Face McShooty Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Alright, it's effect is based solely on its Hellfire lore, which reads as follows;Many have underestimated Etalpalli's powers. The last thing those people heard was the sound of her ocarina and the cawing of thousands of birds approaching in fury. When this card is targeted for an attack, you can Special Summon up to 4 Winged-Beast Type monsters from your hand, deck or Graveyard. You can only use this effect once while face up on the field. Now, the reason her effect is so OP'd, is due to the fact THOUSANDS of birds approach those who underestimate her, I could beef her level and her attack I suppose; but I'll leave that for you to decide!

Guest BGMCANN0N Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Well your opponent is definitely going to do anything in the power not to attack her which is almost effortless. So in one's case of using this card you have to force your opponent to attack, or make it so that there is more of an incentive to attack. Which is not easy as your opponent will more often than not find means to get rid of her before attacking her. Now is her Winged-Beast special summoning effect worth the effort to try and force your opponent in doing so, definitely. I mean you can Special Summon 3 "Sacred Cranes" and 1 more Winged Beast and go +7 in advantage. But, with that in mind you would just make a deck around her in order to accentuate such a gimmick. There is 1 card that I can think of that might make her effect go off if you have the proper incentive for them to enter their Battle Phase which is trap card called "Daunting Pose" which was recently leaked. It has a 2nd effect that forces your opponent to attack a monster it targets by simply banishing itself in the Graveyard. If you want to make her more applicable to other decks I say water down how many winged beast she summons, and give her effect more conditions to be triggered like say being targetted, or if she attacks, and with that in mind give her a solid OPT to prevent her from going to the broken side.

Face McShooty Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 It doesn't negate the attack, so you'd still take damage. And as far as the number goes, I'm trying to remain faithful to her lore in Hellfire, and I have it down on the bottom it can only be used once while face up on the field. The way I see it, if I had a chance to deal 1000+ dmg, even if it'd bring out 4 winged beasts, it'd be worth it if I had something to clear those out in my back row or even in my hand that I could use after the BP.

I think you misunderstood me. I never said it negated the attack nor did I question it that way. I merely said that your opponent is not going to want to attack her. And mind you most experienced players in the right mind would know that Card Advantage > Damage they do if they won't win the duel. Furthermore there is no Level, ATK, or DEF restriction on the Winged-Beast monsters so your opponent better be scared if they were put in the scenario where they were absolutely forced to attack her: I mean you can get out 3 "Mist Valley Apex Avian" and in most cases that means you have complete control over the game. And in the game currently as it is there are more ways to get rid of her than by battle (Raigeki, Dark Hole, Castel, Compulsory Evacution Device, etc). Let me give you an analogy. You want to get rid of a bee hive that is sprouting out on the side of your house. Would you want to hit it with baseball bat knowing full well that there are thousands of bees? Or would you want to call a pest exterminator, and have the spray the bee hive while you watch from a safe distance? And I get the card is for a lore. However, I was trying to introduce possibilities to make her effect more exploitable. Change the card at your own will or don't change it at all. Despite the mutual misunderstanding, I like the card concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I understand now, what if I add something like "During your opponent's Standby Phase, you can target 1 monster they control; that monster must attack this card if able."

And then I would say that she would be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
