Judαs Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 What if we got this instead of Tourguide in the first place? EARTH/***/PlantWhen this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Tomato in Tomato" from your hand or Deck.Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I swear to god, the artist is very good at drawing tomatoes for some reason. Should target "mato" monste*shot* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judαs Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 ^Exactly what I was thinking, but they had to make it "Tomato". Damn.I find this more balanced than TGU in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 It's more balanced because its targets are restricted only to copies of itself, giving it none of Tour Guide's flexibility, and only really the instant Rank 3 status. It's also not DARK, so no Chaos setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Pros vs TGU: *Can be used as synchro material *Makes naturia synchros *Makes soul of silver mountain *Spore target *Mark of the Rose Target, etc. *Searchable by Violet Witch Cons vs TGU: *Can only search itself (no sangan, brow, or Kushano shenanigans) *Not a chaos target *Third copy is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 It looks absolutely adorable <3 And it's pretty decent too, not to mention it's a Plant which is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zauls Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I would like Plants to be revived a bit so I like this card. It is a bit too splashable as it is though, and the fact that it supports the most annoying and broken Synchros in the game is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 OP, card couldn't be released Pre-TGU. In fact, the card wouldn't exist without TGU existing. Tomato Guy's duel mocked existing broken TCG exclusives and Plants on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newhat Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 It has slightly better stats than TGU. I think this is a play on words for the trope describing the discovery that you are actually a monster. If you catch my drift. If you get my goat.

Suibon Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 The responses to this thus far are surprising me. Probably because it's an anime card and thus unlikely to see print, but this is still an instant Rank 3 Exceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 To be honest Suibon is right, nowadays Tourguide tends to be ran simply just as 2 Tourguide which this does too. It's not DARK but it is a Plant which has other advantages. But I have to say Tourguide isn't that bad either nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are worse things in the metagame right now -- they make instant Rank 3s and instant Rank 4s (why hello Rabbit!) look almost cherubic. Yep.

ihop Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Rabbit is something different as it allows you to go for Laggia/Dolkka/Tiger King/Ophion. Zenmaines, Leviathan and Temtempo are hardly gamebreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and Tour Guide do provide you options at the drop of a hat without costing you anything in tempo or resources, which is unseemly in my eyes.

newhat Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Leviair is gamebreaking. But a Deck focused on cheap Rank 3 Xyzes would also need room for stuff to abuse with Leviair. Hint: Friller Rabca was intended to replace something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 That's pretty unambiguous, I think. Though there may be something to what you said -- I read too much into implications. Only implication is that Tour Guide is more powerful because it can search other Level 3 Fiends, notably Sangan. With Sangan banned, Tour Guide can still search things like Broww or Kushano. If it only searches another Tour Guide, it's still a DARK for Chaos. This card has none of those things which presumably is more balanced, but blatantly made as a Rank 3 producer.
