword Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Be honest with me, is this a stealth Fifty Shades of Gray topic? Either way, it's an interesting card, if strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 What this WILL work with is Helix and Carrier, which turns them into 1-for-1 removal. Sadly, that's an awful play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
