Will they ever announce the Brilliance Sleeves to go along with this set?
Oh! they’re hyping up a new A-Z fusion monster
????????
Don’t set yourself up for disappointment
VW tiger catapult
:forever alone.
Did they… think this was a Rush card? Why’s it a reactive trap?
a reactive reckless greed??? in this economy???
and the second effect is something but it’s not nearly fbg worthy
a huge letdown honestly
This is just worse Jar of Avarice……………..
amazing card when you go first and your opponent does nothing for 3 turns in a row and you happen to hard draw it
gotta love anime support
Hahaa… Wow! This card is worthless! There is infinitely better cards we could run in the deck over this thing, such as Union Scramble or Triple Tactics Talent. This new card being searchable doesn’t save it either.
Usually the final card for each theme in a Duelist Pack is their best card in the pack, but this one is meh. A draw card is only good if you are able to use it immediately and your Deck can power through the drawbacks. This needs prior set up for an archetype that doesn’t really support Normal Trap Cards all too well. Union Controller would rather search anything else than this.
Even the GY effect, which would have been decent in any other context, only activates during your Standby Phase, so you don’t even have the flexibility that other GY Traps have.
It’s… not good.
It’s a slow, reactive Jar of Greed or two if you’re already winning. The second effect potentially allows you to refill your deck for Union Activation, but will you ever need it?
1-of at best?
I guess one can also look at it from different perspective: It’s a fodder for effects of your level 8s that then with delay also reloads your banished materials back into the deck. The first effect is irrelevant, tho drawing cards is giving you fodder for your fusions’ effects. Still, there are probably better discard fodders and the effects are still very niche and slow. Graveyard effect also has negative synergy with ABC and new XYZ fusions.
It’s kinda sad because in-theme way to replenish cards in hand during your opponent’s turn would be really nice but this is very underwhelming way to do it.
Congratulations to Konami for making a card that is universally considered bad.
Hating cards is the one and only pastime that unites the ygo people.
*Eff 1. AND THEN send cards to negate effects on the field.
Eff 2 And then fusion summon a light machine* Probably fixed.
just make more normal monsters than this
why bother making the art cool
Why are ABCrybabies so self-entitled? It’s a filler card, you already got busted support, calm down.
So much for “the last support card they reveal is always the best”. This is simply awful.
Why exclude the Level 6 Fusions? This brings my hopes of support for them down. Bad job Konami, you can do better.
Wow, this is worthless
you need to react to an opponent’s card to use the effect,
it SPECIFICALLY needs Light Machine FUSION monsters to make you draw (basically the XYZ and ABC fusions – cyber dragons too technically, but they litterally win instead of stalling),
and worse of all it has a one per turn clause, like ???
not even worth using with transaction rollback to draw a card,
you are litterally better off of playing Jar of Greed to GUARANTEE one draw
and the graveyard effect like ??? you recycle your after they banish themselves for the grind game to not deckout i guess? since the ABC fusion tribute itself to special the BANISHED monsters already, and the new XYZ fusion instead (hyper dragon cannon? the one using the remakes that were announced alongside the enemy controller-looking fusion monster too), that banishes itself too to use it’s effect
Nice. So when are we getting the quick-play spell A-to-Z Energy RE-Load? Asking for a friend.
I mean, this technically does reload you up on resources used for the union plays so uhhh, props for the name matching the effect at least?
ABC for effort, even?
This is it. THIS is what we sacrificed Ancient Fairy Dragon support for.
Waaaaaah
The purpose on this card is having more cards in your hand to discard with ABC and XYZ effect’s but it doesn’t make any sense being a reactive trap… you want thouse cards in your hand to react to your oponent’s plays sooooo if you have to wait till your opponent activates its effects you will have to wait till the effect resolves to being finally able to use ABC and XYZ effects cuz both have the discard 1 card as a cost
Excellent, drawing more cards to discard for my XYZ fusions. Not that my VWXYZ-Dragon needs to discard anything but every little bit helps, hoorah!
The arcana force jokes stopped being funny once the kids started using Union Activation to turbo the World. Future AF support will need a “you can’t skip your opponent’s turn during the turn you activate this effect.” I hope no deviant considers using Hyper Dragon Cannon to vomit some cydras.
It’s been a zany past 6 years hasn’t it? All with its ups and downs. Funny how the name of not 1 but 2 attribute packs could reference Masumi. Multi-attribute pack next year ?? As the gx character would say, c’est la vie.
I’d like a Multi-attribute pack. Preferably Raphael’s Guardian equips and maybe Fortune Lady support. Not sure what the 3rd theme would be. D/D/D for the extra deck. Or maybe @Ignister.
It reads like most Xyz support in that it does nothing to help you reach the end goal, then has an okay effect once you’ve reached your end goal and you’ve drawn it, and does almost nothing if you have it in hand and don’t reach that end goal.
These types of cards were irrelevant since their release, and the same is true now. This is disregarding the quality of the effect. This could read draw 5 and unless this is searchable by something I’m not aware of, this card would still almost never see play.
This is exactly why Konami is making games more and more unhealthy and full of toxic cards. Because of these crybabies whining over a single card!
Worse yet, it is a freaking trap card; no matter how good the effect is, people won’t play it because it is too slow, but these crybabies will still cry no matter what.
