CLG Klavier Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So while this can be chained too and realistically doesn't work on enemy's turn, it's pretty damn comparable to Super Poly IMO at least, in the sense it's removal that targets nothing, and to make it better, doesn't make you choose until the Tribute Summon itself, so you might change your mind.

Toffee. Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 This card is bonkers. Mostly because... Instead of skipping your Battle Phase like Soul Exchange does, this still lets you attack. Provided, you don't mind being unable to use your Extra Deck in the same turn, which plenty of decks can go without doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 This card is definitely better than Soul Exchange in most situations. While Soul Exchange lets you Tribute the monster for any application (Cost, effect, Tribute Summon, Ritual Summon, etc), it's restricted to Tribute Summons. But it doesn't target, which is amazing and makes it nearly impossible to dodge, but you can still attack. Monarchs themselves love this, because they do evil stuff when Tribute Summoned, that evil stuff usually involving removal. So take their monsters, kill their stuff, then kill them.

Spinny Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 this can be crazy for multiple decks that can tribute, so its being increasingly better as more cards are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabber2033 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 One of the rulings the judges announced at Regionals this past Sunday stated that Forbidden Lance cannot be used to keep your opponent from tributing your monster with this. Boy did that cause an uproar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravires Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 One of the rulings the judges announced at Regionals this past Sunday stated that Forbidden Lance cannot be used to keep your opponent from tributing your monster with this. Boy did that cause an uproar... Which Regional, and do you know that judge's name? Quite some time ago we received official word that Lance prevents a monster from being Tributed through Stormforth no matter when Lance activates or resolves. Any judge not following this ruling should be brought to Program attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I love this card, but I don't understand why it is quick-play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I love this card, but I don't understand why it is quick-play. Though, that disrupts the Frog Engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The funny part is that Stormforth was released first, and Escalation is a TCG exclusive. I knew Escalation would happen, though, just because Stormforth is a Quickplay. Also, cards like Ultimate Offering can make use of Stormforth.

I forget his name, though tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabber2033 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did you link him to the wiki ruling page? w/source? No, and I had no idea there even was an official ruling on it. I actually don't pay attention to ruling updates and such. I probably should. at least it was said then and not in the middle of a game Yeah. They usually have a ruling announcement or three before the start of the first round. I didn't face a monarch player, so didn't have to deal with it, thankfully.

Armoire Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I've been trying this out with the Hermit Yokai archetype lately, using tributes for Yamamisaki. Love how it gets around people sitting on stuff like Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus. Really neat removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 How... does Soul Release have ANYTHING similar to this? You know what he meant... Anyway, the card itself is fantastic, of course. But, out of curiosity, what possible reason was there for Konami to remove the space in "Storm Forth" when it came to TCG? I dun ged it.

Trebuchet MS Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Another thing this card has over Soul Exchange - Soul Exchange targets, this doesn't. Screw the Extra Deck for the turn, if it means I get a nigh-unstoppable means of taking out an opposing monster that's been giving me a headache, I will jump at the opportunity without blinking an eye, and Tribute Summon away. Even if it means being less efficient and Normal Summoning Cyber Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Isn't this card also key in the more recent Batteryman OTK Decks? The ones that use this on Charger or whatever? Yeah...it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
