Hexanort Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 effect is seriously insane.....multi layered protection along with mass banish and double damage? but yeah since both this and the original fisherman arent easy to search its not easily viable good target for phantom of chaos/A Wild Monster Appears though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhammerchaosgod Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I concur with the last post. The effect of this card is fricking bonkers. Legendary Ocean Fisherman can still be useful to some extent if properly supported. Keep him alive and then you have a card that is damn near immune, has a banishing raigeki and a double damage effect. Sure the summoning is a little hard and it can't be easily searched, but people will find ways to make this card work. We'll just have to wait and see. One thing though, effects like these are terrible for the health of the game imo. It's got better effects than almost all three god cards combined. How is this kind of design justified? It's just going to be a game of luck with this card, but when it hits, it will hit like a truck and probably leave you dead. Besides, running this in mermails, whom can spam like crazy for that OTK, shouldn't be that hard either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Cards that requires other incredibly shitty cards are for the game? I mean, this talk won't ever end anyways. On paper, sure. In practice, this card will do shit, no matter how broken it is. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 On paper, sure. In practice, this card will do s***, no matter how broken it is. Ok, so "If this card is summoned: Win the duel." is ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLG Klavier Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ok, so "If this card is summoned: Win the duel." is ok? Way to make an argument look idiotic. Win the duel is a line that should never appear, but yes, if the card is ridden with so many restrictions that summoning it will happen once in 1000 games, then it can exist since you know, no one will ever play it anyways. EDIT: To prove my point, Legendary Knight Timaeus, or http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Zushin_the_Sleeping_Giant. Both are incredibly, game-winningly powerful since they're unaffected by anything and always win battles. But they're [i]fucking unsummonable[/i].

goodfusion Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I get your point with stuff like Zushin the Sleeping Giant but is this card really that difficult to summon? You could easily summon 2 The Legendary Fisherman with say Feast of the Wild LV5 and then tributing them to summon 2 of these. Sure, it might not be consistent and it might not be meta-level (I don't think anyone was saying it would be) but it would still be very powerful and honestly this isn't in any way "unsommonable".

CLG Klavier Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 So, you need to assemble both Legendary Fisherman, a way to summon it, so ALO or Feast of the Wild LV5, and this. You need to assemble 3 pieces, out of which 2 are unsearchable. IMO it's a fair payoff for you to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLG Klavier Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 You all are laughing now, but soon, you'll see. You'll ALL see. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Never doubt. As I said, the issue is getting The Legendary Fisherman into your hand. Unless I'm missing a way to search it. A Legendary Ocean is searchable, so there's that.

The Warden Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Actually, ClownBlade is proficient at summoning the Legendary Knights, and are perfectly capable of making Knight of Destiny - Timaeus. It's not as efficient as using normal ClownBlade, but it can still function. Zushin is of course pretty much unsummonable, no matter how dedicated you are to that goal. This card is amazing, and Mako would be shedding manly tears if he could see this beauty today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuelSpectre Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 They should just make Fisherman an archetype to make the monster more usable; right now it's just a niche card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 This doesn't seem like a card that people are going to be expected to actually USE, or buff meta Decks. But it's HILARIOUS. And that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 So lets see.... One one hand, this thing can't be destroyed by battle/effects and is immune to spell/trap stuff. So only monster effects that Banish/return/etc can honestly hit it. K.Playing it, it's a fuckin' Raigeki that Banishes.

Sleepy Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The most consistent way I can think of to make it live is to play a Rank 4 deck with Lavalval Chains and Call of the Haunted copies maxed out for the regular Fisherman, preventing its being drawn as much as possible but keeping it available for when/if you draw the Fisherman III. Of course the move would be more "cool" than it'd actually be optimal. I don't doubt the investment could win a duel here and there, but it wouldn't be meta-changing. It'd also be nice to make either into a Fusion Material. That'd help a ton in their searchability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviljester719 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 ok so i get you can send him back to the hand with a monster effect or banish him, but can you negate the attack let say with a magic cylinder? just very curious to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 ok so i get you can send him back to the hand with a monster effect or banish him, but can you negate the attack let say with a magic cylinder? just very curious to know He's unaffected by Spell/Trap effects, so no, you cannot stop him with Magic Cylinder. But that being said, you should've asked this in the rulings thread instead of necrobumping a 2-year old thread.
