LK96 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 [spoiler=Big Image] Dark Anthelion DragonRank 7 Dragon-type XYZ (???Pendulum???)3000 / 2500 2 Level 7 MonstersYou can detach 1 Overlay Unit from this card to decrease the ATK of an opponent monster by half and increase this card's ATK by the same amount until the end of this turn, also gain that same amount of Life Points. This card cannot be destroyed the turn you activated this effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slinky Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 It's not bad, but it's not good either. Will likely get buffed if released irl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~~ Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 As long as they keep this a Pendulum and give it a usable scale (less than 4) and decent Pendulum Effect, this card is fine IMO. If they had the nerve to not put an OPT on, this thing would be sweet as funk. At the moment, the only Pendulum Xyz (sometimes important for decks to be able to complete a scale by going into the extra deck) are locked to Dragon-Type. They also do nothing as a monster unless you summon them in a really clunky way. This on the other hand is at least a free 3000 damage just for making a Rank 7, while also presumably becoming a scale when it dies (probs by Sky Iris). Cards like this make me yearn for Dragon Rulers to one day be unbanned and for Pendulum Rulers to be a deck. TL;DR It's another Extra Deck pendulum, and honestly those things have a lot of potential, so to see one this generic excites me. I'm resting all my hopes on that Pendulum Effect and scale.

The Nyx Avatar Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 So essentially a somewhat stronger Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon? What it has over Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: 500 ATK It's effect costs 1 Xyz Material as opposed to 2 It's effect doesn't target You gain Life Points on top of the ATK increase/decrease effect Protected from destruction when it activates its effect What does Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon have over this? Easier Summoning requirements. Sure, it has more to its effect than Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, but it doesn't seem all that worth it for 2 Level 7 monsters.

Sure, it has more to its effect than Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, but it doesn't seem all that worth it for 2 Level 7 monsters.It likely does target, just it's using manga wording, not real wording. Also you missed out the fact that it's a Pendulum, and that comes with some nice benefits. Also Rank 7 isn't harder to summon than Rank 4, they're just parts of different pools. Basically, this has a lot less competition than DRXD because the Rank 7 pool isn't as strong or varied as the Rank 4 pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, as is now, it doesn't seem worth the effort for 2 Level 7 monsters. Perhaps later, should we learn what it does in regard to the Pendulum aspect, I'll take back what I said.

玄魔の王 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 @Scale and Pendulum Effect: no idea. We likely won't know until it's released. But I suspect Scale 4 and a self-summon effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~~ Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Scale 4 and a self-summon effect.Better funking not be lol I'll spit on the card if it's some sheet-tier sheet like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also that Dark Rebellion's boost is forever IRL, and this card says until the End Phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Dark Rebellion is also until the end of the turn in the anime, so I'm assuming Anthelion will get the same buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
