[COTD] Mauled Captain


Recommended Posts

[spoiler=Warning Big Image]Commander.jpg

Mauled Captain

lv 1 EARTH

Warrior/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in Defense Position, but its effects are negated.

ATK/400 DEF/1200

 

This card seems decent for RANK 1/LINK-2 plays plus being EARTH helps summon Missus Radiant.

Oh...I was not expecting something like this anytime soon, but wow, this is a great card. Generic Summoning is going to be a huge thing in the future for Link Summoning, this card can just instantly make a decent LINK-2, it being EARTH and Warrior helps a lot too for Synchro Summoning.

"but its effects are negated"

 

Killed any possible use of it being playable. TRASH.

The card is fine. It's a little powercreepy, if anything, but that's just VRAINS in general, seemingly, and they've been innocuous about it.

 

It isn't astounding, but it's certainly not bad, considering Links and Synchros exist. Calling it trash because it's not broken is just greedy lol

With this logic last strix would be terrible as well, though it is the basic argument why any Raptor is reachable with 2 cards.

And this logic would also lead to the assumption that cards like junk synchron would be trash.

 

This card is completely generic and allows any deck with level 4 or monsters to quickly assemble 2 monsters to Link Summon ... not only that, it is also an earth, so it can go into the arguably best link monster revealed thus far.

The genericness of the card grants it a good chance to age rather well.

As for a (most likely) pack filler it is quite interesting.

To be fair, kinka byo's best use (draw engine with Piper) doesn't really work for this.

 

That said, it is still a super good card.the fact that it doesn't restrict use of itself or the revived monster is awesome, opening up synchro plays as well as supporting the new link mechanic.

 

I'm not going to argue with a normal summonable denglong.

>Summon Draconet to summon Bitron from your hand or deck

>Sac Bitron for Link Spider

>Brilliant for Seraphinite  

>Summon This off of Seraphinite to summon Bitron from graveyard

>Seraphinite and Spider for Missus Radiant

>Draconet and bitron for Honeybot linked to Missus

>Missus and this for decode talker linked to Honeybot

You now have 2 good monsters AND 2 free places for extra-deck monsters because of this, And is searchable by where arf thou and RotA.

Mauled->Dandy, summon Missus + 2 Tokens=>Get Either back if Missus is destroyed

 

Mauled->Witch/Sangan (needs another monster) -> Decode/Gaia -> Search another mauled

 

Secret to breaking this fella is in the grave effects

congratulations, you can list basic combos which are still pretty bad

 

first is generally worse than crane crane and the second requires outside resources

 

if you're going to revive a nearly dead topic, actually add something that doesn't take 2 seconds to think up

How long did this response take to think up?

nibbas schleeping on this being able 2 interact with CYVERSE GADGET which is dumpable by brilliant, works both ways as long as the other is in grave

 

as far as revives go, it's kinda weak. You get a token off the summon, which just kinda goes into the main use of this card of "You revive stuff that floats when it's used as a material". Not a bad use, but it's not going to be very good so long as the game remains in this "Normal Summon decks are bad" phase.

ayy but in this case u already conserve a normal summon due to brilliant and you have a feasible way to dump a piece without giving up a turn of set up beforehand like Dandylion. go nutso and lets u summon ferret in the same turn

If reading correctly, basically just means that unlike Dandylion/etc applications where you're made to run dead draw engine pieces, Mauled Captain/Cyberse Gadget interaction just means that they both are live in hand with each other.

 

Also, just checked to make sure, but Mauled Captain is also live with itself so that's convenient.

 

Brilliant Fusion application mainly notable because you can take Seraphinite out of your Extra Zone by turning it into Missus Radiant, which leaves you with Cyberse Gadget as another material for w/e applications. Or of course Link 3 but Decode Talker ain't gonna cut it soon nuff methinks
