~British Soul~ Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Pendulum Effect You can reduce the battle damage you take from a battle involving a Pendulum Monster you control to 0. During your End Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, add 1 Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn. Monster Effect If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled. So yeah, this is one of the cover cards for the Arc V Star Pack coming this June, discuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yes. Finally. A reprint. Reprint is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 The best protagonist ace card by far (Utopia needed 8 evolutions to be worth anything, Stardust has been upstaged by his manga doppelganger), and a card that makes many Pendulum decks far more consistent by virtue of existing. Kind of unhealthy design in some ways, but many decks can't Pendulum Summon him (Igknights don't have the Scales, Qli block him etc) so i guess that balances it out... kinda sorta.

Slinky Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Reprint came way too late. Its not even expensive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 The fact it's searchable by Fusion Conscription without the downside of not being able to use all its effects makes it hilarious. That card could become easily broken if more Pendulums were to be listed by name as Fusion Materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 It won't be broken because the game's never going to be slow enough for it to be broken. It might be decent, but that's it. The design of pendulums so far dodges this thing as hard as it can to avoid abuse breaking their ace card. The only deck that can reliably summon it, as of now, is D/D/D, and Abyss Ragnarok builds don't even want to run this so much. They can, but not anything special. They try so hard to design around this card, they design the mechanic in even worse ways, and it's just not healthy all around. Not broken, it will likely never be, but it is just Konami being dumb.

Stardust may be upstaged now but at the time I am led to believe it was de shit. So originally, imo that was the best ace (since we're talking not long after its release). This is probably going to get upstaged anyway just like all the other "newer" bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireofDarkness Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Still waiting for DDDs in the TCG, screw Odd Eyes........ OT: As much as at first I saw this as Pendulum Sangan, I think it's more just interesting now. It had its uses, but I rarely ever see it legit Pendulum Summoned. Perhaps this is how Pot of Riches came about. It certainly makes this card quite good at times. That being said, I still think Stardust will always have the most points when it comes to practicality and usage. Utopia was always destined to be outclassed, Odd Eyes will never be actually summoned, Stardust still has applications today, albeit not always being the most opportunal. But if their goal was to make something that would be a decent card to run in a Pendulum Deck, they did a damn good job at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Stardust was definitely the best protagonist ace upon release. It's now outshined, but it took AGES for that to happen. Utopia was never really "good", we just didn't have many Rank 4s originally (and it got NERFED compared to the anime version, Numbers clause notwithstanding). Odd-Eyes Pendulum is a neat card, but it got buffed from the anime version majorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd-Eyes Pendulum is a neat card, but it got buffed from the anime version majorly. Yeah, I guess I should have clarified "at this point in time", but then I suppose that's not really a fair comparison. If we take each card solely in the context of its era, Stardust does win. However, Odd-Eyes actually supports its mechanic, something no ace card previously did. Dark Magician was from an era before ace evolutions took off, and mostly got Spell/Trap support. Neos was always meant as a Fusion catalyst, so he got all the evolutions he could swallow and it never felt stupid because it was always the point. Stardust, as you've said before, got a handful of really awesome evolutions (if a little impractical for some). Utopia... we all know. Odd-Eyes is neat because as Yuya learns the various alternate summoning methods, he can evolve in different ways, and there seem to be two major branches forming. In that sense, it kinda reminds me of Digimon Adventure 02 due to the alternate forms of evolution. Rune-Eyes and Odd-Eyes are Fusions that connect Odd-Eyes with parts of Yuya's own deck, which could make them either regular Evolutions or Armor Evolutions depending on how you see it. However, when it combined with one of its dimensional counterparts, it creates an Extra Deck/Pendulum hybrid that even physically resembles both components, similar to a Jogress Evolution. Thank god Yuya is more tolerable than Daisuke though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 It was Leviathan Dragon and Utopia. A few packs later, Acid Golem. then Totem bird And now Diamond King Crab That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 3, at least. 39, 30, annddd... Ophion? I mean if you want to get technical, all Xyzs have a drawback once they run out materials. Except for those who don't have detach effects, like Number 9, Number 8, Infinity, and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not being able to use detach effects because of lack of Xyz materials isn't really a disadvantage, it's more like they don't get any advantage.

Also not being able to use detach effects because of lack of Xyz materials isn't really a disadvantage, it's more like they don't get any advantage. That would be covered under "30". But Acid Golem really shouldn't count. That wasn't an arbitrary downside added to it to keep Xyz balanced in their early stages. That was Acid Golem's whole point.

Anyway I see your point about Acid Golem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
