Zextra Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The card is absolutely epic; it's so fun to pull of in Crystal Beasts. Anyways, can't wait for its TCG release. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I really love her art. :D She also seems fairly good in decks that run field spells like Divine Wind.dek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementuo Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I want it to come out so I can play it in Spellbooks. Not that they need it at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The original one wasn't a DARK, was it? Either way, the effect is too good for a generic Synchro imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Really good in Harpies if you want to play Gale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judαs Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Whoever named it "Faerie"? Aren't the japanese names same? I like this card, but never got a chance to play it :( The other Fairy Dragon or Black Rose always seemed like a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Eh, I didn't want to use "Ancient Fairy Dragon" for the name, and Faerie's still the name they use on DN, so that's what I made the proxy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Whoever named it "Faerie"? Aren't the japanese names same? No. Ancient Fairy Dragon is Ancient Fairy Dragon in Japan. Ancient Faerie Dragon is Fairy Dragon - Ancient in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judαs Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 No. Ancient Fairy Dragon is Ancient Fairy Dragon in Japan. Ancient Faerie Dragon is Fairy Dragon - Ancient in Japan. Still, is "Faerie" confirmed? it sounds kinda... lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Still, is "Faerie" confirmed? it sounds kinda... lame I quite like the name, actually - it's no worse than "Fairy", honestly. And they're pretty much the same thing, so I see nothing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Isn't "Faerie" a really old word for "fairy"? Like you see it in older settings? It doesn't really matter to me. Card looks decent enough, it just depends on whether you run enough Fields to make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Fascist Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Whoever named it "Faerie"? Aren't the japanese names same? Ancient Fairy Dragon: エンシェント・フェアリー・ドラゴン Fairy Dragon - Ancient: 妖精竜 エンシェント Although I know nothing about Japanese, I'm just going off what was written on the card. So no, their names aren't the same. Anyway, I like this, as well as MDPT, both of them have their niche uses although FDA is definately the better of the two. Also, the primary reason I run Dragunity Darkspear in my Harpies. It provides a good out to a lot of stuff, can draw you cards, and is level 7 for Exceed plays with Harpie's Pet Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanism Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I had no idea this existed but it could work magic in Crystal Beasts if you can find a nice level 3 tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanism Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Oh Birdman a really good choice. He can combo well with Pegasus to reuse the effect like Eagle failed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cute Rotten Yoshika Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 birdman also opens up better rank 3 plays than just relying on carbuncle and tortoise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcanism Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 And it could work with the current rank 3 plays to open Leviair plays into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelancerRaiko Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 The original one wasn't a DARK, was it? Either way, the effect is too good for a generic Synchro imo The reason for this is because this is the manga counterpart. You see in Manga, instead of "Signer Dragons" there are "Duel Dragons", which on a whole are basically meant for destruction. Even though Yusei's new Radiance is Light, it still was made to even have a darker, or rather more aggressive, appeal to it. Even their effects reflect this, where Stardust Dragon was about taking one for the team and sacrificing itself, Radiance was about protecting itself from both battle and card effect, especially with the Manga effect being permanently lasting throughout the turn (wish it had that in real life). Isn't "Faerie" a really old word for "fairy"? Like you see it in older settings? It doesn't really matter to me. Card looks decent enough, it just depends on whether you run enough Fields to make it worthwhile. This too I can answer, and the answer is basically the same reason. You see, while they are pretty much tied together they are often portrayed in a different way. Fairies were portrayed as being innocent or helpful being, often associated with light. Faeries were another counterpart that exists in the same vein but portrayed in a much more darker sense, such as things like changelings who kidnap babies in their sleep and replace the babies. The differences are also reflected in the cards. Fairy Dragon being of light and protection, while Faerie Dragon basically being brutal and aggressive. Hoped you guys enjoyed the fun facts :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
