Playing some other kinds of card games.

Vision Hero Trinity

Can be easily used in Hero decks to dump 3 quick heroes via Future Fusion.

Really useful especially for Miracle Fusion/Dark Calling.

Of course, Elixir or God Neos can be used to similar purposes, but V Hero Trinity is by far more flexible.


Oh. And you think it managed to dodge the English eratta by being a fusion monster?

Think again. Hero's Bond thinks differently.


And on the subject of God Neos, yes, it can copy this guy's triple attack effect, given that God Neos was fusion summoned(Miracle Fusion). A triple attacking 3000 ATK guy after a triple attacking 5000 ATK guy is painful.

Thats all for today.

G-Ray Out.

V Hero Trinity

First things first: No you cannot use Miracle Fusion to summon him. Should be obvious, but apparently some people need clarification on these simple things.

V Hero Trinity is the second fusion that uses the general HERO, alongside Absolute Zero, giving it a heap of versatility, right?

Wrong. By being a fusion of three monster, it loses a lot of its power. What made Absolute Zero and the other elemental heroes good was its ability to fuse with only two monsters: One on your field, and one on the opponents(hopefully).

Alas, three monsters on the field that are heroes arent easy to come by.

However, even if you did get out this 5000ATK triple attacker, getting past monsters isnt quite enough. Similarly to Neos Knight, it lost a big chunk of its potential broken'ness to the inability to give the opponent a strong direct attack.

So is this just a bigger Neos Knight?

To be honest, Id stick with Neos Knight. Miracle Fusion schenanigans.

Of course, without the ability to direct attack, Trinity would pretty much be the defining factor in a whole new breed of OTKs.

Just imagine: Cyclone/Trunade -> Polymerization -> Trinity -> 5000ATK X3.

Perhaps the inability to direct attack was too strong a blow to make this balanced?

What do you think. How could Trinity have been balanced?

Thats all for today.

Dragunity Arms Laevatiin... again

Laevateinn is a name of a weapon from Norse mythology. Exactly what it is is still unknown. Some legends say its a Rod, a stick, a spear, a sword, or even an axe(no joke). It literally means "Magic Stick that fixes Harm"(Yeah. an AXE.) It was owned/is owned by the giant Sult, and is said to be the one that destroys Yggdrasil when the world comes to an end.

And apparently it only has 2600 ATK. Good luck blowing up the world with that.
Also, the illustration shows him carrying swords. Swords that are sticks, but not at the same time.

Dragunity Arms Mistilteinn has a less amazing story.

The origin of the word comes from Norse mythology. Mistilteinn means "mistletoe" in Norse. In the legend, it was the only thing that could harm a certain god, so Loki made a stick out of mistletoe to kill Baldur. Hence, it bears the name "Magic evil stick that kills gods".

Yeah.

Dragunity Aclys

An Aclys is a type of spear used originally by the Romans. In latin, it means "Little Spear of Death", a more shorter but accurate version of the more commonly used/romanticized versions of roman spears. Eventually, the word came to refer to many more spears than it was supposed to.

For those who do not know, each Dragunity monster is named after a polearm(Stick with a blade on it).

However, the Dragunity Knights are named after legendary spears and polearms, either used by gods, by heroes, or by heroes after being stolen by gods to slay said gods.

Draguntiy Arms looks like a let down to this theme, though... They've degraded to naming them after STICKS. Legendary sticks, yes, but STICKS.

Thats all for today.

Even more Fusion Monsters!

Explosive Beast Volkanon - Level 6 Fusion Monster/Earth/Machine/2300ATK/1600 DEF.
Unknown text.

V Hero Trinity - Level 8(9?10?) Fusion Monster/Dark(?)/Warrior/2500ATK/2000DEF
Unknown text.


Ah well. its good to see that Synchro Fusionist can at least pull out some NEW and usuable Fusion cards.

Shooting Star Dragon

If you can turn a synchro monster into a Tuner monster(Gaia Knight + Natural Tune), and have a Level 4 monster whoes name was changed to Stardust Dragon(Phantom of Chaos), you can synchro summon this guy.

Both the Synchro materials can be summoned back via all sorts of Synchro Monster revival(Wicked Reborn and Lost star descent comes to mind)

If you activate the first effect, you have the potential to end the game, but do keep in mind that if you hit 0 tuners, you cannot attack with Shooting Star Dragon

By the way, Formula Synchron CAN be revived by Synchron Explorer.

Thats all for today.

Neos Knight

In Neos Beat decks, utilizing 1 Future fusion, 1 Cross Porter, and 1 Aqua Dolphin(also your regular Grand Mole) allows you to have fun plays utilizing Neos Knight to dump Cross Porter and a Neos, leading right to Miracle Fusion for Zero or other plays

Thats all for today.

Tuning

Add 1 Synchron tuner from your deck to your hand. Then, send the top card of your deck to your graveyard.

Thoughts:

Just broken stuff. Obviously everyones favorite targets will be Junk Synchron and Quickdraw Synchron, followed closely by the single Drill Synchron in Synchron beatdown decks.

Some people might overlook it, but you cannot search Synchron Explorer with this card. That means no 1 card SEARCHABLE Natural Beast for you.

The mill isnt much especially when you look at things such as Arms Hole and stuff that the world has previously seen.

Synchron Beat decks will definately take a bigger chunk of the metagame. Also, this means that Nitro Warrior prices will/might increase(not that they were anywhere near considerable before).

Also the best friend for quickdraw dandyspam deck? I think not. The 2/3 Copies of Quickdraw dont quite justify so many copies. 1 at most, and 2 is pushing it, not to mention most of the time you'll be milling off Quickdraws too...

On a completely unrelated note, Nitro Warrior can take down Quickdraw decks rather easily, for those who have yet to notice.

Oh and by the way, makes an excellent addition to Future Overload OTK.deck.

Dragunity Arms Laevatiin again

Cyberdark parts can easily be summoned, and can pick up a dragunity from the graveyard, allowing you to summon Laevatiin without losing much advantage.

Thats all for today.
