Dark Sanctuary [DP17]

[mshends]

Field Spell Card
If you place a "Spirit Message" card by the effect of "Destiny Board", you can Special Summon that card as a Normal Monster (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). If Summoned this way, that card is unaffected by card effects, except "Destiny Board", also it cannot be targeted for attacks, but does not prevent your opponent from attacking you directly. When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Toss a coin, and if the result is heads, negate the attack, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that opponent monster's ATK.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHJHHHHHHHH!

Destiny Board support!

 

*dies*

 

OT: It's cool, I suppose, but why?

[~British Soul~]

With this getting an IRL release, I'm now getting an image of Bakura being one of the combatants if they do a VA duel at the NA WCQ this year.

[Hexanort]

this is pretty cool, you can now protect the board with imperial custom, throw a spirit barrier and you also save from direct attack.....still easily broken by castel though...(need more stuff that can protect s/t from being targeted)

[~British Soul~]

It also doesn't protect Destiny Board itself, so you can get rid of that to kill the messages.

This is both so adorable and so evil at the same time. Evil, cause I'll see it a lot, and it'll take a while to deal with, and alt win conditions are annoying anyway.

Adorable for the exact same reasons.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Weeeeird. Not only is it Destiny Board support, but it's also the first time a Spell Card can be Summoned (I think anyway).

[Delibirb]

YAAAAASSSSSS

 

So it is slightly changed from the anime, being direct Destiny Board support, while maintaining the basic idea of essentially having 10 Spell/Trap Zones, AND it has the built in Ghost of Dark Sanctuary, which is fair and balanced compared to the anime.

 

Also very happy the original art is being used.

 

10/10 will try.

[Hallohallo]

Heh, the effect is a representation of how Ghost of Dark Sanctuary worked in the anime (but without the LP gain). That's pretty cool.

Magical Hats.

[Hexanort]

Just realized, destiny board doesnt mention that the spirit message need to be placed by one destiny board effect, so with this i guess you can speed up the winning condition with multiple destiny boards

This is one of those cards I never thought wouldsee an actual release, yet here we are.

This is one of those cards I never thought wouldsee an actual release

 

Why?  After The Seal of Orichalcos and the numerous anime card release efforts Konami had undertaken over the past few years, why would you think that this would never be released?

Because this card literally existed as an anime answer to the manga effect of Dark Necrofear. 

 

Anyway, I love how this one card basically makes Destiny Board playable.

Has that stopped them before?  Granted, they did incorporate the possession effect in her IRL version too, so I do see your point.

[Slinky]

where are you guys getting 10 zones from?

this shits not on the card at all.

 

EDIT: I see it now. I thought it special summoned itself and not the spirit message card. k, we're good,

[玄魔の王]

It's likely the reason Spell Sanctuary wasn't printed.

[Lee Cheng Men]

Oh boy! "Dark Sanctuary"! The card that I always wanted it to be released from the first anime! It took so long for waiting! :(

[Dokutah]

now now, since we just get freed of cloggy field (Bakura style baby~). time to play the game of "whose backrow suggestion is more evil?"

[ENMaker]

This is the best card they have ever released imo.

[Dragulas]

Never thought this would be released irl because of how gimmick its effect was, i guess they manage to somehow adapt it to the game mechanis.

It still doesnt protect destiny board, which is the one people is always after, and the field itself is also wide open.

What happen if i have a spirit message as a monster and the field leaves the field, will the whole D-board be destroyed or they return to spell/trap zone?

It Special Summons the messages as Normal Monsters, and the effect seems to be permanent, so they'll stay in the Monster Zones.

 

The difference is that when Dark Sanctuary is gone, you can do anything to them at that point.

[Bringerofcake]

Do these still occupy s/T zones?

[Dragulas]

Do these still occupy s/T zones?

No, because the whole point of this effect is using the board and still be able to play spells and traps. Otherwise you will be blocking yourself of playing monsters as well as S/T.

That and in the translation at least it doesnt say "Those cards are also still spell cards"

[Dokutah]

so to clear things up it seems that:

-it only turn a newly placed Spirit Massage into monster

-as above poster ninja'd me. yes the transformed spell is not treated as spell anymore

-the transformation into monster seem optional, so you can strategically place some as monster and place some as spell (i rather go all monster though)

-the unaffected by effect  other than the sanctuary and cannot be selected as attack target its permanent lingering effect that will still apply even when sanctuary is gone, so the only out (if needed) to these makeshift monster is Kaiju

 

so if somehow Destiny Board is doomed but we cleverly manage to prevent these Spirit Messenger  to get dragged too(get it? is now a monster so it no longer a message but a Messenger...its not funny is it?) its we have bunch of non-token level 1 DARK Invincible Fiends that you can't buff...tribute or material fodder i guess?

[Toffee.]

You know whats honestly the funniest part about This card? The fact that you can play 3 Destiny Boards, and then Summon a bunch of Messages as Normal monsters via This card's effect.
