AnnieShifter Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Spellbook of Judgment Quick-Play Spell During the End Phase of the turn this card was activated, add "Spellbook" Spell Cards from your Deck to your hand, except "Spellbook of Judgment", up to the number of Spell Cards activated after this card's resolution, then, you can Special Summon from your Deck 1 Spellcaster-Type monster whose Level is less than or equal to the number of cards added to your hand by this effect. You can only activate 1 "Spellbook of Judgment" per turn. Spellbook of Judgment was without a doubt one of the worst and most poorly designed cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, causing it to get banned immediately. The card netted so much advantage and with it sheer power made Spellbooks a tier 0 deck. That coupled with it being a quick-play, searchable, and recyclable made the card truly broken. Now what would happen if this came back to 1. I honestly believe that if the card came back to 1, it would severely affect the meta. What do you think would happen if konami suddenly limited the card, and what are your opinions on this beast of a spell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrality Man Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Look at Snatch Steal last format. There's your answer. Efforless +9s are not a thing that should exist. I'd rather see Super Rejuvenation come back now that the D-Rulers are dead and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Tier 0 only signifies a deck that can only realistically be beaten in the mirror match. Tier 0 decks are very few, and very far between. Spellbooks are not one of them.

Hexanort Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 it may be limited but its still easily searchable and recycable..... so its being at 1 wont make much difference than it being at 3.....especially with all the plusses it give.... nope....

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 The only time when Spellbooks are remotely T0 was the very short time in OCG when LTGY was just released, but the mini dragons haven't. Also no. just let this die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Very few cards have gotten banned the next list after being released. Some cards have gone from 3 to 0, rare as even that is, but there was simply no question that this card alone broke the whole Deck. It was searchable and while it gave the + during the End Phase...it searched pretty much everything in your Deck. And then Summoned something from a pool that got better the more you searched. You only need 1 of these. You can search it and recycle it. The only real difference between 3 and 1 is the odds of drawing it. I seem to recall us thinking this card had to be fake when it was revealed, because it was so BLATANTLY overpowered and supported a Deck that was already relevant.

Expelsword Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 This card is just plain disturbing. The Arc V Youth Champion uses Spellbooks, what do you wanna bet he sacks all his wins with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 His ace was Hierophant of Prophecy, so I don't think that's the case. I only tolerated this card because, for a little while, it made Fortune Ladies not complete crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah, the only thing we know about the anime guy was he was an Xyz user with Hierophant of Prophecy. I doubt he ran Spellbooks the way RL players used Spellbooks. AKA a Deck of almost all Spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well outside of Fate, Tower and this card the archetype is complete garbage. Deck probably would be tier 1 again with it, though. Not really too sure despite having nearly a year's worth of Spellbook experience because I played it from September 13 to late last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeartic Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 This card can never come back. Reasons are all above me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I would rather have fate at 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1dodger Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Shame it was a poorly designed card. I wouldn't ever want it to come back. Just gain so much advantage with 1 card, that's too much. Also anyone watching Lithium2300 cross ban list tournament? It seems Spellbooks in its prime crushed Nekroz o-o though to be fair the tournament lack proper side decks cards.

heraldry_lord Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I love its art though, and Judgment is supposed to be an earth-shattering Tarot card, so the effect at least lives up to that. I think this card will eventually be powercreeped to the point where having it at 1 will mean little from a competitive point of view, but that isn't now.

J-Max Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Didn't really use Spellbooks much but fuck me this is Broken! From what I understand, Spellbooks Decks run a LOT of Spell Cards so you are netting a godly number of pluses from this. Not to mention it grabs all the Spellbooks you will ever need along with a Special Summon? I would consider a Spellbook Deck if this ever came back but I would also like some of the stuff Konami was smoking if this came back (looking at you Snatch Steal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The scariest thing about this card was that Spellbooks are already based around self-replacing Spells, like Secrets, Master and Power, so it isn't even regaining lost advantage, it's just generating profit. Even Super Rejuvenation requires You to do something that (under normal circumstances) costs you advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
