guardian angel joan: ioc 087

as you can see, my favorite card is guardian angel joan. the card reads:

When this card destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, increase your Life Points by an amount equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster.

this is the card that i love. it is a great tool to increase your lifepoints, especially if you equip her with something like mav. nuzzler, or another equip card.

thanks for looking.

actually Cestus of Dagla would be a better equipt for her

Why equip her with "Cestus of Dagla" ? She already has the effect of increasing life points. Unless she would get double the increase? Is that possible?
 
i think so, they don't both rely on damage, one relies on destruction, the other on damage, so they would both work

Cestus of Dagla increases the lifepoints based on the battle damage done by the fairy, guardian angel joan increases life points based on the attack of the destroyed monster.

Also Cestus of Dagla effect occurs during "apply damage" of the damge step
Guardian Angel Joan's effect occurs during the "Send to the Graveyard" part damge calculation

from what i am reading from Cestus of Dagla, you would get double the lifepoints?

if i am wrong, someone please correct me. thanks.
 
guardian angel joan is a recommended card for most fairy decks. 2800 ATK is awesome, and the effect is astounding.

now, lets clear up the confusion here with an example:

Player A has Guardian Angel Joan on the field equipped with Cestus of Dagla. Player B has one monster face down. Now, lets say Player A Activates a card that switches that face down monster into face up attack mode. Joan attacks the newly flipped Don Zaloog lets say, and destroys it. (duh)

First, Player A gains 1900 LP from Cestus of Dagla's effect. (2800+500= 3300-1400=1900) Then, Player A gains 1400 LP from Guardian Angel Joan's effect. (Don Zaloog's base ATK is 1400) So, total, Player A just gained 3300 LP.

Does that clear things up? I hope so...

Traditional Fairy- 3.5/5
Advanced Fairy- 4.5/5
Artwork- 3.7/5 --- I think the halo makes it look better. What you say? There is no halo? Oh yeah... UDE stole it and put it in its box of halos in the editing department. Well, the ORIGINAL Guardian Angel Joan looks a lot better with the halo.

Or maybe they were afraid of infringing on the copyrights of "Halo". (Hahahaha, whatever.) I'm more inclined to honestly believe they probably feared offending the high amount of certain "religions" that the people might find children or adults playing with an actual Angel. Did Shining Angel have a halo? Just look at Injection "Angel" Lily, she's not really a fairy, she's a spellcaster angel, whereas most angels in the game are fairies. I guess it's politically incorrect for a cute angel to have a big-arsed needle for a weapon. They're obviously not concerned about the possibility of kids doing drugs by seeing Lily holding a large needle, but heaven forbid they change her name to a fairy, who isn't a fairy. I suppose an actual angel with a halo is politically incorrect as well. Heaven forbis a little female spellcaster cleavage/skin as well.

P.S. - Nothing at all was intended by the above "religions" comment, please do not start anything defending yourselves, I'm not accusing anyone. I'm just stating the fact that there are ignorant people out there who already think Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic or D&D, etc, is the devil, or pure evil, and a plague to be wiped away.

A curious thing about this card is that, unlike the likes of Fenrir and other cards that need to "destroy a monster as a result of battle", Guardian angel needs to "destroy a monster as a result of battle and send it to the graveyard". Meaning if she double deaths with a monster of equal attack, or trips over a flip effect that removes her from the field in some way, she does not get her effect.
