A Word on Aporia · 7:15pm May 31st, 2013
I've got a surprise for you guys.
Aporia will, throughout Dueling is Magic! Many Futures, feature numerous and varied strategies involving the Meklords. For each deck, I'll be creating additional Meklord cards, including the presumed missing pieces of the anime Meklord Emperors. What does this mean, exactly?
It means this.
Skiel Top 3
Skiel Top 5
Skiel Guard 3
Skiel Guard 5
Wisel Top 5
Wisel Guard 5
Wisel Carrier 3
Wisel Carrier 5
Granel Top 3
Granel Attack 3 (effect was never shown)
Granel Attack 5
Granel Guard 5
Granel Carrier 3
Granel Carrier 5
What's more, each one of these will follow the same pattern of ATK/DEF increase that the other parts had. So a Meklord Emperor with all four parts from a single series will be immensely powerful, both in attack strength and in effect repertoire. Well, Granel won't get the boost because his ATK is determined by Life Points... but anyway, they'll be huge.
I also plan on creating two more Meklord Army soldiers for each of the three Emperors.
The new Skiel Parts cards will debut in the next duel. Look forward to it, folks!
As if the anime Meklords weren't overpowered enough as it is.
You'd be surprised. Granted, Skiel was probably better in its anime form, but the individual pieces gimmick was actually a glaring weakness that Team 5D's exploited on numerous occasions.
1123958 Hmm, touche. But why go to such trouble when it's clear that even with that weakness they were still crazy powerful with what was shown, especailly Granal and Astro Mekanical.
1125811 I don't understand the question. If you're asking why I would make these cards, the answer is simple: We never saw full upgrades of some of the pieces, and I would have loved to see that. I also decided that a fully-powered Meklord Emperor would be much more terrifying and that it would provide for some great conflicts.
1126095 Makes sence to me, can't wait to see them in action.
Though, I do wonder how Twi and Leo will deal with them. Twilight shouldn't have to much of a problem since her deck can use Edymion in place of her synchros, come to think of it does she still have Surpeme Arcanite Magician?
As for Leo, well he'll be pretty much screwed as far as I can tell.
1126182 Well, the duel has already been outlined and I'm in the process of writing the next chapter. You'll see how it goes.
1126195 Can't wait.
