This week for Card of
the Day I chose to do overdone week. Cards I feel
are severely overplayed. So lets start with today's
card Injection Fairy Lily..
LOD-100
Injection Fairy Lily
Earth/Spellcaster/3/400/1500
"Can only be activated during your or your
opponent's Damage Step. Pay 2000 Life Points to
increase this card's attack strength by 3000 for the
Damage Step."
"She's got the magic
effect,
You know you can pay
once,
You can pay twice,
She is the baddest
Chiiiiiiiiiiiick" .. okay, I just had to do that.
First of all, Injection
Fairy Lily is a good card. The 3000 Damage that
cannot be cylinder'd back to you is phenomenal in
Putting On The Heat in either
attack phase. The 2000 damage you lose for paying
for a 3000 attack is not too bad of a trade off in a
crucial situation, but if they Mirror Force it,
OOPS, they have a lethal reborn option.
My only real beef with
this card is if it is taken from you by cards such
as Monster Reborn, Snatch Steal, or Change of Heart,
your in a REAL mess, because that 3000 attack is
just brutal especially since you don't see this sort
of thing coming.
It doesn't belong in
EVERY deck, this really isn't a staple, regardless
if it's restricted or not. It is a good card, but
the steep cost can do you in if they got a nice
defense going. This card is the WORST for attacking
face down monsters.

Injection Fairy Lily
Earth/3/400/1500
[Spellcaster/Effect]
Effect: This card's effect can be activated only
during the Damage Step of either player's turn. Pay
2000 Life Points to increase the ATK of this monster
by 3000 points only during the Damage Step.
Apparently this is overrated cards week. After having
to review the entire Yugi Starter Deck for something
else, I'm glad to actually see a playable monster to
review. Sorry about the 2 week absence. I've been
rather busy with stuff...
Anyway, back to the card. You can only use the effect
once per attack, so you cant pay 6000 LP to raise the
attack by 9000. Is this card overrated? I think so.
The effect really chews through your LP and if you
aren't attacking the opponent directly, you're usually
taking more damage from the cost than the amount of
damage you're giving your opponent. This really leaves
you in the hands of your opponent if he just chooses
to attack the lily and you have to decided whether you
want to spend 2000LP to do less damage to the opponent
or to just let the lily die.
I'd give this card a 2.5/5. I'm not saying Lily is a
bad card. On the contrary, it's one of the easier one
turn knockouts to pull off. You just have to know the
right situation to play it in. |

Today's card is
Injection Fairy Lily, which I think is pretty
overrated (durrrr). I'm gonna start off by saying I
never used it in my beatdown and probably never
will. You basically have to pay a whopping 2000 of
your Lifepoints to boost Lily's ATK by 3000,
essentially making her 3400 ATK.
With her Level, Lily
can attack under Gravity Bind. With her defense, she
can make a good wall under Messenger of the Peace.
Since her ATK is less than 1500 she can be fetched
by Sangan. Since her defense is 1500, she can be
fetched by Witch.
Also, since her effect
works during the Damage Step, its not possible to
plat Magic or Trap in that step. She's very
versatile, I'll give her that. She can also be one
HUGE monster if you use her effect. She beats Jinzo
(with her effect only), which is usually my greatest
fear.
This would all be
great, however her cost is the worst part about her.
If you're starting at 8000 LP, 2000 may not seem
like a lot, especially if you're attacking directly
with her. However, if you get her late in the duel,
say when you have 3000 or 4000 LP, then its going to
seem like a lot. Her cost isn't mandatory, however.
I still think its a lot to pay for something hardly
permanent. With the release of the new set, better
replacements and hard hitters (1900's) will be
found.
I think she is usable in
beatdowns and good against stall/weenie rush decks,
however she's not staple material, since decks in
general can live without her cost IMO.
Rating: 2/5

