Brittle Ice Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 So, people think that Rainbow Dragon is hard to Summon...I have a message for you:You know nothing about Crystal Beasts!Just because you need to have 7 different Crystal Beasts in the Graveyard or on the field means it is hard to Summon?Let's see.You have CB Sapphire Pegasus, you Summon it and put 1 CB in your S & T Zone. They attack it and you activate Crystal Pair - Battle Damage is 0, but Pegasus is in the Graveyard.Now you have 2 CB in the S & T Zone + 1 in the Graveyard.Then you activate Rare Value and send one of them to the Graveyard in order to draw 2 new cards...And then you activate Crystal Tree + Crystal Blessing= 2 CB placed in the S & T Zone + by Tributing Crystal Tree another different Crystal Beast= 4 different Crystal BeastsThen, Crystal Beacon= Sp.Summ. one CB from S & T Zone...Pegasus for example. Activate it's ability = 6 different CB.+ one more thing. You haven't Normal Summoned a monster this turn...So do it! There you go! 7 different CB in second turn...Very complicated isn't it?You might think that there is no chance that someone could draw these cards...And you are in right! This is just example...I didn't mention comboes with Crystal Release, Promise...+ many more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 It's possible in a dedicated Rainbow Dragon deck, as a total of 9 cards can be used to get it and there are many combos that get the proper amount of cards in the field/grave. But not possible in a Crystal Beast deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittle Ice Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 The question is:Is Rainbow Dragon hard to Summon?+ I run a Crystal Beast Deck...With a few added cards, it works nice...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 you just used a 6+ card combo to summon a beatstick. It's easier to use Exodia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Of course it's easy to summon. But is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 You are both bad at this game. Just count the number of cards he used for this combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexh Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 you just used a 6+ card combo to summon a beatstick.

Exiro Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 You have CB Sapphire Pegasus' date=' you Summon it and put 1 CB in your S & T Zone. They attack it and you activate Crystal Pair - Battle Damage is 0, but Pegasus is in the Graveyard.Now you have 2 CB in the S & T Zone + 1 in the Graveyard.Then you activate Rare Value and send one of them to the Graveyard in order to draw 2 new cards...And then you activate Crystal Tree + Crystal Blessing= 2 CB placed in the S & T Zone + by Tributing Crystal Tree another different Crystal Beast= 4 different Crystal BeastsThen, Crystal Beacon= Sp.Summ. one CB from S & T Zone...Pegasus for example.

This is just example...I didn't mention comboes with Crystal Release, Promise...+ many more...[/quote'] 8-card combos that take 3 turns are so competitive.Especially when your opponent activates, let's say, Torrential Tribute at the end. Also, this combo requires you to activate Crystal Beacon when all your s/t card zones are occupied. Doing that makes you look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstract [Atrocity] Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 use exodia, or Hamon :Pbetter yet, just do Abundance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonisanoob Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 hmm the sad thign is ive seen a good cb deck tht uses rainbow dragon he dropped 2 on me >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Star Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 If you want to run Rainbow Dragon and have a chance at winning, run CrystalSworn. Even that doesn't work well, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Rainbow Dragon is only good in a deck specifically designed to support it. It can be good once it hits the Field, but yes it is hard to summon. It also is useless early in the game. Could you imagine drawing 3 of these on your 1st turn? I know it is unlikely, but it just makes my point. Rainbow Dragon is good, but too hard to play so it isn't very competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 You are both bad at this game. Just count the number of cards he used for this combo. I never said this combo was any good, but there you go making wild assumptions again. It's not hard to get out in a dedicated Rainbow deck with about 1/4 of the cards be able to bring out Rainbow Dragon (Path, Gravity and the Dragon himself) and a decent draw engine and Sapphs and the such. I already knew it wasn't worth it however, and said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaos Pudding Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Rainbow Dragon is not easy to summon, nor is the amount of work that goes into summoning it worth the actual card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lightning Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 The deck would have to use Crystal Release and foolish burial to speed things up. And maybe lighstworns. Not worth it. its WAY better to foolish/PoC it. that devastating. Ive tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I didn't read your little combo because it is to much work for a beatstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Id rather run Hamon than this and Hamon sucks because it contriadicts both of the best Crystal Beast win conditions. A 7 card combo to summon a 4000 ATK beatstick is stupid when there are better ways to summon 4000 ATK beatsticks. Hamon >>>> This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Did I just see a 6-card-plus combo that Summons a beatstick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes you did, your eyes are not decieving you. Now I will go cry hysterically and wet myself in laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aximil Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I run a Crystal Abundance OTK deck. I threw a Rainbow Dragon in for the fun of it one day. It honestly doesn't get in the way. It's fun to summon just 4 Crystal Beasts and then bring Rainbow Dragon out, even though you were going to win anyways. Over a couple months, I slowly changed it to a Rainbow Dragon OTK deck. Very easy to do. And, very easy to get out. With my deck anyways. I only use one of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Shocker Android Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 You know I can use stratos to search malicious, then sp summon dark grepher using malicious, discard a dark to dump a dark and sp summon dark armed dragon. It's like a 2 card combo (seriously having a dark monster in your hand doesn't count in tele-dad) and both can be searched by rota in a deck that draws 10 times more than a crystal beast deck. Plus it sp summons a GO(O)D beatstick, all that in a single turn. When you compare rainbow dragon to today's boss monster (gyzarus, dad, jd) he's a million times harder to summon and has a crappy effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aximil Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 This isn't about being good. This is just saying it's not hard to bring out. In the right deck. I still prefer my Lightsworns over my Crystal Beast deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aximil Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 LightBeasts are the wierdest deck I've ever used that works. By the way, Wetlands+3 Starboys+Unifrog+Poison Draw Frog= Easily beats every kid in my town. Back to Rainbow Dragon. It has great art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marly Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've ran Crystal Abundance Otk, Ancient city Lockdown, and a normal Crystal Beast deck. In Crystal Abundance = I ran it and it was ALWAYS a dead draw.In Ancient City = No, in this deck you don't even use ALL the CB'sNorm. CB's = Hamon, is much easier to summon, and Rainbow isn't worth it. I suggest adding a Elemental Hero Neos, a Future Fusion, and ONE Rainbow Dragon. Using this, Rainbow Neos is easier to summon then Rainbow dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
