Cyber Angel – Vishnu (910)

[mshends]

Level 10 LIGHT Fairy-Type Ritual Effect Monster
ATK 3000
DEF 2000
You can Ritual Summon this card with "Machine Angel Ritual". If this card is Ritual Summoned: You can destroy as many face-up monsters your opponent controls that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as possible, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed, and if you do that, this card can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card(s) on the field: You can shuffle 1 Ritual Monster from your Graveyard into the Deck; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

that's a serious buff right there......tribute idaten and it will become 4000 double attacker which is pretty scary, it has stardust protection too which is nice, definitely the boss of cyber angel

[Azuriena]

The first effect is like a different version of Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon's, interesting! :o

[EndUser]

Why did they buff it so much? Herald of Perfection/Ultimateness are a thing as well.

So that you can suffer further at my hands.

 

I mean that just means the second effect is even less relevant than it would be. Still nice to have; it fills a niche in that it can stop the activated effects of Spell/Trap Cards that are already face-up on the field like the Metalfoes (for free!), something Herald of Perfection cannot do. If they didn't change the first effect, it would be useless.

 

Edit: I just want to add this because we briefly discussed it over Skype. I will be running Vishnu because it is a Cyber Angel, but it's only alright. Its ability to go for game does not open up anything new for the Deck, with it already having Idaten and whatnot. That makes its only virtue the Raigeki effect, but it's restricted, and almost certainly requires 4 combo pieces to pull off. When will you need an Extra Deck Raigeki while also being able to pull off this card's Ritual Summon at the same time? Both Dakini and Vishnu have effects that are only used in response to your opponent's board, but at least Dakini gives me back a Ritual Monster at the end of the turn. Vishnu's secondary effect is niche and largely irrelevant, especially in tandem with Herald's; when have I not already won by just having Herald on my side? Why would I ever want to Ritual Summon this over Saffira, Idaten, or Dakini, all of which are easier to Summon and aren't completely reactive?

 

That's first impressions, anyway. I hope this gets added to YGOPro soon. >:3

[~British Soul~]

Well that's a buff, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though I kinda honestly expected it to just kill fusions like the anime version.

[Azuriena]

The translation of the card in the OP is off. The first effect's activation is optional, not mandatory, and the second effect can only be activated once per turn.

 

A more accurate translation:

 

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Machine Angel Ritual". If this card is Ritual Summoned: You can destroy as many face-up monsters your opponent controls as possible that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed, and if you do, this card can make 2 attacks during each Battle Phase this turn. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card(s) on the field: You can shuffle 1 Ritual Monster from your Graveyard into the Deck; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

I'm glad they made it from the extra deck instead of just fusions. this thing's definitely a boss level monster with those effects. essentially, against ED spam decks, it clears field, burns for up to 5k, and can then put out a maximum of 6-8k via swinging. if you don't kill them the turn you drop it, it still has a stardust-ish protection clause that gives you back some of your little friends.

[Spinny]

I still dont get this deck, it doesnt quite summon rituals at +0s but it has better bosses than nekroz... Im kinda confused by this archetype.

[Hallohallo]

Damn, this card is more op than Starve Venom and it can kill it without activating Starve Venom's last effect.

[vla1ne]

it's called balance. we don't see it often in rituals, but this is a small glimpse of it.

Add Dark Requiem to the mix for Special Summon genocide. ^^;

More costly Rituals, but with stronger effects. I'm not sure what's so confusing about that.

Dark Requiem can negate it as long as it has materials (including Dark Rebellion as a material).

[The Nyx Avatar]

Isn't Vishnu a male? Anywho:

 

1st effect: Lam- wait. This inflict damage on top of that, too? And it gets to attack twice?!

 

And that last effect is kind of cool.

[Azuriena]

Dark Requiem can negate it if it has 2 materials (including Dark Rebellion as a material).

 

Oh I didn't know it wasn't OPT. ._.

 

Meanwhile it was first thought Vishnu's effect wasn't OPT. Funny how this turned out.

[~British Soul~]

I know one guy who'll definitely want to get a playset of this card;

[Blake]

It's a 1-of.

 

Extremely searchable, high chance of winning if resolved.

In no way is Benten balanced. Nor is Ritual Sanctuary. Cyber Angels are just as dumb as other rituals.

So are Benten and Idaten. The Dakini are the only female ones in the Lot.

 

Given its searchability there's no need to run more than 1, as Black said, but it is worth running.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

So are Benten and Idaten. The Dakini are the only female ones in the Lot.

...What?

Benzaiten is a female goddess in Japanese Buddhism while Idaten is a male Bodhisattva.

Dakini is a type of spiritual being in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, she is a type of demon, while in Buddhism, she is a spiritual guide.

And Vishnu is one of the Great Trinity in Hinduism. He can be whatever gender he f**king wants.

 

But on topic, this card is great. It's nice that Konami is trying to make Rituals be strong and potent and capable of at least keeping up with the current gamestate without making them into Nekroz again.

[VCR_CAT]

It's very strong, but what's disappointing for me is that it doesn't solve the main problem Cyber Angels have:

S/T removal.

 

They're still gods at monster removal and battle; and this card is only driving the point further home. But, if they don't open Twin Twisters, there's not much they can do against back row.

There's no point if it's on a Ritual Monster. Otherwise, you have Herald of Perfection?

[Toffee.]

5$ says the IRL version says Special Summoned monsters, and it's 500 damage, instead of Fusions/1000 damage.

Well... I wasn't that far off.

 

Still, I like how it stayed pretty close to it's anime counterpart, with the addition of some buffs/etc.

 

Scrubs will likely play This in 3s, though, which is funny; It's helpful, but it's not THAT helpful.

Well, rather than how helpful it is, more the fact that it's easily searchable and that you only need to resolve its effect once to win.

[VCR_CAT]

Otherwise I have a telegraphed means of negation that prays that my opponent isn't prepared for it otherwise I'm screwed?

 

Please stop throwing this out there like it's the god-card for the deck, because it more or less isn't. Maybe for dueling rando's on sims it is.

[Blake]

I mean, you should be playing Herald. There's no excuse not to, especially since this is a worse hieratic deck than Gishki for the same purpose.

 

It's not a perfect answer, but you have like 4-5 ritual spell copies that banish from the grave to protect it, and it's easy to get them into or cheat them into the grave.
