Sweet!

arcana - 18. Sep, 10:10

go arcana monsters

YamiJoey - 18. Aug, 22:16

Oh great ¬_¬

Oh great, Gandora. Because that's not a totally broken card. ¬_¬

Light Ruler is nice though. Get it's heads effect and you have gotten one hell of a broken card. You can get one attack through with it and it's practically paid for itself.

Question?

Whos Gandora?

Dragon King - 19. Aug, 02:38

Gandora the Dragon of Destruction!! Type-Dragon/Effect ATTRIBUTE-Dark LEVEL-8 ATK/DEF-0/0

this card cannot be Special Summoned. You can pay half of your Life Points to remove from play all cards on the field except this card. For every card that is removed by this effect, this card gains 300 ATK. This card is sent to the Graveyard at the End Phase of the turn it was Summoned.

I've waited so long for him to come to the U.S!!

Forrenz - 19. Aug, 06:34

That's all?

That's "broken"??
Wow, YamiJoey must shake in his boots when his opponent plays 'Kuriboh'!
Gandora still needs Tributes or 'Mausoleum of the Emperor' to actually get onto the field, and even then it can be blown away by 'Torrential Tribute' and even 'Herald of Orange Light'.
So "broken"? Yeah, right.

leonaxium - 19. Aug, 06:44

Gandora's a good card, when you think about it, it's broken in the sense that you can clear the field, but not so broken in the whole idea that it is so easily stopped, also in the fact that you do have to tribute two monsters to normal summon it. Yeah, I can clear the field and have my Gandora gain 1500 ATK at the cost of half my life only for it to get booked face down and removed by it's own effect. If your opponent doesn't have an answer and has commited cards to the field, Gandora can clear the way, but only gaining 300 ATK for each card won't be enough to push for game. So, in order to be really broken, you need a follow up with a play to push for over 6500 on average and can only be special summons. So, good effect, but not good at the same time. Great, but it's no DAD or JD, or even Demise.

TriforceMaster3000 - 19. Aug, 05:34

YES YES YES!!!

Gandora! Yes! Finally! I can't wait to get him. I've been waiting for this bad boy for quite some time.

Light Ruler is cool that they're releasing now instead of later, since Arcanas just came out not too long ago. I won't be using it though. I can probably get something good off my friend for it though...

leonaxium - 19. Aug, 06:30

Sweet!

We finally get Gandora in the TCG. Even though it's five to six whole months away, I can think up sime crazy Gandora OTK. Too bad it takes a lot of cards to make Gandora strong. It's good we're getting the Light Ruler but, it's bad we're getting him a half year after the release of his kind and seems a bit too late. He should've been a Secret in Light of Destruction. At least we're getting these cards at all lol.

Dragon King - 19. Aug, 15:32

....................

I guess Forrenz is right.he may not be all that. I've been waiting so long for he to come,i guess i could not see just how out dated he is now. But,I love dragon types so much!!! And he looks SOOOO COOL!!!

WAIT,ISN'T THEIR CARDS THAT COME BACK AFTER THEY ARE REMOVED OF THE GAME!!!! LIKE D.D. Survivor!!!
Now that i think about it,Their cards that get strong from cards out of play!!!

arcana force 1 the magician - 19. Aug, 17:36

Most Arcana monsters are below 1500 ATK,So Shining Angel may work out for you.

Great Shogun Shine - 19. Aug, 20:49

That is too much monsters! You'll never win with a deck like that! And sorry to burst your bubble but Premature Burial is going to be banned and Cyber Dragon is going to be limited! And I have prove go to this website:

Now I remember Gandora! I saw that card on that last yugioh show 2 years ago!

hamsterworld - 19. Aug, 21:58

reShonen Jump magazine,

cool.:)

arcana force 1 the magician - 19. Aug, 23:54

THANK U MAGIKARP FOR THE ADVICE I WILL TAKE IT AND TO GREAT SHOGUN SHINE BUT SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE BUT THATS THE OCG BAN LIST AND NOT FOR THE UDE IN THE U.S. BECAUSE I AM FROM ROCHESTER N.Y. ANYONE ELSE HERE FROM ROCHESTER?

Great Shogun Shine - 20. Aug, 19:49

I know that stupid!

I already know that the OCG list stupid! I knew it before u put this stupid comment!

