YGO OCG News

Considering how they were done, it would just seem...wrong to release them completely separately unless the products they were released in were to be released on the same day, or at least within a fairly short time of eachother. (Like if one was here in VJMP and the other, instead of Gold Rat, was in WJMP.)

Otherwise, I would expect them to be released together in 1 single thing (only separate by some other means, not time, lol).

Maybe we'll get a new Dinosaur SD sometime and they'll be among 2 of the new cards, lol.

YESSSS. Acid Golem is worrible. COMPLETELY unplayable. Not realisticly anyway.

ALOT of more Numbers still to come, so expect some good ones, like 61 volca dino, and BAAADDDD like this one.

Do people even TRY to consider the uses a card may have BEFORE judging it as "horrible", "unplayable", etc and/or leave it to other people who actually do to figure things out, or do they simply NOT see " to Special Summon. to destroy all cards on the field/remove from play 2 cards from your opponent's hand/inflict 5000 damage to your opponent/etc" and instantly think that until "proven" otherwise?

1.) Level 3 monsters, whether it's 2 or 4, are easily spammed out these days, making it easy to Xyz Summon.

2.) 3000 ATK makes it tied with Thunder-End Dragon as the highest ATK Xyz Monster so far, thus making it a big beatstick.

3.) Having 2-4 Xyz Material Monsters at least means it'll last 2-4 of your turns in terms of no burn and/or not being able to attack.

4.) Not being able to Special Summon is one of the only REAL big downsides.

5.) This can be offset by uses like Creature Swap or something to give it to your opponent (also, depending on the card, with no Xyz Material Monsters right off the bat). This means you're opponent would be stuck with a 3000 ATK monster that, unlike Lava Golem, they cannot attack with and will burn them for 2000 more damage than Lava Golem would during their Standby Phases while also being unable to Special Summon. Add in Mask of Restrict to prevent them from Tributing it away and they'll pretty much be stuck with it over 90% of the time.

6.) Also, you could use it yourself alongside Prime Material Dragon, Rainbow Life, or something and GAIN 3000 LP during your Standby Phase(s) and not have to worry about removing a Xyz Material Monster(s), thus ensuring it can still attack at the very least. The no Special Summon deal still hurts a bit, but that still keeps it from being too big otherwise in that regard.

7.) Still good old Skill Drain.

8.) No one in their right mind, otherwise, would keep it out (on their side) for more than 1 turn anyway, so the downsides become pretty redundant there.

TG EM1 has to switch with one of your TG, not just any monster right?

Too bad, would've been awesome, XD

Give and Take would probably be one of your best bets.

Xyz Summon Acid Golem, send it to the Graveyard somehow; Tribute for a cost/Tribute Summon, Self-Sacrifice/"Mummification", or something. Flip Mask of Restrict and Give and Take and there you go.

Of course, since it's a Rank, none of your monsters will gain any Levels, but that's not the point in this case, lol.

You can also, for some extra safety, throw in a Customs of the Imperial Court/"Imperial Customs" to protect Mask of Restrict too and perhaps use some other Continuous Traps to make some extra use of it like Curse of Darkness and whatnot for some extra burn damage.

Does Give and Take work? Because if the effects happen simultaneously is there no level increase because of the rank or does it just not work? If it did then the deck would be awesome :D

Also, i like the idea of a deck that gets out beat sticks like Acid Golem and Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, switches over Golem, and burns while intimidating with Uria. It's like old Lava Golem burn decks with a new playstyle.

The closest ruling I can find;

If "Book of Moon" etc is chained to "Give and Take" so that the monster targeted by "Give and Take" is no longer face-up on the field when "Give and Take" resolves, then you still Special Summon a monster to your opponent's field.


But I guess we'll have to wait and see given Rank is a whole new thing that can spawn different rulings in such cases, given, of course, Rank =/= Level. Wouldn't surprise me if it's ruled not to work simply because Xyzs have no Level.

Otherwise, if your opponent runs Acid Golem, you could always use Misrevive/"Foolish Revival" to place it back on their field from their own Graveyard. A bit more situational, but can still work.

Well, I hope to Ra that the ruling works, but we'll have to wait.

And the the foolish revival will have to wait as a side for decks that spam it early on and ditch it later, but first thing's first: how many monsters does it require? I hope they'll say only 2 level 3.

If I squint really hard, it LOOKS like 4 Level 3s.

Actually not surprising if that's it as it would enable 4 turns of not being burned by its own effect, which is what the primarily purpose is meant to be.

You quit posting. I have just as much right to post my opinion as you.
AND i corrected myself about it being worrible, but i guess it didnt save (damn psp)

Short story short, made a deck around it, GIVE & TAKE, GALLIS burn, creature swap, xyz gift = hilarious win

'For the record' i take it all back i said earlier post ok??

Oh, cool, didn't even think of Gallis, fun!

I like it if opponent goes first, open hand has tour guide, xyz gift, and creature swap. Immediate hilarity.

actually mr squiddy its 4/four not 2/TWO lv 3 monsters. read the card b4 trolling.

im just glad its rank 3 & not 4 as gadgets would get another 'seemingly' exclusive xyz.

sorry its changed to unknown again. it WAS 4 monsters needed, which was why i said it was bad a few days ago.

if u play it, the negative effects mean crap as with 3000 atk and 3(or 4) turns to use, it'll be removed or u'll win b4 it kills you.

setsuna go dc more on wc 2011 kid u seem like u have nothing worthwhile to do

Squiddy. I'm a grown man at the age of 21. My gov't job works me into late night, which is why i posted so early, if thats what your refering to.

Why do you have a problem wit ME, specifically, out of the 6 billion ppl on the planet?
I can post here all day if i want to. Thats what this site is for. So FUCK YOU little boy. I have just as much right as you. If u dont like it, u quit coming here then. Or tell Twoday.net to disable placing comments for shriek site.

AND i apologized for mis-speaking, about this card and you, twice. And you still troll me?
Douche.

This is the same guy who said Frozen Fitzgerald will be emergency banned in pojo.
Guess even a troll infested place like pojo have standards. And you Squiddy sir, FAIL.
So please, go to metagame.com, where you can find people who will appreciate and love you.

OMG sooooooo easy to play and worth the summon. 3000 body and won't backfire on you for 4 turns? Yes please! I'll take 3 or even 300 of em. Ok i'm just kiddin but expect this to get extra deck slot, especially with Hyper Librarian limited now = OPEN SLOT

wont backfire for 2 turns (im thinking back when it was thought to have needed 4 monsters) wont matter anyway, just Creature Swap it
