Forum:Zombyra the dark

Zombyra the dark was never a great card to begging with. Not even when it was released.

While it had far more attack than basically any other card ( I remember Thunder Nyan Nyan being the strongest (playable) lvl 4 monsters ), it's side effect was just terrible. Loose 200 attack with each destroyed monster, it would be destroyed very easily in 2 or 3 turns.

Then, with 1900 atk monsters becoming the norm (and some other creatures, like Berserk Gorilla) it became virtually unusable.

Now I'm looking at it, and for some reason I see potential. It's 2100 atk monsters, which means he can deal with annoying cards like Thunder King Rai-Oh or Steelswarm Roach. Even "the most powerful with no-drawback" monsters like Alexandrite Dragon can be defeated by him.

He can't stand his ground for longer than 1 or 2 turns, but that doesn't seem like a problem anymore, since virtually no monster does nowadays. Just use him as Xyz Material or for a Synchro Summon in the second turn, and there you have it.

His level, attribute and type all play in his favor. Being dark AND warrior means there is a lot of cards which can work with him, like Allure of Darkness, Reinforcement of the Army, Armageddon Knight and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.

I don't know, maybe I'm just over-reacting, but he does seem like a card that got better. Opinions?
