The ghost of a gourmet cow. Particularly, it’s very fond of roast beef, and wanders the world even today, in search of a new taste that will make its heart jump.

 

A "generic" 10 scale I guess, 1/6th of the times. It's searchable by Summoner's Art is what concerns me, as is the fact that 50% it can summon everything you want to summon in pepe and 100% of the time most of the stuff you want to. Outclassed by Unicorn, yeh, but it's just really unhealthy design IMO

[Catman25]

Lol Mild Turkey is a thing too, that sheet's hilarious

[Blake]

oh no a card with a 50% chance of being scale 8+

 

This is the better of the two, for sure, as it'll open up the ability to summon 4s every turn, but... it's too inconsistent past that.

 

The turkey is more interesting, just because it feels like something out of Undertale.

Turk the bowing turkey confirmed for Undertale DLC.

 

OT: ....So its a cannibal ghost cow?

I mean 

 

1) Is that not a problem?

2) Remember when Qli's had those scale restrictions so that there was 0% chance of it being generic? Power creep much?

 

I'm not so much concerned about the card itself, just the luck sided sack nature the game makers think it's OK to go towards

[Blake]

"it'll open up the ability to summon 4s every turn"

 

Is that not a problem?

How on earth is that a problem?

 

It's a 2K Lv. 7. Opening up fours for a monster that's fairly asynergetic, and overall worse than Dragonpit, isn't that big a deal when you can just run other pendulums (preferable Lv. 4s) that allow summoning of fours.

 

You're overhyping again.

[The Warden]

It's not that great, but That Six pretty much makes it a 50% chance that it'll be scale 10, or scale 5. Of course, that requires you to rely on That Six.

[ENMaker]

Right up there with Snipe Hunter and Number 7. Dice roll op.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

You guys are missing the bigger picture, Konami has stopped giving a funk. A 10 scale should NEVER be generic let alone searchable. Not 1/6 times, NEVER. For most purposes 9&10 open up the same set of problems, so it's more of a 1/3 chance of unfair sacking.

 

The fact that it's luck based make the chance of you getting side funked by it due to luck a more annoying. It's not a good direction for the game to do in

 

Then lets consider the fact that lv 4, is always summonable by this and remains the most proliferated lv target yet

K, I funking want this... I don't know why, I just want it, gimme dat overhyped beef.

No, you're missing the bigger picture, and overhyping random cards, like usual.

 

Unless luck is given a way to stop being luck, this is worse than Dragonpit Magician. It has a 33% chance of being better, and it's a beater, but 7 isn't a good level for a fodder ass card like this.

 

What 8 are you even Pendulum Summoning? What 9?

 

This isn't them giving up any more than the Plant Mandolin/Mecha Gong dragons from last year. It's a luack based card that is, overall, worse than existing cards, and doesn't give you any edge.

[ENMaker]

Dragonpit Magician can be searched out even more than this and is a generic 8. This is a generic 4 that can, based on a dice roll, become a generic 10 for one turn. But what level 8/9 monsters are you going to be dropping anyway? Like what deck actually wants a scale 10? What deck could be made possible by this being a potential scale 10?

Things like Sacred Soldier and DMoC that were designed to take effort summon no longer need such. Again, it's less what can summon and more the slow dropping of restriction from Qlis->Zefra->P-Pal->This. The next logical step is dropping the luck factor and that terrifies me

 

Qli: No SS other than Qli

Zefra: No Pendulum other than Zefra

Ppal/Magican: No god damn restriction, but 2-8 is range

Cow Cow's Brother: No restriction, and 10 range, luck hindering

[Maeriberii Haan]

I mean...

 

 

This thing is better if you want to have a scale 10.

 

It's still sheet but hey, that's the point.

[ENMaker]

It's not the next logical step to drop the luck factor at all. If that were a thing they did we'd have a Snipe Hunter-style monster that was discard 1 pop 1. Or a Crazy Box with a choice of effects and no restrictions. The reason this has the potential strength it does is the unreliability of it, that's how these luck-mechanic based cards function universally.

It's gone from needing two card to do it to 1 card. I'm just not comfortable with the direction they're taking the game in. Will it do much? Maybe not, but a lot of god awful design cards do nothing. Doesn't excuse them or the precedent they set

We do, it just got made first

[ENMaker]

Because discard 1 to pop a specific variety of face up monster is comparable to pop anything. Come on like really pal, they're not the same and you know they're not.

That's a point, fair. But there difference here, is that we have 4 data points now, instead of Snipe Hunter's or Crazy Box's one. And it's clearly converging on a not so good place. You really can't deny the pendulum powercreep and you know it

I can very easily deny that this is powercreep because it's not, it's a card with the potential to enable some inconsistent shenaniganry that would be by and large no better than what is currently possible with relative regularity. Really, where do you see this being used? It has no real home. To take the idea that this is a gateway to generic scale 10s is a leap of faith with no basis in what has gone before, and an overreaction.

Well merely that the restrictions attached to one of the few Balanced but Good pendulum archetypes have slowly been dropped one by one. Up till this point, we really didn't have anything that Could match Qli's high scale on an even potentially generic level. Now we do. Is it trash? Sure. Would I ever summon DMoC off this? Prolly not, but the the dropping of a restriction even in a chancy way bothers me is all

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

This is the single greatest card in the history of the world. That's really all that needs to be said. My people are uprising, taking over your YGO, beware for we are coming.

 

Edit: Page two top comment get, it's fate.

[Sleepy]

This has the potential of an awesome Scale, but if you hit jackpot and get a Scale 10, rather than thinking it is dumb luck, kudos to the player that mained the borderline highest possible Level of monsters that could potentially be Pendulums Summoned with it and would make said super high Scale worth it. I know most people won't, they'd probably just tech a Level 8 somewhere and it would have to be a highly searchable/recyclable one that would need its own alternate uses in said deck recipe.

 

What's the most somebody could do with that? Pendulum Back x 2 Nekroz of Trishula copies?

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

Okay but seriously wouldn't, to make this work right, you have to have multiple, different, high level monsters and hope you have the right one when you roll the right number?

Why am I in this section?