Dragon King - 22. Aug, 01:28

I was born in Long Island N.Y,In a place called Babylon.
I moved when i was 6,To G.A in a town called Homer now.

sonic_slicer - 20. Aug, 00:48

You know.....

If Gandora didn't have the "destroy" part and just said "remove all cards on the field (except this card) from play.....it would be alot better because it would get around Stardust dragon

boingboing1 - 20. Aug, 04:06

Gandora is no Big Deal and People Stop Spamming!!!!!!!

Gandora is a good card undeniably but in a format when apart from Zombies, decks don't rely on field presence for example; Glad Beasts are only tagging in and out constantly and Lightsworn will keep their main cards in their hand for a final push with Judgment Dragon.

Also, a lot of old cards like Solemn, Neno Mane King and newer ones like Rainbow Life screw this card over with Solemn being main decked in Lightsworn and in some Glad Beast Decks and with Neno Mane's and Rainbow Life's being sided against decks with cards like this or decks like Magical Explosion OTK!!!!!!!

P.S - People stop putting up decklists and items not regarding these 2 Promos!!!!!!!

boingboing1 - 20. Aug, 04:12

P.P.S - U.D.E have a written contract agreeing that the ban list stay the same except the TCG and OCG Exclusives so the ban list is the same for TCG minus the fact that Test Tiger is a TCG Exclusive at the moment in time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragon King - 20. Aug, 04:23

Sorry............ :(

arcana force 1 the magician - 20. Aug, 18:46

boing boing1

U CANT TELL ME WAT 2 DO BOING BOING. I WILL DO WHATEVER I WANT TO DO. SO SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! PLUS GANDORA IS A GREAT CARD I COULD BEAT U WITH IT ANY DAY

Dragon King - 20. Aug, 19:59

I'm Done, I get rid of my list............:(

No more Card lists. I just wanted some feed back on some of my decks.

Forrenz - 20. Aug, 21:59

Try more appropriate forums

If that's what you want, just go to Pojo or something. High-level players actually go there so you may get some better help...

ForteDS - 21. Aug, 00:30

Light Ruler = Light and Darkness Dragon?

.........Wow. I bet this will make a lot more people respect Light Ruler. But, yeah, the first effect is awesome. Reuse Monster Reborn for the win!

Air Force - 21. Aug, 01:27

JUST GANDORA???

WTF
just gandora?
no "gandora, the D. Dragon"?
could UDE have not thought of a better name?
hopefully, its just that other half of the name is still not confirmed or something or else i WILL cry

Dragon King - 21. Aug, 02:09

It could be worst!! As Long as it's not call Pretty Fairy Dragon of Love,I really don't care what a cards name is!! LOL ;D
But ya, GANDORA-Dragon of Destruction Would be alot better.
The way UDE Works,the first name is not to far from the truth. {:P

By the way,is it me or does Gandora sound like something from a Godzilla Movie?

Forrenz - 28. Aug, 17:26

We don't have a pic yet...

We don't quite know for sure if 'Gandora' will just be called "Gandora", so don't worry. However, if that's all that it was called in the English dub of the show (Little Yugi VS Bakura, Yugi VS Atem), then it may just be so. (I haven't seen it yet in English, only in Shonen Jump)

arcana force 1 the magician - 21. Aug, 22:44

boing boing1 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY TO GET OFF TOPIC AND THE STRONG WORDS BUT WATS UR PROBLEM BOING BOING. SAYIN STUFF ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE(COMMENTS ON THIS PAGE AND ON THE BAN AND FORBIDDEN LIST COMMENTS 4 AND 8.) U HAVE BEEN TERRIBALE TO ME, DRAGON KING, AND HAMSTERWORLD. U R ARE NOT EVEN WORTH MY SPIT UR TRASH. ALSO " FOCK U MOTHER FOCKER" AND GO SUK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragon King - 22. Aug, 01:14

Thank you....
I was hopeing for someone to say something about that.
I never said anything bad about any one on this site. And out of no where,peolpe start saying Real hateful things about stuff.
I am Greatful For what you said.
I'm to nice to say things like that. LOL

arcana force 1 the magician - 22. Aug, 21:12

THANK U FOR THE COMMENT AND BOING BOING IS PROBLEY CRYIN TO HIS FUGLY MOTHER SINCE HE HASENT COMMENTED HERE IN SO LONG.

cybergx - 28. Aug, 21:27

Hey, I'm not trying to be rude here or anything, so don't take this the wrong way. I'm not defending anybody, so don't say I'm with boing. I'm not, and I'm totally against flaming.

