Monarch King Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 During your Main Phase, if this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 DARK monster from your hand Graveyard; Special Summon this card in face-up Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Dishonest" once per Duel. During either player's Damage Step, when a DARK monster you control battles: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the monster your opponent controls with the highest ATK (your choice, if tied) until the end of this turn.

Black Temple Gaurdian Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 So not only does it do exactly what Honest does, it can Special Summon itself, AND it adds more attack. Given that Honest's bouncing around the ban list, why would this version be any less OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Worlds, Blackwings or Evilswarms etc; Its useless for Burning Abyss, and Shaddolls have no room for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Balanced or not (hint: not), this card follows two cases of terrible design, then expands on them: Zephyros and Honest. The first effect is basically like Zephyros, but in return for returning one of your cards to your hand to be used again, this card can just toss itself onto the field for practically free, from the Graveyard. In place of needing a card to abuse in Zephy's case, this is much more usable. The free Level 4 is powerful, the cost doesn't actually exist, and can turn Armageddon Knight into a one-card Rank 4. Or, if you don't want to use Armageddon Knight, you can just have this ditch itself to become Honest. Normally, Honest is just a sudden Riryoku from the hand that ruins stuff, but this takes the ATK of the monster with the highest ATK, meaning this can deal more damage than Honest would have for no real reason at all. Honest might be coming back, but the card is still a major headache to deal with. Tbh, the card needs to be completely redone. And you can definitely toss this in Shaddolls with great effect. I mean, they have plenty of Foolish Burials, plus Falcon/Squamata/Dragon to make ED plays with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireofDarkness Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 So not only does it do exactly what Honest does, it can Special Summon itself, AND it adds more attack. Given that Honest's bouncing around the ban list, why would this version be any less OP? Part of what made Honest ridiculous is the first effect of it. The one no one remembers. That's one of the main reasons why it stayed at 1 for such a long time. You could do things like Monster Reborn back in the day or Soul Charge and bounce it to your hand or even worse, FTK your opponent with Ultimate Offering and Athena. This card lacks such. While I don't find myself comfortable knowing this would be at 3, I don't have a problem with it's an existence. Maybe a restriction, such as not having a banish monster with 1200 ATK and 1800 DEF or in your Graveyard would make it easier on such? EDIT: I am with Bagel on the first effect tho, but I do get the flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarch King Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I changed somehow the 1st eff, Banish Cost is from hand, SS in face-up Defense Position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
