Errata to Justi-Break....*joy*

Dear Judges,

This is a notification of errata to the card "Justi-Break" from Cyberdark Impact.

Apparently the original Japanese text for this card was so confusing that nobody could agree on the function of the card. Japanese is unfortunately a very vague language by nature, and writing TCG card game text in Japanese can cause significant problems because TCG card text needs to be simple yet precise.

After originally deciding that the effect of "Justi-Break" worked 1 way (the way that the card was printed for English), Konami changed their minds and decided it actually works a different way. So we will errata the card.

The GOOD news is that the errata version is actually stronger than the printed version. So there?s a silver lining to all of this.


Here is the revised text:
[Activate only when your opponent declares an attack against a face-up Normal Monster on your side of the field. Destroy all monsters on the field, except face-up Attack Position Normal Monsters.]


The original wording made it more like a double-Mirror Force. The card is actually like Dark Hole, with Attack Position Normal Monsters being immune to its effect.

Yay! It's stronger and better now!

And there're STILL no normal monsters in this set... Can you say "worthless pull"? I knew you could.

 

[Digital Jedi]

Only if your drafting.

Actually, x3 of this card, and a few Elemental Hero Wildheart's can wreak havoc now....

 

[ricencracker]

well if ur going to run wildheart y not just go full out e-heros which now that i think about it that's not that bad of an idea hey thx now i can put some life back into my e-hero deck

What did Justi-Break originally say? The description "double-Mirror Force" is meaningless to me (even though it seems a better description than a "non-Normal Dark Hole", because of the response to an attack thing).

It first said that it destroyed ALL Effect Monsters in Attack Position, so if you had Effect Monsters in defense, they were safe, thus the "Double Mirror Force" effect.

Wildheart is useless with it. The attack has to be declared on a normal monster. Oops.

 

[Digital Jedi]

Who sais Wildheart had to be the one being attacked? :-:

As ricencracker's said, Justi-Break could be a nice addition to a E-Hero Deck, which we all know, are chock full of "Normal Monsters" used in E-Hero Fusion's. With Wildheart, he gets to come in after you have nuked the field of your opponents monsters, and attack without fear of Traps.

Or he can be on the field when Justi-break goes off and he'll still be on the field afterwards too.

 

[Inuyasha_Riku]

hmm..will this come in a shonen later? i could use 3 for my ehero deck.. ^_^

 

[Kyhotae]

They haven't released a Sneak Preview promo in the Shonen Jump magazine since "Ancient Lamp". I don't know for sure, but I doubt it will be in one. Sorry.

You're kidding right? They just released the Toon Dark Magician Girl.

 

[cuzwbd]

isnt there a lv 4 normal monster with 2000 atk comming in strike of neos???
patience is a big deal in japan - a year or more of releases to get a good combo is more acceptable there than here.... we want it now!....a year later e-heros are getting more & more playable....

 

[Kyhotae]

You're kidding right? They just released the Toon Dark Magician Girl.

Yeah. They did: "JUMP-EN010".

It's not the Sneak Preview Card.

 

[masterwoo0]

Yeah. They did: "JUMP-EN010".

It's not the Sneak Preview Card.

It's not listed as the Sneak Preview card, but it is still based from the Preview Card regardless (as there is no previous English release), with just a different name designation.

With all the redesignation to 4 letter/number prefix, it probably made more sense to just rename future Manga Promo's of Sneak Peek's to prevent confusion.

 

[Kyhotae]

I don't see how that makes it "SP2-EN002". If it's got a different number, it's a different card. "SOI-EN001" is "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", but the "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" in the tin is not "SOI-EN001".

It's a collector thing. It's a different card from a different series. If you want the SP cards, you're probably not gonna get them from Shonen Jump anymore.

 

[drzero7]

Wow, that's even MORE evil. It'll kill defense position Effect monster, all face-down monster, and even defense position Normal Monster. (No random 2100+DEF wall Normal monster with this I guess)

I guess you HAVE to be agressive with this card with Normal Monsters then. Yeah, E-Heros with Wildheart (immune to trap) Sparkman will shine but no Clayman wall though.
