Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Level 4 EARTH Beast-Type Effect MonsterATK 300DEF 300You can only use the effect of “Rescue Cat” once per turn.(1) You can send this card to the Graveyard; Special Summon 2 Level 3 or lower Beast-Type monsters from your Deck, but their effects are negated, also they are destroyed during the End Phase.Synchro Cat is alive, uniflora loops are dead, it's a good day overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 OH sheet IT'S funking CAT. oh they fixed it. Give me a while, I will think of a way to break it. I know the beast cardpool way too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I suppose we can make a casual use of Archfiend Marmot but it'll be slower and actually fair now.This card is more or less like a Tour Guide that asks for a bit more dedication (squeezing 2 monsters instead of 1 at a time). It also has a lot of good targets that came out ever since.... I'm gonna look for any copies of it I might have in my collection and test it out. This is a good time for the game, if only because it actually sparks some activity over here and finally shakes up things a bit.The OCG is pretty experimental right now. I didn't expect them to hit Toad, ABCs, or Zodiac Beasts so soon in any way. Then now adding that stuff like this is coming back... and many of these aren't being nerfed to death.

evilfusion Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 *rolls eyes* Seriously, I feel like I outright said ages and ages ago that slapping a hard OPT clause on Rescue Cat would have helped fix it. I probably mentioned how Rescue Rabbit was trying really hard to be "balanced Rescue Cat" by banishing instead of sending to Grave, and having a hard OPT clause. And how it only could grab Normals because grabbing Effects was an issue. ...wait, Cat also negates the effects now? That's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 It's still good. It isn't "fixed". It stopped Memedolche sheet, but it's still a valuable 1-card Synchro/Xyz along the lines of Terrortop or TGU, which is relevant when cards like Ragin/Dante/Denglong exist. Maybe not now, but it's going to be played again. Don't think it's an issue anymore, but I wouldn't write it off as fair yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 fixed and bad aren't synonyms, you know.I put fixed in quotes for a reason. The card still has a lot of potential, we just removed Uniflora loops and Hootcake memes. Potential to be too good. Probably just follows top and TGU, but it is somewhat more versatile, as it can achieve specific mats, and it has a lower base power for higher potential. Barring BA.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 fixed is the opposite of broken. It is still incredibly powerful, yes, but it isn't broken. Unless you consider tgu broken, but I think we are a few years past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Oh wow, I originally read the effect as once per duel. So glad it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you consider tgu broken, but I think we are a few years past that.And I'm saying it could still be a bit broken. It's between TGU and Terrortop, at present. It's worse for R3 than top, but it's arguably better for Synchros, and it has access to lower ranks as well, for what that's worth. It has a lower initial ceiling, due to devotion, but a higher ceiling in the long run, given its versatility in what it can access. And 1-card R3 is really strong to this day, so TGU would still be dece or better, even without BA (outside of Dante). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad.And I thought I double-checked Invoker to confirm before making that comment. There should be some practical ways to grab or search this, hmm...

Βyakuya Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Card's still good but you can't do no more degenerate loops now, especially with X-Sabers and Madolce (RIP Tainted Wisdom). It doesn't have a clear metagame niche but I feel it's gonna find its way because a maximum R3 or Level 6 Synch utility is still very good. We'll just have to see how it works out when you can get Invoker or other Extra Deck monsters easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
