Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Target 1 Synchro Monster you control; return it to the Extra Deck, and if you do, destroy all face-up monsters your opponent controls with ATK less than or equal to the returned monster's original ATK. ----Well, it only kills the opponent's field now as opposed to everything on the field like anime version did (although now it's original ATK as opposed to whatever said monster had when being bounced). http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Synchro_Cracker_(anime) (reference if needed) Discuss.

Cosmo. Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Ehm... so this is a more restricted raigeki... I kinda like it, but the cost of returning a synchro to the extra for me is a bit much, at least it's at 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Name is still racist. No point in actually running the card though, Raigeki exists. (and to a lesser extent Lightning Vortex, which only requires a discard for the same effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah, I'd rather run Raigeki/Lightning Vortex if I wanted to field wipe stuff.Less gimmicky and not reliant on how powerful the monster I bounce; preferably the former because it's clean destruction. As for the name, yeah it's racist towards whites (and Synchros have the same color border).[i didn't know what the term meant when card originally showed in anime, so had to look it up at the time] Konami will probably change the name, so it doesn't contain that; probably to Synchro Breaker or something; idk.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 As for the name, after looking it up (and I seriously didn't know what that meant until a while ago), yeah it's racist towards whites (and Synchros have the same color border).Konami will probably change the name, so it doesn't contain that; probably to Synchro Breaker or something; idk.It very clearly is saying cracker as in saying it cracks the monsters. Name change isn't needed. If one happens, it will be more because "synchro cracker" just sounds dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 That part, I get and that's probably what the writers had intended [which makes sense].I don't think they knew about / intended to evoke racial connotations that word has in parts of the mainland USA. But that's enough on the term thing. ------Again, I would rather not bounce a Synchro back just to pop targets (unless it's the opponent's monster or something that I steal/bounce, but that's still gimmicky).

~Faytl~ Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Technically this card enables a single Black Rose Dragon with the ability to clear the board 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Crossroad Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 On the name: It will no doubt change, don't forget that you're talking about the people that censored "feather" (as in blackfeather) and "censor" stuff that no one would ever bother noticing - like Twinkle Moss' boobs(?). It is not terribad in terms of limitation, but it doesn't do as much as it could have otherwise.- Sending to the graveyard would have been gimmicky and avoid most destr.negation.- If the synchro monster was sent to the graveyard would have made it more desirable. (ex. Overmind Archfiend)- If it was a Quick-play spell, would have made people question more if it's worth playing/siding.. :D Again... that name though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing a name and censoring the name are not the same thing. Blackwing rolls off the tongue better and is a proper noun already in English, albeit in a bit of a niche community.

goodfusion Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 How is the name in any way offensive? Is there something I don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 How is the name in any way offensive? Is there something I don't know about?It's not offensive. It's just that cracker is a racial term directed at white people by, mostly, black people. As in whip cracker. Never mind that we have Firecrackers and, yknow, soda crackers and butter crackers.

~Faytl~ Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Would be way better if it destroyed your monster, since this makes you go through the effort of summoning it again. Plus it would synergize with stuff like Scrap Dragon. As it is now it generally isn't worth it when we have Dark Hole at 2 and Raigeki at 1. Though this does have the fact it obly pops opponent monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airride Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I think people are somewhat underestimating this card; It has similar utility to De-Synchro is letting you re-use a monster's On-Summon effect or something of the like. While obviously the secondary effect is worse comparatively, I think It'll have use in things like Karakuri to Wipe the field for an OTK, since you always have a ton of monsters anyway.

A pretty good idea, actually. How much damage does Karakuri get on the board on average, anyway? About 4 Synchs, or 3? By the same token, Speedroids to clear the way for Chanbarider OTKs.

Lunar Origins Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 This name isn't racist... And, in any case, this card (funny enough) is bad. Not good enough to warrant toolboxing at any more than a 1-of, and even in that case it's better than Raigeki unless you REALLY NEED THAT BOUNCE, which you'd only do if you're playing combo decks that for some reason need you to bounce back a big beater to wipe the field of face-up monsters...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 If this returned from grave to extra, it would be REALLY interesting. As-is it is a bad de-synchro glustick'd to a bad raigeki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thought that it was a Quick-Play. That would have been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nah, De-Synchro is better. Advancing your board > cutting your opponent's.Not having a burei is the difference between OTK/winning alot of the time aswell. Plus, if you don't have de synchro/iron call (the cards that advances your field the most) or are negated in some way, this card becomes a dead draw. It is a perfect example of a winmoar card in karakuri IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 This on trish. Moar banish plz and nuke their field. Other than that, i guess it could be kinda neat in Lovecraft.dek? Otherwise kinda meh as nothing really gets benefit from being returned to the extra deck or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Decided to look through the Synchros in ygopro, and I think counted only about 15 generic Synchros who have effects that activate when Synchro'd specifically. The best of that group are probably Trish, Black Rose, Red Wyvern, Metaphys Horus, and Vulcan the Divine. ...Out of that smaller group, only Vulcan favors this card over De-Synchro simply because it has a hard OPT for its effect (which hardly matters in the end because you'd be able to Synch into something else at that point). I will probably end up testing this card out eventually anyway, but I don't have high hopes for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 The only Synchro deck, which summons enough high stat synchros to actually make it live would be PSYFrame, but why would you bother using this in them if you have far better options (raigeki is only one).All in all we can say that this card would have been playable IF it would have been a quickplay spell card.
