Mefist the Infernal General DCR-EN066

Dark, Fiend, 5 stars, 1800 att, 1700 def, AND ONLY A RARE!!!!!

Text:
When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, select 1 card from your opponent's hand randomly and discard it.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE THIS CARD MORE?!!!

It's a fiend, and with the recent upsurge in fiend decks it's a great card to put in there. It's like an Airknight Parshath exept debatable better. It causes your opponent to discard instead of you drawing and it's attack is 100 less. The 100 attack makes a big difference with all the 1900s running around and the fact that it causes your opponent to discard means that you may not always be able to use his effect (no card in your opponent's hand, nothing for him/her to discard). Who cares though? As long as yhou pull off his effect once I'm happy.

When you tribute summon a monster you end up with one less card then you started out with. There are several monsters that are exceptions to this; the monarchs, Airknight Parshath, and THIS CARD-Mefist the Infernal General.

It's an amazing card despite it's pitfalls, why people don't use it more I can only speculate. I imagine it has something to do with the time it was released and the Meta it was released into, people just saw a 1800 attack tribute monster and said it would never last. This is just one card that reminds us all that we need to look back on sets every so often to see if we missed anything...

I don't like equip cards other (than Snatch Steal)...but that's a discussion for another time

amen to that. i find equip cards to be a waste of time (other than snatch and premature) unless you need them for the deck (ie- fairy deck - cestus of dagla, guardian deck, gearfried swordmaster) or if that card is part of your strategy... (elma + gear + library? lol)

mefist himself has a great effect, of course, but a horrible attack. i say, why not just use Don? 400 ATK less, sure, but if they dont have a card in their hand, which is very common, you can at least take out their deck (which can be good or bad). 1800 ATK, 1700 DEF with a great effect for a tribute is about the same as a 800 ATK, 700 DEF 4-star with a great effect. the difference is that the 4-star needs no tribute, making it better.

maybe hed be a tad better if he was considered an archfiend... (is he? i dont think he is... hmm...) or if he had more ATK points. or if fiends had an ATK booster like The "A" Forces. (bark of dark ruler is not gonna cut it)

the trample effect is useful, but with 1800 ATK, not as much. Airknight is a lot better to use, hands down. hence the difference between a rare and an ultra rare. if this was supposed to be a rival to airknight, than they failed. miserably.

AAU is only on your opponents graveyard.

No kidding, take a monster from your opponent's graveyard and tribute it for Mefist.

@chaos general
currently the only non-titled archfiend cards are as follows:
Axe of Despair
B. Skull Dragon
Beast of Talwar
Fiend Skull Dragon
Lesser Fiend
Shadow Tamer
Summoned Skull
Toon Summoned Skull

Untested but have made and used a deck similar to this before and know how I intend on playing it. read and really think about it.

yea pay 1500 to get your self a 1800atker on the field that will get beat up easily.

no dude.

you might as well keep the monster your paying for if its going to be better than mefist.

 

[exiledforcefreak]

not if it means you can get rid of a card in your opponent's hand

 

[chaos general]

not if it means you can get rid of a card in your opponent's hand

yeah, but your opponent isnt always guarenteed to have a card in their hand.... 6/10 times they probably will though... depends on how far into the duel you are i guess.... ^_^

in closing, this post is getting most boring... lol, we should spamulate another one.... ^_^
