Lee Cheng Men Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Lore: When your opponent Special Summons a monster (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. 2 of your Monster Card Zones cannot be used. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Phantom_Dragon This card seems pretty easy to be summoned, but it's kinda risky for blocking 2 of your Monster Card Zone.

Snatch Steal Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Frankly, it would be good with higher defense and immunity, or some kind of floodgate. Now, it's just a detriment. Really wish Konami had gone the extra inch with this one. Light dragon isn't bad, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQuitDolphin Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 It's Level 8 for Rank 8. ...that's basically it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 People were more hyped about Trade-In as a draw engine back when this card was just available in Ultra Rare. Oh GX era... those stats didn't look as crappy back then as they seem now. It'd have to have like 2800 DEF and some small way to protect it, and/or there should have existed support that benefited from having locked zones in exchange for power.... Well, Cyber Dragon was limited back then so this is more a product of its time. It's biggest crime is probably that your opponent is more likely to kill it before you get to use it yourself....

Guest BGMCANN0N Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The 2 unusable spaces though... Wouldn't a Creature Swap/ Mystic Box give your opponent the cloggage instead? Just a thought... And he is easily dumpable and revivable due to Dragon-Type's wide array of Graveyard related support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah, IMO this deserved better DEF for its Level 8 and negative effect. Not to mention the effect misses timing and has that (except the Damage Step) clause, which should get in the way on some instances.Hmm... it just occurred to me that if it also could be Special Summoned on the opponent's field, it could have been and be an interesting disruption card. I mean, you drop this on the opponent in response to him/her performing an Special Summon and now he/she has a monster locking 3 zones (including itself) and whose high Level makes it less likely to be used for a Synchro or Xyz Summon.

Progenitor Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 It saw play for a while when Dark Matter turbo was injecting it's cancer into our lives, and I think it was used a bit in chaos variants as well due to the light dragon. But now Felgrand exists so that pretty much completely demolished any semblance of a niche this filled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
