yea it will get limited or semi litmited either that or the stone is going to one just like the OCG. if its not there already.

I'll agree with this going to one fairly quickly.

I too consider it worthy of restriction. After all you get the draw even if it gets hit by Exiled or Zaborg while face-down.

i just thought of a crazy idea using this card and machine duplication.

example

summon card trooper and activate machine D. u now have three card troopers. activate all three cards effects and shed out 9 cards in total if 4 of those are machines and u have cyber dragon and any other machine in your graveyard u can swing for game with chimera(hoping there is no backfield ) plus if they get destroyed by chimera u draw three cards(pray for the heavy storm).

this is to situational but it could happen and now i really hope it gets restricted.

Airman is tons better than Card Trooper. I am only saying that in terms of popularity, Card Trooper will be used as if it is an Airman in the TCG.

If Card Trooper gets limited, I will lmao.

Then I'd get ready for some laughin' if I were you.

I'd rather someone else do my dirty work for me, than I just copy it :D

I'm not so sure. I mean it was said, airman is better. I'm inclined to agree. And he isn't banned (yet). So I doubt we'll see card gunner limited or banned immediately. He's like sangan, but worse. His stats are worse, and he doesn't get to search, you just get the top card off your deck. If you want his stats up, you need to dump cards from the top of your deck. That's usually perceived as a negative thing (unless you are one of those people who LIKE to get hit with a needle worm flip)

I think his status on the banlist will be based solely on how much people can abuse him. And right now ? I only see him as an upgraded dekoichi.

card gunner doesnt' get its effect when tribbed. I am 90% sure of this because it says destroyed.

You are correct, which is another reason why I don't see it being limited so soon.

chimera will not activate the effect of card trooper. it sends all cards on your side of the field to the graveyard not destroys. also chimera can only attack multiple monsters not multiple times. meaning that this will not be an otk combo. but it can be helpful if you needed a cyber dragon.

also 9 cards is a lot to shed off of the deck and if you are waiting on heavy storm you might actually hit it with card trooper.

in retro spec card trooper loses to cosmos just like everything else. it wont even get its draw effect:ermm:

I will agree that this card is better than bazoo but I prefer cyber pheonix to it. cyber pheonix turns targeting effects into nothing.

card gunner is going to help the strategy though.

Have I ever mentioned how much Ive grown to hate machines? They are as ubiquitous as Warrior Control decks were a while back. But hey! Im biased like that. If it aint a Fiend, its simply another card.

however, objectively speaking, I wonder if a deck could be made to incoporate a recycling of effects via Diamond Dude, Card Trooper, Feather of the Phoenix, Pigeonholing Book of Spells, and so on?

There have to be a half dozen ways that Card Trooper can be used in some very sick and fun ways. Though being a Machine sickens me, I could still convince myself to run this in a Fiend deck.

btw, don't forget to tell the Geek about it when you are finished finding those killer combos. :p

I think it would be good in an uberfast exodia deck that runs three monster reincarnations and three backup soldiers.

But i don't see it in moderate-good playability

i love this card i hope it doesnt get limited

I hope it gets semi'd just so that it doesn't become too big of a problem.
