Thaoz Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hello everyone! This is Alchemy Cycle! I recently got this card in a booster and I thought it was a good shot. The thing is... how do I use it properly? I mean, losing points for cards isn't that a good thing, but I'm sure that there are card combinations that allow us to play that card without losing that much points. The only thing that occured me was Tornado Wall, but my brother won't let me borrow it... So, please post ways to use this card without risking to lose the Duel.Tks everyone!

Mysty Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Did it ever occur to you that this works with Battle Mania and face-up Defense Position monsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He served his purpose to block an ATK so it's destruction is not a -1. It's -1 if it requires a tribute or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff! Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 *facepalm* Card on field =0. card taken from field = -1.card put on field to replace card = 0. I fail to see what's so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't send Tomato to the field. He was send by your opponent. That's like saying harpie's Brother is a -1, because your opponent will destroy it.

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Tomato + Alchemy Cycle on your opponent's turn? Why not just use Tomato + Jar of Greed? Less situational, and it doesn't drop your attack to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 if th original atk of all your monsters is 0...DOes it still works? If So This + Scapeoag...is a +2 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypony Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 If So This + Scapeoag...is a +2 right? Tokens aren't sent to the graveyard so i don't think it counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowferret Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Alchemy Cycle says they gotta go to the graveyard to draw.And it also just counts monsters face-up when it's activated.A really good way to use it... that's kinda tough...the only things coming to mind are Rainbow Life, or maybe Amazoness Swordswoman?Not very practical, but these are the only things I can think of right now.

-Lightray Daedalus- Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 For some reason I can't even activate this thing when Scapegoat's token are my only monsters on the field...Ergo...Doesn't Work....(And by that stated before...)I don't like this card anymore....Even when it has sad Little Winguard in it.

shadowferret Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 'Tis because Scapegoats are tokens, and they can't be sent to the graveyard.Alchemy Cycle only works with monsters that are destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRONG SECTION!!!!!!!! you post discussions about cards in the TCG section' date=' only post actual STATEGIES in this section. Spirit BarrierAlso use it to suicide monsters that +1 when destroyed like mystic tomato Mystic Tomato is +0. -1 for his death and +1 for his effect. +0 Just to get this straight, Mystic Tomato basically is a +1, but when you suicide it yourself, it's a +0. However, Superyugi said 'monsters that +1 when destroyed like mystic tomato', and Mystic Tomato is a correct example of this. And Kira, remember that Mystic Tomato isn't 'generally' a +0, only in this case. On a side note, that combo totally sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Rainbow Life You lose a card in your hand' date=' Rainbow Life, your monster, and Alchemy Cycle. You have to have 4 monsters on the field JUST to break even. Amazoness Swordswoman Eh, only mildly more usable then Jar of Green + Amazoness Swordswoman. I'll give you that one. On that note, there is no commonly seen situation that I can think of where I wouldn't prefer Jar of Greed over Alchemy Cycle. That is to say, not that the situations don't exist, but rather that there are just so many more situations where Jar of Greed will be usable and Alchemy Cycle will not be, while both will typically only be able to net you one new card drawn. tl;dr: Jar of Greed >>>> Alchemy Cycle.And when the card you're running is worse then Jar of Greed...

302930 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 A possible strategy I could think of is to use Hallowed Life Barrier ("Discard 1 Card, you take no damage for 1 turn")Or play it during your opponet's turn if they have alot of monsters out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
