Atypical-Abbie Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 What a cute card, its name is a reference to highlander Decks. It's probably meant to be used along with the Twilightsworn stuff I suppose. Interesting that it specially wants each monster to have a different name, so it's not like some cards that you can still have multiple copies of in there.

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 And it's good for what it does too. It's basically a non targetting Drancia that mills. Sounds like a lot of fun for playing in locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Funnily enough one can play 2 copies in a "highlander" deck, without worrying about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairytale Snow & Chaos Mills for Cost, so you can chain FTS to wipe out duplicates Enjoy Waifu while she's at 3 Also you can mill regardless. One thing to note, the initial condition is that all the monsters have different names. Not 5 diff, and duplicates beyond that. If you have 6, they need to be 6 different ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, looks like a toy for Twightsworns, Snow Lightsworns, or pretty much anything with Snow + heavy mills. Could it also work in Infernoids? IDK how annoying its Level 8 can be. A trick I can see with this card is that, if from the mill you end up with copies of a monster in the grave, since it's a cost you get the chance of chaining Snow to banish them, making the removal effect live.

Tinkerer Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is this a one-off or another new theme? I'd love to see them play around with making cards specifically for highlander-type decks. Also I really dig that artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 That's pretty cool. I hope Hydralanders become a thing and we get singleton decks being a thing. Seems like that could be fun. C'mon Konami, give us our "When this card is Summoned: If every card in your deck has a different name, your LP becomes 8000." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly love this card because it shows that Konami is capable of making cards designed for different formats and ways of playing the game. I hope they release some cards designed for Pegasus Challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah but you can't due to the rules of Highlander. Never stated you could. You do not need to tell ME how to play Highlander decks ... jokes aside, all I stated the card tries to enforce specific measures (snow) or to play a highlander deck around it, meaning it excludes itself.

It's not highlander if you break that rule, then it's something else. It's just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BGMCANN0N Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Some parts of this guys artwork vaguely reminds me of a lot Ally of Justice card arts. Any how you could possibly go really unorthodox and run a minimal amount monsters with different names to fulfill the name Summoning condition, and run S/T (say Paleozoics?) to make his effect constantly live. May not be the smoothest route, but yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~~ Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ah, so just to confirm, the summoning condition doesn't require that you have no duplicates, only the destruction effect? And I'm guessing that you can't activate the destruction effect if you already have duplicate monsters in the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Highlander Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 umm...Kinda looks like you did state you could. I used quotation markers to reflect this card suggesting it would be a highlander deck (if you can always use it without further thought) and in fact it is almost true, from the perspective of the card itself (and thus excluding itself) it is indeed true.

You mean like a deck like "Hydralander Lightsworns", not an actual Highlander deck. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am talking about the deck this card suggests, not the deck using the blind spots. This card obviously suggests a Highlander deck (to think I have to say this), only that I talked about the card being the spectator of the highlander deck and it itself thus not being in its own line of sight.

And I'm guessing that you can't activate the destruction effect if you already have duplicate monsters in the grave. That should be the case unless the text was mistranslated. And AFAIK in that case you should still be able to activate the effect, but it won't destroy anything. Guess it's useful just for the mill. Also yeah, forgot to remark that the artwork is really nice. If it's part of a Highlander-ish archetype of DARK/Machine monsters, that would be cool.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hydralander is pretty clearly the model name of this machine, so if it is an archetype, it would probably be Shadowlite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hydralander is pretty clearly the model name of this machine, so if it is an archetype, it would probably be Shadowlite. Yeah, or maybe the full "Orbital Shadowlite Weapon", which most likely TCG will end up butchering into a 1 or 2-word archetype name :v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With very few exceptions, TCG names have been really do good. Like, Zoodiac is actually clever as funk. Simple, but clever.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 yeah, the translator said shadowlite to differentiate it from satellite cannon (falcon) since they are written in hiragana (or whichever Japanese characters are the syllabic for foreign words) while this uses the actual words that more/less mean "evil orbiting satellite" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
