I say this card is one of the best Tuners around, but I think it's effect is a bit OP (for example, this card could destroy Blue-Eyes White Dragon by battle)

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Destroy Blue-Eyes by battle?!? THE Blue-Eyes White Dragon?!? Should we ban it OP? Jesus 2016 lay off the power creep

 

 

It's seen some side play actually since it doesn't activate. You could take out Crystal Wing or Exterio in battle for example

I don't mean that Blue-Eyes is the best monster ever, I'm just saying that it can effect and help take down a lot of high ATK monsters.

[IQuitDolphin]

Although it could have been worded less aggressively, Winter is correct in that your application of the card isn't the best. Blue-Eyes White Dragon is not a problem card, and it's definitely not one of the best tuners out there.

 

It has limited side deck usage and is overall a lackluster card. The only time I think it had value was when Apoqliphort Towers was a thing.

To be fair, now that I looked at it, this card is surprisingly strong ATK-wise while it applies its effect. I mean, despite affecting itself, as a Level3 with an outstanding ATK of 1600 (for a Level3), it ends up 700 ATK while most monsters most likely end with less. For instance, Level4s with their standard 1600~1800 end up with 600, barely losing to this card; and of course higher Levels/Ranks get higher reductions. Still, low-Rank Xyz can run over it, and yeah, beaters are not good enough in nowadays YGO.

eh... it affects

 

not very good really

Generic Towers out :^)

It's more the fact you were so close.

 

The 3k attack Dragon you're looking for is Crystal Wing or maybe Azure Eyes, not BEWD.

 

Sorry, dolphin is right, I came off more condescending than you merited. There was no reason for me to be that acrimonious

 

It's a very good card though in the niches it solves

[evilfusion]

Huh...this does look at least...usable. It's definitely not trash.

 

Wyrm has some good support (mostly Yang Zings from my recollection, but I'm a bit out of the loop), being a Tuner gives it a little extra. Level 3 is a solid enough Level. 1600 ATK is excellent for its level.

 

And what's this? An actually GOOD ATK/DEF reduction effect? It saps 300 x Level/Rank, which is great that Xyz aren't immune because SO many cards are actually judged negatively on the merits of "It doesn't affect Xyz"...which is a legit complaint.

 

So on the average monster, it'll sap about 900-1500 ATK/DEF for nothing. Only major downside I see is that this also affects itself. It drains its own ATK/DEF by 900, meaning it's only a 700 ATK monster.

 

It doesn't really merit play, but I think Wyrm focused and/or Synchro focused decks could get a little mileage out of this...but since it affects your own monsters, too...hmmm...that becomes the major issue, doesn't it? With such a potent ATK/DEF draining tool, you can't really capitalize on it to any significant degree, because it reduces your own monsters. That means the best thing it can do is weaken something, maybe run it over, and then Synch.

I wish venom swamp killed anything with 0 attack, then we could just NS this and play venom swamp + burden of the mighty and just cheese wins

Daily reminder that Paleozoics don't need their Normals and all come with TANKY AF 1.2k beatsticking

Anomalo and Opabinia might as well be immune to battle with their insurmountable 2.4ks

[Bringerofcake]

It's basically a continuous wightprincess SO SKULL SERVANTS WOO

[Valkyrus]

I think this is a tad bit better, even if it's a little less generic:

 

it doesn't affect itself and has greater value as a floater imo. It's also R4NK food so it not being a Tuner doesn't hurt it that much.

if only it wasn't so terrible in the mirror match ;_;

[The Frost King]

Okay then, here is some cards that can be taken down by battle with this card: Lunalight Leo Dancer/Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon/Red Dragon Archfiend/Etc.

 

Also, if you add Burden of the Mighty and King Tiger Wanghu to the mix then it gets really OP.

Eevee?

Has anyone noticed that "illumni'raj" was the OCG name?

 

Let the conspiracies commence (i'm joking, i dont believe in that s***)

 

On the subject of the actual use of the card in the game, It's decent at times. I would agree that Night Dracolich might do the job better though if you can work with a Level 4 tuner rather than a lv 3

Um, Night Dracolich is not a Tuner....

It also gets rid of Defence, not Attack.

Al-Lumi'raj gets rid of both

 

EDIT: ohh, you're talking about Night Dragolich. Well that thing also switches them to defence position
