Cybernetic Magician CRV-EN016

Cybernetic Magician
Effect Monster (Spellcaster / LIGHT / 6 Stars / ATK 2400 / DEF 1000)

Discard 1 card from your hand. The ATK of 1 face-up monster on the field becomes 2000 until the End Phase of this turn.

"¢ The effect of "Cybernetic Magician" is an Ignition Effect that targets a monster.

"¢ Since "Cybernetic Magician" makes the ATK "become" 2000, that is the new value. Even if the monster was equipped with an Equip Spell Card, the ATK is 2000 and is not adjusted, even if the Equip Spell Card is destroyed. (However, if equipped after the effect of "Cybernetic Magician" resolves, the ATK will be adjusted from the new level of 2000 points.)

"¢ If a monster is getting an ATK adjustment because of a Field Spell Card, and you use the effect of "Cybernetic Magician" on it, then its ATK becomes 2000 and is not adjusted by the Field Spell Card until the effect of "Cybernetic Magician" expires. (However, if a new Field Spell Card is activated that changes the ATK, it will adjust it from the new 2000 ATK level.)

"¢ You cannot target a monster with "Cybernetic Magician" if its ATK is already 2000 (like "Vampire Lord"). This includes monsters that have 2000 ATK because of the effect of "Cybernetic Magician".

"¢ If you target a "Raging Flame Sprite" that currently has 3100 ATK with the effect of "Cybernetic Magician", at the end of the turn its ATK will return to 3100 points, not 100.

Overall, I like this card. It has a well-qualified 2400 ATK, so it could see play as Airknight Parshath's replacement in some Chaos decks. It's also bound to see abuse via Scapegoat and Night Assailant. It's Light, which gives it support, and it's a Sepllcaster, so it's supported.

This card has insane combo possibilities. Night Assailant looping can pump every monster on your field to 2000 every turn. Cybernetic Magician + Night Assailant setup + Scapegoat = OTK. 'Nuff said.

This card has a lot going for it. 2400 ATK let's stand up to everything short of BLS-EotB. It has the traditional Monarch DEF of 1000, even though it's not a Monarch. Anyway, nice card.

The main disadvantage of this card is the obvious fact that's it's a Tribute monster, which means you have to give up increasing field presence for a turn to get him out. Not that it isn't worth it.

When playing this card, power up/drain ATK points sparingly. Do so only when needed, unless you set up Night Assailant looping. Also, be wary of Tsukuyomi. This card eats Cybernetic Magician alive.

Advanced: 4/5 Scapegoat abuse makes this card even better.
Traditional: 3/5 Not feeling it here.
Limited: 4.5/5 Take it if you see it.
Sealed Pack: 4.75/5 Trust me, this thing is brutal in Sealed.

Today's card we will be reviewing is the first of 6 cards that we will be reviewing in Cybernetic Revolution week!The card everyone seems to like, including me is the awesome Cybernetic Magician! (From now on known as Cy)

Cy's stats are above average with 2400 ATK. It's DEF is a little weaker than it's attack, making him a 1000 defender, which means he can become easy pray for Enemy Controller, Book of Moon or Tsukuyomi, BUT, partially protects him from the most commonly played removal card, Smashing Ground.

His Light attribute can only mean one thing, and i think you already know what. Also being a spellcaster type gives him strong support with the upcoming Spellcaster Structure.

His effect makes him probably the most deadliest monsters ever. If you summon him on your turn, you can take down every monster your opponent has, no matter if its Black Luster Soldier, or Ultimate Obedient Fiend.
Another advantage with Cy is that you can also increase the ATK of your monsters' to 2000, meaning you can make any Magician of Faith, Mataza the Zapper or Scapegoat a new Berserk Gorilla.
This monster just formed a new OTK deck, along with Scapegoats and Night Assailants, you can do 10400 in one battle phase.
This monster could very well be the next tribute along Jinzo, replacing the awesome Airknight Parshath.
Definetly try to mess with this guy, he's worth it.

Traditional- 3/5
Advanced- 4/5
Artwork- 4.9/5 (The wand is too small)
 
I still think Konami are not learning from their mistakes, this card can be abused as mentioned, unless this is still the translation and we might have to wait for release before we know. But ben able to abuse Night Assailant and produce 4 x 2000 atk monsters for practically no cost at all is nuts. I know people will say but you have to get cards in your hand to do the combo, but if its possible, it will happen. Would Delta Attacker help there.
 
This + Deck Destruction Virus sounds truly bruital (espically considering that only a few decks have enough 2000+ attack dark monster for it to be worth running. You could not use Night Assilant to get 4 2000 attack monsters in the same turn however, since you can't select the Night Assilant that was discarded as the target of its ability (unless of course you already have a Night Assilant in the graveyard when you discard the second).

The easiest way to stop this abuse (which Konami should try to avoid by not making cards like this in the first place) would be to restrist Night Assilant and possible Ban Deck Devesation Virus.

Also, as was alreeady mentioned, this could any face up monster on your opponet's side of the field short of Chaos Command Magician.
 
forget DDV.. how about the OTK.... your flip Scapegoats at your opponents end phase... get this guy out and turn them all into 2000 attackers... drop a Lightning Vortex and GAME OVER.... just sick... sick i say..... This card is awesome... i can totally see him getting either banned... way limited... or they will rule that he can only turn one monster per turn.... i can see something like that coming.... till then... ABUSE IT TIL YOU LOSE IT !!1 thats what i say

Isn't Night Assailant already semi-restricted to 2 and Deck Devastation Virus restricted to 1?

It's a good combo, yes, but not exceptionally easy to pull off. And unless you're returning traps, you're only using DDV once anyway.

EDIT: Oh, and Delta Attacker won't help with the Scapegoats. It specifically states on Delta Attacker that it's normal monsters that are NOT tokens.
 
Overated much? I know this thing is...it's been out for three days, and people are already overestimating it. I play-tested it at the pre-release (cconstructed vs. constructed, not limited vs. limited) and it was essentially a 2400 ATK, Tsuku-vulnarable, +500 ATK giving loser who sat there not doing much but looking cool. Night Assailant Loop or not, this guy is NOT as good as everyone is making him out to be. Tribute monsters have to have possibly game-ending efects to be used these days (Airknight, Jinzo, DMoC, sometimes Phoenix), or be in a specialized deck (Spell Canceller, Different Dimension Dragon, Horus). I can see him making a ripple (not splash mind you) in the constructed scene with a combo-goat deck, but that's it. Don't maindeck this guy in a hurry.

there's a spellcaster structure deck coming out?
 
Lily Combo

With Night Assailant going to one it stops the loop but the one thing that you forgot with the loop is a discard per monster raised. That means if you want to use it on goats then you have to have four cards in your hand. Plus anything that negates attacks like Waboku, Threating Roar, Negate Attack will make you waste your turn and hand. Too risky I think.

The best combo that you could pull off with this card is Injection Fairy Lily. Pump her up to 2000 ATK then in the damage step increase her to 5000 ATK. Thats a nice combo.
