Herald of Orange Light

[Blake]

• LIGHT Fairy
• Tuner
• Lv. 2 (Omega access, Arc Light with Petit, easy to revive)
• Gives you a play first turn when you're on the draw

 

I'm not sure how much merit this card has for Cyber Angels, but there are at least points to discuss in that regard. While it's not optimal, it can also be done under Saffira to set her off and not die, when you can't set up Herald + Saffira.

It has some uses in Cloudians as it can set-up for Storm Dragon and it isn't uncommon to have one spare to discard, especially if using Smoke Ball as it is a complete dead draw.

come up with a reason to summon omega in that deck

 

the answer is probably related to summoning beatrice with two rituals, or a ritual and like a malicious or some stupid sheet

[Blake]

come up with a reason to summon omega in that deck

Simple.

 

Recycling your spells. You banish Hymn/Machine Angel regularly, and putting them back in grave is multi-purpose. Either giving you more of the "9 lives" approach OR giving you more ability to revive with sanctuary.

 

Worth it? IDK, but there's a definite reason.

Why not just run Red Resonator though?  Like I know this is a fairy and can negate stuff, but it doesn't have a whole lot beyond that.  Red Res allows you to easily turn Cyber Petit Angels in hand into Herald of the Arc Light, AND go for Omega if needed.  Plus it can be easily searched.

 

Not saying that this isn't worth a shot, I'm just having trouble seeing the long term merit.  Maybe there's some kind of combo...?  idk

this is more searchable, accessible via the field spell, and actually does something pretty powerful when not being used as a tuner

well that's obvious, but I dunno if it's good enough. it probably is, I just underrate the banishing effects for no good reason.

 

obv play zombie cyber angels

doy I completely forgot the whole gimmick is they search any fairies.

However I'm still not completely convinced this would be astoundingly good, but tbh the fairy typing is everything now that I think about it.  You can throw 1 into pretty much any build and have a hard time being actually punished for doing so.  In fact running both Red Res and this in some kind of combination doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[byak]

red -> petit angel into arc light is a good combo but I don't think it's better than just normal summoning a petit or a manju, arc light to me seems very slow and awkward unless you're combining it with a ritual summon turn 1

 

I think there's enough reason to play this card since you can go like turn 1 beatrice kristya add back orange herald and that can be pretty difficult to break, especially with like one or two rituals graved after

 

if you cared about stormforth you could meme even further beyond and play green herald

It's effect negation on a handtrap. meaning just like the spanish inquisition, it's hard to prepare for. being a fairy/tuner is an added bonus under the name of synergy. like other hand traps, you can disrupt your opponent out of nowhere, but unlike other hand traps, you can use something like sanctuary to bring back either this guy as a tuner, or bring back the other monster you discarded. it has more synergy with the deck's main combos, thanks to the LIGHT/Fairy typing, and in addition, it has the more favorable effect against decks like Kozmo (negating the pilots) or Blue-eyes (negating the lower level monster searches). it doesn't completely beat out red resonator, but it's not behind it in applications either.

[Slinky]

TG Striker > Red Resonator anyway, because it doesn't die to effect negation.

TG Striker > Red Resonator anyway, because it doesn't die to effect negation.

 

That's a really narrow interpretation, especially considering Striker is worse than Red Resonator going first.

[Blake]

I mean, I know I run a build with tech engines (BriFu, Deskbots) in order to raise the power ceiling/help you hit Cyber Petit more optimally, but... In such case, this is a better second drop for BriFu than Trick Clown/random ritual, depending on situation for the former.

 

I'm not saying it's a definite good choice, but something that is at least worth a talk about, especially with how searchable it is/how searching it makes hands that go Saffira but don't go herald better.
 

EDIT: Forgot the rest of my post cause smart.

 

I also think the other tuners are bad.

 

Yes, Arc Light/6/8 access is nice, but... Outside of RedRes/Striker -> Petit, the plays aren't worth it.

 

RedRes only synergizes with petit, who isn't really worth running more than 2 of (if even, I think it's only worth 1 copy), and Striker is only good T2... Not even T1.

 

Like, this is a deck that needs strong early game plays, which is why I'm working with Deskbots/BriFu in order to find things that enable and empower your plays.

 

And I chose not to run terrortop + red because it's worse than Deskbots aside from T1.

 

RedRes and Striker... don't do that. Most tuners don't. The only tuners worth it are in the form of an engine OR in the form of a searchable card, like above. You could run Earth, for example, but that has less overall utility.

I mean, the only reason I considered Striker is because I can actually use Manju with it, and the plays that it opened were nice. But overall, right now, unless Mathematician came up to more than 1 and you could run GUB with it; the good options that offer versatility with the other plays (allowing you to synch and use your normal summon for Manju or w/e at the same time), strong use regardless of what your opponent does or does not have, or late-game viability beyond one use just aren't really there yet. Until Koomy makes some really nifty new tuners that work without a dedicated engine; you gotta make the best with what you got.

[Valkyrus]

This card is extremely underrated in Cyber Angels. In my opinion it can partially replace Herald of Perfection as it is harder to predict (unless you searched it), but even if you can predict it, it's harder to stop since it's a hand trap. Also, it can be recycled with Saffira. Having it at 1 or even 2 is enough, as it can be searched by Benten and Painful Escape. And even in the Graveyard it has merit as a Tuner that can be SS-ed with Ritual Sanctuary.

 

This card wins games. It's a Veiler+Ghost Ogre in one, with the exception of the additional minus, but considering its power and searchability it's a fair trade in my opinion.

 

It can't even be compared with Red Resonator or Striker because those have only 1 use- as tuners. And let me tell you, Red Resonator is slow and suboptimal unless you open with Cyber Petit Angel, and if you're just going to NS it without using its effect it's as good as any level 2 tuner out there.
