Poison of the Old Man MFC-033

Poison of the Old Man
Quick-Play Spell

Select and activate 1 of the following effects:
"¢ Increase your Life Points by 1200 points.
"¢ Inflict 800 points of Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points.

As we continue alone this week's theme, we have a bit of an underrated card here that's quite flexible for your situation. A Life Point gain of 1200 is the highest non-variable effect while the 800 damage is among the most damaging non-variable effects. So this card can save you or provide the extra damage you need for a quick kill. It also works great in Sudden Death when the 1st change of life points determines the winner. If you run either life point gaining/damaging cards in your deck, this card should be the first one you put in.

I ran this in my Saturn deck, but found Goblin Theif to be better.

And one thing-it is chainable.
ALWAYS chainable.
One of the best MST/Dust Turnado/Heavy Storm bait.

I run 3 for the Sudden Death round as you stated densetsu_x, in my side deck. One of the best cards for quick change in life points against your opponent or gaining it for the win.

Very underated. Not to mention it's quickplay, chainable in certain events.

3 of 15 cards in my side deck, next to 3 Kinetic Soldier haha.

4/5, great side deck.

One Question....Is Barrel Behind the Door chainable to it, or it poision's effect considered uncertain for the purposes of using barrel?

 

[maestro satori]

goblin theif is my preferance in my burn deck just to use with Fire Princess. other wise go with poison ! it's great mixed with Emergency Provisions.(or vodka) gain 2200 LP while their Heavy Storm is a waste. gotta love it.

I like this card. Quick-play and chainable. Great for sudden death (as others have mentioned), great in a "Fire Princess" deck or just plain burn deck, great in a "The Agent of Force - Mars," or just plain fairy/life-point gain deck. It's versatile and the fact that it gives you 2 choices of what you can do makes it that much more playable.

If you choose the "damage" effect when you activate the card, you opponent can chain "Barrel Behind the Door" so that you would take the damage instead.
