Friday:
The End of Anubis
Come on. We all saw this coming. EMoD picks
CotDs, you obviously know that a near-staple or
staple is going to be sitting in the Friday
slot.
First, I'd like to list this excerpt from The
NetRep files version 6.2, which clears up what
The End of Anubis DOES and DOES NOT negate,
important stuff in bold:
Here’s some of what “The End of Anubis WILL” do:
Negates “Aswan Apparition”.
Negates “Nubian Guard”.
Negates “Sangan”/”Witch of the Black
Forest” (even if you Tribute them to Tribute
Summon “The End of Anubis”).
Negates “Mystic Tomato”/”Giant Rat”/etc.
Negates “Sinister Serpent”.
Negates “Magician of Faith”.
Negates “Dark Magician of Chaos’” “spell
retrieval” effect.
Negates “Vampire Lord’s” ability to
return from the Graveyard.
Negates “Dark Necrofear’s” ability to return
from the Graveyard.
Prevents the activation of “Call of the Haunted”
or “Premature Burial”, but does NOT negate the
“if this card is destroyed, the equipped monster
is also destroyed” effect when Summoned AFTER
these cards are played.
Here’s what it will NOT do:
Will NOT negate the Special Summon of
“Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End”.
Will NOT negate the Special Summon of
“Black Luster Solder - Envoy of the Beginning”.
Will NOT negate the Special Summon of “Dark
Necrofear”, “Soul of Purity & Light”, etc.
Will NOT negate “Fiend Comedian”.
Will NOT negate “Fiber Jar’s” effect.“
This is the other card that will be competing
for your second Tribute slot. This card negates
searchers and recursion...for BOTH sides of the
field. So don't try to play this then Reborn
something else.
It's Witchable, can hold its own in battle, and
has an effect that negates a major game mechanic
for both players. If that doesn't sound like
Jinzo already, I don't know what does.
The list of can/can't negates pretty much covers
the rest of what I would say. So I'll just go
ahead and give this card its score.
4.25/5

Friday: End of Anubis
Well, well, well...here it is: the card that finally
makes Summoned Skull completely obsolete. He's a one
tribute 2500 attacker, something that's basically
unmatched in this game. The DEF is an
easy-to-kill-yet-Witchable 0 (which could hurt if
your opponent plays Book of Moon or Enemy
Controller). The effect is incredible.
First off, let's set one thing straight: End of
Anubis DOES NOT stop the Chaos monsters from being
summoned. Got it? Good!
So what can he stop? He stops Witch of the Black
Forest and Sangan. He stops Sinister Serpent. He
stops Monster Reborn, Premature Burial, and Call of
the Haunted. He stops Mystic Tomato and Shining
Angel. You can check the Netrep Files if you want a
more complete list. But you can see that End of
Anubis is a very effective monster: He stops a lot
of widely-used cards, and he has incredible ATK to
back it up.
So, where does he fit best? Well, he's a great
monster for Fiend Decks, as he won't stop you from
summoning Necrofear (though he will, unfortunately,
stop her from returning from the Grave) and his
effect can almost be comparable to Hades, what with
the negation of certain effects. You'll want to be
careful running him, however; he can definitely
backfire.
Typical tournament deck: 3.5/5
Fiend deck: 4/5
OVERALL RATING: 3.8/5 |

The End of Anubis
This monster sounds as kewl as it's effect is.
Pros:
Ok, this is the next 000 SCR and it has one of the
better effects. It stops cards like Witch, Sangan,
Sinsiter, Vampire Lord, Soul Release, Big Burn,
Disappear, Dark Magician of Chaos's effect about
getting magic back, Spell Reproduction, Double
Spell, Monster Reborn, Premature Burial, Question,
Call of the Haunted, Marie the Fallen one, and I
think it would prevent cards like Fear and Despair
from the Dark, and Regenerating Zombie. The list can
go on. 2500 ATK kills jinzo, Dark Ruler, just about
anything.
Cons:
0 DEF is equal to a Scapegoat token. 6 stars means
you need to tribute for it. It doesn't stand up to
Chaos, too. Note that it DOES NOT negate Chaos
summons. Here is the reason, best said by Tranorix:
"Necrovalley does negate because it plainly says,
"you can't remove from graveyards" while EoA negates
effects, but not costs and removing to summon Chaos
is a cost."
Overall, I give End of Anubis a 8/10. It's a decent
card. |
