Trebuchet MS Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Admittedly, making this card a monster that needs to be Tribute Summoned (and with subpar stats at that) makes it a lot less weaker than the original. However, you can only go so far before it crosses into Tongue Twister territory, where its activation condition becomes so narrow nobody would want to use it. Not sure whether a draw-2 on Tribute Summon is workable in the current game, even if held back by lackluster stats. There aren't a lot of cards like this to compare with.

shadowstorm913 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 It is a 5 star monster. It should have an higger ATK or DEF. Just saying. Still a Nice Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I agree. Maybe if it allowed you to draw more cards, or maybe creating it intoxicated spell card would make it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 It'd be cool it it work with pot of greed like 'avatar of the pot' does too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic55 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (Going off orginal play-syle) You need to tribute 1 monster to get Powerful Pot of Greed (PPOG) on the field in the first place, then you must tribute PPOG to draw 2 cards? You use 2 cards to draw 2 cards? Not exactly the best card. Here are a few options I can think of to make this card better: 1. Increase the ATK and DEF and allow the player to draw at least 3 cards. 2. Lower the card to a 4 star or lower. Edit: When writing the comment above, I had read the card wrong, therefore I thought the card read "you can tribute this card to draw 2 cards." After reading it again and realizing my mistake, here are my new suggestions: 1. Increase the ATK and DEF 2. Leave as is 3. Allow the player to tribute PPOG to draw 3, but they can not activate that effect the turn the PPOG was summoned. 4. Both #1 and #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cierfrost Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have a deck (NoMonsterMonarchs) where this card would be useful. With the use of Monarchs and viability on using tribute substitutes, it's not that big a deal and is definitely at least a one of if you don't have your search engine ready, or have enough of a field advantage that it might make sense to play this... Eh, not as bad as I'd say people are making it out to be at all. But you're still treading on thin ice here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Burning Abyss do Tribute Summons? Last time I checked, they're too busy spamming Dante and/or making Virgil and crap. But I don't play BAs, so what do I know? Anyway, the stats are bad for a Level 5, but suppose that's more/less to compensate for being a on-summon Pot of Greed. I mean, you could just use Stormforth on an opponent's monster to NS this thing, but that's about it in terms of actual playability. (Going off orginal play-syle) You need to tribute 1 monster to get Powerful Pot of Greed (PPOG) on the field in the first place, then you must tribute PPOG to draw 2 cards?

Increase the ATK and DEF and allow the player to draw at least 3 cards. 2. Lower the card to a 4 star or lower. What are you talking about? You need 1 Tribute to get out Powerful PoG, but the draw occurs on the summon. Where on the card does it say that you need to Tribute it for the draw? Nowhere.

I read it as "Tribute this card to draw 2 cards." On that note, the ATK and DEF still needs to be boosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think it's fair for what it is. Draw 2 at the cost of a monster and your normal summon. True, it has a weak body behind it that could probably be buffed a bit, but as it is, it doesn't seem too unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polocatfan Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Burning Abyss do Tribute Summons? Dont they get power from the graveyard? If not then i'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 BAs get effects when they go to the Graveyard, yes, but why would you even run this card with them. Also consider the fact that this card's presence will cause whatever BAs you have to blow up. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burning_Abyss (Either read this link or any of the BA decks in TCG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Perhaps making it a fusion. By tributing the spirit of the pot of greed and the pot of greed (I know tributing a spell card sounds crazy but still) and its ability should be changed to it allowing you to draw 2 extra cards each draw phase.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Technically, Spell Fusions have occurred with The Claw of Hermos during the Waking the Dragons/DOMA arc in Duel Monsters, but not in reality. If that happens in this case, thread gets shafted to Experimental. And definitely no on giving extra draw during the DP, given there are some Decks that would like nothing better to spam their hand resources and do whatever they please with it.
