Agro Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 >2200 >By an opponent's card effect Next!When it was first designed, I'd say it was made to be a pressure card. The Phantom Beast support at the time either stopped a battle or increased Rock-Lizard's ATK. Putting it at 2500 to 3100 ATK with the ability to inflict damage whenever it ran something over. Add in Horn, and obv it could get really, really buff, very easily. And that's where the second effect became important. See, the 2000damage effect isn't something meant to be abused as much as it's meant to punish the opponent for taking the easy way out. Can't get over the high ATK? Eat 1/4 of your starting LP. Obv, it was never any much of a pressure threat due to the fact that Phantom Beast only ever had this as a card to get on the field, 2 (eventually 3) cards to support it once it got there, and literally nothing else until MPB showed up– which, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with them so it was weird even calling them Phantom Beasts. And of course the power creep made even Rock-Lizard's ATK inconsequential. But I honestly don't think it would be that hard to add support to regular Phantom Beasts to make them at least mildly relevant if they use this card and Cross-Wing as a base.
