Ew. Just...ew.
This one falls under that so very broad category of
"we already have better cards".
For your Tribute (or your A Legendary Ocean), you
get a 2100 (or 2300) monster that can tribute one of
two weak cards to either destroy monsters or S/Ts.
Without ALO, Cyber Dragon just suicides into it;
with ALO, it takes a Monarch or a removal card to
get rid of this thing.
The problem is it requires very specific tribute
fodder, unlike Cannon Soldier who can launch
anything. If they would make a card with the same
stats that would let you tribute/discard any one
card to destroy any one card, and NOT give it a
ridiculous summoning requirement (XYZ), it might see
some play. But that's not the case here, and this
guy blows chunks.
Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness
Level 5
2100-1000
Water-Sea Serpant
Offer 1 "Torpedo Fish" on your side of the field as
a tribute to destroy one monster on the field. Offer
1 "Cannonball Spearfish" to destroy one magic or
trap card on the field.
Here's a decent monster for those of you who run A
Legendary Ocean type decks. Orca Mega-Fortress of
Darkness becomes a 2300 attack Level 4 monster under
ALO, which isn't too bad. Not as good as some other
water monsters, but still not bad.
Now, Orca likes to be fairly destructive. By
tributing a Torpedo Fish, you can destroy one of
your opponents monsters. Furthermore, by tributing a
Cannonball Spearfish to destroy one Magic or Trap
card on the field.
That's cool that it says destroy one on the field,
so if you needed to destroy one of yours for some
reason, you could, like Dark Coffin or something...?
Too bad its one of the only ones, damn UDE/Konami
;p.
Cards like these make me sick. Its said because with
an effect like that, this card kinda has potential
it would seem, but many things are holding it back,
including its 5 star status.
If they would release one HUGE set (Say, 300 total
cards 0_o), all supporting differnt themes, such as
Rock, Sea Serpent, Dragon (Good dragon support ;/),
and Dinosaur. Maybe make good searchers, Pyramid
turtle like.
But for all the different types. That would be
awesome, and I would totally be into running a sea
serpent deck.
Sadly, the people that make Yugioh cards don't care
about the players, just the money ;[.
This is a monster that could have had potential is
the tribute monsters weren’t so sub - par, however I
do find the idea of shooting fish at the enemy
hilarious. Ones a 1000/1000 that cant be affected by
spells with an Umi on, and the other is exactly the
same.
This is a card I do like, as I’ve always had a
fixation with Killer whales, and whales in general.
I’d love to see a good deck built around this,
mother grizzly’s and ALO, not to mention Salvage.
Water decks have a lot going for them, and many
different variations. Who knows, this one might be
worth a try.
