You're never getting Stratos back now. You know that, right? >.> <.<

DON'T CARE, NEW SEARCHER. WHO IS DARK

But seriously Konami don't you dare pretend Stratos is broken when you just made the Tellaknights.

In their defence...

...

...

...At least Deneb can only be used once per turn?

The Star Seraph Stratos that gives an extra +2 when you go for a 3 material xyz on the other hand...

As a semi-dedicated Malefic player, I'm appalled nobody thought of those guys for Mound of the Bound.

Not entirely sure if I'd use it over Malefic World. It'd need some testing.

I mentioned malefic cyber end last page though

and the only malefics anybody ever uses are cyber end and stardust anyway

So...I just noticed something about this card...It's not once per turn. I mean, it's entirely reliant on your opponent, but...it's still kind of crippling. Probably using this in the Masked HERO deck I'm going to make when the new stuff's out. >.> <.<

Am I the only one that thinks this card seems weirdly weak compared to most of the set?

Thinking about Shadoll stuff...since they just need to be sent to the graveyard by a card effect, regardless of where they start out...do people think things like Dark World Dealings or Armageddon Knight would be worth running, or should Shadoll Fusion be enough? Also, are there any lights worth running with them aside from maybe Effect Veiler, or should that requirement for Nephilim be left up to xyz monsters/the opponent?

Also, I'm kind of considering making a fairy deck...Even though this effect is probably nowhere near as ridiculous as it looks...

There is a difference between a deck with random teched Cyber End Dragon or Stardust Dragon and a dedicated Malefic deck that also runs at least Rainbow Dragon.

Be Honest, 99% of people have an ED, and 99% of those that do have a monster over 2000 in there. You get a 2200 level 4 beat stick for free.

Whereas I just realised it's not a continuous card. But only because I didn't check your link before because I was in epic 36-turn Wind-Up Tech Genus vs. Frog/Ghostrick Monarch. I even left the replay for any of you YGOPro users out there.

Monarchs won. But if I hadn't misplayed and let him have his La DD's effect, no idea where it could have ended up.

A chance at a 2200 level 3? Not actually that impressive nowadays.

Ah, right. Was thinking of the other Battleguard trap.

DOROO! MONSUTA KAADO!

ewww it's just a burn card

I'd be genuinely impressed if someone managed to hit for 5000 with it.

So would I... because the most it can hit for is 4000.

If it didn't discard my whole hand I'd use it in Watts. Hardly short of chances to activate it, and I often want to get into backrow faster so I can have things like Black Horn of Heaven and The Huge Revolution is Over to protect my Wattlock.

Still no sign of Critias and Hermos stuff, I see. Wonder if they'll get their own sets?

How? The most damage you can inflict to activate it is 1500, and you can get another 3500 by conveniently drawing nothing but monsters.

Question! With the way it's phrased, each excavation and burn is a separate effect, right? So...would this + 3 Dark Room of Nightmare = 1400 damage for every monster you hit?

That being an impossible best case scenario unless that card is the only non-monster card in your deck.

Under normal circunsatnces it will do 2000-3000 damage max (maybe 2500-3500 in sylvans)

That reminds me, will Konami make another archtype based around excavations? Making a mechanic for just one archtype seems rather cheap and will have people think that those card that use the mechanic will automatically do well in Sylvans

The card can do 4000 damage because it excavates 7 times after the first activation. If you include the battle damage itself (I didn't), it can do 5500 max.

and yes, tachi each hit would trip Dark Room.

Which is why I said I would be impressed.

as someone that used to run Magical Merchant Skull Servants I think that the odds aren't that bad if you stick to less than 8 S/Ts total (which may be less unbalanced later on when we have more Pendulum Monsters to fill in the role of Continuous Spell Cards)

I don't think it's worth using anyway though (I mean it's just 500 damage per followed by the direct attack...)

Anyone here know if using Roll Out! counts as the Union Monster being equipped correctly? (Asking because equipping, say, Vylon Tesseract to Vylon Omega with Omega's effect doesn't count and therefore doesn't give it Tesseract's Union effect)

Hmm...rulings aren't exactly clear, but...I'd say the wording's similar enough to Formation Union, that it'd be more likely to follow that ruling? In which case it gets the effect. Not entirely sure though.

hmm...

So...it occurs to me that the massive life cost to spam with Soul Charge...isn't actually that bad given how many people seem to insist on playing triple Upstart Goblin...

Here's a guy and another guy and a bird thing.

It's confirmed there's no Critias or Hermos stuff, unfortunately, BUT, the text of "Legend of Heart" refers to multiple Legendary Dragon and Knight monsters, meaning it's likely they will be released eventually.
