Unlike my "other" topics. This isn't "rating" topic. (I can't rate it yet. Too many "unknowns") This is a discussion topic about these two cards.
I mean, it's a kickass effect I agree, and definately opens up a new deck theme, but IS it meta material? I mean, we still don't see a Dark World Deck hitting the top 8 of Shonen Jump Championship yet. At most, people just splash a random Goldd. (Goldd, might be meta material, but the overall Dark World theme isn't just yet) It's a good card, but the concept still isn't "top tier" yet.
And don't get me wrong. These cards makes Return from the Different Dimension literally broken as crap. (It's like Bazoo + Chaos + Strike Ninja on crack field) So I know it's "good". But then we also said the same thing about Dark World. (ZOMG, my foe can't use Reapers or Donnys anymore!)
There's alot of talk about this card, but is it good enough to put someone on the Top 8?
But before that, which is better? Macro Cosmos or Dimension Fissure? Well, similar but there are some difference. For one thing, Macro Cosmos lets you special summon Helios from deck or hand. It's good that you get a free summon but the fact that Helios kinda sucks is not. (Only 100xATK/DEF per monsters removed? Bah)The thing that people go nuts over Macro over Fussure is the support card Grand Convergence. Now, THAT is definately a kickass card as it's pretty much a Dark Hole on crack. But still, the fact that you can only activate while Macro Cosmos is on the field is a minus. I mean, it can be a dead card for quite awhile, along with potentially one of the worst top-deck card ever. (especially if your foe decided to throw in all of their Dust Tornados and Mobius that they side-decks)
There's some other minus. Since it removes from play EVERYTHING, you also lose spells and traps. This means you cannot use MoF or Mask of Darkness too well, or just forget it and not add it to your deck. (Although making those cards dead on your foe is a nice thing) Since Macro Cosmos removes from play instead of the graveyard, you also can't use Sangan or any searchers or graveyard effects like Newdoria. (But again, you also make those cards "dead" on the foe as well) Of course, the lack of Sangan + Searchers or other graveyard effects also applies to Dimension Fissure.
There are those issues. And Dimension Fissure, only removes from play monsters, you can still run MoF or Mask.
Also, Macro Cosmos is a trap. Meaning Jinzo and Royal Decree can stop that. (Jinzo was annoying already) While Dimension Fissure is a Spell. And almost nobody plays Spell Canceller and Imperial Order is banned so that's not a prob.
But at the same thing, Macro Cosmos mass removal makes some of the more "forgotten" cards playable.
Chaos End
This MIGHT be a good alternative to Grand Convergence. Sure it's not quick-play and yeah, it doesn't bust sheeps or other tokens, (Who cares about 300LP damage IMO) but Since Macro Cosmos removes from play way too many cards, Chaos End won't make it a potential dead card unlike Grand Convergence while you don't have Macro Cosmos on the field. So what if it's not quick-play, we all loved Dark Hole and it's pretty much the same thing as Dark Hole minus sheep busting. (But who in the right mind EVER activated Dark Hole while there were only sheeps on the foe's field anyway?)
Gren Maju Da Eiza
There is Golden Homunculus or Helios Duo Megistus, but both are level 6. (Even if you can special summon Duo if you have Primordial in your field) Instead of those, how about Gren Maju Da Eiza. This card counts everything that's removed from play and it boost 400xATK for each, which his alot better then any of those. (Duo also only counts monsters. And while Golden Homun counts all cards like Eiza and also starts with 1500ATK from the start, it's still a tribute monster) And it's only level 3. You might say Duo's 2nd effect of special summoning + 300ATK boost itself is better, but it have to hit the graveyard. While Macro Cosmos is out, it'll go to removed from play isntead of the graveyard and thus it won't be special summoned after being destroyed as a result of battle. (Funny huh. It's kinda counteracts with the original purpose of the deck.)
So, which you think is better. The "Originally planned" Macro + Grand + Helios deck? Or Dimension Fissure deck? Or Macro + other cards. (like the stuff I mentioned) deck.
And what other good cards make a good support for then the cards I mentioned?
And I already know about D.D Scout Plane and D.D. Survivor being abusive in this theme. (3x of those two monsters will probably be a staple in a Macro or Fissure deck) I mean, those two will both be like Treeborn Frog on crack literally. The frog is only 100ATK/DEF. But Scout is 800ATK and Survivor is freaking 1800ATK that you literally can free tribute for, and unlike frog, you can have as many s/t on your field and still get them back to your field as long as you had Macro or Fissure on your field while tributing them. (Making a Monarch deck with those would be a interesting twist to Monarch control) Forget the tribute part, the Scouts and Survivor can suicide attack pretty much anything. Saku? Mirror Force? Torrential? Bah, they'll all come back and my end phase anyway so who cares. Even IF my foe beats them up as a result of battle, they'll STILL come back to my field. Heck, I can nuke my field with Grand Convergence or Chaos End while I got nothing but Scouts and Survivors and they'll still all come back at my end phase. It's sick really.
