Cast down from Heaven,
Angel becomes dark demon,
Yet she offers life.
Stats:
Ah, Marie the Fallen One. As a Dark/Fiend, she
has plenty of support, but alas! She is a Level
5 with a paltry ATK of 1700 and DEF of 1200!
Card Text (Effects):
Here is the sole reason you’d play Marie… her
effect. As long as she exists in your
Graveyard, you gain 200 LP. Not a lot.
Uses/Combinations:
Fortunately, her effect is cumulative, which is
what gives her “life” purpose. She and Sinister
Serpent are great Painful Choices. ;) It is also
a fine thing for Magical Merchant to discard.
Given the week’s theme, of course it’s wonderful
to have 3 Marie in the discard for Chaos
Necromancer-not only does it feed his effect,
but her effect feeds your LP! 600 a turn
is actually pretty
good.
More obvious than my Chaos Necromancer/Shadow
Ghoul deck, it is a given for Fire Princess and
other life-gain decks. Not a bad choice for
Necromancer either, since you can get a boost
while you wait for your Dark Necrofear to show
up. Chaos Monster decks might consider her too
for that reason.
Ratings
Casual:
3.5/5-Aside from the relative strength increase
for decks that can make use of her talents, you
can probably slap a Painful Choice in whatever
decks don’t run it and get more use out of her.
Constructed:
3/5-Yeah, this may seem high, but she is one of
the cards (in conjunction with Painful Choice)
that get left out only to keep deck sizes down,
in my opinion.
Yeah, life-gain is a losing strategy on its own,
but as a small bonus, it’s great.
Limited:
4/5-Smaller starting LP and monsters means that
bonus is more impressive.
Summary
Would that she was a Level 4, as then she would
see a lot of play. So what if a Gemini Elf
would run her over? Next turn you’d get the LP
back, and from their it’d be all
bonus. As is, there
are plenty of cards that send other cards to the
Graveyard. As is, she still has a place, but
it’s a lot smaller. Now, I am curious-people
obsess over so many of the female monsters, so
where are her fans? :-P
