Just got the August Prize pack here at the store, and the new promo for August is Lotus Garden.

For those who havn't seen it.

3 Dif 4 Check Asset. Infinity Symbol +1 Mid block, Terrain Unique

At the end of every turn, place 1 Lotus token on this card. If this car has more Lotus tokens than either player's current vitality, destroy all foundations and assets.

So, will this be legal for worlds? Will it even make a difrence if it is?

Thoughts

LOTUS GARDEN IS LEGAL!?

You have no idea how long I've waited. I remember back when the FFG takeover took place and a bunch of promos were leaked through CSI that I wanted to break that card with, well, the un-erratable starter Abyss.

I think it's a very cool card. Considering all the stalling going on, oh my. I'd lower my own vitality to use that thing if necessary!

edit: LOL I said life points when I meant to say vitality, and activate when I meant to say use. Stupid YGO.

It....

Sucks?

Dude, that made me laugh so hard.

finally! been waiting ages for this to legal. one little question, is it 4 or 5 point shurikened? really hoping they've changed the printing so its 5 point otherwise it seems a little late in the game to release it if it will only be around for a few months.

Nifty fun deck Ive been contemplating...

Juli + Chaos Flare+ Lotus= Board COntrol

Juli +Chaos Flare + Adon's Roundhouse= Win

Its fun... talk about a glass cannon

why Adon's Roundhouse?

i was wondering the same thing........

i may have to steal this idea. removing adon's roundhouse of course

August/Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan/FEb

A massive 6 months of legality.

I herd Leona lieks dis here card.

Juli + Chaos Flare + Adons= Win

Chaos Flare loses life, Juli gives speed boost to flare, Adons gets power boost from chaos flare and its static effect gives it the same speed as Juli's pump

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. Once Chaos Flare resolves, Adon's Roundhouse will reference the previous card's (C.F.'s) printed speed. You said "static"..am I missing something? My apologies if I've mistaken your meaning. A's R. has an enhance but no static (constant), right?

A's R says speed, not printed. But I can't say if it will work or not for shizzle.

It for shizzle won't work. Once an attack resolves, all of its values revert back to printed.

So no speed pump =(

But there's always Feelings of Friendship, KFT, etc...

Man, who really needs speed pumps at that point

The board just got nuked

Have Feelings of Friendship in your pool, play a fast move, gg

1) The current block actually started in April due to delays, so we're looking at April at the earliest, and;

2) With one set every release, in order to have enough support for 5 point as there was for 4 point, it will take about 5 more releases after Tekken 6 (two for the main one, 6 other sets released two at a time every three months = 8, so far we only have 2 and Tekken 6 is 3).

The current block is something like 1300 (thanks THD), and people say IT'S stale...

this card may actualy make life matter if it is legal at worlds. what a thought.

I've been waiting for this card to become legal myself. For those that say it sucks, I'm wondering if you've thought about the MAD factor involved? It's going to be a big deterrent, and a relatively cheap way to clear the board. If they stall long enough, the board explodes. If they attack you past a certain point, the board explodes. Play a nice reversal, get their life below the counter numbers, and boom, the board explodes. The key is going to be making it so the board explodes at the end of THEIR turn I think this is going to give some nice strategy to the game.

As for deck rotation, add me to the list of people who think it's going to be pushed back. Not only for the reasons that Alex posted, but also because, with the addition of other delays, we never received quite as many sets that block as we should. Combined with the lack of new sets, it wont surprise me if they push it off until another year.
