It's effect is actually soft once per turn. As long as you can brought this card back to the field after being destroyed or leaves the field with any kind of removal, you can activate the effect again during the same turn.
This card good against Gaia and Harpie but the ATK is still lower than those two. I play this card in magician girls deck and use blustering winds to buff this to 3400/2900 for 2 turns just to make sure doesn't get destroyed easily.
Sadly there are many, many bad decks in general being played. Cards like this punish noob decks hard. I don’t know why I worry about noobs, guess they’ll have to figure it out themselves.
Applies to every single one of your SHS monsters who battle, not caring if attacking or being attacked, is permanent, doesn’t target, doesn’t destroy.
Holy Guard Heavy Samurais?
The fact it's an earth tuner makes synchro summoning Goyo Guardian so easy in any decks that uses level 4 monsters, 2800 attack at lv 6 and steals opponent's monsters is still OP as it was before Goyo had errata when it was generic synchro before only EARTH tuner restriction
No, he wasn't. He was cool pre-cyber dragon. When Cyber Dragon came around Vampire Lord was just too much effort for something that would get rekt by a special summonable 2100 beater.
It doesn't have good enough targets. Malicious Bane is pretty much the only reason the Adusted Gold pack is worth it on HERO decks in the TCG, and the fact that people started to drop it in favor of Destiny Hero Phoenix Enforcer should tell you that not even Malicious Bane is that good anymore
If you don't have bow ceal, you can replace it with R card named "defender intersect" and put 1 crystal seer to add extra draw and make sure that card is not placed at the bottom because it's trap. You can also use stop defense but it's target and Gong has flutist.
I won't say it weak but rather inconsistent.
There is a time when I win 12 match in a row in KOG with good hand, but sometimes you end up with only spell / ritual monster
Pre-preparation of rites, or even a frickin manju would be a blessing.
All the @@@ combos already involved more than 4 cards. Everytime people summon this can cer you will find more than 3 monsters in grave in 1 turn. @@@ abuser @@@
Unless the card said otherwise, monster effect only valid on the field while face-up. You could say that activation condition overwrite the basic ruling on how the effect monster works.
