Kagemucha Knight

[GarlandChaos]

 

Lore: When you Normal Summon a Level 3 monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster.

 

Does this thing have much use in Phantom Knights? I would hope so, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

I mean, they go into a lot of Rank 3s, and this would probably help in that respect. Just...I feel like it's missing more than just ATK/DEF. I just don't know what.

 

Discuss.

Koma really loves this card in his PK's 4 sure

[Tinkerer]

I mean, it stops you from overly relying on Silent Boots for early plays. Really, I think the biggest thing that really hurts this card in PK... Is that it isn't a PK. It can't be searched in-archetype, it can't be summoned back with the traps, and it is limited to merely being a play starter as it has no grave effect to help out (that last point has nothing to do with its name but w/e).

 

Now that I'm looking back at the downsides... it seems significantly worse for PK than I'd originally thought...

Komaeda already brushed it off as I did: It's obvious synergy, but too susceptible to Maxx "C" and not searchable.

Ah, the I remember this guy! He and Crane Crane were damn important n rank 3 deck I made on DN. Of course PKs have been released since, can't comment on his relation with them yet. But this guy was really useful in starting off plays.

>Phantoms have an abundance of Special Summons

>Phantoms already have a Kagemucha that is searchable in the Archetype itself

The deck runs RotA anyway but yeah, not as searchable as it could be.

[goodfusion]

It's worth running if only because it fits perfectly theme-wise.

those aren't reasons why it's bad or else every other special summon in your deck like silent boots would be "susceptible to Maxx c"

 

those might be reasons why certain cards like Blue Layer and Hippo are marginally better than this card ("terrortop isn't searchable")

 

the real reason is that it requires you to consume your NS and is worse than a 2nd Phantom Knight monster in that scenario as you'd be unable to revive it with Breaksword

[IQuitDolphin]

^ True, missed that aspect of it.

Boots doesn't start a chain, this does.

 

Also nobody plays PKs pure.

It's not as good as some of the Main Deck Phantom Knight monsters. Though, is there something this does better than them?

 

Here are some cards that can add it from the Graveyard(though, that likely doesn't change things):

Seeing as PKs Banish everything that hits the Grave, you will never want these.

I said "it", not "them". Cards that can add Kagemucha Knight.

Nightmare needs two targets. And you're not running either one without other targets.

Boots requires a PK, you drop Maxx "C" on their NS and they'd have to end their turn js like im not sure what you are trying to pint out since I'm literally saying this is worse than Silent Boots

 

2nd line makes no sense as I mentioned Blue Layer and Hippo which would imply that the theoretical PK deck is not pure

[The Warden]

This was better when Mathematician and RotA were @3. NS Mathe, SS this and mill Gloves. Banish Gloves to mill Robe, banish Robe to grab Boots. Mathe + this makes Leviair, Leviair SSs Gloves, SS Boots, make another R3.

 

Sadly the combo sucks with a key component @1.

I was pointing out the distinction between the two as far as Maxx C is concerned.

 

Second line absolutely makes sense, somebody mentioned playing "pure PK".
