T3RA PROWL3R Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The title of the thread says it all. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Earthbound_Immortals First off, we'll start by naming your favorite, then hope something gets started. [spoiler=[b]Info[/b]]The Earthbound Immortals, known as Earthbound Gods in the Japanese version, are an archetype that, unusually, consists almost entirely of trump-card monsters. All of them have the common effect of being able to attack the opponent directly and prevent themselves from being attacked. When combined with their high original ATK this allows them to brutally pound their opponent. This power comes with two drawbacks, however: The player can only control one "Earthbound Immortal" at any time and it will automatically destroy itself if there is not a Field Spell Card on the field. The Earthbound Immortals also have a small but very potent series of support cards that further allow them to oppress the opponent. Their artworks all feature one of them emerging from a hole with blue flames coming out of it. The Earthbound Immortals are evil incarnate entities, that were sealed in the Nazca Lines, by the Dragon Star and its servants. [spoiler=[b]Decks[/b]]Aside from this, however, it seems that an Earthbound Immortal can find its way into any powerful deck by just adding a Field Spell to it, or by placing it in a deck where there is already prominent use of a Field Spell. Decks such as: -Crystal Beast Decks (for the use of Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins). -Lightsworns Decks (for the use of Realm of Light). -Morphtronic Decks (for the use of Morphtronic Map). -Spell Counter Decks (for the use of Magical Citadel of Endymion). -Gladiator Beast Decks (for the use of Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts and Ancient Forest). -Archfiend Decks (for the use of Pandemonium). -Frog Decks (for the use and constant recycling of Wetlands, and the constant swarming, making its summoning easier). -Elemental Hero Decks/Destiny Hero Decks (for the general abundant use of Field Spells). -Gravekeeper's Deck (for the use of Necrovalley). -Zombie Decks (for the use of Zombie World; Special Summon from Graveyard by using Mezuki and Book of Life, because Zombie World forbids Tribute Summon except for Zombie). -Ancient Gear Decks (for the use of Geartown; even if your opponent destroys the field card, you can summon Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon from your hand, deck, or graveyard). -Fortune Lady Decks (for the use of Future Visions, primarily with Aslla piscu for wiping your opponents field the instant it's played). -Plant Decks (for the use of Black Garden,primarily with Wiraqocha Rasca for a HUGE attack compared to what's going to be on the field). -Water Deck For the use of A Legendary Ocean.

YamiMario Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 They are pretty cool, and usable in a lot of decks that relies on Field Spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I don't know what you're trying to pull, but EBIs truly need a build focused on them to work well in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Griffin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 EBIs are pretty awful. They can be fun in some builds, and a few have OTKs, but they are still quite rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you payed attention to that conversation, I was referring to the fact that any deck can use Heavy Storm, the deck doesn't have to focus on it.

werewolfjedi Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 the only deck these guys can be "splashed" into is a citadel swarm deck. any other deck must work to play these and keep them on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, you should still run something else. Only 3/7 of them are really worthwhile while the other three are simply just trash. Shamu is debatable.

T3RA PROWL3R Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 You could use Field Barrier, or focus the deck around protecting your Field Spells. If you can keep them on the field, they are pretty damn useful. Especially Uru, since it has 3000 Atk and can attack directly.I'm pretty sure that the 8-year olds are still on the E-Hero ride. I'm pretty sure that the 8-year olds wouldn't understand Earthbound Immortals, letalone how they function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're mostly horrible, and some have outrageously BAD effects *glares at Cusillu* but that doesn't mean I can't like them. I actually have a playset of Shamu, and am currently trying to figure out a burn strategy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Chacu Challhua is my favorite of the earthbound immortals, mostly because it is a killer whale/fish/something to do with water. Overall it has a good burn and stall effect, and can be used effectively in its own deck, however, unless played properly, a deck revolved around it would be owned (only for casual play, would get owned either way in the meta game).
