Shapesnatch the Invincible




Stats of the card :


Type : Machine
Attribute : Dark
Level : 5
ATK : 1200
DEF : 1700
Effect : This card is treated like a Normal Monster. If this card attacks your opponent directly and reduces their Life Points to 0, you win the Match, due to your opponent repeatedly hitting his/her head on the wall, asking "Why ?" between every hit and quickly faint because of the repeated hits. If your opponent faints, this card will steal his soul. If this card steals a soul, it gains 100 ATK.

Where to play this card :

Shapesnatch doesn't want to share his deck with other monsters whose effects won't make it come faster on the field. Thus, the only way you can play Shapesnatch is in a Shapesnatch deck.

Advantages of this card :

- The attribute. Being Dark, Shapesnatch can be summoned with the Allure of Darkness and D.D.R. - Dance Dance Revolution combo. It also gets many support this way, although it won't need any of them, outside of the Special Summoning aspect.
- The type. Being a Machine, Shapesnatch gets another load of support, although, like with his Dark attribute, it doesn't need any.
- The effect. If you wanted to see any person you duel faint from repeated hits of his head to the wall, this card is made for you. Oh, and don't worry for the soul stealing part...

Disadvantages of this card :

...You're expecting the best card of the whole TCG to have some disadvantage ?

Cards to play for supporting this card :

You need to get it on the floor quickly, so any card for that is welcome. Mystic Tomato, Sangan, Summoner's Art, Ancient Rules, Birthright, Swing of Memories, any of these cards may give you access to Shapesnatch and its ultimate power.

My thoughts on this card :

This card is freaking awesome ! I've never seen a card holding such power in its bowtie, and in addition, it's so easy to summon ! The only bad thing is that there only exists copies of this card, the original being nowhere to be found. Copies are known to have no effect, thus looking like Normal Monsters, while the original one will have the effect.

You realize that you can do 7200 via Inferno Reckless, Delta Attacker, and Limiter? After that, just Tele into Krebons and sync up for Dark Strike.

Anonymous : Shapesnatch doesn't need any support that isn't made to summon it. Also, using Shapesnatch for tributes or Synchros is bad, and you should feel bad doing or thinking you're gonna do so.

I think he meant he was going to synchro the lame sopies of shapesnatch, not the awesome original. Is anybody other than myself going to build that OTK the other anonymous mentioned? 'Cause if it works, it'll be totally AWESOME to watch the other dude's reaction.
