Really have to see what the Servants do, but it's definitely worth getting out.

4000 ATK, can't be targeted or destroyed, field nukes your opponent upon summon, and locks down Fusions, Synchros, Xyzs, and drawing cards while in the Pendulum Zone.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

utopia the lightning kinda ruined this game.

[Kanashimi]

Yay, Odd-Eyes Fusion fills half of this card's Fusion mat needed.

[evilfusion]

This is just...huh.

 

4000/4000 stats, Level 12 Fusion/Pendulum with a Scale 1. Interesting.

 

I can sort of see already how this card is going to work in the anime, and why it's so overwhelmingly powerful. The Materials are rather flexible, although the Magicians and Astrograph still seem more reliable for bringing it out without a stupid amount of investment.

 

In the Pendulum Zone, it locks down activated effects of Synchro, Xyz, and Fusions, meaning that pretty much only Pendulums remain fair game. And its second effect, in the context of the anime, is a "Destroy Action Cards" effect.

 

But it seems to be unable to be Pendulum Summoned, since it "must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Summoned by other ways". What's the point of having a Scale 13, then?

 

One sided Field nuke when Summoned. Can't be targeted or destroyed by opponent effects, SSes things when it kills monsters, and becomes a Pendulum Scale if it dies.

 

It definitely is a boss monster.

Problem is you need an empty field to fill that, so its kinda useless with zarc unless im missing something

Find a way to add a Synchro/Xyz/Fusion to your hand???

 

Honestly the lack of synergy with Odd-Eyes Fusion is so disappointing because of how close it is to being perfect.

As did Kaijus

[Sleepy]

Am I seeing Scales 0/13? That's awesome. Level 1 Pendulums aren't impossible to bring back if they do more of that in the future.

 

As for this boss, it sounds fairly easy to prepare a Vortex Dragon with an OG Odd-Eyes (Pendulum) + Meteorburst(Synchro) early on, then make an Absolute (Xyz) if you wanna really focus on bringing this out.

 

There'd still be an issue that Dragon's Mirror sounds like the best bet and that doesn't seem to mix very well with what otherwise would be a turn 1 or 2 Sky Iris play.

It sounds pretty overpowering, but in a way that sort of screams "anime boss", though not of the bad kind. I'll try to get it when it comes out in TCG.

[Maeriberii Haan]

I'm disappointed that this isn't pendulum-able.

I'm disappointed that this isn't pendulum-able.

Just you wait, the scale 0 will allow you to Pendulum Summon ignoring the Summoning Conditions

Must be Fusion Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.

[Progenitor]

psssst

Must be Fusion Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.

oh rite.

read as "must first be fusion summoned"

well that makes a 0/13 scale downright redundant doesn't it?

weird design choice there.

[Hallohallo]

I'm sure we'll get a "Supreme King Servant Dragon" monster that lets this bad boy to Pend Summon ignoring its conditions.

 

It'd be way too easy to use the nuke effect if it weren't a Fusion Summoned only card.

[~British Soul~]

Scale 0 isn't redundant as we have level 1 pends, shame I doubt we'll get Leo's fusion pend though.

[Progenitor]

I meant in the context of said scale being in direct support of Zarc itself and then having Zarc not be able to benefit from said scale that seems to have been elevated specifically to accommodate said boss.

That's true, though I'm not surprised Konami tacked on the cannot be SS'd other ways clause on Zarc. Perhaps it can be PS'd in the anime, we don't know.

[玄魔の王]

I'm surprised it doesn't say "or Pendulum Summoned tbh, but this thing is still hilarious in how ott it is.

[Darj]

Isn't this the first Fusion Pendulum? I guess it's not as surprising, but good to see Fusion Pendulums becoming official.

And yeah, when I read its materials and type my first thought was that Dragon's Mirror will be one of the most feasible ways for Fusion Summoning it.

The first one officially  released. The first one in the anime was one of Leo Akaba's cards.

[Blake]

I mean, OEF + Dragon's Mirror + any dragon Pendulum = Zarc

 

But that's a 3-card combo with an unsearchable card dependent on going second

[Darj]

Yay, Odd-Eyes Fusion fills half of this card's Fusion mat needed.

 

The other half can be fulfilled with a Dragon Pendulum on hand/field + Instant Fusion --> Darkfire Dragon.

EDIT: Nvm, Odd Eyes Fusion requires you to control no monsters to use fodder from the Extra Deck.

[White Void]

If you want to summon him in the laziest way possible, you can mill 2 fusion dragons, 2 synchro dragons, 2 xyz dragons and any combination of 2 Fastwing, Odd Eyes Rebellion, or Odd Eyes Raging via Mega Zaborg and then use Dragon's Mirror or Miracle Synchro Fusion (which is searchable via the gates if you want to go that route). You'll have enough material to summon him twice as well. Probably not as consistent as the Magician route but possibly faster and "splashable" if you're running something with that kind of Extra Deck space.

[VCR_CAT]

So, did anyone else notice that its non-target/destroy effects only apply to opponent's cards? Basically put, probably the best use of this card is to summon, nuke, slap for 4K+, then pop it yourself with whatever effect you want, plant it as a scale and now you have a Majesty's Fiend for opponent's ED monsters and a Dark Law lite. That's a pretty big power play.
