Thanks for the extra Blue-Eyes White Dragon support

[.Rai]

Thanks for a 30 times more broken Icarus Attack.

[Horu]

its best use would be in a deck that revolves around Blue-Eyes White. Activate and discard White Stone of Legend for a free Blue-Eyes.

I just can't seem to get Chaos out of my head. I should just make it Tribute.

[Horu]

Still good support for the white dragon even if you do switch it to tribute

Because only BEWD decks run light monsters, amirite?

[Horu]

No. Because you can use it in a get a free dragon from deck combo

I am easily considered one of the worst players of YGO on this site, and even I find this retardedly broken.

[Horu]

Charlotte quite a few cards in the game are retardedly broken but yet they ban Pot of Greed and bring back Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the End. Point being, a card isn't broken as long as there are a gazillion ways to counter it. But not everyone on the planet runs a Stardust Dragon to counter BLS.

So BLS isn't broken because Solemn Warning / Thunder King Rai-Oh / etc. exist? A card that has a broken effect is still broken even if there are "gazillion" ways to counter it.

Obviously, but the fact here is that this cards main use will not only be in BEWD decks that run White Stone of Legend. You should have understood that from my posts, seriously.

What fun is tributing a monster if you get nothing from it. I'm saying Stone or another light monster that acts as a search engine when sent to the grave is your best choice to combo with this card.

This card was based on Icarus Attack, which works for Winged Beast monsters. They generally have no monsters that have effects that activate when sent to the Graveyard, and yet, they still run Icarus Attack, because it gains them field advantage. This card is a better Icarus Attack because it has a wider range of targets. Sure, you can combo this with Stone, but what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter in the META. Nobody runs Stone in the meta, how f***ing hard is that to understand?

Calm down before you have a heart attack or something. I got thinking about how to make the effect not as broken. But it requires adding a between 1 and 3 words.

1) Tribute 1 LIGHT monster. Destroy up to 2 monsters your opponent controls.
2) Tribute 1 LIGHT monster. Destroy up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards your opponent controls.

Either of these effects would solve a tiny bit of brokenness.

I took the monster idea, since there is enough Spell/Trap removal this format.

Fair enough and good point.
