Are they going to be play able or what??? I hope they don't ....
They are like the Egyptian Gods.... If they are going to be legal to have in deck's why can't the Egyptian Gods be legel then???


Phantom Demon Emperor Ravel (the blue one)

Demon/Effect Level 10 Atk/4000 Def/4000

Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summon. Sacrifice 3 Demon sub-type monsters on your field to special summon this card. Whenever opponent summon a monster, special summon a "Phantom Token" (Dark/Demon/1/1000/1000) to your field. The tokens cannot declare attack. Once during your turn, you may sacrifice a monster on your field, this card's attack strength would be increase by the original attack of that monster until the End Phase of the turn.


Descending Thunder Emperor Hamon (the yellow one)

Thunder/Effect LV10 ATK/4000 ATK/4000

Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summon. This card can only be special summon by sending 3 face-up Continuous Magic cards from your field to Graveyard. When this card destroy an opponent's monster and it's send to Graveyard, do 1000 damages to opponent's lifepoints. When this card is on your field in face-up defense mode, this card cannot be target of attack of opponent's monster.

God Flame Emperor Uria

The effect of that Magic/Trap card cannot be activate.

Again, looking at the post count it is very possible that this member has not been following discussions. And to be fair the title of the thread you are referring to was asking about Fairies not the new gods. So he would have had to do an actual search of the forums to have found the discussion. This is an Appropriate way to answer this type of question:

All indications are that these monsters will be tournament legal. But we will have to wait for their actual release to see what the English wording will wind up being as well as whether there will be any restrictions. This has been discussed in detail on another thread which you can find here: http://www.cogonline.net/threads.13003

Now see how much more pleasant an answer that is? It is a welcoming, "Glad to see you and please get involved." Answer. Instead of an elitist sounding "If you aren't from around here why are you bothering us?" Answer.

-Edit- Oh and to answer the other questions about the Egyptian Gods it is because they don't 1) Have the same backs to the cards (though you wouldn't be able to see that due to the sleeve requirements in tournament policy), 2) Have actual effects written on the cards (which could be fixed with Errata), and 3) Because they have written on them NOT LEGAL FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY. They were never meant to be used in tournament, they have powers which are supposed to have SPECIAL requirements (such as being worthy of controlling them and knowing how to speak ancient Egyptian).

The god cards could of course be released in a toned down format and be playable (such as Card of Sanctity was). It just doesn't seem that there is any desire from Konami to do so. Even without toning them down they are not invincible, so they have been used around the kitchen table by countless duelists and will continue to do so for years to come.
 
Oh, I wasn't trying to short change the answer. I was honestly asking a real question. I was tired at the time, and my brain wasn't working, so I really and truly couldn't quite remember. His post rang a bell, but it was a very faint bell, and I was trying to get someone to clue me in. Which you inadvertently did. Thank you.

No problem. It just doesn't add much to the thread to ask that kind of question. It can be misinterpreted.
 
Well, I wasn't trying to add to the thread. I was trying to add to my post count. Huh? :D What I meant was that I was trying to add to my personal knowledge. And yeah, it can be misinterpreted. But I had been out all night (really, ALL night) with a hot chick and I... Well, my brain was tired, let's just leave it at that?
-pssvr
 
LOL. Your post count is plenty high. And congratulations on the date. (Really hot chick part, not the fact that you could get one. :) )
 
they arnt gods.

they are just cards. they are beatable the weaknesses are insanely easy to expose, but with the right deck (people already are underground working with these and exchanging decklists) can be devestating, but not enough to say that they are unbeatable.

i know AnthonyJ is working on a few decks, and I my self worked on 1, but we both came up with different variations.

possibly completly different variations.
 
They were never God Cards to begin with. They were counterparts to the God Cards, but never God Cards themselves. They are Demons or to be more precise, Emperors. They have none of the Divine-Beast protections that the Egyptian God Cards have. These cards will also have no restrictions when they are released either. That comment applies to the OCG. The TCG is a different story, no matter what Kevin Talwart says about making the game better.

They have enough restrictions in their playability already. The only card that is even worth playing would be Ravel, the Obelisk counterpart. However, you have to sacrifice a specific Type of monster which of course leads to reduce playability. The other 2 need Continuous Spell or Trap Cards to be face-up on your side of the field in order to be Special Summoned. What good Continuous Trap Cards would you Main Deck? The OCG has Trap Monsters they could use for the job, while we just got our first Trap Monster a few months ago. Uria is playable and easily counterable. Hamon's Defense Position effect is worthless. Why would you bother to keep it in Defense Position to begin with when they share the same stats? What monster is going to take down a 4000 DEF monster? A Power Bonded Cyber End Dragon would come to mind or maybe a Wicked God Dreadroot. Then comes Ravel, the useless of the bunch, but easily playable in a Fiend-Type Deck. Of course, why bother with this card when you could use Wicked God Deadroot? At least for the TCG Ravel will be a good card for our Fiend-Decks.
 
Let's not forget that Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster has that advantages and disadvantages. Drillroid is just nasty. It is a shame we got a monster like that being Main Deck more.
 
well when you get defender destroyers, card that were ments to be used like that become obsolete.

not unplayable, not "lets use for kindling", just obsolete, other things can take its space.
 
Sad part is, whenever we get Shield Crush we can pretty much rule out Defense Position Decks or monsters like Elemental Hero Rampart Gunner. It is a shame Acid Pit Trap was already obsolete when it came out in the TCG.
 
I remember asking years ago if there were any counter parts to the attribute Divine. Looks like there was or was going to be eventually. ANy idea what the attribute on these cards is?

Uh, the ones I've seen have the atribute Divine. So if these are the counterparts to the God Cards then they would have to have the proper polar opposite just like all the other attributes.
 
WHAT! Where did you see this?

the DMcomet translation i posted up has them as.

Fire - Pyro, Light - Thunder, Dark - Demon(Fiend)

why would it have devine? its a legal card, no card in yugi is Devine.
 
The english God Cards have the attribute Divine.

I'm asking what attribute these counterparts to the God Cards are.
