Orochi | Orochi [Legacy - Armory]

That 10 damage gap that makes it 'close.'  I'll address this later.

Anyways, I only deducted 3 due to card cost.  I even note that I am disregarding the playing cost of the sacrifices.  This is mainly because after a while, if you use Orochi, you're undoubtedly going to be able to set up a system where you don't have to pay as much.  At least in card cost, at least.

Also, methinks you made the wrong assumption with the sacrifices.  Orochi already is in-element with Gemfinder, which, along with providing sacrifices, will also help pay back the cost of Orochi.  In a straightforward set up, I fail to see why Gemfinders would not be the chosen sacrifice for Orochi, as you have chosen Photon in yours.

The playing cost was balanced according to how I believe people could abuse it.  I saw potential for abuse, so I raised the cost.

Missed that Gemfinders xD
And I also missed Minor Phoenixes
Perhaps I am quite a blind lol

btw what abusing do you mean? You mean sacrificing AM'd creature or something like that?

I meant your balance was in respect of 'any' creature.  Mine was in respect in the cheapest form of fodder available.

Sooo... you pay 7 or 8 so that you can deal damage to yourself. Once you are done hurting yourself, you can begin to lay waste to your own army just so that you don't get killed by your own creature. Seems legit.

I'm personally of the opinion that this car is a bit on the underpowered side...Too close to Stone Dragon, with the very scary potential to basically backfire on you. Yeergh~But I guess it balances out for having such high attack and defensive powers put together...
Do you have to sacrifice for EVERY Orochi, or just the one meal for them all?

[skyironsword]

^ Every. Which is ridiculous. How about upping the attack to 100

[Zaealix]

My issue is that Stone Dragon's too similar to this guy in cost. Plus, he's kind of annoying to use, since he eats your other critters, or hits you, as opposed to costing slightly more and hitting a bit harder, in exchange for slightly less durability.
I feel like the potential to end up hoisting yourself on this petard of a card just makes it too dangerous and risky, especially since in  is pretty well off as far as far as creature bashers go, as far as I can tell.

The idea looks good, hope we'll try it in game. I think you have to precise that you can't sacrifice oroshi to itself...

Feed it malignant cells. It won't mind.

^That's really smart, but I still feel like everyone would rather use a dragon.

Orochi & Gravity Shield ftw!

Orochi & Gravity Shield ftw!

Yet it does not attack your opponent either

I know. I just suggest Gravy Shield as a reliable way to defend yourself from Orochi in case you have no creature to sacrifice. Furthermore, and have a great amount of synergies, making this combo ever better.
