Metalphosis Combination
Continuous Trap
(1) Once per turn, if a Fusion Monster is Fusion Summoned: You can target 1 “Metalphosis” monster in your Graveyard that has a lower Level than that Fusion Monster; Special Summon that monster.
(2) If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: Add 1 “Metalphosis” monster from your Deck to your hand.

 

Not what I expected, but it makes Fusion Summoning with them in the hand a bit better. Also, it is for any Fusion Monster, so you could put some HEROs in as well

Well well... So they now have Graveyard plays, eh?

 

This effect looks like it can stack, so 2 on the field means you can SS 2 Metalphosi off of 1 fusion which is pretty cool considering what they do. I feel there's a loop here somewhere...

 

I do enjoy its synergy though, you can pop this yourself for a spell/trap set plus a monster search. It doesn't even need to be face-up for that and it's not OPT, so a single Metal + this = full scale + a pendulum summonable monster + a set Metalphosis Spell/Trap.

:SeemsGood:

 

I like. The fact that it's graveyard focus gives you more insenitive to use materials from you hand so that you get less recurring resources on you pendulum summon. On that front the design is solid, and something more pendulums should be working towards TBH.

 

While there's still the issue of the fusions not being too spectacular, at least now the actual summons can be done with far more ease and consume less net resources, so unlike most other fusion based decks you don't need a ton of spectacular monsters if you can just as easily make 2+ fusions without investing too hard. The deck seems to have potential. I wanna see how it plays out before I call it, but for now they at least seem less degenerate than Igknights, which is a good thing.

Well, that explains why Cardinal is so much worse than Orihulk - when you summon Cardinal, you can also get Orihulk out of the Graveyard.

 

This card looks very good though, for the above, as well as other recursion, plus your ability to search out both the Fusion and a monster to your hand by destroying it. I won't be surprised if they mostly got Traps or Quickplays though. Setting Spells you can just flip up has some serious abuse potential.

 

Definitely looking cooler than Igknights.

What does that mean?

Black's posts in the Silvbird thread. He'd expressed the opinion of using cards that would be greatly advantageous, but would end with the Metalphosis monsters in the Grave. At that point, I was personally of the opinion that that seemed too risky, however with the reveal of this card, it it not only viable, but perhaps preferred.

 

...then again, the reveal of practically any spell/trap would've changed how they were currently being played anyway.

Such is the danger of making a full judgment on an archetype before its entire roster has been revealed.

Honestly, I don't think it was a judgment. I was gonna mention this in that thread, but didn't want to get involved. Wasn't Highlander speaking on how they could be played at the time? It is a completely valid way to see them as we don't know when more stuff will be revealed. It would be like making a topic on Volcanics 2 days before Blaze Accelerator Reload was revealed. This shouldn't be treated any different even though we knew more support was coming "soon". They had 1 playstyle and with the reveal of a card, they now have another. Simple as that.

This was my point. Not what Tink said.

 

Unlike Igknights and Qli, where we got every initial releasemonster up front in a monster-centric deck (Qli had floodgate implications, but those already existed for them to use), except for Towers and the Level 8, we only got 3-4 monsters, 2 ED bosses, and 1 Spell for an S/T centric archetype.

 

Given that it's a Fusion Pendulum deckw ith the option to fuse from the hand, it was entirely possible that the deck would get a means to recur from the grave, given that encourages you to fuse when you can, not to wait for perfect setup, at least in theory.

 

We did not know how the deck actually played, and we still don't 100% know, so it was/is wrong to declare their playstyle and shut out other ideas.

No it's not. Volcanic was a complete archetype that was fully released, then got a legacy support.

 

This was an archetype based around its S/T, but we only knew 1 S/T. It's not remotely comparable to Volcanics. It's, as I've said over and over, closer to Igknight/Qli, except this case doesn't give you the core cards to make the monsters work.

Fine, maybe not Volcanics more like... Shiranui before and after the reveal of Sage. Regardless, we are of differing opinions and they are just that, opinions. I personally like playing with them as they are and when new cards are revealed, change accordingly.

 

...but this is getting off topic. Why does it look like they're flying at Caped Baldy on a feathered dragon?

No, it's not like Sage. Sage was released 2 sets after the initial release, and it is the same case as Volcanics, minus the word "Legacy" as a modifier for support. Again, it's Qli/Igknight, and citing random examples of cards released seperately from their initial/earlier support does not mean anything.

 

Whether you play Metalphosis or not, they do NOT have a "playstyle" yet, because we don't have enough info revealed to say such. This card has the potential to change that in its own right, though it is a bit slow due to being a trap. At least it floats if they remove it, which helps a fuckton.

Twin twister looks so good in this deck now, popping your own combination and putting crap in the grave seems really nice now. Galaxy cyclone cant be awful either. As black said, still not really enough to test properly, but it's gonna be fun.

The idea of going off even when your oponent fusion summons something seems hilarious, at least in the mirror matches

 

I'm tempted to run shaddolls with this. Since Grysta isnt that bad and they can fusion during the opp turn

 

I agree, the fact it counts ANY Fusion Summon could make for some interesting deck mixes. I hope they get more S/T that can be used at least sort-of generically.

funny when im testing [not fully-yet] metalphosis with Metalphosis Combination face-up and go against TrainDolls

 

each time they fuse (mostly Shekhinaga) the trap triggers and revive orihulk, then pop* for cardinal if you have the said materials
