New Masked HERO and the Descent of God

http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/55773990/


You guys see the two fusion monsters in the pic? You know what those guys are? Do yah? Do yah??? They're the new Masked HERO :3

PP14-JP005
Masked HERO Acid
WATER/Warrior - Fusion - Effect/8/2600/2100
Manga Effect: When this card is Special Summoneddestroy all Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls. Then, all face-up monsters your opponent controls lose 300 ATK.
PP14-JP006 
Masked HERO Daian
EARTH/Warrior - Fusion - Effect/8/2800/2300
Manga Effect: If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck.

I was hoping Acid would have been a WIND so that Mask Change would have more targets (Airman and Great Tornado). Its effect is filled with awesomeness though, a walking Harpie's Feather Duster. Absolute Zero + Mask Change into Acid becomes a one sided field nuke. It's secondary effect is a little underwhelming, but makes Scrap Dragon, Scrap Archfiend, Crimson Blader, Gorz, Trishula, and anything with 2800 attack or less killable. Sadly, it falls short of some of the big guys in today's meta (Chaos Soldier - Envoy of Creation, Shooting Quasar, Grapha + Gate).

Daian is incredible. A +1 in battle just like Nova Master. Safe Zone on this guy and you'll be swarming the field in no time. Pull Airman and that's a +2. Makes Mask Change and Super Poly plays more possible. Mask Change from Gaia into Daian promises a +1 unless your opponent has a backrow or Veiler. There aren't many good targets besides Forestman and The Earth. Even then, most HERO Gate players don't run either of those but they're a shoo-in for me.

After these are released, the only Masked HERO fusion left will be Dark Law. It doesn't look like we'll be getting a LIGHT Masked HERO which is really disappointing since there have been so many times when I wished I could have Mask Changed my Another Neos, Voltech, or Shining :c

Omg finally, the last of the Gods and he is a fuckin beast. Awesome artwork. His second effect (Summon Lightning Blast!!!!!) KILLS Plants. This could take a spot in Emperors/Monarchs instead of Obelisk. I was thinking about running this in HEROs for nostalgic sake but I was worried about whether or not I could keep the hand advantage. But then I realized something: you'll only need this guy at 1000 most of the time because his effect will reduce anything with 2900 attack or less to God food. Sadly, it doesn't come with a built in protection effect like Obelisk does so simply Synchro Summoning into a Brionac or Scrap Dragon in defense (it only weakens monsters that are Summoned in attack mode) will put Osiris/Slifer in its place. Tuners like Plaguespreader, Glow-Up, T.G. Striker and Spore can easily play around this guy's effect. Nevertheless, this card is a huge improvement compared to Ra.

Gotcha~

  1. Slifer only dies at the end phase when Special Summoned.

    Puragatory Dragon is too good for Infernities. They can already get their Barriers without any problem. Summon one or two of these guys at the end of the loop and you've got the game in the bag.
