Exiled Force is usually better, because you can use him to destroy any monster, no matter if they are face-up or face-down, or what their defense is. You can also use Exiled Force when your winning, but Mormolith destroys your own monsters. Mormolith is best used when your opponent has the upper hand. In that case, it is a bad idea to tribute a monster other than Mormolith, because he will be destroyed too.

 

Even though Exiled force is better, I have to say that Mormolith can be usefull, especially against Swarm, but Lightning Vortex is much better for that situation. It requires a discard, but it is gamblish and destoys ALL your opponent's face-ups, and NONE of you own. Mormolith requires you to destroy 1 of your own high ATK monsters to really have an effect, destroying itself in the process, so that's at least 2 cards, just like Lightning Vortex.

 

Exiled Force = 1 for 1

Mormolith = 1-5 of your face-up monsters for 1-5 of your opponent's face-up monsters

Lightning Vortex = 2 for all opponent's face-up monsters

Mormolith: I found a good combo with this card but you need at least 6 Rock type monsters removed from play first. Summon Megarock Dragon which will have an ATK/DEF of 4200 which is pretty high. Then, try to get Mormolith on the field and tribute Magarock to destroy any monsters with 4200 ATK or less. Then, attack directly with Mormolith! It's pretty devastating. Here's a list of cards that can be easily destroyed by this effect.

 

Cyber Dragon

Cyber Twin Dragon

Cyber End Dragon

Jinzo

Monarchs

Demise

Basically all LV monsters

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

All Sacred Beasts

 

and so on...

 

Exiled Force: Good if your opponent has only 1 monster that has a lot of ATK. It can be very good but it will only destroy 1 monster so you're more limited than Mormolith. The monsters listed above can also be destroyed by Exiled's effect.

 

 

My choice and vote: Mormolith

Exiled hits face-downs too. Down to his pure splashability, availability and playability I'd say Exiled is better. Mormolith is restricted to Attribute, stats, and can only hit face-up monsters. Mormolith would kill a field of Monarchs, but I can't see it really being all that practical.

LOL, you got it wrong...

 

First of all why in the world would you summon a monster as strong as Megarock Dragon to tribute for Mormolith in the first place? Wouldn't you rather just use Exiled Force to destroy your opponent's monster and attack directly with a 4200 ATK Megarock Dragon instead of attacking with a puny 1000 ATK Mormolith?

 

Second of all, you forgot Mormolith's effect! It says destroy ALL monsters on the field (not just your opponent's) with less DEF than the ATK of the tributed monster! So after you tribute Megarock Dragon, all your monsters (except ones that have more than 4200 DEF, which I doubt there is) too! So there is no Mormolith to atack directly with!

 

That might as well be the dumbest thing I've heard this hour (the last thing was that Mobius was a Staple)! You think that removing 6 rock monsters from play, destroying your own 4200 ATK Megarock Dragon, and your Momolith along with any other face-up monsters you own is a good way to destroy monsters? Why not discard 1 card for Lightning Vortex and then attack with Megarock Dragon?

 

Now one thing you got right is that Mormolith works well in a Megarock Dragon deck, but not to tribute the Dragon itself! That's like using your peices of Exodia for Snipe Hunter! What you're supposed to do is use Mormolith to get monsters in your graveyard.

exiled is a LOT better than mormolith...

 

the advantage of mormolith is to destroy many monsters with it's effect, incluiding him, exiled only destroys 1 monster...

 

BUT!! exiled destroys monsters face down, it doesn't play as a russian roulette... AND there's a little detail... exiled force's effect is not limited by skill drain...

 

 

so, my vote is to the force...

Well, now I see that everybody routes against me but I gotta admit that you all post great examples of what Exiled can do and what Mormolith cannot. I just thought if you were against a Sacred Beast deck than all of them could be destroyed. Raviel especially. But Exiled is good if there is 1 monster really bugging you that CAN be targeted my monster effects and that would be easily destroyable by Exiled's effect.

well, with mormolith, you need 2 monsters, one of them with a high attack, and the monsters must be face-up to be destroyed. but it can kill more monsters.

 

with exiled, you need only exiled, you can target face downs, and any monster. only drawback is its only 1 monster.

AND there's a little detail... exiled force's effect is not limited by skill drain...

 

 

yah -.-

 

How?

 

quite simple, my young padawan... skill drain negate the effecto of the monsters, NOT the activation of the effect, for example: when skill drain is active, and you play bazoo the soul eater, you can remove up to 3 monsters, but bazoo won't earn any ATK... another example is: if zombie master is on the field, and skill drain is active, you can discard a monster (activation of the effect) but you cannot bring a monster to the field (resolution of the effect)...

 

what happen with exiled force? when he activates it's effect it must be tributed to pay the cost of activation, so when the cost is paid exiled force is on the grave, and there it's NOT affected by skill drain, so it's effect can be resolved...

So' date=' my Medusa Worm can still pwn everybody with Skill Drain on the field? :D

[/quote']

 

no, unless the effect is activated from the grave... but medusa worm activates it's effect by flipping... so still is on the field and still is affected by skill drain... (BTW flipping face down is a part of the effect, not a cost)
