OMG they can release a god card as a promo it seems kinda weird then would they also release the alt art versions of slifer and ra??????

Arquelino (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 15:39

God's name

C'mon, don't be that ignorant. It's not "slifer". It is OSIRIS (oshirisu no tenkuuryuu).

MagicBarrier (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 22:45

^Quit being a dick. You know what he's talking about.

festizzio (anonymous) - 2008/11/21 04:45

you're both wrong, it's slifer the executive producer.

annoymous (anonymous) - 2008/12/11 13:59

made for the banlist

its impossible to kill, with cards like giant germ, nimble momonga and phantom skyblaster, calling out a god should be much easier, might see a deck based around him in the future

danierulynx - 2008/12/18 05:55

Impossible to kill? Mirror Force would like a word with you on that one...

Megda (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 16:36

Okok... a playable Obelisk. I hope Ra and Osiris will get new versions too, maybe the Illustration will look like the manga version of the god-cards. That would be awesome^^

Yusei (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 20:25

WTF , The rich get richer ... and better at card games

HalfDemonInuyasha (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 18:06

reply

Wow, nice. A playable God Card. Wonder how this will be ruled in terms of Attribute/Type usage and what its effect will be (wouldn't surprise me if it's just the GBA/DS effect though).

But I'd get it just because it's image is done by Takahashi-sensei! All his illustrations rock ^_^

TheDarkAngelRocket - 2008/11/18 20:27

Playable Obelisk

This is the day I've been waiting for; a PLAYABLE Egyptian God card. Compared to the Sacred Beasts/Mystic Phantom Demons, their OCG effect will be watered down from their anime effect. Therefore, expect the same of Obelisk.

HalfDemonInuyasha (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 05:20

reply

Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything too broken or at least unbalanced so it's TOO evil for use...but then again, this is V-JMP and they've shown to print pretty powerful things...but then again, again, the 3 Devils/"Wicked" monsters turned out fair overall while still retaining their general effects to the highest degree they could in terms of OCG/TCG quality. (Only minor differences.)

Anon (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 20:52

shriek, you need to quit tagging pics as your own, this was ripped from newwise.com

and you got them mixed up. Obelisk is W-Jump, Black Magician is V-Jump.

danierulynx - 2008/11/18 21:11

The flaw in your comment being that this image can't be from the Nintendo World BBS as there's a 'NewWise.com' watermark on that one, which is missing from this one. The BBS gets most of its images from an image uploading website called 'Imepita'. Shriek got this picture from the same place the BBS did, and Shriek, by adding the URL of his site to the picture, has only done what the BBS does with all of its images.

Also, they're not mixed up. The text to the right of the image of Obelisk states the issue of V-Jump that the card is included within.

Please ensure that your facts are straight before making accusations.

guynamedjoe (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 23:48

Cool

What about Osiris and Ra? They getting reprinted too? I bet these cards will have the DS effect, and I hope UDE doesn't screw up and put the official gods as secrets in sets. The kids don't even have to break the rules with these cards, since they are real.

Setosama (anonymous) - 2008/11/18 23:50

OMG?! OBELISK?!

ABOUT ****ING TIME! You've made tourney legal version of the God-Ripoffs and the Devil Cards, Thank You GOD for finally doing something right with the Gods!

I just hope that's not the final Art for it... because just a plain white background is LAME! look at the Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes and other Alt-Arts from the Pack coming out at the Jump Fiesta? Come on!

Better make ones for Saint Dragon - God of Osiris and Ra, The Sun God of Dragon too!

My only complaint aside the art... in the Japanese Anime and Manga that card's name is written in English as: The God of Obelisk; why couldn't they do that for this card like they did for The Big Saturn or The Splendid Venus? Is it because they pronounce the name differently than the given English name?

Wolfgang DelaSangre (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 07:46

I'm calling...

DOUBLE SHENANIGANS ON THIS CARD!

chen (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 10:59

the frame beyhond oblisk!

why the hell the frame is white? so boring! i had high expctions!

The Big "J" (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 13:07

I just hope this Obelisk will keep ALL of it's old abilities. You know, how it can only be normal summoned with 3 tributes, not affected by monster or trap effects, spell cards only work for 1 turn, and by sacrificing 2 monsters, your opponent loses 4000 life points. That'd be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaostheory - 2008/11/19 22:37

Joke

Your joking right they would never put the tribute two monsters on but i could see them leaving the rest

DarkDragonphoenix (anonymous) - 2008/11/19 18:47

OMG!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY A PLAYABLE OBELISK!!!!
WOOOCHOOOO!!!
I CAN'T BELIVE IT!!!
I hope Konami does the same with Slifer and Ra!!!
But white background? That's not that good picture...

alex (anonymous) - 2008/11/20 01:36

dump ***

read the bottom it says not to be used in a deck

anonymous (anonymous) - 2008/11/20 04:37

to alex,
If you can read japanese, which i seriously doubt, it says it CAN be used in OCG decks..=.=

So what do u mean it says not to be used in deck?

