Guest PikaPerson01 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm sick of arguing about these newfangled cards! Let's discuss a classic favourite! http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tribe-Infecting_Virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's an all-purpose type killer (excluding S/T). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Was dominating at one point of the meta But now, since most archetypes run different types of cards, this card i believe could come off the banlist and not become a threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Can still be lethal to themed decks(you don't see very many good themed decks out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 At its weakest, it's an infinite piece of 1-for-1 face-up monster removal with all the advantages of choosing what to kill and none of the disadvantages of being vulnerable to effects that resist targeting. At its strongest, it turns every card in your hand into a Lightning Vortex that lacks the discard cost. This card is basically the ultimate Type Killer, since it punishes not just a specific theme deck but all themed decks - and still has utility even when facing non-themed decks.

Lazer Yoshi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ultimate Type Killer. But I don't see why it needs to be so Restricted it's banned.Is this usuable in a Dark World Deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ultimate Type Killer. But I don't see why it needs to be so Restricted it's banned. You copied a phrase out of my post and don't understand its implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ultimate Type Killer. But I don't see why it needs to be so Restricted it's banned.Is this usuable in a Dark World Deck? Not for summoning Dark World monsters. However, it can be used in almost any Deck. That answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarlet Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It seems to get less and less broken, it might be back in a few metas now that everything in any decent deck is a different type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Darn, I have to learn my TCG.But Crab, I was just stating my opinion. My Opinion turned out to be yours, somehow.Anyways, JD pretty closely answered my Question, unlike some who seem to enjoy picking at others. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 As Crab said the ultimate Type Killer. The fact that he can swing for almost 1/4 life points after you use his effect makes him that much more broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 i'm divided... at one side, this card is a great type killer that can cripple several decks and for that reason deserves to stay banned... at the other side, this card is less broken than snipe hunter, and can be placed at 1 IF snipe is banned...

SephirothKirby Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 What? This is better than Snipe Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and BLS is less broken than CED, but I still wouldn't want to see BLS come back at 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I vaguely recall using this with DNA Transplant. I can't remember why though. It's too dangerous and detrimental to bring back. The fact that it belongs to one of the most underdeveloped Types pretty much takes away it's only drawback. Turning EVERY SINGLE CARD in your hand into a Fissure or Smashing Ground is just way too broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curium Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Was dominating at one point of the meta But now' date=' since most archetypes run different types of cards, this card i believe could come off the banlist and not become a threat[/quote'] And that's good because now, Tele-DAD can dominate more, as Tele-DAD will have a easier time killing off zombie swarms with a single discard, so that hope for zombies to overcome Tele-DAD in the meta drops. Allowing Tele-DAD to further dominate the meta. [/sarcasm] I thought themed-decks have always been preferred over random decks with every overpowered card unbanned in it, to dominate the meta.I don't see why are we unbanning this to strengthen Tele-DAD.

Phantom Roxas Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It shouldn't be at more than 1. It's pretty good, but it wouldn't do a thing to Tele-DAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiro Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It seems to get less and less broken' date='[/quote'] Did it's effect change? it might be back in a few metas now that everything in any decent deck is a different type. I really hope that you are implying that Konami might be so dumb to do this, which is perfectly possible, and not that it'd be 'ok', for some reason, if it returned after a few while.

That Fat Guy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 But Crab, I was just stating my opinion. My Opinion turned out to be yours, somehow. That seems to happen a lot on this site.... As for the card, way too broken to come back, imo. Maybe if it wasn't 1600 it wouldn't be so bad, but as it stands, I say it should stay forbidden.

CrabHelmet Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It seems to get less and less broken' date='[/quote'] The operative word here is "seems", and the operative phrase is "seems to you", and the operative implication is "seems to you because you're thick". it might be back in a few metas now that everything in any decent deck is a different type. First of all, when did Zombies and Plants drop off the face of the earth? Second of all, why on earth should we consolidate the power of non-themed decks by giving everyone a Raigeki-with-legs with which to walk all over anyone who uses any semblance of a Type-theme while still having amazing utility against pretty much any deck that runs monsters?

BulletMan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The pic reminds me of Halo because it looks like the arborators (I believe) are being affected by the flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Okay, now I've thought about it.Banzored. Anyone who wishes to state a Point, go ahead. Seriously, I really think I need to learn some stuff about TCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
