| Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the End Phase, it loses 800 ATK, but is unaffected by the effects of other Spell/Trap Cards. |
Random Rulings:
1.This card targets.
2.You can use this card in the Damage Step.
3.You can use this card on a monster with less than 800 ATK and make him 0 ATK with protection from spells and traps.
Explanation:
Fist is clear enough.
Second is because during the damage step you can activate only cards that change ATK values and Counter Traps.
Third doesn't need explanations.
Fast close look, then to the real review:
Quick-Play Spell, quick-play is surely the best kind of spell card, probably even better of trap cards.
Activable in damage step, less counterable and more versatile.
As always, being a spell card, it's hard to write more in the close look, however, let'sgo to the real review.
Forbidden Lance is a card of the forbidden brigade (Forbidden Chalice, Forbidden Lance and Forbidden Garment. UPDATE: Dueling Days did a post about the entire trio, however I was planning on reviewing this card and had the review written from the last week, so I posted it however).
All of the cards from the forbidden brigade have a thing in common, they modify the ATK while doing some modifies to the monster, making possible to use their effect during damage step. For example, forbidden chalice on snowman eater.
Returning on our card, why am I reviewing this? It's a great card, it initially shined in GBs, lowers opponent's monsters ATK to destroy them with GBs or protect them from nasty spells/traps.
However this card gradually took place in lots of decks. Actually I'm playing this in madolches, basically the same thing of GBs, protect them both from attacks and spells/traps, not bad.
Still, this card became played in lots of places for the second effect mainly, protect some monsters from Bottomless in no matter the deck, on dollka to protect his summon, can stop nasty dimensional prisons or fiendish chains.
However, this card wouldn't have been played if it hadn't the other lowering-ATK effect, I believe. Yeah, it would've been way more broken for some decks, but wouldn't have seen play in other decks that needed that loss of ATK. Just consider again GBs and Madolches, it would have been bad for them. But consider Rabbit Laggia, yeah, happiness wouldn't stop so easily.
Back again to the real card, since you can use it against opponent's monster that wouldn't just result in a loss of 800 points of ATK and spell/trap invulnerability. Just consider I faced a vylon deck, he went into a giant monster, photon thrasher while I had Tiara without chateau. Thrasher itself wasn't enough, so he summoned cube, synchroed into sigma, equipped from the hand double mage power, vylon segment (protection from my set down, just in case it was a d-prison/mirror force), vylon material and while he attacked he equipped with sigma's effect another mage power. The ATK was 1800+2500+2500+2500+600=9900, I had 6000 LPs, it would have been enough.
When I activated lance on his sigma I was like "Sorry, I didn't intend to hurt your feelings", LOL.
It was game since he had only 700 LPs left. Well, rage quit before admitting defeat.
This card is basically used because of its versatility as I said, so it's not intended for closed-minded persons. You should always consider all of the situations while playing with or against this. When you're against GBs, consider always the half of your monster's ATK via shrink or 800 ATK less via forbidden lance, but don't forget that your monster could be affected with other S/Ts and that could make your maths go crazy.
Just consider all of the conditions of the field while using this. That's what you need to know while playing. I know this could seem obvious, but lots of peoples I know lost games because of that.
Example: My friend had lance face-down and shura, few in hand that didn't matter and 4000 lps. While opponent had hanzo and super-transformation setted (know because he searched that having no hand and then set) and 2100 lps.
Opponent used super-transformation on his turn, my friend used lance on his shura, opponent tribued then his hanzo and went into Jurrac Guaiba, attacked shura and went into laggia, subsequently won game because he stopped my friend's main move.
Of course my friend said that it was bad luck, I stopped him and said what he did wrongly.
He could have done Lance on hanzo, making him tribute his shura and going into random guaiba that couldn't have done nothing, at least going into Utopia/Maestroke after attacking. Then summon blizzard, revive Shura, go into brio, discard 2, attack and win.
Of course he said "Oh, I didn't think about it", with a Poker Face. He lost an online tournament for that, with real prizes. If he won that game he would have taken a set of tour guides and sangan (not that sangan costs something, but it's to make it effective and play-ready).
Well, this was all for today, hope you enjoyed it, since the card is one I like a lot.
Some anticipations: Madolches (tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll post a build of it), working on some random decks, and some ninja things. I've already decided the card for the next cotw, I believe you'll like it.
Stay Tuned.
