A little (Goka)Plant support. Replaces SOF in a way.

Pic took around 20/25 min to edit.

 

 

Before you post, think. Then, think once more. Then post a smart, well-written, well-backed, critique. And for those who don't understand what that meant, don't post just "8/10".

 

Lore:

You can tribute this card to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard to your side of the field. During the End Phase of a turn this card was destroyed by a card effect, you can Special Summon it to your side of the field. If this card is Summoned this way, remove this card from play when it is removed from the field.

if its a FIRE Warrior-Type, why summon a plant? :S.

[Chevalier]

Goka is a FIRE Zombie, it works with SOF. This is primarily to bring Lonefire back.

[Man0waR]

ahhhhh kk. But still.

[Chevalier]

More, people?

[krazy_kid_ac3]

7/10 whats up with the border why not the pic too

[Chevalier]

Because it would look bad on the pic. As I said, say why you gave it that rate.

[Saiba Aisu]

Smeh, I don't really like the image when it's on a card.

 

The effect is really good, and it would probably replace Seed of Flame if it were a Plant. Since it's not, that would force players to run ROTA for it. Which, albeit, would be interesting to see in a (Goka)Plant Deck...

[Chevalier]

Who knows. There's other Rota targets you could splash in.

I think he looks good on the card. :\

[Saiba Aisu]

Smehhh...

 

He looks squashed, el pobre chiquito! =/!

[Chevalier]

Quality would've look worse if I normally uploaded it to Card Maker. Pic was 800x1142. So yeah.

[Shadowbreath]

Well the ocg is okay and the effect is blah. good if you like plants I guess. 7/10

[Chevalier]

The OCG is right, not okay. Please explain why the effect is blah. :\

Well the ocg isn't correct because a lot of the ocg used here that's considered correct isn't. The effect is for plants... plants are boring cards. Personal preference is why its blah, I don't much care for plants so its blah to me. Its one of those there opinions that seem so taboo now a days.

You're judging the card on how good it is in current Meta, not based on your personal opinion.

[Man0waR]

agree wit above post. P.S dont fight wit n00bz cuz thay r always wrong neway.

[Chevalier]

The word fight is being is used loosely. A fight is when both sides are equal. :\

[Skyson]

Both sides don't have to be equal in a fight. A fight is the act of contest in any represented form between two entities.

 

Obviously you distinguish yourself as someone who not only respects, but demands, quality ratings. I shall fulfill your request to the best of my ability.

 

Before anything, I'll preempt my post by saying that I like Plants. I actually dislike the direction Plants have gone as far as the Metagame goes, it's very boring. Lonefire, Tytannial, Black Rose, blow crap up, rinse repeat, throw in a crapload of revival, blah blah. I found fun in odd tech cards like Arcane Archer of the Forest, and I did a bit of depth into Black Garden and its uses. It's got some use to it, along with all the Token-spreading Plant cards, which everyone ignores. I think that filling up the field with useless Plant tokens (specifically your opponent's field) is fun, but the Metagame is all about fast face-bashing and it's no fun.

 

Anyways, this card.

 

The only Level 3 or lower Plant worth summoning, obviously, is Lonefire Blossom. So, at first glance, this is nothing more than a RotAble Lonefire recharger. We have Miracle Fertilizer, Blazewing Butterfly, Gigaplant, and other random cards that can do the same thing, while the latter two can still be on the field, and are actually plants to support the theme. This is no Night Rose Knight, so as a Warrior supporting Plants, it's unnecessary.

 

For some reason, you intended this to be compensation for Seed of Flame? A different type, less ATK and DEF, and a one-shot re-attempt at its effect if you set it as a bluff or get it destroyed somehow without using its effect. I don't like how Seed of Flame can only be pulled off when it's destroyed, but there are a lot of combos running around that can allow it to be good. This, however, has essentially one purpose, and that's to refresh a Lonefire Blossom.

 

Your other comment involved Goka, the Pyre of Malice. Something to destroy with its effect that will come back. Oddly enough, Seed of Flame would do the exact same thing, and would immediately pull up a Plant-type monster in its place when Goka blew it up. This does nothing more than re-appear a turn later, where Seed of Flame could've brought up a Lonefire Blossom for an immediate Plant from the Deck. In the situation of Goka, Seed of Flame is a better card in any case. It's a Warrior so it doesn't fit nearly as well into a Plant/Goka mix as, say, a Plant would.

 

Even when you revive it after its glorious combo with Goka, your next goal is to have it survive until your following turn. A 1000/1000, no matter what way you look at it, is not going to survive on the field without protection. So, the ability to be situational is what protects this, but that applies to anything.

 

Basically, this has little use outside of re-using Lonefire, and it would be #2 out of 2 in the "Warriors to Splash into a Plant Deck" line-up, right behind Night Rose Knight.

 

The second effect is mediocre and could've been something more supportive of Fire, since it is a "Pyre" Swordsman, and all. He supports plants, and revives himself, a Warrior. The Pyre in his name does nothing but imply that he can be used with Goka, albeit poorly.

 

For reviving Lonefire, he can fit into a Plant Deck. That's about it.

 

The artwork looks completely awkward for a Yu-Gi-Oh card. The art style, at least. I don't ever factor artwork into my ratings, though, because no matter how sparkly or shiny a card is, it has no impact on what the card does.

 

5/10.

[Chevalier]

The fact that he is able to be search out with Rota makes him good. Night Rose Knight is a horrible card.

 

He's better SOF because it needs to be destroyed first. Meaning that you need a -1 to bring out Lonefire, while with him you just play and tribute.

[Skyson]

Yes, because Plants are never going to be in your hand.

 

I wish I could play Yu-Gi-Oh and start with all of my good cards in my Graveyard. =(

The word fight is being is used loosely. A fight is when both sides are equal. :\

 

Yes you know more about making fake cards and ignoring basic common sense which in your mind makes you right apparently. Yes your a winner..

 

You are right though I won't fight you cause of a few factors.

1. Your just some internet guy so fighting with words are pointless.

2. Fights should only be settled with aggressive physical contact between two people. They end faster and it is the manly way to handle it. Something that isn't possible from over these computers.

3. Your arguing over a online hobby of making fake cards of a soon to die card game that's become ruined in the modern dueling fashion.

 

The reason I'm telling you this is so you may think about this and ponder why you were so quick to judge and get angry, and next time you may think before you talk down to some one you don't have any knowlage of for no reason. God bless.
