Sinister Serpent replacements...

[Oskar Darktide]

I'm just curious to know how what you guys think about Outstanding Dog Marron and Cockroach Knight as possibly replacements for Sinister Serpent. Personally, I think Cockroach Knight could take the place of the snake, but it comes with the cost of losing your next draw phase, to some extent. Marron has the obvious drawback that it gets shuffled back into the deck, so you can't rely on it being there the turn after you use it. So yeah, what do you guys think?

 

[chaosruler]

There is one card that is a perfect way to replace Sinister Serpent's card advantage. But I'm not telling what it is.

...Night Assailent?...

 

[chaosruler]

How would Night Assailant be the replacement? You can only use it once. I've told Oskar, but I've sworn him to secrecy. hehe

[Oskar Darktide]

Night Assailant it obvious, but the fact that its limited to 1 now hurts it quite a bit. I'm looking for something thats not going to have the requirements Night Assailant has.

 

[DuelzEntity]

Can you tell me?

 

[Maruno]

Graverobber? Super Rejuvenation?

 

[Ultiheart]

Jeez you guys...isn't it obvious?

It's both Ooguchi AND Milus Radiant.

...oh wait, we're talking about the effect or the ATK/DEF?

Come to think about it, I can't really guess...perhaps it's something like Regenerating Mummy to a degree (sure not as useful as SS...but it's close(ish) ).

 

[chaosruler]

Not Regenerating Mummy. <_<

Is it Sinister Serpent?

Oh wait...

 

[krazykidpsx]

Regen only works when the opponent discards it.

at the moment. im using most of my tributes as discards, usually its followed up with a rebirth combo, but beyond that, i try and not discard.

 

[FallenAngel]

I KNOW!!! But promised I WOULD NOT tell..

:ninja: Obviously it can't be that great of an effect, as the board would have already been screaming the praises of this "new" Sinister Serpent BEFORE Sinister Serpent got Banned.

If indeed it is a secret replacement, then that must mean it hasnt gone through the rigorous Ruling's debate. :ninja:

 

[chaos general]

Believe me, the replacement is actually very practical and it works.

Though I can see that new spell in the Spellcaster structure deck being used too...

And let's face it, nothing can really "replace" Sinister Serpent. But there are possible "substitutes."

But let's face it, Serpent is just too versatile to be replaced.

 

[masterwoo0]

:ninja: As long as you arent talking about Sword of Deep-Seated.

I really can't see that as a replacement, but rather a dead draw, even if you can have 3 of them in your Deck (just makes it worse). :ninja:

Just like Pot of Greed. Well, at least until Pot of Avarice comes out, to an extent. Let's just wait until Sinister Serpent's Lightning Vortex (ie: watered-down replacement) comes out.

(Unless it came out already and we're too naive to realize it... *coughmarronroccough*)

Sword of Deep-Seated? *shudder*

That brings back a lot of bad top-decking memories from my younger days... (Makes me sound like I'm old...*is 16*oO;

 

[krazykidpsx]

marron is to risky to use, i actually used it for a very long time, and trust me there are times were you hope to everything that the top card isnt that damn dog, while other times you pray it was.

if I'm even thinking along the right lines the only thing that pops in my mind is Thunder Dragon.
