heraldry_lord Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Number 106: Giant Hand [Rank 4/EARTH/Rock/Xyz/Effect/ATK 2000/DEF 2000] 2 Level 4 monsters During either player's turn, when a monster effect is activated on your opponent's side of the field: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 face-up Effect Monster your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, that target's effects are negated, and it cannot change its battle position. If you wanted him, you could try winning a YCS to get him. This is an issue, not because he's an awesomesauce Rank 4, but because he's a Number, so Numbers collectors in the TCG will have a hard time getting him as it stands. That's a great-looking mat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 So umm, what about its Rank-Up version? I understand that it requires any Number, but still :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 That's a bummer for IRL players I guess. It's actually a pretty cool Rank 4, especially for stun decks. They should have probably chosen its CN version as a prize and release this in a booster pack or as a promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 It's probably just an early released card for the TCG, and will be (re)-printed in the (near) future. Otherwise, it's a stupid idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Dat mat <3Obviously it will get reprinted, eventually. Konami is banking on Number collectors they wouldn't exclude one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Well that was unexpected... and a kick in the teeth for Number Hunters and if they can't win a YCS they'll most likely have to wait till like 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on waiting for the reprint as I'm not desperate to get him. (Plus the only YCS I'll enter during this cards' cycle will be the one in London) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ouch, it's a genuinely good prize card, we haven't had one of those since... Gold Sarc iirc Hopefully they reprint it quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 The mat is cool, but Giant Hand being the prize card is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeezus Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 This is a good idea, or a step in the right direction. IMO the prize cards should be very very good cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementuo Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 This is a good idea, or a step in the right direction. IMO the prize cards should be very very good cards. I can see the logic behind this, but I don't think anyone wants to have prize cards as borked as Crush Card Virus or Cyberstein anymore. Which thankfully Konami hasn't done.

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Seems like an okay R4. There are better. But this has it's uses. I wish it had higher ATK/DEF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 This is a good idea, or a step in the right direction. IMO the prize cards should be very very good cards. I agree that prize cards should be good. However... It's a Number. This means even people who just want it for Number collections, and don't play competitively, will either have to shell out way too much money online, or wait an unknown amount of time for the reprint. It also makes it uncertain when C106 will be released. While C106 is one of the only Rank-Up Number Cs that don't require its previous form for its effect, releasing them together would have been an expected move. Releasing 106 exclusively as a prize card until unknown dates is a strange thing to do. Numbers by their very nature are valued as collection materials, no matter how good or bad the actual card is. I just see it as a strange move to release it as a prize card. If they print it again to the general public within a reasonable amount of time, releasing it as a prize card just seems weird now. Thankfully, while I am collecting the Numbers, I don't consider the Over-hundreds vital to the collection (although I still get them since they're cheap), so I can patiently wait for 106's reprint.

If they print it again to the general public within a reasonable amount of time, releasing it as a prize card just seems weird now. I agree it is a strange move, although the 2011/2012 YCS prize card (Blood Mefist) still hasn't been released to the general public yet, whereas the Darklords were released to the public 3 months after the last YCS that they were in the cycle. So based on that info when this card gets a reprint will definately be up in the air, although I'd rather it be sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Number hunting is now officially serious business. And I expected some masturbation jokes. The card is cool, and prizeworthy, without offering a big advantage to those lucky ones having it. Imagine C106 being next year's YCS prize. Oh, the butthurt.