Monday:
Injection Fairy Lily/Injection Angel Lily:
LOD-100-Secret Rare
Earth/Spellcaster/3/400/1500
Effect: This card's effect can be activated only
during the Damage Step of either player's turn. Pay
2000 Life Points to increase the ATK of this monster
by 3000 points only during the Damage Step.
Pros:
Attacks under GB & MoP
Work if attacking or attacked
Over-powers almost any Monster
Cons:
Kuriboh!, let you pay 2000 for nothing
Costly to use
Combos:
Fairy Meteor Crush - 3400 TRAMPLER!
Life Absorbing Machine - Gain back LP costs, but
doesn't work if you pay LP during your opponents turn.
Notes:
This is one of the most over-powered and over-rated
cards out at the moment next to Yata, and for good
reason. Her effect lets her gain 3000 ATK during the
Damage Step, meaning if your opponent wants to play
Mirror Force, Magic Cylinders or something else to
destroy her as she attacks they have to do it as the
attack is declared before the Damage Step. The ONLY
Traps or Quick-Play Spells that can be played in the
Damage Step are ones that increase or decrease ATK and
DEF like Mask Of Weakness, Castle Walls, Snake Fang,
The Reliable Guardian or Rush Recklessly but theses
cards don't see much play at the moment so they don't
get in the way too much if any.
The ONLY bad side to using her effect is the cost...
2000 LP can add up very quickly. If your opponent
decides to attack her you have to make the decision to
pay the cost to make her able to destroy the attacking
Monster, so if your opponent keeps attacking her and
you keep paying you can run out of LP quicker than
your opponent. The easiest way to get by with paying
her cost a lot is to use some LP gainers like Life
Absorbing Machine, which lets you gain back HALF the
LP cost you paid in YOUR last turn, but it doesn't
won't work for anything you pay during your opponents
turn, but still, if you have two Machines active you
gain back the full amount that you had paid during
your last turn so it can help if you can find the room
for it in your Deck.
This card was also a Normal Rare when it came out in
Japan and was upgraded to a Secret Rare when it was
released over here, I guess they didn't quite see her
power until she hit the tournament scene and blew away
Jinzos left and right... leading her to quickly be
restricted one-per-Deck. She can basically take down
almost any un-boosted Monster in the game right now
except Valkyrion the Magna Warrior and Gate
Guardian... two Monster that don't see much play
anyways.
So yeah! This card Rocks!, it may not fit in every
Deck, but for the Decks that do she helps win games
very fast if used wisely.
Ratings:
Casual: 4.5
Tourney: 4.0
ArtWork: 4.5 - Hearts? What happened to her Medical
Crosses? Numinous Healer still has Medical Crosses on
her nurses hat... oh well, guess it makes her more
lovey :) |

Monday 10/06/03: Injection Fairy Lily
3/400/1500
Earth/Spellcaster
LOD-100
This card's effect can be activated only during the
Damage Step of either player's turn. Pay 2000 Life
Points to increase the ATK of this monster by 3000
points only during the Damage Step.
Yes, this card is overrated, but that doesn't mean
it's bad. It's just not as amazing as some people
think.
Lily is a decent monster with an excellent effect.
3400 ATK can kill almost anything in the game today.
Gate Guardian, Valkyrion the Magna Warrior and
Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth are the only monsters
with a higher ATK right now and those are all hard or
impossible to get onto the field. She can be searched
by both Witch and Sangan. Being an Earth-Type means
she can be Special Summoned by Giant Rat or even Last
Will.
The biggest problem with Injection Fairy Lily is that
too many people treat it like a 3400 ATK effectless
monster. They keep attacking with no regard for their
own Life Points which ends up losing them the duel.
2000 LP is not a small amount to pay. It's worth it to
kill monsters like Jinzo or Dark Ruler Ha Des but for
killing things like Gemini Elf, it's a huge waste. The
other problem is that people put her onto the field
with no way to either protect themselves from her or
destroy her. This makes her a prime target for Change
of Heart and Snatch Steal which will usually end the
duel.
Kuriboh will make that 2000LP you paid worthless.
Mystic Tomato (or similar monsters) will just drain
you and your opponent of LP since your opponent can
keep Special Summoning more Tomatoes and eventually
even a Witch or Sangan will be able to kill Lily since
you won't be able to pay for her effect anymore. If
your opponent uses Waboku when Lily attacks a monster
in ATK mode, if that monster has more than 400 ATK,
Lily dies if she doesn't use her effect and even then,
your opponent doesn't take any damage or lose his/her
monster. Lily is also not a very good wall, especially
when your opponent has more monsters than you on the
field as your opponent will keep attacking Lily until
you cannot pay in which case, you have a 400 ATK
monster in Attack Position, waiting to get
slaughtered.
There are only a few reasons to use Lily but several
not to. She can be a good monster if she is used
responsibly but I haven't seen very much of that.
