They are awesome. They require more skill than any other highly-competitive decktype... like the opposite of (ugh) lightsworns. I love using them so much... even more than blackwings.
lol Today was like the first day I ever played a Gladiator Beast deck, and I was just like '..........' as the guy kept summoning thing after thing. I'd have a high defense face down, he'd attack, then get hit for damage, then trade out for one that destroyed monsters when special summoned, and it was just a total beat down.
Really plants? That's something I never seen used. I know somebody is making an insect deck, which is also something I haven't seen anybody play.

I like using that card, just in a normal deck.
lol Yea, that's just a mouthful that I have never even began to try saying, though I did use it today when a guy was complaining how his deck sucks because his friend built it, and gave him five dollars to play it but it had very few monsters, and I worked it just fine. Even beating some girl's dragon deck.

Yeah you can't play a defensive game vs. GBs, you have to be an even more aggressive and faster player than they are. Because if you ever allow them to get an attack in, everything's going to work for them. But the downside is, they're really easy to side against.
Plants are awesome. Check out lonefire blossom, he's like the most broken support ever.
Figured that out the hard way lol. Yea I should probably run a side deck. But it's hard enough to just choose 40 cards for me, I'm not sure I could choose which to replace with one of the side deck cards quickly. lol
It is, but not as much as Substitoad.

Didn't Marik say that Slifer's and Obelisk's effects would not work on Ra as he was 'above' them?
EDIT: That hierarchy thing was in the manga only.

Of course not. Obelisk wouldn't be released unless it were toned down. If the other two are released, they'll be toned down as well.
Slifer will probably lose his second mouth effect, while having his ATK depend upon the number of cards in the hand. Or he'll keep the second mouth effect and have 4000 ATK/DEF .
Ra will lose the whole Phoenix Mode thing, along with his Maju Garzette ability. IMO, he should start off at 4000 ATK/DEF, just like Hamon. His unique ability will allow him to increase his ATK/DEF by how many LP the controller gives up (for one turn ).
Obelisk can destroy all monsters AND deal 4000/Infinite damage. Imo, that's better (in a way) than the Ra Phoenix mode ability bro .
Slifer's strength is also its weakness though. More often than not, players will have less than 4 cards anyway. Besides, ATK isn't everything these days.
Ra is Ra . Without Phoenix mode, it's lesser than the other two in terms of powerful effects, but potentially better in ATK.

He'd whoop Yugi too, though in GX times, they've (K&Y) have probably gotten better cards and strats so it's up to speculation I guess.
Ahh right, Blue is my favorite color, with Red being second. Since I like Phoenixes (no duh!), I'm pretty much torn between all three . Though yeah, Obelisk is my favorite, followed by Ra's Phoenix form and Slifer.
True. If they'd made Ra have only the Phoenix form, it would have been better imo.
To each his own.
Phoenix Ra would nevar succumb to the likes of the Orichalcos . Ra and Slifer would though.
True enough. Uria for the most part looked better than Slifer imo , except for the mouth of course. A mouth within a mouth .
I'm laid-back myself, and I found his laid-back personality to be quite cool, so yeah

MY point is, maybe you should be running them in the side deck.
I don't see how substitoad swarms the field faster. They have the same effect except Substitoad has the "not destroyed by battle" part, and isn't once per turn. But that doesn't matter in terms of actually getting more monsters on the field.
What's your deck nowadays? I could make some suggestions if I have a list.
They better get to work on poor old Red Eyes then. lol And not make any more Blue Eyes.
lol True this I guess. Though I think the fact that Maju Garzette, and Muka Muka are already cards Slifer and Ra will keep those effects. Would probably loose the rest. And with the god cards attack really is everything since they are not affected by anything. lol
Side decking it would be pointless on like just about any of my decks though except perhaps one. All my cards are based around low level effect monsters usually.
With scapegoat you can summon four frogs at once at most. And have three Unifrogs with Wetlands on the field, and even just summon a beezle frog you can destroy three magic/trap cards and deal 4800 direct damage in one turn if they have a monster. 6900 plus whatever substitoad is if you can get them without any monster or any magic/traps to stop attacks.

lol That's not the one that lost to GB. That was some new deck I built that just involved mostly lvl 1-2 monsters than can attack directly and gravity bind/level limit area b
__________________ If you try something stupid, and it works it ain't stupid.
The only two gravity binds I have are in my Zombie Deck, and my deck that has Raging Flame Sprite and other low level attack directly monsters. I really need to see if I can find another one at the card place the tournaments take place
__________________ If you try something stupid, and it works it ain't stupid.
Yeah. It's not that many people's style anymore from what I've seen (nowadays), so the feeling's mutual.
So I guess that's your favorite color too then huh? Nice.
Yeah. True that..
Fair 'nuff.
And yeah, I agree about Ra. To be honest, he easily looks to be the most bland out of the three when you put Phoenix mode aside. That's why I agree that he should've had Phoenix mode only.
Eh, I guess you got a point there. I was mainly speaking in terms of what-if anyhow.
The mouth within a mouth looked rather natural on Slifer though. Dunno how to explain it.. But while on the subject of Slifer, I also like how he selflessly used himself as a shield to protect the people/villagers/whatever from Bakura's shadow monster before Zorc came and all that. The thing could hardly take it.
