Holding-Hand Genie [CDF1]

CPF1-JP019 Holding-Hand Genie

Level 4 DARK Fiend-Type Effect Monster

ATK 1000

DEF 1600

(1) Your opponent cannot target monsters you control for attacks, except this one.

(2) This card gains DEF equal to the the combined original DEF of all face-up Defense Position monsters you control, except this card.

 

I had a feeling this card would be released, but i was really hoping it would be buffed with a Summoner Monk battle position effect or even add a Zushin Counter per turn...

 

Ah well

[Althemia]

I was really holding out for this to be Zushin support as well, since it made sense..

Ah well, into the trash.

[Blake]

And here I was hoping it would give targeting protection to all other DEF monsters and give all DEF monsters effect destruction immunity.

 

One or both.

[Hello my name is Enguin]

It's not terrible but it really should've been targeting protection too.

[Dokutah]

unless i'm wrong, i recall in the Org discussion mentioning that  there should be a few empty space left.... buffed Scrum Force maybe?

[~British Soul~]

Other than the fact you can control multiple copies now, bit disappointed they left the rest of the effects as-is as targeting protection would've been nice. Though I'm not surprised we're getting this considering Zushin is a thing.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Not surprised, outside if like 10 cards, the collector packs have been just that, nostalgic Collector packs, not really top tier sheet

[~Faytl~]

Team Taiyo were steadfast BEFORE it was COOL.

[Toffee.]

In an era in which, basically, all the obscure 'anime to IRL' cards tend to get some kind of considerable buff.... This, being mostly untouched, is a bit of a let down.

[Draconus297]

Too bad Superheavies can't turn other monsters into Superheavies, otherwise the "All Superheavies can attack in Defense Position" clause one of the Synchros has could make this thing into a monster worth respecting.

[Tinkerer]

It's kinda funny you mention Summoner Monk. That'd probably be the most effective way of getting this into play with a substantial DEF. 3200 isn't anything to sneeze at, though it's still outed very easily.

 

BTW, When was this used in the show?

[~British Soul~]

@Tythe: When 5Ds faced Team Taiyou, it was used to protect Key Mace so they can get out Zushin.

It was used in 5D's during the Grand Prix tournament used by team Taiyo.

 

EDIT: ninja'd

 

OT: Iam glad that we can summon more than one of this to protect the normal monster in battle but yeah, we need a reliable targeting protection to support the level 1 normal monster to last longer.

[evilfusion]

Ugh...why is this so terrible? And why was Zushin given such a terrible RL Summoning Condition, too?

 

This card could be funny with things like Unity or Shield and Sword, but it feels really disappointing as it is right now. I know the cards used by Team Taiyou were supposed to be borderline trash cards, even for that "era" of Yu-Gi-Oh, but now those cards REALLY aren't aging well if they're being released.

 

And 5Ds had an advantage to the RL game - It was still legal in the anime to NS in face-up DEF (Zexal is when that changed in the anime).

[Azuh]

I guess setting the card is somewhat a bluff that can be used. Having 1600 DEF is pretty high and it does add other monsters DEF

[♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪]

Can this be comboed with "Labyrinth Wall" for 4600 DEF?

It's first effect is quite risky since 1000 ATK means taking quite a lot of damage........

[Sleepy]

Its colors make me think of Scootaloo from MLP....

 

*cough*

Basically, useless.

It needed to switch itself into Defense Position somehow, effect targeting protection, effect destruction protection, and possibly a Summoner Monk-like effect for Level 1 vanillas for the sake of flavor...... plus Tuner status.

 

Not asking for direct Zushin support, but you shouldn't be jumping through hoops with position changing effects for your intended combo at this day and age.

If you swarmed enough with this card + Inverse Universe, would it retain the boosted DEF converted into ATK?

Level 4 DARK Fiend-Type Effect Monster

ATK 1000

DEF 1600

(1) If you control a Level 1 monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand), then, switch all Level 1 monsters to Defense Position, if any.

(2) Your opponent cannot target monsters you control for attacks, or card effects, except "Holding-Hand Genie".

(3) This card gains DEF equal to the the combined original DEF of all face-up Defense Position monsters you control, except "Holding-Hand Genie".

(4) You can Banish this card from your Graveyard: Add from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand 1 "Zushin the Sleeping Giant".

(5) Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 1 Normal Monster; place Zushin Counters on all Level 1 Normal Monsters you control, so that they have the same amount of Zushin Counters as the target.

 

^it gains only the original stats so it doesn't need to exclude other copies of itself for the +DEF effect to prevent an infinite loop there.

As for the rest.... just boosting it up a bit more and potentially breaking it =9

 

 

 

Btw, I see what you did there with that avatar.
