Fusion Substitute


Recommended Posts

No, not the monster classification. This:

 

FusionSubstitute-NECH-EN-C-1E.png

 

Lore: (This card's name is always treated as "Polymerization".)

Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Materials. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Fusion Monster in your Graveyard; return it to the Extra Deck, then draw 1 card.

 

Am I the only one here that prefers Fusion Gate, hell, even OG Polymerization to this thing? 'Cause, y'know, those two let you use monsters in your hand instead of limiting you to your field.

 

Discuss.

You're not the only one. I think this card is mediocre in most Fusion-centric Decks, specifically because you can only use monsters you control.

 

For example, Fluffals don't want this, because they WANT to be able to fuse from the hand.

 

The second effect is...nice, but you're also getting rid of a Polymerization, so Fusion spam Decks like...Fluffals and probably HEROs, wouldn't want to do that, either.

Normal Monster Pendulum Decks can indeed use this card and especially igknights can use it to get a quick First of Dragons to stall a bit, while also giving a reason to use non-destruction removal (except bottomless of course) ... it is not bad at all, but is in no way a card for an all too amazing deck so it (at least right now) is not all that powerful.

i run 1 of this on lunalight, possibly discard sheep, revive with white rabbit or tiger, ns fuse, cat dancer . . . . then fuse panther shuffle cat dancer with this card +1

 

so far is good, i mean the card drawn by substitute is always something i really need atm (like wolf and stuff) probably luck, but still worth.

Igknights can use this card pretty well for First of the Dragons as you'd typically rather fuse from the field than hand so your monsters go to the Extra Deck, and it's searchable by Blazeman which in turn is searchable by the Igknights. First of the Dragons is a nice card that some decks have quite a hard time getting past so I think its ok.

Question: why not just run Polymerization?

 

It may be bad to fuse from the hand, but it's not like you can't recover them, and flexibility is better than the potential extra power this thing's second effect offers.

It's mostly because Igknights vomit their hand (within reason) onto the board anyhow, so the extra flexibility to fuse from hand is pretty marginal.

Not really.

 

Your scales can be realistically answered by a fair number of decks, so versatility is better than reusability for a 1-2 of that shouldn't be hitting the grave, anyways.

 

FotD isn't going to be removed outside of, say, Master/Vector + Partnaga, Raigeki, or Storm Forth, meaning the recyclability is really niche. It's not going to be realistically good agaisnt any deck, so better to run something with marginally more use than marginally more value.

Gem-Knight Pearl + Partnaga

 

Valid points. I was thinking more along the lines of first-turn plays, so I didn't take into consideration interaction by the opponent, and the point about FotD never really hitting the Graveyard pretty much sealed the deal. 

 

...As I type this, I begin to realize how dumb running Fusion Substitute is..... O_O
