Canadian Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 In the anime they have the game mechanic where you can decide whether or not you wanted to normal summon a monster in either attack or defense mode. My question is what would happen and what could be abused by this rule if it was implimented in Yugimonz today? My thoughts: It would help some cards that work best in face-up defense position but unless the card benefits from it, almost all others would just be set in face-down defense position. What do you think about this ycm? Would it change anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The only cards that immediately spring to mind would be cards with higher defense than attack, that still benefit from being face up. Stuff like Red Gadget (higher defense than attack) and Royal Magical Library (should your drawing combo fall short). Off the top of my head, I can't imagine anything being superdy duper broken.

Birkeland Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Some cards would benefit. Some would not. It varies on the person. Overall, not much would change. But let's see what the others have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Light of Intervention essentially turn it into anime rules, as even things like Golem Sentry get summoned face-up in the anime. -__- Aside from making one or two card effects redundant, nothing would change.

Canadian Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Why was the Summon or Set rule ever made than? It'd make alot of things that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Actually, ever since a few episodes into DM Season 2, nobody's Set anything ever...it would be nice if face-up Defense was possible. Would definitely be better, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 It would be a little bit better for that purple dragon whose name I forgot: [b]"Tribute this face-up Defense Position to Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monster from your hand, 1 from your Deck, and 1 from your Graveyard."[/b] ^or something like that... IDK. This rule would not have a negative effect in the game (other than making useless a couple cards that no one uses anyways) It would be fun to try.

Kaisu Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 What about flips? And that series where it's all 'When this card is Flip Summoned' and all that. The only reason that mechanic was made was because they couldn't find a graphic for face-down cards, I'm pretty sure. At least in 5D's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Tanngnjostr + Guldfaxe gives you access to level 7 synchros. That makes it slower then Instant Fusion + most tuners and the world isn't over because those two cards exist.
