Byakko | Byakko

[Daguerreo]

From the notes:

In the case of 'stop all' shields like Bone Wall and Dimensional Shield since all the damage is prevented, you would gain maximum HP equal to Byakko's attack.

It isn't OP?

[majofa]

It is powerful, but it's not OP. Wouldn't your opponent playing a card that stops all your damage be considered even more OP?

Ok but, with a phase shield, your creature increase its attack x3, so 21 and 27 atk seems few excessive.... and with bone wall, only creature... atk x7 O.O

[majofa]

Oh, I think you misread the ability. It doesn't increase Byakko's attack. Your max HP increases by the amount of Byakko's attack that is blocked.

Wooops! My apologize

I like this weapon a lot, it also give a good ability for light when facing some boring shield, where they hadn't any solution before.

Also the name remind me the manga called 'bleach' nothing to see with this ?
(I guess it was the captain of the first division who was called byakko)

Not to bash, but am I the only one who doesn't fidn this card all that impressive?
I really can't explain it though.

I'm also surprised by the overwhelming support it seems to have in the Light Crucible poll. I personally like the card, but I don't think it's amazing. In fact, I'm almost suspicious that people are voting on it purely on the basis of the art quality and other three cards (a strictly forbidden practice, might I add). That said, I think it deserves a place in the Forge anyway.

The low HP doesn't really fit the Light theme though; maybe raise its HP to 9 (nine lives!) and possibly bump up the cost slightly?

Sheesh Xeno... why so much hate?

[Xenocidius]

Hate? Far from it; I actually like the card.

I've addressed my concern for the low HP. Is there any thematic reason for it having low HP? If not, I believe it should be raised so as to fit better with the Light theme.

Also, is the ability active or passive?

Oops, thought I had that in the notes. It's there now. Thanks
