Theinen the Great Sphinx | Deck and Rulings

Anonymous
This guy only looks powerful in Pyramid of Light movie (Pyramid of Light as added effect of negating God cards presence which is not even in the new pack's description). When it comes to duel links, good luck in getting it out. Everything fails to ECON take and SRH and those wall traps, and oh jolly floodgate.

Well its not like there aren't plenty backrow halting cards in DL right now & the simple fact that PvP is legit NOT everything.

Otherwise, you MAY have been right.

storm combo with wild tornado and pyramid. pay 500 effect could play well with destiny draw

I tried with storm and wild tornado, my storm destroys my pyramid + wild tornado, banishes both Andro and Teleia, still cannot special summon Theinen.

Was it in your hand or deck? If in Deck, then you'd have to select your deck to Special Summon it. Note it says "You can", meaning its not automatic and, for a monster that's in your deck, you have to force the activation.

Other examples: RE Metal Dragon, Metal Zoa

Its in my freaking hand bro, and it doesn't even lit up and I can't do jack with it.

Well I haven't taken the chance to try him out yet. So look up the card effects online to confirm how2summon & if it keeps happening, file a error/glitch report.

I managed to summon this Theinen guy but it meant destroying Andro and Teleia with a card other than Pyramid of Light (as that just banishes them). I went with Thunder Crash, works like a charm. Only actual glitch is attempting to special summon from the deck - but from the hand it works fine. Though for the record, an activation DOES pop up asking if you'd like to summon Theinen.

Oh I understand, so it means Destroy Andro and Teleia, not banish, so storming Pyramid will not work as speed method to summon Theinen. Guess Fire King Island it is then.

Ah ok, good to know & looks like I guessed FKIsland correctly. All very good to know, too bad we don't have Torrential Tribute...yet, lol.

gl w/ your decks~

If I may: this morning's game notes confirm there is a glitch with the card, but only when trying to summon from the deck. Guessing next maintenance is to fix that & other things.

Hmmmm, they do note that. Then it may have been part of the glitch that is....hopefully fixed tonight as they are trying super hard to get the KC Cup going again.

no you don't, have you ever heard of Spell Speed? Metal Zoa and Metal Dragon are ignition effects, meaning that you have to activate themselves when the conditions are met. Theinen is a Trigger Effect, which is Spell Speed 2; hence "WHEN they are destroyed". It should prompt you to activate it.

Oh wow, we have a SMARTASS over here... _(/-_-)_/

Now now, there's no need for that Anon. However Risebell, using a card name, I did clearly state before that I've yet to test the Sphinx cards myself (and still haven't knowing the glitches/errors) so your little comment is easily seen as completely unnecessary & sorta stupid.

Are you sure you aren't stupid as well? You haven't tried it yet but you talk like a great 🔥 here. So no, you are the better idiot here.

I'm gonna leave ya at "If you think so" and be done with this thread. We already confirm the glitches & just waiting on a fix. Everything else is needless.

i hope they add "When there is divine-beast monster is on the field while you activing this card, banish it" cuz egyptian gods is a divine-beast type card

Naa, if you destroy Pyramid of Light, it banishes the sphinxes for Thienen. There are combos for destroying your spell for the cost of a trap on your field to get Thienen out. Has to either be a glitch or they nerfed it mang.
Anoymous
Perfect combo is andro with great maju...6000 attack and you can attack when sp.sum. also works miracles with sphinx and wild nature release cause it gets 3000 attack for evry spell...meaning 9000+2500=11500 better farming than slypher...

It's because there's tyre extra step of choosing your opponents cards to destroy which misses the trigger effect of Theinen. Try oops instead. Works guaranteed. Only if both Sphinxes are summoned the same way before they're destroyed. A special summoned and a normal summoned sphinx destroyed by POL effect will also not trigger the special summon.

Use oops! Guaranteed to trigger the effect unless you normal summoned one of the 2 Sphinxes.
