[OCG] Union Text Update

[-kyo-]

All are confirmed to have the following text changes:

 

Previously, their texts specified that a monster could only be equipped with 1 Union monster at a time. This is now omitted from their current texts.

 

Previously when unequipping, they could only Special Summon themselves in Attack Position. They can now Special Summon themselves in Attack Position or Defense Position.

 

For Y and Z: Previously, they only destroyed themselves when their equipped monster would be destroyed by battle. They now destroy themselves when their equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect.
For Heavy Mech Support Platform: Previously, it only destroyed itself when its equipped monster would be destroyed (no specific method). It now destroys itself when its equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or by card effect.

That's...really awesome.

Unions needed this kind of boost to become relevant again.

[ÆƵ–]

Excellent... Now ABC can really get going.

[~British Soul~]

Yeah, I can certainly dig this change. Dunno why they didn't do this sooner tbph.

[Blake]

It's only confirmed to be on Y, Z, A, B, C, and both support platforms, NOT all Unions.

 

We only have confirmation for those 7.

[Trebuchet MS]

This change is something that needs to happen to all of them, anyway, to make them relevant again.

[Just Crouton]

As it should've always been.

[Toffee.]

Yeah, I can certainly dig this change. Dunno why they didn't do this sooner tbph.

Because were lazy fucks who didn't really expect to make Union stuff again.

But now they have, and figured they would make everything else in-line with ABC.

It's only confirmed to be on Y, Z, A, B, C, and both support platforms, NOT all Unions.

 

We only have confirmation for those 7.

I suspect it will happen over time. At the very least it suggests W-Wing will get its turn.

[vla1ne]

please, allow me to equip multiple oilmen to my machines.

[Expelsword]

Can we get a change on the Pendulum text of the Zefra monsters?

They could really use a boost too, Konami.

[cr47t]

About time Konami. ABC could have used this all along. :)

[Sleepy]

I've been saying that for years now. Union's effect should be treated as an updatable keyword rather than what we had.

 

The first wave was only summoned in attack position, only protected from battle destruction, and only had 1 union at a time.

Then the platform actually used to be protection from destruction in general, so it was a sort of midpoint. It is here because it did get updated in the other aspects.

 

When I started reading the article I expected most of those points, except the Relinquish one because they've specifically ruled otherwise since the inception of the mechanic. I wanna use Give and Take to give Koitsu to my opponent and equip it to a D HERO Plasma. I mean, 5000 ATK Skill drain on legs piercer with a 1 time destruction protection? Sign me up. Or at least, when they eventually update the other Unions that is....

 

Burning and Freezing beast sound fun too.
