CrabHelmet Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Can somebody please explain to me what makes arcana force ex the dark ruler good? Whether or not he's "good" is irrelevant. Banworthiness and goodness do not strictly correspond to one another; The Six Samurai - Zanji is superior to Self-Destruct Button, but only one of those two deserves to be legal. The part where he single-handedly inflicts 8000 damage in one Battle Phase, and thus has a built-in OTK, is the part that makes him banworthy.

CrabHelmet Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 oh so whats the quickest way to bring him out making it abusable? and what do you mean by the luigi thing? There is no single "quickest" way; there are an extremely wide variety of two-card combos that can be used to get three monsters on the field.

Tabris Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Play Zombies, get this card to the field, and hope he gets Heads. Still, I don't think this deserves any more attention than what The Light Ruler's gettin' now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochi Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 wow!! because of this card everybody changed the discurse... until yesterday was "BAN THE WORLD!!" now is "BAN THE DARK RULER!!" doesn,t matter who, the people wants one arcana force on the ban list... and i don't know why, they're still too situational cards...

Indestructible Chaoserver Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Not a good card. In current meta it wouldn't even hit the field before whatever would be tributed to bring him out was Gyzarus'd/mumillo'd/judgment dragoned/DAD'd/Run over by miscellanious meta card.

.Frostpaw Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ban it. Not sure why we didn't hit it sooner... It most definately deserves the banhammer, but I own 2 of it, so I don't want it to be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Damn. And I thought this card was bad. This card is broken. 3 card OTK involved. Any weak machine + Machine Duplication, tribute for this, hope to get heads and swing for game. Ban the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstract [Atrocity] Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Good card is good. I was playing this before all of you, on DMU >>This guy's got potential, easy to bring out in a swarm deck, 8000 damage (mibbe) and a field nuke. Also, everyone I knew could care less about EX until Crab decided to brinbg it up. Funny, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Star Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Bump because I think this card should get re-evaluated. In a format where it's so easy to get monsters on the field (Malicious, Junk Synchron, Gigaplant, Zombie Master, and possibly Goyo Guardian) and so easy to keep monsters on the field (Krebons), this card could have a devastating effect on the Meta in a good deck. Since it doesn't specify which Graveyard you have to send the monsters to, could monsters that you Special Summon with Goyo Guardian be used to Summon this card?

Psycho Shocker Android Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 The meta is terrible enough now that it is physically impossible for any card to have a devastating effect on it.

Umbra Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Wolf: The purpose of an OTK is to inflict enough damage to reduce the opponent to 0, or winning the duel by card effects, in one turn. A Lockdown is normally, not an OTK. Not saying that it's bad: Yata-Lock usually takes more than one turn to accomplish. Lockdowns, if handled properly, renders your opponent helpless.
