Not bad but feels kinda win-more
it’s not win-more if you didn’t have a wincon before. also the card is insane
When your win-con relies on everything going perfectly for you, yes, it’s win-more.
With this it might finally be more than a side engine.
@earewr
It is good within the context valmonica, but it is even harder to summon than the original links. I know the new support added more consistency, but it still has issues
Good to see vaalmonica got a decent boss monster buts it’s Towers condition is harder to achieve then Expurrely noir. 6 resonance counters!?
But then again it’s a link-2 so it isn’t too hard to get to field. (But neither was Noir). Hmm
While it’s towers ain’t gonna last long, it’s special summon negate may be useful.
Correction, it’s harder to summon cuz the links needed are hard to summon.
LETS GO!!!!
so a boss monster
Level 4 monster, or monster CARD? Big difference.
Soft OTP summon negate is kinda nuts to think about.
How about that momento fusion monster that got shown too
Another new memento fusion got shown?! I love that archetype and bought it on release (despite how bad it was).
I went through the stream, no new Memento fusion monster got shown…
I’m sorry I doubted you! It’s real! It was in the same Infinite Forbidden commercial, but the text is too small to make out (hence no YGOrg post).
Four cards were leaked. Three in the commercial and one on the Japanese website before it was removed.
Only the Vaalmonica Link was uploaded to Ygorganization.
The others are the aforementioned Tecuhtlica Fusion upgrade, an Ash Blossom Trap clone you can activate from the hand, and a generic Trap featuring the Ojama Trio.
the extra attack effect is driving me nuts. Like 4 monsters? I am getting at most 2 attacks (extralink + all the zones filled is only 7 come on). Could have been cool to have extra attacks every 3 monsters.
A soft once per turn on that summon negate and a potential Towers, but somewhat difficult to summon.
This isn’t what the Deck needed, but I am glad the third Main Deck Vaalmonica finally has her Link upgrade.
No orange or grape soda, just negate.
Meanwhile, Vanquish Soul and Nouvelles are still waiting for their third card.
Valmonica and Centurion got a first wave with far less cards than Vanquish Soul and Nouvelles. Still that leaves Nouvelle, Vanqiush Soul and Vaalmonica with 14 cards each so they should get 1 more since most DBP decks end up on 15-16. Centurion only has 12 so expecting 2 more.
Pretty good, it provides the standard I:P + Zebufera setup an even better option to go into.
Still would’ve liked a set vaalmonica trap from deck monster to go with it since the two traps are both insane interruption pieces and it would reinforce the excellent snowballing capabilities of the deck. But at 14 cards there’s room for 1 more (Though Vanquish soul and Nouvellez are only at 14 cards… so it could be one of those situations) .
Should you go into this over Zebufera tho?
I think unless you already know your match up, Zeb’s copy effect seems a lot more safe and versatile than special summon negate.
Tower effect is okay, but 3k atk will just dies to anything.
IP might be a good way to bring it out after you resolve Zeb I guess.
