You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn. You can only use the (2)nd effect of this card’s name once per Duel.
(1) You can target 1 “HERO” monster on the field; Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position, and if you do, that monster gains 300 ATK.
(2) If a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your GY, then, if you have a monster in your GY that mentions “Dark Fusion”, you can destroy 1 card on the field.

This feels like the guy on Warrior Returning Alive
Nah, that’s an Evil Token
The Vicious Claw Guy fused with an evil token.
2nd effect combos with DPE
This card is so bad it’s not even funny. They truly hate Evil Hero
What do you mean it’s a free extender ? Works well with Dystopia and Phoenix enforcer
Actually, this card is EXACTLY what Evil HERO needed.
As someone who’s played the deck extensively, their main problem is that it’s very awkward to play outside engines, since every extender that was searchable by Stratos or Shadow Mist either locked you into HERO or had some ridiculous requirement like having no hand. This solves that problem. Wanna run Fiendsmith and have access to it with a single Stratos, Vyon, or Dead-End Prison? Now you can. By the way, the Fiendsmith engine gives you both Nib protection via Caesar and full Evil HERO combo via Aerial Eater.
Maybe next time you judge a card as “bad”, actually play the deck first.
Yeah a free extender that acts as an extra piece of interaction and synergizes amazingly with the best boss monster in the HERO archetype is unplayable garbage.
This kids, is why you actually read the card before commenting about it
Broski, vicious claws is a dark fiend not light fiend. And having to put closed sky just to go into a fiendsmith combo kinda ruins the Extra deck arsenal that HERO decks have. But it still is a decent extender for evil hero.
Can’t believe they made the Equip spell (Evil claw) into an actual Evil HERO monster.
Vicious claw*
Worstchan, who talked about using Fiendsmith? As far as I’m aware, this is for Omni HERO stuff alone that most people are worried about. We aren’t talking about meta. We’re talking about in deck. If I am wrong, somebody correct me. I just don’t think turning the conversation to a different subject in order to complain is a great idea.
yeah the card is an unusable garbage to Hero players that aren’t complete imbeciles. it’s just another brick, we need cards that replace visions and destiny, we need more searchers and monster fusing cards like Cartesia with Avian and Burstinatrix as their secondary names.
The costume kinda looks like Raviel, Lord of Phantasm’s skin a little
Or Summoned Skull if he had a tail.
actually it wore the same armor as “Evil Token”, the token that was specifically summoned by the effect of the Equip Spell card, Vicious Claw in anime
Oh yeah that makes more sense. I guess more Fiends share the same body type.
Realmente parece o corpo do Raviel!
The maniacs they actually did it.
The monster from the artwork of Vicious Claw makes its debut.
This monster makes it easier within the Deck to go into the Link engine and due to its high Level can also be used for the more generic Fusions.
Second effect is solely to avoid an exploitable combo with DPE.
Really you are bringing this card out for optional Link or Fusion plays without exhausting your standard extenders, but I don’t think the Deck has enough space to make it work. So it’s okay.
More importantly there is another anime card here (slot 004) we don’t know what could be so be on the lookout.
I hope we get an Evil Hero version of Shining Flare Wingman. Especially since Flame Wingman already got 2 Evil Hero counterparts.
I been saying this for years too, I want to see a Shining Flare version of Inferno Wing. It feels strange how they keep making completely new Evil Heroes, but no upgrades to the star fusion of the deck.
We still don’t have a WATER or WIND Evil HERO fusion yet. 🙁
Trash, as always. If it wasn’t an anime deck, komoney would have made this card 10 times stronger. Anime fans need to stop buying products that are weak and lame. The reason anime archetypes are terrible is because komoney knows no matter how bad it is, anime fans will salivate over it and spend thousands, especially hero players.
“Trash, as always”. Because there’s never been a HERO card that been competitively playable in any capacity.
Yubel is an anime deck and was meta beforehand
“anime archetypes are terrible”
Let’s just ignore Salamangreat, an ANIME ARCHETYPE, being a LITERAL TIER ONE DECK.
Same @$s kissing i’m talking about. Komoney laughs at yall and you don’t even see it. Hope they keep giving you hero players trash while you lick their @nus.
kid, seek some help
It’s an anime reference like everything else from this past wave and for the most part suffices for pure Evil HERO because it’s yet another high Level Fusion material for Bane, a high ATK material for Dark Knight, and doesn’t banish itself so you can use it for Rider.
For HERO soup it’s meh with that once per duel revival effect, and even the hand extension is meaningless since the Deck has so many extenders (and good ones at that).
