BT17 Spoilers and Discussion

Pardon the double post, but I forgot to mention that the next card of the day is going to reveal this Legion:



Can't wait.

[Beryl]

That Legion's the boss that Aichi's supposed to be using based on the opening, right? Excited as hell.

Robin Knight is just...good lord.

And thank god for Babysaurus. Tachis needed a way to set up their optimal field efficiently, and that sure is a way to do it.

The wait is finally over, Link Joker fans!



For those who don't remember Astro Reaper:

Star-vader, Astro Reaper
G2/Link Joker/Cyber Golem/Power 9000/Shield 5000
AUTO [R]: [Soul Blast 1] When this unit's attack hits a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, look at five cards from the top of your deck, search for up to one card with the same name as a unit in your V, reveal it to your opponent, put it into your hand, and put the rest on the bottom of your deck in any order.

Now feast your eyes on this!

Star-vader, Dark Zodiac
G3/Link Joker/Cyber Golem/Power 11000
ACT [V]: Legion 20000 "Star-vader, Astro Reaper"
AUTO [V]: [Counter Blast 1] When this unit performs Legion, you may pay the cost. If you do, all of your opponent's locked cards do not unlock during your opponent's next end phase.
ACT [V]: [Choose a card from your hand with the same name as a unit on V, and discard it] Choose a rear-guard in your opponent's front and back row, and lock them. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn.

Oh my god it's so beautiful! *sniff*

Was talking about this with Peng, and it's basically the card Hafnium was looking to partner up with.

A lot of people on the Wikia are thinking that the on-legion omega lock is underwhelming and I don't really get it. You can lock stuff after activating omega lock and it still counts because it doesn't specify board state. Anything locked after the skill will stay locked an extra turn.

So from there you ride Hafnium, and with the new starter, overall, for a discard and CB2, your opponent has 4 units still locked during this turn, so both your RG columns get +10k to them when Hafnium initially swings. How the hell is that underwhelming, Wikia? *shakes head*

[Siulzen]

Yeah there's a lot of potential for setup thanks to this guy keeping the cards locked for an additional turn.

And doing triangle locks for no CB (Photon!) is amazing, even if it is a Persona Blast of sorts.

[Lucius]

hmm thats not a bad Card but it bothers me that the skill only works when performing Legion. oh well gotta have some limiter for it we would have a new broken Card.

[Siulzen]

Early box openings happened and now the entire set has been spoiled.

The wikia has already added everything, so out of convenience I'll just link to the BT17 page:

http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Booster_Set_17:_Blazing_Perdition


Probably my favorite set in a long time. Outside of the obvious reason of course.

[Meruem]

love hate relationship for me, some good cards like Prominence Core, Vortex and LJ legions but AqF and GB are pretty mediocre =( well, all cards are out officially with good quality pics in the wikia, i hope the game is updated soon! can't wait to add Law Trumpeter and Coronagal to my Liberator deck *-*
