Blake Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A precursor to 101 by a whole season, and even more to Castel/DRXD. I remember when this card was actually a selling point to decks, if only a small one, and made OTKs with Machu Mech if you teched it in Constellars. Unlikely as hell, but adorable. Now it's just outdated and outclasses in general. DRXD does what this does with nearly complete superiority, Castel removes threats/blockers better, and 101 does the general schtick better. And the draw on death is just not as likely to occur anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 It's unfortunate really. Even with destruction being prevalent again, Xyz literally just got more powerful. Even the ATK stat it had got outclassed. Tsukuyomi also gives better value for 2 LIGHT, making it weaker there. An example of powercreep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarlandChaos Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I will admit that I, personally, am a fan of this card, but I do agree that it's pretty outclassed at this point. Sure, you can render a big monster essentially null and void by detaching 2, but it starts with 2 materials, more often than not. And the drawing power doesn't really mean much with cards like Compuls and Castel, which don't destroy. As BoC said, an example of a card that was sadly powercreeped.

Darj Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A relic of past formats, I would say. But still, the draw effect gives it an edge and, who knows, it may make a comeback someday, by filling a niche, becoming an out to a reaaally specific threat (e.g. a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle and is unaffected by the effects of non-LIGHT monsters), or something among those lines.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 If it were generic, it'd be quite good still. Now 101 being creeped on the other hand is sad sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
