The Great Wall (written)

"The Great Wall"

 

Lore: Special Summon 3 "Wall Tokens" (Rock-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 1000) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon. As long as there is at least 1 "Wall Token" on your side of the Field, all monsters you control (besides Tokens) gain 300 DEF. Once per turn, if you control no "Wall Tokens": Special Summon 1 "Wall Token" in Defense Position. You can send 1 Rock-Type monster from your side of the Field or your hand to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Wall Token" in Defense Position.

 

The point of this card is to (first and foremost) stall your opponent with Tokens and give your own monsters little DEF bump.

New member, you forgot to mention if this card is a Continuous Trap, Continuous Spell, etc.

 

Aside from that, this card is just... Not very useful aside from weak stalling. We already have Scapegoat, which does not provide the DEF boost although it gives 4 tokens with one card. However, due to the fact that we don't really need to do removal by battle, the monsters boosted by this effect wouldn't stay on the field long enough to benefit you.

 

Of course, if this card had been made during the time where Battle Traps dominated, it would be a different case. Now, it just feels as if this is merely a low tier Rock Stun support.

 

Other than that... I don't know. It's a fun casual card I suppose, but that's about it.

I'll be frank, it's not good... anywhere.

 

The minor DEF boost is not going to matter since offensive pressure is favoured. Why make it difficult for the opponent to beat through your defenses when you can do the same by smashing through their monsters, thereby leaving nothing for them to, well, attack you with?

 

Rock Stun will not easily give up their own monsters just to put a 0/1000 Wall that can't even be used as Tribute Summon fodder. Very few Rock Decks would willingly give up their own monsters for this purpose when they have more efficient means of doing so.

 

Tokens can't be sent to the Graveyard as a cost to activate cards or effects. Tributed, yes. But not sent to Graveyard.

 

Anyway, I am not quite impressed with this card as I struggle to find a Deck that can use it, given the presence of more efficient stalling methods.
