Was expecting this card to be printed at some point.
Did they forget to add the condition that it’s treated as “Cyber Dragon” while in the Graveyard? The original card has that, but it’s not printed on the Rush version? Man…
Rush doesn’t have continuous effects in the GY
I’m pretty sure Rush has no effects in GY or hand overall except for few special summon conditions.
Rush has plenty of cards that change their name in the graveyard. The cyber dragons you’d think would don’t seem to though for whatever reason.
You two clearly don’t know this game. There are many cards that have a Condition before their effects, many of them treat themselves as another card while in the Graveyard. In fact, in this very Structure Deck, Cyber Dragon Zwei has just that.
To prevent Nachster from generating too much advantage with Processor, Entry, and Search
There are a few cases. Cyber Dragon Zwei changes its name in the GY, so do Harpie Lady Sisters [L] and [R].
Now rokete is useful, summon nachster, discard rokete, summon the descarted rokete
It’s funny that they removed its “Cyber Dragon” Effect in the GY.
However, the funny thing is that it’s not one of the Super Rare promos that the Structure always has (so we have a Monster that could change everything)
In any case, this Monster opens up synergy with existing Rush’s Cyber Dragon cards.
Each Structure always contains cards that aren’t in the promotional pack released alongside it, but it is possible Nachster is counted among the seven like Cara was.
Now i notice, Nachter summon most of the fusions, noice
There are a handful of mechanics differences between Nachster in both formats.
First, Nachster is not treated as CyDra in the GY, and for the field, it is only treated as CyDra for the rest of the turn. This is to prevent abuse with Entry, Processor, and Search, all of whom revive CyDra. And permanent field change effects are attached only to Continuous Effect monsters in Rush.
Second, Nachster does not have a built in Special Summon since it is redundant in Rush.
Third, because the built in summon effect is not on the Rush card, the discard is instead attached to the revival.
Fourth, Nachster does not lock you into Machines for the rest of the turn. CyDra is already a Machine heavy Deck so Konami didn’t see the need.
And fifth, Nachster’s requirement and effect don’t have a HOPT. This is most shocking at all, since I assume the GY name omission was because of the potential Nachster would have with the Deck’s extenders, but it would be fine if Nachster had a HOPT. This is likely because of the monster discard to activate it.
Overall, a great card. Nachster revives CyDra while name changing into it for Fusion material. It can also revive Twin, Rakete (who can also name change), Tactical, and Rush.
Anyway I like how most of the new cards in here are legacy imports that support the Fusions while the other Deck’s cards are mostly Fusions that support the Main Deck monsters. Nice contrast.
I always find it as unneeded word bulk in either game of Yugioh to say [When this card is Normal or Special Summoned.] when they could instead just say “When this card is Summoned.” Because besides adding extra text, all it does is stop any flip activation… and what would be the point in avoiding that? Rush doesn’t have flip effects, so by default it isn’t something they need to remind you about, and in the normal Yugioh game there is no need to exclude it in general, because it isn’t as if it would make many decks far better.
The origin comes from the Japanese version, where “Normal Summon/Set” is collectively referred to as 通常召喚 (“Normal Summon”), while “Normal Summon” itself is referred to as only 召喚 (“Summon”). When a portion of text refers to a monster being Summoned, the wording is fully specified by the three forms.
