Chaosix Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If this card was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, this effect activates at the end of each of your opponent's Battle Phases: Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand. This card must be in the Graveyard to activate and resolves this effect. its one of my favorite cards from when i first started. also its getting reprinted. discuss.

Snatch Steal Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 2000 ATK level 5 with an inability to be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. I see a lot of red flags. The effect is cool, but it's painstakingly slow, especially given some decks love discarding cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebuchet MS Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Old card that hasn't aged well. Then again, a lot of old cards in this game don't age well. This would be a fair bit more effective if its effect didn't care about how it got in the Graveyard, or if its effect triggered at different times.

Resident Fascist Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 If the game wasn't terribly designed around resourceless graveyard spam, this would still be a good card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notcleverusername Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 If the game wasn't terribly designed around resourceless graveyard spam, this would still be a good card.Nah even then it'd still be pretty crap, needing to be destroyed by battle first for a monster that's pretty hard to field for an effect that can be counterplayed by playing out your hand/setting things is very subpar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty good if you could just have it work regardless of how it hit the grave. Like sending this off Shaddoll Fusion would be so funking dope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Being a Tribute Summon back in the day with such low stats is the main thing that made it bad back when it came out. It was never good enough, much less when Special Summons were close to non-existent. However, that puts the nail on the coffin for this card is how its aged. If it hadn't had the above issue, "destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard" would have been a respectable trigger, but not anymore nowadays. Not for something that is as slow as this card. There was and to a degree still there is some value to its effect being as slow as it is. For one, it will keep putting pressure for the rest of the game, and sometimes can force key cards down into the field when they are not ready for use. Then again, nowadays the discard can even be beneficial for the opponent more than harmful, so even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
