The Slime Lord Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I know that Snipe Hunter is going to be Limited, but in recent duels, I have found that Snipe Hunter has been the reason I have lost everytime. Does anyone here think it is a little too overpowered or it can change the game around a little too easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP Sage Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah you spend all that time trying to gat whatever monster out and then at the cost of one card boom gone. It also makes clearing the backfeild at no cost to easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoserver Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 It can be good, pitching cards you want in the grave. Frog namely, or monsters for POA. It's a luck card, just a very good odds luck card. Overpowered? Nah. I've seen people kill themself by overusing the effect. Anyway, it being limited is fine.

Guest Star Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 personally, I think it should be banned. maybe if it's effect included, "once per turn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, instead of having a 66.667% chance of destroying something and a 33.334% of failing, its 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Star Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 i hate dueling against snipe. in a sky scourge deck, not only does it destroy cards, it gets monsters in the graveyard. It's broken, plain and simple. most of the cards in cyberdark impact weren't good, Snipe should have been ultra rare in it. Then, not everyone would have one.

hablab Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Beforeit was Limited, i won a duel using 2 Snipes. Just 2 Snipes. No Spells or Traps either. I know personally how broken it is. I'm very happen it's Limited...One word though: Sangan. lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 This has happened to me before. I have a Horus LV8, Spirit Reaper, D.D. Warrior Lady, and Royal Decree on my side of the field (got them in a anti-spell/trap lock ;-)). They summon Snipe Hunter and discard all 4 cards in their hand (which included a Jinzo) and blow up everything on my side of the field. Then they use Call on Jinzo and attack me directly for 3900 damage. I draw a Mirror Force (which I can't use, but set it down anyway). Next, they use Snipe's effect and kill my Mirrior Force and attack me with another 3900 damage and I lost. Before all of this happened, I had about 7000 Life Points and my opponent had less than 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Slime, its probably only good when E plays it, cuz he always has like 5 cards in his hand, and they are all dragons, and he doesnt need them so he can just discard until its effect works, then summon ultimate dragon once he takes out all of your cards. it is really annoying, but in a duel between two Monarch Decks, its not gonna be that great seeing as you want to keep the cards in your hand.

It's not every day an anti spell/trap lock gets shattered, especially by 1 monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 ^^it happens a lot too. its only because my brother (the one who did that) usually has 5 or six cards in his hand somehow and discards all of them until he destroys the cards he wants to destroy.

The Slime Lord Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 He also just gets lucky with Snipe Hunter. I usually have to discard up to 3 things to finally destroy something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 yeah i dont even use Snipe Hunter anymore cuz i have to discard cards, and i hate discarding cards. i used it in my fiend deck because i was trying to dump fiends for Necrofear.

Sartorius Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Snipe Hunter isn't THAT good. First off it can be a -1 by not rolling correctly, but it can be a +2 if you roll correctly and pitch frog. On the chance element, a 2 in 3 chance isn't bad and certainly is not broken. It takes a good player to use it in the right situation and take advantage of using priority with it's effect to hit a monster. You NEVER, NEVER use it to kill f/d spells/traps unless you will possibly win that turn or if you must destroy the spell/trap or force it's activation to your benefit. Star, I think, suggested that it should have a "once per turn" effect, but then Snipe wouldn't be good and would be practically useless. Who wants a monster with a 2 in 3 of destroying a card with an effect that can only be used once a turn? It'd cause you to lose games quicker than you can say Chicken Wings.

HORUS Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 lol chicken wings? yeah its only REALLY good in a deck where you are trying to dump monsters, otherwise you have to get rid of cards you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sartorius Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 New Era: That must have been a bad player then. A good player would get rid of your monsters then risk the ATK. CAPS LOCK IS NOT CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, yo. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you are Chaos's cousin, it ends up as a -4 (rolls 1, 1, 6, 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