You do know that you should stay on topic, right? I thought we were talking about Gandora, not about a deck. I know you want help, and there are real jerk offs on the Internet, but you'd get more help from a forum. You could consider it spam if you went off topic.

I know there aren't any rules to what to post here, but you'd get more help asking somewhere else. People are here to discuss about the new stuff.

(Oh, by the way, could you please take off the caps lock? It kinda hurts my eyes to read comments in all caps. Sorry.)

Forrenz - 15. Oct, 22:59

Dang straight, cybergx!

But, I think we're REALLY supposed to talk about Light Ruler too, especially when we get him first. I Still can't figure out a decent way to bring him out when Tokens are out of the picture...

Zelda 264 - 1. Sep, 01:28

???

what exactly is this magazine? and where can you get it?

RainbowNeos - 1. Sep, 03:21

Finally

With gandora u can kick out Judgment Dragon and D.A.D with his effect even though Dark Armed Return is now very screwed with the semi limiting of himself and and disk commander being forbidden

Yubelfan2190 - 25. Oct, 09:47

Arcana Force EX - The light ruler's awesome potential and weaknesses.

Arcana Force Ex - The Light Ruler heads effect is awesome. I bet you it will be limited or banned because of its first effect. Mirror Force, solemn judgment, JD, DAD, necroface, ccv, mb, charge of the light brigade can be reused and more. it's devastating and it's like a more flexible then DMOC, it can still be blown off by soul taker or lightning vortex if it's heads. . tails and it's like a stronger arcana force 0 - the fool but still vulnerable but Dark armed dragon can't destroy it by its effect. When special summoned it's like gambling on the result of the duel. if you get tails, your opponent can target it alot and it's gone 2 0 ATK before you know it and if it's in attack mode, you're gonna feel pain. Also, you can't target it either so it hurts in some ways. If it's heads and you summoned it in defense mode, that's 1 turn reusing a card of potential blown off and it can be gone by your next turn. Use Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force and magic Cylinder to protect it. Just hope you don't encounter ultimate ancient gear golem with cyber bond and limiter removal...that is called real pain beecause magic cylinder and mirror force are useless, i've encountered it. 3 Tributes are alot but so it is a big weakness unless you can swarm well. demise will destroy it to. overall it is a great card but it can be limited or banned:( I want to use it in my arcana force deck, they're fun

Fyga - 27. Oct, 04:47

Getting too situational.

Ex will never even get close to being semi-limited.

Getting it on the field depends on 3 monsters (no tokens, unlike Plasma they must reach the Grave). After that it's 3 for 1 w/ feeble effects.

Heads is the lesser effect, it's bad. It's assuming you're playing someone that bad to let you retain 3 monsters, summon Ex, & attack. If not, you'll get 1 turn -maybe 2- then it should be gone. It's not flexible at all compared to DMoC, which gets recycled &/or played parts in First-Turn Kill decks.

Tails is the better effect, but that's saying little. It forces cards from the opponent, however you used 3 in the first place to summon it (more to protect it), so unless your opponent dishes out 3+ cards to let you break even you just wasted your cards. Common targeting cards, War Chariot, Honest, Judgment, Torrential, Mirror, etc. & you've got a card as good as Hamon. Have enough Solemns to stop that? Mirror/Cylinder won't help b/c once its ATK is down it's worthless, why protect it?

I'm not saying it's useless (b/c even Hamon is cool), but you should analyze a card's potential outside of fandom & in actual play, where it's nowhere near decent enough to be limited.

Forrenz - 18. Nov, 08:07

Re: It's "Tails" effect

Like with LaDD, 'Reverse Trap' both lets you re-use its effect many times while almost doubling it's original ATK.

CrimsonAngel001 - 18. Nov, 15:28

Good in zombies or swarmers

I personally, feel he could be a final cut the heart card in zombie decks or other swarm decks. But cold wave might be a good window opener to dealing with old & new threats such as mind over matter or its plant counterpart, and yes i know those could counter cold wave but hey either way its gone. Broken, so so, DAD is better but for us who can't get him this is a nice fun toy. Minus the fact he gets a open hit to your opponent.
