ENMaker Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Better than both Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 and Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I do think it's cool that they're reprinting this before the new LS stuff come out tbph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Ah yes, I remember this being another highly desired card only available as a prize promo. ...Holy sheet, it's more incredible than I remembered. Probably because I didn't care much about it originally. It's a generic Rank 4, detach 1, mill 3, draw cards equal to LS milled. That's really good. And if it dies, mill 3, and nuke cards up to the number of LS milled. And it's an LS itself. Yeah. Um... And LS is getting more support. Good timing, I guess?

The Highlander Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 About time. Funnily enough Lightsworn is one of the most promising archtypes for the upcoming format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thank goodness we'll be getting this thing quicker than a lot of promos. It is in high demand anyway compared to the rest of the irrelevant prize cards. Lightsworns are definitely top contenders of this format and onward...they're just hidden because of lack of access to Minerva. My friend went undefeated for 6 rounds with Minervasworns in fact, and surprisingly a lot of people didn't know what she did. But it's still good we get her in advance for the the Twilightsworns far ahead, while also giving Lightsworns and Infernoids and other decks boosts.

Blake Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 LS are not going to be a best deck or top contenders or whatever lol Unless there some ZOMG WHAT card in COTD we haven't seen, deck is still bad, and Links don't "slow the game" enough to help.

Kaiji Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'm willing to give LS the benefit of the doubt but only due to Snow being an insane YUGIOH card which extends to That GRASS is Greener being pretty good (so that's not limited to LS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punishment and Lumina are all the deck needs to be decent in a post Zoo world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiji Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 how is lawnmowing exclusive to lightsworn, its still got issues with the normal summon js and why bother with punishment if it's being played after good cards like snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiji Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hang on, isn't Lightsworn Shiranui low meta rn?not quite, the only reason its being considered as "meta" is due to Lawnmowing and the expectation of facing mirrors; in that case its still not quite the best choice as lawnmowing becomes a constant in that matchup so you end up comparing how the decks play without lawnmowing. Which is why paleos are considered better than ur average normal summon lawnmowing deck (shiranui and ls) Worth noting this won't be the case when MACR drops as Master Peace trumps normal summon decks and paleos lmfaooo (possibly after CODT too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what the banlist will do to zoos by the time TCG gets punishment. For now, the debate will have to be, do LS stand a chance OCG side, and I'd wager yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, the debate will have to be, do LS stand a chance OCG side, and I'd wager yesThat's not the point :VHurry up and get it before I call you mean things like "BGMeme clone"The point is that Judgment/Punishment Dragon's effects, while potent, don't matter nearly as much as their summoning conditions which put them at major disadvantage compared to decks that have bosses that can be incorporated into their engines and summoned much more easily If Lightsworn are relevant, and I'm not ruling out the possibility, it will more likely be due to Snow White, as Kaiji has noted, rather than any clunky Main Deck Boss Dragons.(Twilightsworn Wulf prob decent potential to give deck turnaround too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
