Brilliant Fusion

[Maeriberii Haan]

When this card is activated: Fusion Summon 1 "Gem- Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your Deck as Fusion Materials, but change its ATK and DEF to 0. If this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell Card; the monster Special Summoned by this card's effect gains ATK and DEF equal to its original ATK and DEF , until the end of your opponent's turn. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Fusion" per turn.

Bless Masumi.

This+Performages is probably my favorite engines in TCG at the moment.

Discuss the engine's usage and its usage in its own deck.

[IQuitDolphin]

Run this with Madolches?

[Toffee.]

Topdecking Future Fusion is really fair.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Yeah, in Madolche this is a Double Summon that's not awkward and greatly increase the deck's ceiling. I remember this also being used in some RB build since you can dump Kanna using it. Performages Pendulums atm use it really effectively and they don't care as much if they open the garnets, and Volcanics in theory can use this too, though it'd be infinitely better there if Chain's around.

 

And then there's its usage in fun decks.

Future Fusion is always gonna be good

Topdecking Future Fusion is really fair.

drawing garnet really sucks tho

if there were better engines that didnt force us to run 1-2 blanks we would BUT the trade-off IS 9 copies of plushfire and no alternative really mimics that

 

Something to keep in mind that Seraphinite prohibits you from NSing Chamaleon especially when u cant PS it (which is relevant in turns where you've used up your Juggler search)

 

Brilliant + Storm is amazing because Brilliant counts as 2 spells and 1 SS

[Maeriberii Haan]

Brilliant Performage Pendulums at least can PS the garnets when drawn.

 

Feels like it's the deck's way of compensating the lack of Chain.

[Bringerofcake]

It's godlike in its own deck. Being able to get a free lady diamond is wonderful, and it sets up G-K fusion hands incredibly well. You never don't want to see this card in Gem-Knights unless you actually have run out of targets.

[ihop]

I find it kinda a necessary evil in Pendulums just because it makes getting to Snowcone so much easier. It requires you to play Sabersaurus then gives you a crappy monster which clogs your board but it's still kinda necessary to play just because Damage Juggler is the absolute most important card in the deck and being able to send it puts you very far ahead. I hope for the sake of the deck that someone will find a better alternative.

No one mentions NK's?

 

This card to summon Seraphinite for Double Summon reaaaaaaaaally help NK's with their field presence problem (BTH, Solemn, anything).

 

Also being a Level 5 works with most of the NK's when equipped (or Laundsallyn) for a quick Durendal and *poof*.

Drawing the Gemknight still sucks monkey dick

Blame on your luck boy :P

 

Well putting this in non-GemKnight.dek means you must be ready for the Vanilla monster to clog your hand. (Happen to me once, 1st turn, 2 vanilla clog my hand . . . just bad).

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Run discard outs like Twin Twisty! How I deal with it

God....that first one is such pure unadulterated cancer.

 

It's funny though, there were a few tournaments post EP with the old list and BA and Monarchs still managed to top even with Planet Azathoth

 

Stoma Psyframe work?!

It is especially fun in decks that utilize an E-Tele GhostBunny engine, as Seraphinite gives access to Stardust Dragon, who is fantastic right now.

Oh, right, nobdy plays Box of Friends.

[Kaiji]

GhostBunny is bad

Actually for the reasons Giga mentioned it functions well since it's one of the few defensive cards that acts as a combo piece, being able to make stardust without having to Pend summon or scarlight which is pretty busted since it can average around 5k on its own, stardust beats juggler and wavering eyes

Reminds me a lot of how OCG played Veiler to sync with Dragonpulse Magician in the early clownblade builds to make Ignister

Err when was this? Wasn't 4+4 always easier to do? Early early pepe used Veiler to make Trishula, but it was rare iirc. Like was this immediately after the Magican Deck came out?

 

ANYWAY, Hoppy's gonna be eating his words once Pepe and Magicans come out, so it's only a matter of time

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

I was going to say I was running ghost bunny because qli were still relevant and it was godly against them, but Fyreberd kinda just validated me as a player so that was cool.

Yeah really early definitely before DOCS. It wasn't so much that Veiler was used mainly for synchro plays (it requires your normal summon) but it could be either a defensive card when you don't need to normal summon it (opened joker) or a synchro play when you do need it (did not open slayer)
