Unions, a dead subtype


Recommended Posts

Well' date=' Unions were designed to serve specific themes (not to mention specific cards). There's nothin' we can do about them, really, but to bolster the support of the only archetype largely based around Unions - UWXYZ.

Which, to be fair, Konami did recently, so maybe there's still hope.

I'd argue that they needn't have support' date=' unless they gather round a theme.

Support for Unions in general would indeed be of little use outside of a specific theme, since a given deck would use one, perhaps two Unions at the most, making the support impractical.

 

That's not to say that Konami couldn't start releasing better Unions, or support for specific Unions. For example, take something like one of the Duel Terminal archetypes and give it a monster with an archetype-specific Marauding Captain effect and a Union monster that can equip to any other member of the archetype and actually gives an effect worth using (as opposed to "equipped monster gains 400 ATK" or some other nonsense).

Union had so much potential' date=' but they died after...Force of the Breaker, I think. Wasn't Spirit of the Six Samurai the last Union released?

 

Like nearly everyone else on this thread, especially Pika, I would like [b']V[/b]WXYZ to have more support.

 

lol. Some people don't even know the alphabet.

I dont know why they didnt make Armory Arm (Arms Aid) a Union. Thats a load of crap in my opinion. Its got the same effect as a freaking Union.

 

Whats so bad about a Synchro Union?

 

Union Monsters' effects always contain some variation of this at the end:

 

(A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed' date=' destroy this card instead.)[/quote']

 

Sometimes the destruction needs to be by battle, but you get the idea.

 

Because Arms Aid is not a Union, it cannot destroy itself to protect the equipped monster. Because Arms Aid is not a Union, a monster can be equipped with more than one Arms Aid. Because Arms Aid is not a Union, a monster can be equipped with both Arms Aid(s) and an actual Union Monster.

The same thing about feedin' dead horses' date=' perhaps?

So your saying that theres no point of it being a Union, because Unions are a dead sub-type?
