Maeriberii Haan Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Oh, so Sophia is Lilith, and Qliphoth are the Angels? Tool's amazing. The rest is pretty intriguing. Though, it's sad that they can't work that well with older Machine support. They'd get some spell support tho, so let's wait for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Looking up Tierra programming, their theme is pretty hilarious. Programs in a Tierra system compete with each other for CPU power and memory space, which is why they're all Pendulums, as all of them compete for the Pendulum Zone. Plus, by being NSed without tribute they sacrifice processing power as they compete, hence becoming weaker. Tierra programs can also gain co-dependence with other programs, so that's why they get their effects off when tributed for another Qliphoth. All in all, a clever little theme. And it was said once, but I'll say it also: Tool is amaze. Also, if these guys relate to Sophia and run on programming, this may mean that the DT universe is all one big computer program, hence why Sophia can so easily re-format the world.

Maeriberii Haan Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Updated Qliphoth's effects: Their immunity to monster effects are active if they're normal summoned, not special summoned. Org has just updated their translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Fixed that in the OP, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey guys guys remember those Monarch Supports that requires you to have no Extra Deck? Remember Return of the Monarch and how these guys have 2400/1000 or 2800/1000? Remember the good Monarch supports, like Storm Forth and Escalation? Remember the Pendulum Salvage? Noticed that the longer Tool is face-up on the field, you'll get a pseudo Treeborn? Remember that Pendulum Summon laughs at Midrash? Yeah. They're gonna be good. Return and the no-extra monarch support kind of conflicts at them being Pendulums, but they're still neat options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Looking at them statistically, and by their effects: Qliphoth Monarchs are going to be a very possible deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong, but is Shell's rocking an AT Field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Also, if these guys relate to Sophia and run on programming, this may mean that the DT universe is all one big computer program, hence why Sophia can so easily re-format the world. That would explain this. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Terminal_World These things look an awful lot like the Vylons.... Hm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 These... Honestly look quite good. Like, the idea behind these is using Pendulum Summons to make Tribute Fodder, and then hilarity ensues from that-Hey guys, Tool has Summoner's Art going for it.remember those Monarch Supports that requires you to have no Extra Deck?But if any of these are destroyed, however, they go the Extra Deck O,o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm guessing that the Shadolls are going to possess one of these programs. Tool is just amazing on so many levels. Konami finally realized that Pendulum Normal monsters are better than Pendulum Effect monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Has anyone else noticed how they have the Pendulum Scales on their bodies? Also, I like the theme. Executable computer programs on a macro scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Middle finger to Fire Hand. There's a pun there but since you have to Tribute or Pendulum Summon before they block Moralltach they don't really deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dom- Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Has anyone else noticed how they have the Pendulum Scales on their bodies? Also, I like the theme. Executable computer programs on a macro scale. Some other Pendulum monsters so far seem to have some red/blue orbs or scales on them somewhere: odd eyes has the orbs on his body, these do, and one of the DD cards. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delibirb Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I like the idea behind these a lot, flavor and play wise. I especially am intrigued by their implied connection to Sophia. Excited to test these out, and yeah, it does appear they are practically begging to use monarch support. (Note: I'm on mobile right now. As far as I know, computer still won't let me post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overfrost! Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Aside from whimsical, anyone have any idea what these are supposed to be based on? Appearance wise, I mean. These: Shell, Genome, Disk, Archive. Tool is most probably based on general computer utilities. Appearance wise: Shell resembles an actual shell; Genome resembles a DNA or something like that; Disk resembles a disc. Archive is a mother ship? Tool is a tool-like/small ship? Both 'If this card is Tributed:' monsters are level 6, and might find a use in gishki (for slow gishkis, perhaps). Wiki says that Archive's last effect return target to hand. Which one is right?

evilfusion Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 These things look hilarious. I'm loving Tool's flavor text. And finally, we learned that Pendulum Scales can go up to 9 (or higher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Crouton Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I can't think of a reason to Tribute Summon these when I can just Pendulum Summon 10000+ damage. We'll probably get the reason when the busted support comes out in the set after NECH to push I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-The-Light-Civilization to Tier 0.

Canopy Star - Eon Sphere Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I like the idea of Pendulum Summoning the Level 6s, Tributing both for a Level 8, then either Summoning 2 more via Disk or attacking twice by using Shell. The sad thing is I can see people cutting the Level 8s just to use the Level 6s as better Hieratics with added Pendulum. Even though they're immune to ARK, Big Eye, Castel, Hands, Steel Scorpion, Brionac, Moralltach... That Level 5 Vanilla though... we need more of whatever that is. Searchable by Odd-Eyes & Summoner's Art, then acts as a once per turn Stratos, meaning it's a 1 card 1-9 Pendulum Scale. Definitely trying them out on YGOPro when they are up.

I'd not run Shell, but Disk if fine by me, specially because it helps gathering fodder for its own Tribute Summon (if you run extra copies of it).
