GarlandChaos Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This thing recently got a reprint in High-Speed Riders. ...which makes sense actually, because I honestly didn't notice that this thing was a Tuner until recently. It sort of makes sense for it to be one, too, since on the off chance you can't perform a Synchro Summon with this thing because someone stopped one of your Special Summon combos, etc., and this is the only thing you control, you can continually stall by essentially bribing this guy with 800 Life Points per attack. So, folks, what do you think of this reprint? Was it worth it, or were their better options to choose from for the set? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 But yeah this card is pretty legendary and this+Stratos into Goyo or this+Malicious into Colossal Fighter is one of the most famous combos in the history of Yugioh. It's useless now, but it probably deserves to be in HSPR just for nostalgia value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 The reprint was unnecessary but amusing. About the card itself, the main asset is definitely being DARK attribute, as it is the only DARK Tuner summonable off Emergency Teleport. This makes it usable in decks focused around Underground Arachnid, Beelze, etc. The effect is decent, but there are more effective stall cards.

ihop Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Back then the effect was actually useful too. As long as you had under 1500 ATK there wasn't much destruction going around and it was pretty solid just to summon. Realistically though, the majority of benefits come from what it is and not from its effect - it's the perfect level for the best synchros in the game back then, is obviously a Psychic for E-Tele and was even DARK for Dark Armed. It really did have everything going for it (except 1000 ATK, but hey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Well that's pretty cool I guess. Similar to GarlandChaos, I was not aware of Tele-DAD at the time it was played. But this card still has a lot of nostalgia value for me as the first deck I tried to make was a Psychic-Type deck and this was one of the first Tuners I got, and still used until a week ago when I decided to play PSY-Frames.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Not useless. You can make the deck work with Instant fusion and Panzer esp with Dragon's Bind on the return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polocatfan Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Good Old Krebons. A good tuner with a good effect. Not really relevant anymore but he's not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Origins Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 If the meta didn't speed up so much, this card may be good. It literally does have everything going for it; the stall effect is amazing (or, rather, was at the time), and could hold you out because hard removal kind of came at a fairly large cost and they'd need to save it for your big things. I miss this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mido9 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'd use red resonator/striker over it in 99% of decks that want a level 2 tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
