Rescue Cat (Errata)


Recommended Posts

Level 4 EARTH Beast-Type Effect Monster
ATK 300
DEF 300
You 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

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.

*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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Actually, MX-Saver Invoker only grabs Warriors and Beast-Warriors, not pure Beast-Types.

 

Oh, you are right! 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... Summoner Monk and good old (errata'd) Sangan maybe? xD

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.

Forget synch 6, go into instant Naturia Beast

It stops Pendulums. If you happen to be playing against Pendulums, make it. Otherwise, make something else. Unless you're playing against Prophecy or whatever

Just not sure if the meta-smart goal is to go for Nat Beast

 

Cause you have to run some manner of Lv2 right

 

Having the option of making r3nk or lv 6/7 synch seems smarter looking at the metagame is all

then side in a Level 2 earth against pend decks in metas where pends could be an issue if it's such a big deal

 

If people are running anti-spell, there's nothing wrong with nat beast
