Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Card B is missing its stats; I'll assume they're 3000/2500 if this is supposed to be another BE-copy. In the future, please double check to make sure everything is in the original post; thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdelrahman Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I already fixed it, but thanks for pointing that out. Also it wouls be greatly appreciated if you review the cards as the 1v1 section has started to lose its voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardgameking Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I can't help but feel that anonymity gets hard when someone makes cards for only certain archetypes whenever they can. Why does Card B have no ATK and DEF? I mean, you're not actually going to be attacking with it, but still. Despite this, this thing does the job well- discard Sage, for example, and you get insta-r8nk, which is pretty sweet. Hell, if you targeted Maiden, you can Synchro into Azure-Eyes or BESD as well. And that isn't a nice field to play against. I can't help but feel this is too strong, considering the sheer speed Blue-Eyes already make r8nks and the power of cards like the Galaxy-Eyes Xyz monsters, Felgrand and others. Card A faces direct competition from Arkbrave and the newer Felgrand monster as well as indirect competition from -Eyes Dragons. It also breaks the law of 3000 (!), which is something. Compared to Arkbrave, it has enough attack not to worry about lacking a boost effect and while bouncing isn't as good as banishing, it lets you reuse your own Spell and Trap cards, for example Call of The Haunted and co. The MST effect is neat as this thing is a Trade-In target or you could just discard it for Melody. Unlike Arkbrave and Lord Felgrand, it can't revive other Dragons and lacks -Eyes Dragon archetype support and can't be searched by Melody, all of which are substantial hits. Card A is good, but suffers from not being as easy to search as others while Card B extends Blue-Eyes plays to dangerous levels. Voting for Card A.

Abdelrahman Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 You should take another look at Card B as I fixed its stats. But other than that, I have no further objections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Card A is one of the very few cards that breaks the unspoken "Rule of 3000 ATK", which isn't bad, but maybe a bit too high for what it can do (not like Dragon monsters aren't known for their sheer power anyway). But yeah, this thing being immune to Bottomless and other common Traps does this a few favors, coupled with said 3300 ATK. Granted, as the above user mentioned, Melody can't search this card because DEF is too low and it just bounces the S/T cards away as opposed to blowing them up / banishing like Arkbrave. In essence, it's basically an on-summon Trunade and blows up something (S/T) when it dies, which is nice. For what it's worth, ditch this with Ravine/Foolish/Trade-In, then revive it later via Gospel of Revival (or whatever its English name is now) or Darkness Metal among other things. So yeah, it's a nice card but has its own share of shortcomings. Card B really pushes Blue-Eyes farther than they should be going, and that's not a good thing. Ideal use for this card is yeah, trigger off Sage to SS a Blue-Eyes of choice (either OG or White Spirit Dragon to banish an S/T; or can be SS'd via Sage's effect in the Deck), then summon this and Rank 8 into whatever you want. I do need to ask WHERE is this card being summoned from in the first place; as it stands, can imply anywhere (I'll assume it's the hand for the time being, but yeah). I suppose it also lets Blue-Eyes go into Thunder End Dragon if they even run it. Doing some test runs off Blue-Eyes in recent days, yeah they can/will Rank 8 like mad and giving them more ways to do it is pushing them over the edge. -----Voting A in this case.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 This is about the time I bring up the new "1v1 resignation policies" thing with Gadjiltron, since this is the second time a resignation has occurred during 1v1s. Anyway, make sure one of you remembers to rep voters for their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
