Aximil Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 The title is just the 3 signature/boss cards for the 3 protaganists from Yu-Gi-Oh! Anyway, let's discuss this card. And the Crystal Beast archetype as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMEONE POSTED!!! On-topic: I run a CB deck as my main. They have so much control and their Crystal Abundance either means the match is over or it will be next turn since there's no recovering from a field nuke and then your opponent summoning a bunch of monsters.

.Gideon. Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I hate them. And I've destroyed them so many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.F.Yuji Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I got 'em all aside from the Dragon, don't seem to use them though, They aren't bad, but can really clog up your Spell/Trap card Zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namo™ Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 there's no recovering from a field nuke and then your opponent summoning a bunch of monsters. Your opponent doesnt summon monsters when you use Abundance 0.0 you summon CB monsters 0.0 Crystal Beasts, are pretty much good, they have a game style that doesnt **** you up except for your Spells and traps, which mainly CB users rarely use, sure you have a Negate attack here, and a Torrential Tribute there, but over all, they rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I used CB's combined with DNA Surgery in my Raviel/Uria/Hamon deck. They always helped me summonning 1 or more monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 A fun little archetype that for some reason can't seem to crack the top anything of any major tournament. They've got a lot of excellent support, now all they need is a good beatstick to plow their way to victory. (and for anyone who mentions Rainbow Dragon and Hamon, I said GOOD beatstick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaWave Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Crystal Beasts are fun to play, but not very competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 They lack a win condition that can be pulled out without running the shitty CBs.AKA, what Pika said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonisanoob Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 they need a rota, and a spell and trap destruction monster and monster removal monster ;/ ect ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalflygon08 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 There's Gravi-crush and Manga-slash draco that kinda fit the bill, but goes against what the deck want, CB's in the S/T zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolTama Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 They lack a win condition that can be pulled out without running the shitty CBs.AKA' date=' what Pika said[/quote'] The lack of a Boss monster I agree with, but Abundance still exists you know...

CrabHelmet Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 They lack a win condition that can be pulled out without running the shitty CBs.AKA' date=' what Pika said[/quote'] They have two such win conditions - Abundance swarm for game and Ruby swarm for game. They also have Hamon, who is terrible, but who at least doesn't require Cobalt Eagle and the like to be run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wait, where do they make the DT cards again? I know it's been a while, I just forgot. On topic:This card is a must in CB's. Without it they cannot hope to win. And CB's are pretty dead, but there are variations of them that exist, and they're sort of playable.

「tea.leaf」 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I don't get why people play it. I've ploughed every CB deck I've ever played against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 A lot of the variants don't even make sense. One that I remember seeing several times was Crystal Monarchs, which was based on using Crystal Promise and Crystal Beacon to generate Tribute Fodder for Raiza and pals. I still don't understand why on earth anyone would bother, since the two themes have no real synergy, and the Tributed monster doesn't go to the s/t zone. Incidentally, Crystal Beasts need more good support, and they will never get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The biggest problem with Crystals as far as I can see is that they, for the most part, are nothing but worthless Vanillas while on the field, and the only one who does have an effect that you can activate (Cobalt Eagle) has a horrendously disgusting effect.

If the opponent has mass or reusable spell/trap removal, the Crystal Beast player essentially autoloses. 2) The Field Spell's decent effects don't become available unless you're already doing really well. 3) Of their two win conditions, one doesn't clear the opponent's field (which is a major problem when none of your monsters hit for over 2000), and the other basically forces the Crystal Beast player to scoop if it is negated (since the four-gem cost is already paid). 4) Only destruction puts gems in the spell/trap zone. Synchro Summoning, Tribute Summoning, and even some Crystal Beast-exclusive support all just let the monster rot in the Graveyard. 5) Their +0 draw card contradicts their win condition by emptying their spell/trap zone. 6) It isn't just their monsters that are Vanillas; most of their support has extremely mild effects, mostly based around giving the user more gems, and very little of it directly harms the opponent.

Aximil Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 there's no recovering from a field nuke and then your opponent summoning a bunch of monsters. Your opponent doesnt summon monsters when you use Abundance 0.0 you summon CB monsters 0.0 I know that. I run quite a few different Crystal Beast decks. I've had 3 copies of each CB card since their very first pack. I was saying this "there's no recovering from a field nuke and then your opponent summoning a bunch of monsters." thinking of the opponent. As in there's no recovering for them. And as for the rest of your posts, most of what is said is true. But if you're good at running CB decks, your S/T zone will never be clogged. And, by the time it starts to get clogged, you'll either have AC-RR or you will have drawn Crystal Abundance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
