[INOV] Tellarknight Vatraemus

[Darj]

I want to mention how fascinated I am with this card, mostly from a precedence standpoint. I mean, it breaks some flavor traits, the obvious one being a DARK Tellaknight when all of them have been LIGHT so far, then its unique Attribute-swapping effect to doesn't seem to be related to neither Tellarknights nor Shaddolls, also it's Construct, who was presumed dead, fused with Tellarknights. In a way, I consider the existence of this card gives card makers "green light" to come up with non-canonical card ideas that combine other DT archetypes and/or break their flavorful traits. For instance, personally I had thought in making a DARK Constellar Rank2 after Zefranaga, and now I got this card to support these kind of concepts, in a "the DT did X, so this card can potentially be a thing, too" perspective.

Thinking about it... it's not the first time the DT does something like this (e.g. Roach turning into Exciton and becoming LIGHT despite being an Evilswarm?), but it's nice to have another card as example.

So... Starve Venom in Tellars? I feel like that option hasn't been mentioned. Of course, a poly card would be dead in the hand without this guy out, but a man can dream.

Definitely not worth it in the slightest.

 

This is an amazing card for Tellars, but it's even better for Zefra. This card allows the Zefra-Nekroz-Shaddoll-Tellar-Yang Zing deck to access Triverr easily on top of all its other shenanigans, and I'm definitely going to build that deck when Vatlamayus hits Ygopro.

 

On a side note, why have this card and the Darklords not been updated to Ygopro yet?

Looked at this card again and now I'm wondering why it's DARK and has a DARK-shifting effect when both Tellarknights and Construct are LIGHT; from where the darkness comes from? I don't think it comes from Tierra/Infernoids either, since they are FIRE.

 

Regarding its effect, in addition to pseudo-quick effect Triverrs, I guess it also assists Tellarknights by allowing them to skip Summoning a 3rd Xyz Material for Deltheros or Triverr, and go for this and discard it instead; or discard anything else for that matter.

Also, I get the feeling that as a DARK/Warrior it gets support from, or synergizes with, something, but I can't tell exactly what. Wasn't it Phantom Knights?

 

It's artwork is really nice, btw: Construct in centaur form and with that stance gives me a hint of elegance or gracefulness. It reminds me of that boss of the snow mountain from Zelda: Majora's Mask, too.
