Card Trooper Reincarnated

Even if Air Circulator has an attack of zero, it will still see play just for refreshing your hand and drawing 1 more card.

Phantom of Chaos or Elemental Hero Prismer

I think that Elemental Hero Prismer has a better chance of becoming the promo then Phantom of Chaos. Of course i'm also only guessing but he fits the description more then Phantom of Chaos does.

How could E. Hero Prismer be the promo if it's not even going to be out in Japan until after??

To show that the TCG is different then the OCG? At least that seems to be suddenly the motto in Yu-Gi-Oh with the brand new cards we get in every set and more of the OCG card being released in the TCG.
ShinobiPhoenix - 1. Nov, 19:39

How do you figure that?

The description clearly says "One copies the effects of any monster in the game." Not only is that perfectly fitting one of the only 2 monsters in the game that copy effects at all, the fact that Prismer only copies the NAME of a monster is rather outright. So where is your logic? Monster that copies effects vs Monster that only copies the name.

Prismer

Thought that Prismer also gained the effect of the monster and not only the name.

Prismer (reply)

No, it doesn't. Do your research first.

E*Hero Prismer
5 Stars
Light / Warrior
ATK 1700/ DEF 1100
EFFECT: Select 1 Fusion Material monster from your deck and send it to the Cemetery. (Then, shuffle your deck.) On this turn, treat this card as a card with the same name as that card. (This effect can only be used once per turn.)

The only difference with the true card so far is they dropped the level to 4, but the whole point to it is the ultimate Fusion SUB, because it copies the name of the Material you sent, so it's always legal. It's also something of a Foolish Burial, so it ironically works well as a partner to Phantom of Chaos as long as your setup is correct.

As off-topic as this is...

... fragments of Prismer's OCG text have been salvaged, and it appears as though he no longer DITCHES the selected Fusion Material Monster, and that you merely SELECT one from your Deck for him to copy the name of.

Anywho, yeah, it was 99.9% guaranteed to be Phantom of Chaos from the start. Plus, they're the two most recent video game strategy guide promos, so there's a pattern involved too.

i really want Vortex Trooper, cause 1 he helps Gladiator Beasts to the deck (and im working to make one of those right now) and 2, i really like his name! its sounds so cool.

ShinobiPhoenix - 22. Nov, 18:46

Phantom of Chaos... HELL YEAH!!

For once, TCGers don't have to wait for something like this. The moment I saw it in as the Book Promo, I was hoping they would continue the pattern and bring it here earlier. It's already in my top 5 favorite cards of all time. I love anything that versatile; sure you have to be smart about it since it won't do battle damage, but that just means you have to think outside the box or do burn damage combos. Plus just because it doesn't do battle damage to your opponent, doesn't mean it won't slaughter the monsters it kills in battle since his attack will go really high.

Phantom of Chaos.. wow. Yeah, he's gonna be abused in Dark decks after PHDA. ( I know this cause he's in my dark deck list. xD )

March Ban/Limited List

They better throw BOTH of those cards on there for that, ESPECIALLY Phantom of Chaos, considering that the Yubel Trinity come out in Phantom Darkness, available at the sneak preview (hopefully) of Jan. 26/27th.

Otherwise, by Mid Feb, Phantom of Chaos will TRULY be broken.

wolfchadren - 10. Dec, 14:15

Not so overpowered

The effect of Vortex Trooper isn't worth banning or limiting in my eye's. Since it only works when normal summoned. The draw effect is also nice but the 0 attack makes it balanced.
Johnist - 10. Dec, 22:49

Remember Card Trooper?

I do remember that similar thing being said about Card trooper (how the 400 Base made it balanced, along with the cost) but all these cards with "bonus draw ability" are all +1 cards, Vortex having the nice effect of IF he is Normal Summoned, you get to shuffle two back into your deck for a quick 2-card reload/mallet
wolfchadren - 10. Dec, 23:35

Don't compare

You can't compare Vortex Trooper with Card Trooper. Card Trooper could boosts it's attack to 1900 while Vortex Trooper will always remain 0. You can't OTK with Vortex Trooper at 3 only get some extra cards with Machine Duplication but then it doesn't get it's first effect. So i don't see anyway why they would limit Vortex Trooper.
