Sky Scourge Enrise
I know the other one's supposed to be our new Chaos
Emperor Dragon, but this is nowhere near our new BLS-Envoy.
They finally understood what needed to be done with
the Chaos monsters to make them balanced -- require
more than two removals. Four is a bit hefty, but is
worth it in Norleras's case, since he's blowing up
the field and giving you the first draw. Four in
THIS case...you get 2400 ATK with Chaos Sorcerer's
effect. Honestly, I think they were afraid of
creating a new cookie-cutter, as you're only getting
100 ATK more than Sorcerer for double the cost, and
SPECIFIC typed removals at that.
Honestly, for four removals, he should either be
able to remove face-downs or still get to attack
after removing a face-up, AND get the doubleshot
effect of BLS. Otherwise I see no reason he should
cost four cards.
My thoughts are pretty much the same. It's a
stronger, yet more difficult to summon Chaos
Sorcerer. It needs its own deck to function
properly, you can't just throw in the required
removal monsters and hope for the best.
Ratings:
Traditional: No need at all 1/5
Advanced: It's own deck or nothing
Sky Scourge :
Hmmm. I sense a desire to reprint certain banned
cards.
This is a vague approximation to BLS. It's smaller,
can't attack twice, is stupidly harder to summon,
and has a less interesting picture. However, if you
can find a balanced build of Fairys and Fiends and
make good use of RFtDD, there is fun to be had here.
The question is how good is the Fairy monster base?
Traditional: 3/5
Advanced: 3/5

Sorry to disappoint, still not dead. I was just AFK
while working all weekend.
So jumping back to reviews lands me with a mini-BLS.
Actually more like mini-Chaos Sorcerer. Now the new
‘chaos’ monsters have received a lot of hype, but I
personally don’t feel that they will be extremely
broken.
Enrise ties with the monarchs in ATK, relieving one
of CS’ weaknesses, but losses defense. In addition
to that Enrise is a full nomi, no resurrecting or
using Return from the Different Dimension. This
extremely limits the effectiveness of this card.
Essentially you’ll be devoting a decent amount of
your deck to get out a CS that you will lose, and
once it’s gone it won’t be coming back easily.
Like I said, really watered down.
Now on the field it can cause the same amount of
damage that CS could, more so since you can kamikaze
a Monarch, but that would be not a bright idea since
you could just remove it instead. The issue is that
this requires you to have 3 fairies to bring out.
Now increasing the soul-sacrifice from 2 to 3 is one
thing, but also limiting it to a specific type,
really eliminates any splashibility for this card.
Now if you can create a dedicated deck that can be
stable while supporting the heavier cost of Enrise,
you should be able to run it. I will not go into the
deck construction, people have been at that already
and will continue to. We just have to wait to see if
it can gain a footing in the current meta, as it’s
own independent archetype.
Traditional: 1/5 you have the ACTUAL Envoys, use
them
Advanced: 3.5/5