Arquelino (anonymous) - 2008/11/20 16:45

It's not slifer<--- Jeeezz

The name is Osiris... (oshirisu no tenkuuryuu). Slifer is a stupid name they used after Roger Slifer, co-producer of 4kids (naming a god card after a simple man... c'mon... ego issues there).

danierulynx - 2008/12/18 06:12

alex and anonymous: Clearly NEITHER of you can read Japanese, as the Japanese text at the bottom of the card (and indeed at the bottom of every Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! card EVER) is a copyright notice citing Kazuki Takahashi, Studio Dice, and Shueisha, :)

Mr. Yami (anonymous) - 2008/11/20 07:02

Saw it before

I've seen that picture before...It's from Yugioh R episode 42. Yugi activated Evolution of God (spell card) and Obelisk upgraded to ultimate form into sort of true ancestor Obelisk.

TranceBreaker (anonymous) - 2008/11/21 10:02

Agreed

Its also the ancient obelisk that you can find in pharaoh's memory arc of the original yugioh series.

danierulynx - 2008/12/18 06:18

Actually, you haven't seen that picture before, as Takahashi drew it especially for this card, ;)

And, in case you weren't aware, Takahashi isn't YGO R's artist, =P

CyberStardust - 2008/11/20 10:31

WHY A GOD?

Why a god?I was hoping for some dark synhcro....Anyways if this card really can be used in a duel , then man....im gonna crush this guy...

Wysten - 2008/11/23 23:06

=_=;

You have to remember, Syncro summoning is still a very new thing, and just because Syncroing has been introduced to the game that by no means should the rest of the game be forsaken. No way should an anervercy even card be a Syncro, the game has been around for 10 years, Syncroing has not.

I for one love the idea of a old powerful card, a God Card never the less to be reprinted. It helps the tribute heavy decks out a lot, including, but not limited to Zombies and Plasma varients.

FUDO YUSEI (anonymous) - 2008/11/22 03:43

GOD!

Correct me if i am wrong ..but is this the actually Obelisk..what i mean is ...is this suppose to be the same as the Obelisk printed in FULL BLUE card? Cus this one have stripes? please tell me if anyone see this.

OO (anonymous) - 2008/11/22 04:08

Obelisk

Well the blue card means than it can't be used in a legal duel. The brown effect card background is used to make it legal. The card art is also designed by Takahashi himself which is different from the blue one and probably the design he prefers. The stripes come from the Obelisk that Atem used when he fought Zorc.

wolfchadren - 2008/11/24 07:42

Nice

It's pretty cool that they finally bring out a playable god card. Also think that the god cards even with their full effects aren't that powerfull anymore if you compare them to cards like Dark Armed Dragon for example. Cause honestly 3 tributes and when you tribute 2 monsters you have a raigeki effect. So to use it efficient you need 5 tribute in total. Then you can attack with 4000 Attack but might have problems if your opponent has any face down spell/traps. Compared to the fact that this card will be limited probably as well then it isn't all that great anymore but nonetheless a nice card to come out.

X (anonymous) - 2008/11/25 01:34

Obelisk

Everyone has been comparing this Obelisk to the banned one. For one thing we don't even know what it's effect is. The frame of this is white because it contrasts the dark blue and black of the card.

Misc (anonymous) - 2008/12/11 13:07

FIY Obelisk is not even a real egyptian god and the name of it is the same as the japanese version of Obelisk the Tormentor in the Japanese Language the name is pronounced that way =.=

danierulynx - 2008/12/11 21:11

TCG name = Obelisk the Tormentor
OCG name = Obelisk no Kyoshinhei (Great God Soldier of Obelisk)

This is Obelisk as in one of the Sangenshin ('Three Phantom Gods'). The art-work is different simply because Takahashi felt like using new art-work (and his own, at that) rather than using the one that already exists.

YuseiFudo (anonymous) - 2008/12/15 19:43

hmm...

YWC08 Obelisk Effects are The Same Expect that When You Special Summon it , it cannot attack during the same turn.

EvilAzn - 2008/12/16 11:51

GOD OF OBELISK

Wow, this card being made will make my Shonen Jump Obelisk dud. Being able to play a GOD card like Obelisk isn't as awesome as it used to be back when this card was deemed the most powerful card in the game.

If this card had the effect, "this card is unaffected by magic, trap and monster effects" I would consider it. However, there are too many mass destruction cards out there and targeting one monster isn't as common anymore. Heck, even Creature Swap will scare me if I had Obelisk on my field.

Also, 3 sacrifices are need...
Even in casual play, monsters don't last that long on the field. So getting 3 tribute fodder will be a chore.

danierulynx - 2008/12/18 05:59

Do Giant Virus, Nimble Momonga, and Phantom Gunner not exist where you live? =O

Besides, it would be broken beyond belief if it was unaffected by ALL effects, as then it would be INVINCIBLE sans through battle, and 4000 ATK is tough to scale when you can't Shrink it or anything.

DarkKiva the 7th (anonymous) - 2008/12/18 06:20

Love the new artwork, crying like a river on the lore.

I'll find you, hopefully on Ideal or Kinokuniya.

My new year's resolution is to get the God Cards with the Alternate Artworks. Hopefully Osiris and Ra can come around next year.

the only good yugioh player (anonymous) - 2008/12/19 01:06

yo

do i here phantom chaos control here

DarkKiva the 7th (anonymous) - 2009/01/25 09:11

Tis love

I got someone to special order the magazine containing Obelisk. Kinokuniya will have it in the US by February.

I love this card. I'll wait for the others.
