Darj Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 1 Fiend-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Fiend-Type monsters Neither player can Synchro Summon. Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls that is equipped with an Equip Card; destroy all Equip Cards equipped to that monster, and if you do, inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each card destroyed. I have always liked this card: Its name and artwork are awesome in my opinion, back when Synchros were the only thing this just told "no" to them, and it has the highest ATK of all 2-material Level 7 Synchros (tied with Nitro Warrior). Unfortunately, its summoning requirements are painful, the Equip effect is situational, and with the arrival of Xyzs and the comeback of Fusions (Shaddolls and HEROes), the Synchro lock effect is not as powerful as before. So, let's say that this card suddenly gets an Errata and now prevents both players from Special Summoning anything from the Extra Deck (Synchros, Xyz, Fusions and Pendulums). Would it be worth dedicating a deck just for this card? How big would its impact be on the game? Anyways, discuss Dark Highlander and this hypothetical change.

evilfusion Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 DDs would rule the world. Nothing else would really be able to run the Summoning requirement without being dedicated to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Damn, Forgot DDs were a thing. Yeah, I agree; Night Howling and who knows what else would set this card up easily. EDIT: Although they would lock their own Extra Deck as well. I guess if that were to happen, decks with non-Extra Deck removal (e.g. Shaddolls with Squamata and Dragon, Batterymen, H.A.T.) would have an upper hand in the metagame, and decks without them (e.g. Tellarknights) would have to tech them to counter Highlander.

Bringerofcake Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 If my deck were all fiends, I'd still side this against Yang Zing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDs wouldn't really care, considering they would Synchro Summon this last and have 3 beaters on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't know much about DDs and I have yet to see them action so I have little idea of what they are capable of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Wow even unchanged, this feels like a fun anti-Yang Zing tech in DDs. With the proposed errata... At least shadolls can still kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darj Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 How do they kill this tho? Lizard or Dragon? Yes, Lizard, Dragon and perhaps teched Caius should be able to handle Errata'd Highlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
