TFW the optimal Pemdulum Scales do not let you Pendulum Summon [D/D Cerberus]

[Blake]

<6> Scale <6>

Pendulum Effect: Once per turn: You can target 1 "D/D" monster you control; its Level becomes 4, and if it does, it gains 400 ATK and DEF.
Monster Effect: When this card is Pendulum Summoned from your hand while you control a "D/D" monster, except "D/D Cerberus": You can target 1 Continuous Spell Card in your Graveyard; add it to your hand.

 

The more and more I play, I actually value this guy more. I've swapped the second Night Howling with the second copy of this, just because it really is the opimal scale next to Abyss Ragnarok who is <5>.

 

The fact that he allows you to make Caesar if you draw him in addition to the Wombo Combo is amazing, because a T1 Caesar/D'Arc field feels really safe, especially when the last card in your hand is BoM/backrow. You can't be Raigeki'd/Dark Holed reliably, and MF won't hurt you much, either. Plus, you "start" with 9K, like this, and only gain more.

 

The fact he also makes Temujin a respectable size and makes D'Arc huge is awesome, too.

 

I'll admit this is one I actually underrated a bit, sine I saw the mediocre scale a bit too much. Yeah, you can't PS... but it's worth it when you have 2 searchable 'spells' that double as monsters. And one of which is broken, and the other is good. Well worth it.

That art is still every bit as nightmarish as the first time I saw it.

 

Being able to make Rank 4s more easily with him is cool, but a permanent boost that doesn't cost anything is also good, since Temujin's biggest weakness is his low ATK. Shame he has to change the level to boost something, so he can't boost something twice.

 

Though I'll still be curious to see what DD Baphomet turns out like, since he is also a Rank 4 enabler and also a rank 8 enabler with Kali Yuga.
