[4000 Posts] Obelisk the Tormentor


Recommended Posts

Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. Cannot be targeted by Spells, Traps, or card effects. During the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the Graveyard. You can Tribute 2 monsters; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated.

 

The "Good" one. Honestly a rather nostalgic feel cause it used to be amazing in the Ruler mirror match, I tried to incorporate it into my Monarchs, but lol Ignister/Storm4th. There's just too much non-targeting removal in the game currently for any of the gods to be good.

 

I was always curious why they dropped the no target clause from Slifer and Ra, but I guess they made it up for Ra. Kard should had the Ciller Clause tbh

I agree with the above comment. There's a much bigger and cooler sense of accomplishment out of getting 3 monsters into the field and using them all for a Tribute Summon.

 

Obelisk was always worth it, so much fun.

Slifer feels dirty against some casual decks, and is not good enough against meta decks, so poor guy, but it is still great to see it sitting at 7k and attacking.

Ra... pff.... yeah, Ra...... well, he's there, and the support cleans up his honor but it is still 3 Level 10s and it really really really sucks that Sphere Ra can't just revive regular Ra, so it isn't even a real infinite sun transition cycle.

 

 

 

Give the game 5 more years and Mega Monarchs will probably be upgrading to triple tribute Giga/Tera Monarchs of some sort.....

 Not all 3 tribute monsters are satisfying. Just look at Steelswarm Hercules.

it's more the feel of tribute summoning one than the payoff itself . but i agree with you to an extent there, i it was an equal feel for all 2 sacrifice monsters, then people would actually run ra.

Oh god, I remember having a copy of this wayyyyy back. I lost it on some car journey, which sucks....

Anyway, this guy is pretty awesome. 4000 stats, and his second ability is pretty interesting as it helps out KOs. Not all 3 tribute monsters are satisfying. Just look at Steelswarm Hercules.

It's honestly pretty sad cause this card has been creeped to hell and back. Even in Prime Ruler format, the one time when it saw competitive play, things like Dark Hole and Spellbook of fate out'ed it too easily. I stand by what I said when saying this, not Killer or his ilk, should have gotten the unaffected clause

dunno, not my favorite, but still i think this card is better than the other gods, since at least it has targeting protection, so Obelisk.dek doesnt really need the god spell field (forgot the name) unless you really want a pop*ing protection, while in today's format, we have a lot of non-targeting eff (like moralltach).

 

looking at it now, we have BEWD-alternate, BLS-Super, and other retrained version of old cards, so maybe Konami will make a retrained version of god cards? with "unaffected" protection? or maybe more than just "unaffected"? like its supposed to be in the anime?

Looked it up, all of Egyptian gods were anti-target. Even if you look at the anime, things like Dark Sanctuary targeted I guess, so yeah, and Awakened Obelisk form would be nice.

 

Hell Egyptian God Slime has yet to be printed

all 3 egyptian gods having "true" forms would be amazing. i mean, ra got 3 (and it's still useless) so why can't slifer and obelisk get 1 more each. they are some of the most iconic cards in the game after all, and konami's been printing a ton of support for the older stuff, so this guy getting a rewrite would be pretty nice.

Obelisk has one in the manga, so there's a chance.

hoping the divine evolution card becomes an actual thing in the new pack. if i read the wiki correctly, it was what somehow allowed obelisk to enter progenitor form. (of course it'd need upgrades, but by now, i think the all the god cards deserve their own support cards.)
