Guest Star Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Abyss_Soldier Why isn't this used more? I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. Even with the "once per turn" restriction, it's still a great card. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SephirothKirby Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's a -1. Temporary bouncing isn't worth it in a card like this, and it's too specific. Maybe if it were "Once per turn, discard 1 card to return 1 card on the field to the owner's hand." it'd be worth playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangePeel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I use to run this card in my water deck back in the day. The reason its not used is its not splashable and can only function in water decks which aren't very effective this meta or many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaWave Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Abyss Soldier is a Great Card........in a Water Deck. That's it. But if used right, Abyss Soldier can completely piss your opponent off if used in combination with A Legendary Ocean and Salvage, the Levia Dragons, etc.....

Chevalier Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 It needs a specific -1 that, while it may have great ATK, is easily trampled over by any fast paced Deck. The "Once Per Turn," bit is another draw back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well, Star, I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say that it just might be possible that this card's lack of use may just have something to do with the minor detail that nobody runs WATER monsters.

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 This and Protector of Atlantis are good for getting WATERs in the grave for Aqua Spirit and Fenrir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Shocker Android Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 3 Ocean 1 Airman and this might work. I know when Airman was at 3 big city decks were running Abyss Soldier in japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark One Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 This guy would have been great Synchro tech if the discard wasn't restricted to a WATER mosnter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Too theme based. The theme that this is based on has a lot of support, but not a very good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I cant belive none of you mentioned the fact that it could return Premature and/or Swords of Light Well, Prematures in the last format, But still...... Abyss Soldier was basicly the first Brionac. But appearently not alot of people used it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
