If they're too lazy to support this card "Harpie Lady Sisters"-style (in that almost every single new Harpie cards mention it), then at least print one retrain that's actually better than its "materials".....
No. We dont want retrain versions. We want GOOD supoort for original versions! I am sick of retrained cards. Just give nice support to ORIGINAL cards (like you did to silent swordsman/magician). Give some respect to your iconic historic cards Konami fgs!
Gate Guardian Unleash
Spell card
Send from your hand or deck Sanga, Suijin, Kazejin to the gy. Special summon Gate Guardian from hand or deck ignoring summoning restriction. It gets this effect:
You can negate the activation of a card by banishing the corresponding monster from the gy:
Sanga-monster effect
Kazrjin-Spell
Suijin-Trap
Something like, low level monsters that can be treated as same name as suijin, sanga, kazejin. Spells/traps that can special summon gate guardian ignoring its summon condition with little cost. Or fusion,ritual,syncro, xyz that can search specific gate guardian material from deck/graveyard
Again! Why replace them? Give them proper support!
Gates of Labyrinth
Field
Once per turn you can special summon one of the following monsters from your deck or hand
Sanga
Suijin
Kazejin
Your opponent cant skip his battle phase and must attack with his monsters. Sanga, kazejin suijin can use their effects when they attack. If this card is removed ss a gate guardian from hand, deck or gy.
I'd rather have retrained versions of all those cards. I don't want to stuff my deck with crappy cards that are just dead draws. Give me something that allows me to draw consistently a good hand.
Gate keys
Quickplay
Discard one of the following cards. Draw 2 cards and apply one of the following effects based on the discarded card
Sanga - Banish a card on the field
Suijin - Banish a card on opponents hand
Kazejin - Banish a card on the gy
You can banish this card from gy to add a "Gate" card from you deck to your hand except "Gate Keys".
So lets also make retrained versions of dark magician, blue eyes white dragon and red eyes black dragon. After all, they are just vanilla fat monsters, right?
Very sure that's the joke. That despite the vanillas being "iconic" and "historic" like that one anon on the first few replies above says, they already gets retrained by Konami anyway.
