(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 this card is almost tier 0 material.Konami is trying way to hard , their creative team needs a wake-up call.I said this the other day as a joke about people panicking over Majespecter support. Honestly, the card is very powerful, but given the fact it doesn't really synergize with the new fusion, as Broken said, and it being both slow (relatively, at least. Being a trap forces it into a defensive card) and situational (how often can we expect the fusion on board, realistically?) it doesn't seem practical.

I'd assume this would be live very often as a result. It's definitely stronger than most other signature attack S/T like scrap fist or burst stream of destruction.

Toffee. Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Isn't the whole point of the deck to summon the fusion and swing a couple times with it for game?The Fusion, mind you, can't attack directly. So it makes Sword Flash counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King K. Azo Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 The Fusion, mind you, can't attack directly.So it makes Sword Flash counterproductive.Dark Paladin can though, and that's a powerful card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes, yes it is. But, mind you, that would require a Dark Magician in your deck, or King of the Swamp. Neither of which really add to where BB is going right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rest in Piss YCMaker Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Dark Paladin and Eye of Timaeus means this card can be put in Dark Magician decks without including Blader at all though, which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Trust me, it ain't as cool as it sounds. I've tried a Dark Magician deck with the Eye, and it is very unreliable. Adding this card to the mix would pollute a deck even further, since you don't even activate the very unsearchable Eye of Timaeus often enough to justify running this card. This card is pretty much best situated in the Buster Blader deck, but, again, it doesn't synergize well BB the Dragon Destroyer, since he can't attack directly. Plus, it'd probably be easier and faster to just nuke using a combo of Buster Dragon and BB the Destructive Swordmaster. Sure it's not banishing, but at least it's easier to do and BB can attack directly afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrality Man Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Through proxy experimentation, I've determined that this card is best suited not for any 1 on 1 Duel, but for Tag Duels. In a Dark Paladin Timaeus build, you guys have already noted the issue: Trust me, it ain't as cool as it sounds. I've tried a Dark Magician deck with the Eye, and it is very unreliable.

At best, the Flash's niche is as a 1-of in a Tag Duel configuration between Dark Magician.dek and this new Blader.dek we're getting come BOSH. Future reveals may change that if BB gets even more support, especially in the form of another Fusion Monster that can attack directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 That's not even the point Tyrannus. We're discussing this card's place in any deck that could use it. Making Dark Paladin either via Dark Magician + Eye of Timaeus or the old fashioned way of Poly/Destruction Sword Fusion with BB + Dark Magician/Fusion Substitute is too resource draining and time-consuming to justify running this card for that specific reason, since it would just be a dead draw 9 times outta 10. Likewise, this card wouldn't be good in actual BB.dek as it has no real synergy with BB the Dragon Destroyer and is far too slow. In all reasoning, this card is pretty flashy, but there's no real reason too actually run it, due to being slow and kinda clunky. That's what is being discussed here.

Progenitor Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The only use this card has is getting stuff like....I dunno Beelze out of the way if need be, OR getting that nasty ass field full of pendulums out of the game so they can't instantly come back off Raigeki. Additionally if you just need to poke for game and feel it's safer to clear the board first you can just use this then attack with Buster Dragon and/or BB That's pretty much it. That and the fact this card is searchable means throwing in that tech 1 copy for those situations isn't a bad idea at all. It's essentially get a problem field out of the way in exchange for your battle phase (assuming you only control the fusion), which is a fair trade. It doesn't have synergy because it's not supposed to. This card covers those few situations where BB Fusion is either not optimal or you don't actually have Buster Dragon or DNA Surgery out. It covers your bases. That's a fine 1-of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