Isnt this like all of yugioh? Cards that aint broken is trash and cards that are broken are just right and every card that comes out(except tgc doesnt count) is an anime reference. Even its true that Konami is only looking at the money it Feels alot of chin kicking for no reason too me especially when everyone just wanna play against someone and not see someone else play yugioh solo.
lol its ONE card you goob
Sky striker enjoyer try to ragebait by using a different name
stave69 i’m not the one wasting my money on this crap now am i, anyways let’s stop this pointless conversation because delusional people don’t like to here the truth.
Its not even bad, its just mediocre. The second effect combos with DPE but why is it only once per goddamn duel?
Because konami hates hero players?
Yeah, they hate them so much they give them support every single year. Sometimes multiple times a year…
Honestly, I think it is once per duel BECAUSE of DPE.
HFIL, A WHOLW BUNCH A TRASH IS STILL TRASH
@SIGHZ They get literal custom cards every year dawg. Maybe, just maybe, decks that are far past their prime struggle to be tier 1 contenders in the current environment. Just a thought.
HFIL, 2 good (not broken just good) “Evil HERO” cards can make the deck tier 1, Komoney just won’t do it be the have a marketing strategy that you all seem to not get. They make broken cards for the meta players because they know meta players will spend thousands on it, then they make trash for anime duelist, because they know anime duelist will buy it regardless of if it’s playable or not. Komoney just taking advantage you people. The moment you anime people see a support card you start getting hyped, regardless of whether it’s good or bad. We all know its not hard to make a balanced/good card.
How do I say this…Bro there are plenty of old archetypes that get “custom card” support and it doesn’t rocket them to playability, because, as I’ve already said they are past their prime. There is only so much of a bandaid can heal. Those Meta archetypes? Aren’t meta solely cause of one card, they are a coherent strategy that is boosted by a couple cards. Hero’s get new cards every and they often read like custom cards, where in any other archetype they’d break the game, but in Heroes, they’re just okay. And this isn’t just Heroes, I’m just using them cause they are the focus. Either way, that wasn’t even my point, the person said that Konami hates Heroes, which is hard to prove when they literally get support every year. That’s what I was saying. However, the above still holds true. The only way you could make heroes meta is by either A. Give them a set of cards that are literally made to be banned or B. completely scrap it for something that goes against the archetype’s identity. No one wants either. Sorry dude, thems the options, their power has be crept. That’s how time works.
So ar least this means we aee going to have a new Arcana Force and new Luna monsters on the next pack
I am a bit ignorant on the subject, but by the looks of it they are still giving out support to some of the archetypes of Supreme Darkness. You guys think Crystron would get one in ALIN too?
I think Materiactors need it more.
@SIGHZ They get literal custom cards every year dawg. Maybe, just maybe, decks that are far past their prime struggle to be tier 1 contenders in the current environment. Just a thought.
I hate this site sometimes…
What custom cards? lol, If they had custom cards they would be tier 0. Stop talking for talking sake and start making sense. You people are so easy to fool, not wonder Komoney is so rich.
No they really wouldn’t…but y’know, keep talking down while not understanding what you’re saying…I’m sure that doesn’t make you look like an ignorant child…(cough)
should have had a 3rd effect that searches vicious claw for funnies
Fr though, especially since Virtue Stream and Stars Align of all thing are sorchable just because the artwork is related to something else.
Was surprised this thing doesn’t turn into an equip card
I love heroes but, I’m so goddamn sick of extenders. Our deck is a literal brick house and it’s just becoming a 60 card pile at this rate. Give us less extenders, less combo pieces because the ones we have are adequate. Just give us disruption, negation, something, anything,
A 10-year moratorium on printing hand vomit sounds great.
Padme: For just heroes, right?
Anakin: …
Yes! More Evil Hero support!
Still waiting for main deck Masked heroes.
Maybe this is more for pure evil heroes and not for hero soup
Nibiru laugh inside
In the ancient days when I’d watch gx episodes raw while translations would take a while to come out I assumed Vicious Claw’s damage was based on the difference between Volcanic Devil and Hammer’s attack. Finding out it was just arbitrarily 600 dmg was a whut moment. Felt like some of that text should have been split up between Evil Blast.
Equip card should’ve also been reprinted here, in addition to its artwork counterpart Mon. Nice try K-DIDDY. 🤦♀️
Sooo not getting an alternative art = Konami are pedos? Am I the only one who sees a problem with this non-logic!?
This is an ALIN card. A main set.
There’s no reprint in a main set, you dumdum.
What we need are some retrains of the og e heroes that goes into the og evil hero fusions that also makes them better to use and to play more pure if people want to go that route.
@David it’s a meme-related reference but what I’m trying to say is we’re not getting the card the monster is featured in in ADDITION to the monster itself in the same set. It’s a hocus pocus mind trick, that I just can’t wrap my head around. You give us the monster from an equip card. RERELEASE its origin too. That would’ve been more logical.
Sure, but it 100% won’t be in ALIN.
Maybe in the next Tournament Pack.
