It’s a dang Floodgate. WHY?!
Because maximum+fusion not is a good combination
So make “hey, play anime theme, if you does this, you will lost your friends:D”
People forget that Gakuto had a Floodgate since Day 1 of Rush Duels (and had an annoyingly powerful Fusion Monster)
Now, out of all Chromatographagas’s Fusion Monsters, Plasma Saber and Vapor Lancer are competing to be the best of the bunch. I feel Plasma Saber is stronger because it’s more consistent in getting its Effect.
Maximavura is so broken
I love it
Maximum supremacy
Abysslayer Maxivaruna is a bit of a Troll card in the sense that, if you’re up against a Maximum Deck, you can return some pieces that the Opponent doesn’t want and create a Brick in the Opponent’s Hand next Turn.
Abyss Vortex printed when, Konami?
And well, I gotta love Konami’s desire to give Manabu/Zwijo’s Decks more Equip Spells, but no Monster for the Deck that can reuse/recycle Equip Spells in a generic way.
Note: It seems that Plasma Saber’s Effect is poorly worded here. The actual Effect is as follows:
[CONTINUOUS EFFECT] This card gains ATK equal to [the total Levels of the face-up Level 7 or higher monsters on your opponent’s field] x 200. If you have 3 or more Pyro/Aqua/Thunder Type Maximum Monsters in your Graveyard, neither player can Special Summon non-FIRE Attribute monsters from the hand face-up.
I get it’s difficult to set up for the payoff, but I don’t get why they want to add floodgates to Rush Duels. They already had to hit the Barrier Statue.
Technically, we already had Floodgates in Rush Duels, but their number has decreased over time. The last Floodgate-focused Meta was “Skysavior + Gakuto’s Deck”, which was hit just two months after being Meta (before that, it wasn’t Meta)
Not to mention that we already had a Floodgate a few months ago: Hybridrive Screwdriver. It ended up being somewhat mediocre: Powerful effect, but the Requirement is too much (which makes the card fair)
Plasma Saber has the problem that, to play it at a good performance, you must play a combination that has evidence that it doesn’t work in Rush Duels: Maximum + Fusion.
Maxivaruna will never be printed. Just the fact it unconditionally recovers up to 2 Maximum pieces of any Maximum monster just for the opponent having a board makes it too good, but it can also reach an impressive 3300-4300 ATK on top in the Deck that runs it clearing out a board while setting up for the next turn. Plus this effect isn’t limited to the turn it is summoned, making it really impressive in every Maximum theme,
Plasma Saber also gains ATK equal to the Level of all face up Level 7+ monsters on the opponent’s field x 200, on top of its floodgate effect which is surprisingly more balanced than the ATK gain effect which is always live.
I can see why Twin Ocean Tides was the only card in this Duel to get printed. The other cards are either situationally useless or ridiculously overpowered.
In fact, it seems YGOrganization misspelled the Effect that Plasma Saber has. The corrected Effect (listed on Yugipedia) is as follows:
[CONTINUOUS EFFECT] This card gains ATK equal to [the total Levels of the face-up Level 7 or higher monsters on your opponent’s field] x 200. If you have 3 or more Pyro/Aqua/Thunder Type Maximum Monsters in your Graveyard, neither player can Special Summon non-FIRE Attribute monsters from the hand face-up.
In fact, the actual real Effect only makes Plasma Saber more powerful than it already seemed.
