Dark Strike Fighter

DarkStrikeFighter-LC5D-EN-C-1E.png

 

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

 

During your Main Phase 1: You can Tribute 1 monster; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the Tributed monster's Level on the field x 200. You can only use this effect of "Dark Strike Fighter" once per turn.

 

Removes itself from the EMZ, 1400 Minimum burn, can clear out the EMZ if you re-summon it

If you can't follow up with an Extra Deck Summon, you won't want to Summon this; if you can, you may as well use the materials for this card for a Link monster instead and follow up with that Extra Deck play.

This card may be good for finishing games, but isn't good for starting them.

Huh, I remember this card being absolutely crazy back in the day as you could burn your opponent to oblivion. You could still make a OTK with this card splashed in a deck that can pendulum summon high level monsters like D/D/D's and burn your opponent for potentially 6100+ damage by tributing 3 D/D/D Doom King Armageddom, any other D/D or D/D/D monster and Dark Strike Fighter itself.

I mean, part of the reason that this isn't absolutely crazy now is because you can't do what you described. Hard OPT.

Shame, obvious degenerate OTK's are what the game needs in order to propel itself to a new era of prosperity and order. Seriously though this card pre-errata was OP asf to the point where I would say this card would still see play and be a 50+ dollar card if it never got an errata, but this is meaningless info so let's move on :p

dude wtf messed up logic is this?

 

you know what else removes DSF from your EMZ? Not summoning it in the first place. 

1400 Damage Minimum and you get your shaddoll fusion back. 

If you can't follow up with an Extra Deck Summon, you won't want to Summon this; if you can, you may as well use the materials for this card for a Link monster instead and follow up with that Extra Deck play.

This card may be good for finishing games, but isn't good for starting them.

For us, it's a swap of a fusion (el for SDF) and 1400 damage to boot

 

The only Link you want to be summoning is Radiant, which = Math+Naga

Convoluted combos to revive your Extra monsters are only going to be viable if they're built into archetype (eg D/D). Clearing out your Extra Zone for the sake of clearing out your Extra Zone will be like running Cheerful Coffin or Wonder Balloons in Infernities.

Lv 2 tuner of the deck + lv 5 is convoluted?

If you're Tributing this to remove itself from the EMZ, then you're not tributing an El Shaddoll, are you?

 

And after you Tribute this, how are you getting it back onto the field? CotH? Monsta Reborn?

 

1400 damage sucks when you could have use that monster to BEAT.

 

Sure, this card may have a spot in some decks that can Synch-7 easily, but only as a "Cowboy for game"-esque thing, not as setup for further combos.

 

Can't even Tribute Link Monsters for actually clearing your EMZ after you've filled all its Linked Zones. smh

No, but to summon it you're gonna have to use an El Shaddoll most of the time.

 

See if I want to do more than 1400 damage, I can DSF for 14, get back SDF/ESDF, then do 2600/2200/2700 respectively depending on what I have

 

Reborn is a pretty valuable card, I'd say Soul Charge or maybe Frontline.

Summon a different Synch-7???

Those values suck. You should be able to OTK.

No. Don't waste any of your god damn revive cards on a god damn DSF, unless it's gonna win you the game.

Read it again.

Convoluted combos to revive it.

Clearing your Extra Zone just for the sake of clearing it is bad. If you're doing so you should have a plan to actually make use of that Synchro in your grave. Which you don't, and which Dark Strike Fighter by and large doesn't provide, and the existence of Soul Charge and Monster Reborn doesn't help your argument given that you can use these on almost any Extra Deck monster anyways for probably better returns.

No you're right. But I'm not sure that precludes DSF from being a decent run option. The ED goes back to being a toolbox now, and having a burner might not be the worse idea over multiple cards that overlap niches 

If you can use DSF in a "Cowboy for game" manner reliably (although not being able to do it MP2 hurts a lot), then more power to you.
