Natural Gaodrake


Recommended Posts

They don't even give the Vanilla Synchros any decent stats. Gaia Knight the Force of Earth was basically Goyou-but-worse' date=' and now this card's 3000 ATK is easily matched or outclassed by other Synchro monsters of the same level or lower.

They overestimate Normals.

 

Based on your comment about how a 5000 ATK vanilla Synchro wouldn't be any good, it would be just as accurate to say that you underestimate them.

Most likely the former. :X

There's a lot of overlap.

 

What people tend to forget among cries of "lolatk" is that games are ended by summoning lots of big monsters and attacking with them. They also forget that having ridiculous amounts of "lolatk" can effectively function as monster removal.

 

Compare a hypothetical Level 8 5000 ATK effectless Synchro to, say, Dark End Dragon, and you'll see what I mean.

Loletelekrebonsmalicious.

 

However, would it still be good if it were Level 11+?

 

(Malicious + Psychic Commander (E-Tele, IIRC) = Level 9)

(Malicious + Rose, Warrior of Revenge (RoTA) = Level 10)

This card is actually worse than Gaia Knight.

 

False.

 

Gaia Knight the Force of Earth is essentially an inferior version of Goyou Guardian: it has the same Level, summon conditions, Attribute, and Type, but lower stats and no effect. It could theoretically be used with Non-Spellcasting Area, but in that case you could just as easily Summon a Frostasaurus.

 

Natural Gaodrake, for all its terribleness, is not any specific card except worse. As such, it manages to slot into an unfilled niche, albeit an obscure and not-terribly-useful niche.
