Double post!
XYZ Avenger I'm highly tempted to side this when it comes out against Dragon Rulers. Sending 7 cards from your Extra Deck to the Grave? Dayum son. Even if it is your opponent's choice its a crippling blow. Also, Swampy, you might be interested in this. |

It's not too bad. You side it in against XYZ heavy decks and suicide into the XYZ, allowing you to rend the opponent's Extra.
The problem is, using up a summon and then taking the loss of a monster and LP for something that doesn't generate immediate advantage isn't all that great. The fact that you don't get to choose what cards to send is what really hurts it.

I can easily see this blowing up in your face horribly. Konami basically preyed upon a theme deck whose fans a) were clamoring for more love, b) needed the love, and most importantly c) weren't too many in number to start with. C is important because of Konami's obvious business plan: to pump the theme deck up on Bane Juice, roiding it out for one season, making it something which casual fans and tournament players alike are going to want to go and buy boosters and singles for, ............. and then banning its sorry ass to kingdom come come the end of the season. Basically, " So basically what I'll say is: enjoy it while it lasts, o' King of the Ghostricks. Enjoy it while it lasts. And I am so, so glad that this level of overkill didn't happen to 4-Axis Fire Fist. *phew*

You know, I never thought about this. I'm just way too happy about getting decent support, but it does seem like my new friends are a little bit too good. If this is just the honey before the vinegar storm then I will be really upset because I like Ghostrick for being a surprising deck that no-one really expects until game two. Now, with such bonuses, I'm going to see them everywhere... and I might start resenting them. And I don't want to resent the first archetype I've been genuinely enjoying since Steelswarm.

I'm pretty sure Needle Worm has never been banned. It doesn't strike me as the kind of card that would be.
New Ghostrick is probably going to evolve into two different kinds of Ghostrick: swarmy Aggro Ghostrick and a more control kind of Ghostrick(we are, however, speaking relative to current Ghostrick, not aggro like Dragon Rulers are aggro). The Shinra archetype seems to have gotten its speed with the new cards, but the thing that strikes me the most is how this deck tries to seem like a better version of Lightsworn. Only milling Plant type monsters, having effects that activate when milled, the ability to recycle plants, the ability to put plants at the top of the deck to be milled. All stuff Lightsworn wanted but either got very little of (Minerva and Wulf for effects that activate when milled, Michael for recycling) or got completely shafted on. Also Mobius the Mega Monarch makes me want to cry at what Raiza and Caius the Mega Monarchs will be. And the new Bujin support isn't bad. I can definetely see Ruler of Bujin, Bujingi Peacock, and Bujingi Rabbit being used. |

It's funny how they have that "If this card is used for a tribute summon SS it blah blah blah" monster when the only engine anyone is going to use for Monarchs is Frogs.

I think I'll be looking forward to the new banlist more than Legacy of the Valiant now. Nothing really impactful came out of use to me...

Anyway, this torrent of Ghostrick love -- first September gave it three or four cards, now December gives it another four cards -- does not bode well imo for the long-term safety of the archetype. People are going to get very pissed off and Konami is going to be forced to release cards which punish the archetype or else to neuter the archetype by banning half of its engine.

I'm the same way Talon, except for Bujins and not Ghostrick. Bujins have gotten tons of support and are only in line to get more(we still haven't seen the mystery purple Bujin and Bujintei.) And their support is honestly pretty insane. Ghostricks may have their own Sirocco, but Bujins have their own Kalut. They also have their own Raigeki Break, Mystical Space Typhoon, tech recycler, and oh yeah, they search. A lot.

Ghostrick is way too fragile to really merit any hits. It's so easy to side against compared against something like, Dragon Rulers.

Not to mention they are terribly reliant on their Field Spell card, which means that any deck that can destroy it easily will easily keep them on the backfoot.
Also, Dark Simorgh.

*March sees the release of Ghostrick Big Eye and Ghostrick Dracossack* Ghostrick Big Eye says "Use any face down monsters on the field as materials for me. (Treat them as Level 2s.) Target 1 face down monster on the field: take control of it." Ghostrick Dracossack says similarly adjusted things.

Oh you.
I can definetely say that Silent Honors Ark Knight and Noblswarm Beelzebuth are going to be HUGE when this comes out and DN finally decides, "Yeah, we should add these." Especially Ark Knight. It's a VERY convenient out to Dracossack. I also want to use Dark Knight but that requires Rank-up, but for Christ's sake that card is broke.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I'm correct, you couldn't use any of the Blue Bujins stateside because they weren't released in the TCG until now correct?
That means that Bujins in tournaments have only had the yellow Bujins?

I don't know the difference between bujins. But if it wasn't released in a TCG set, it's not TCG legal.
