Sage of Guidance, Zenon
Normal Unit
Grade 1/Boost
Power: 6 000
Critical: 1
Shield: 5 000
United Sanctuary - Royal Paladin
Race: Giant
Effect:
自(Auto): When this Unit is Called to a Rear-guard Circle, and your Vanguard is a <Royal Paladin>, reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is a <Royal Paladin> with the same Grade as your Vanguard, Ride it over your Vanguard. If not, send it to the Drop Zone.
Oh, and have we mentioned that pope man is the only SP (Special Print) in Extra Booster 1?
Seriously, what?
Unless you're really lucky, what are the odds that you'll reveal the card you need?
When you're at Grade 3, it'll be great if you can reveal the card you need (e.g. Soul Saver Dragon when there's 4 Soul) but if you get a Trigger or something, it's all wasted.
The VanTroll!! team have been hard on our heads to come up with possibilities that this card could have its uses, and we thought of 2 Oracle Think Tank cards: Battle Sister Cocoa and CEO Amaterasu. These cards can check the top card, right? But the Vanguard must be an Oracle Think Tank, which goes against our dear Zenon's criteria of a Royal Paladin Vanguard.
I mean, imagine this...
You have a CEO Amaterasu as the Vanguard, you Soul Charge, check the top card, it's a Soul Saver Dragon, you Call Zenon, reveal top card, over-Ride Soul Saver Dragon, and bazaaaaaaam, your opponent goes, "WTF?!" (The Aichi's epic but useless additional sound effects: Soul Saver Dragon Holy Charging Roar! Opponent: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz =.= )
But of course, that's only possible, if there was a "If you have a <insert Clan here> Vanguard" phrase in the card effects.
Seriously, it's only useful for people with Psyqualia. Maybe this was Ren's ace card before he switched to Shadow Paladins.
Here's a VanTroll!! omake...(inspired by the otaku, The Aichi)
Ren, who was an RP user before turning evil, was on a date with Kai. Kai happened to see Extra Booster 1 on sale, so he bought a booster pack for Ren. Ren opened the pack and saw Zenon. He thought it looked hot, as hot as Kai was (or maybe Kai's hotter?), so he put it into his deck full of hot guys. And a hot dragon. And during a duel, through Psyqualia, he sensed that the next card was Soul Saver Dragon, so he Called Zenon, and through the power of the card which represented Kai's love, Rode Soul Saver, and totally KO-ed the opponent.
~The end~
(Extra from The Aichi~) Here is how the VanTroll!! team would like Bushiroad to change the card's effects to.
When this Unit is Called to a Rear-guard Circle, reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is with the same Grade as your Vanguard (not necessarily same clan), Ride it over your Vanguard. If not, return it to your deck and shuffle. If Bushiroad made the effects as such, this card will be included in A LOT of mixed decks, resulting in pure overkill... xD Can you imagine the possibilities?! If you are playing a Tsukuyomi build and you miss Grade 3, you can use this card and over ride Tsukuyomi grade 3(directly from the deck and even better if you call a Cocoa to check the top card and it just so happens to be on the top). If it is a Trigger, it won't be wasted because you can return it to the deck and shuffle.
Of course, we do realise that there's 1 possible use for this card. Other than using the card to soak up that cup of Coke/Pepsi/Milo/pee that you spilled.
For a troll deck!!
How it works: Make your opponent laugh by revealing all of those useful cards - Isolde and Triggers - or revealing a Gigantic Charger and you end up with a 9k Vanguard and you can go, "WTF!!" and you have to do another Check of the top card but at least you get a free Rear Guard in exchange :)
Remember to always have at least 4 Soul Saver Dragons to increase the chance of getting it!!
... No I'm kidding, you can only have 4.
How about going Morikawa style? A deck full of Grade 3s, then when you check the top card, chances of it being Grade 3 is really high. Worth a shot hmm? Only thing is, what if you end up Riding a shitty card?
Oh ya go stock up on Gigantic Chargers too. Remember, you can get free Rear Guards in exchange for losing 2 cards from your deck so you can deck out faster :) Oh and end up with a 9k Vanguard which can be hit more easily.
On the other hand, this card's pretty cool-looking too, don't ya think? ;)
Zenon: HOLY CHARGING BALL!!
