The Best of the SOI "GODS"

[War_of_Chaos]

What do you think is the best of the SOI "God" cards.

Raviel, Lord of Phantasms i think is the best overall.

[tdswar]

i think hamon is the best just because it is the easiest to summon, just wait until you have 3 continuous spells and hamon in your hand, play the three spells, then destroy them to bring out hamon... easy... plus when it is in defense position you are good to go, it pretty much has a built in ring of magnatizm

[War_of_Chaos]

Yeah probally is easy to summon when you think about it but raviel is not too hard and i think will make fiends highly played.

[tdswar]

it will make fiends get more play, at least until the next banned list... i'm sure all 3 of these "gods" will be banned... but you never know...

[Unimatrix]

Actually they are not god cards!

They are legendary demons!

God cards are broken thats why they are gods thes things are just bad monsters with some ire effects this calamity of precious wanabe gods are futile!

it is just a marketing sheme to make money off of a bad set!

[War_of_Chaos]

I know thats why i put the quotations around them, commonly the quotations can be uses as sarcasm or the fact that alot of people just call them that for short.

[the#1TCGPlayer]

Uria is the best:

1. Sangen and UFO Turtle Searchable (unlikie others)

2. destroys spell or trap once per turn and cannot be chained (hint:use anti Spell Fregrance 2 set spells face-down B4 activation)

3. most conti nuous traps R not ban (except call and G bind) and here is a list of good Continuous traps 2 use:

1. call
2. mask of restrict
3. ordeal of a traveler
4. G Bind
5 EMBODIMENT OF APOPHIS (important)
6. Nightmare Wheel
7. Fairy Box
8. Ultimate Offering
9. ANTI SPELL FREGRANCE (important)
10. Dust Tornado (not continuous but helps tons, great synergy)
11. few others i ferget what i will post later

O yah wall of revealing light

and there R support cards for Uria:

a cat of ill omen
Mask Of Darkness
Elemental Hero Wildheart (slips under G Bind and others)
Green Kappa (is Great)
Emergency Provisions
so and and so forth......

Raviel is a boost but at best he is in a dark world deck, he is not searchable, and U can only summon 1 monster per turn so it may be hard outside dark world. Hamon has a burn deck but is hard 2 pull of , the best is different dimension capsule and gate, non-spellcasting area, ectoplamer, Messenger and Level Limit, Dark SNake Syndrome so yah Uria is the best hope it all helps i will start a post ragarding the beasts and there bads and goods.....Uria is the beast btw

[Neo-Hero]

I think we get it. I like........ I can't decide. It's too hard for me. It's between Uria, and Raviel. I hate using Cont. Magic cause someone always destroys it!!!! I guess I like Raviel the best for his tokens.

[robbodopolis]

my reviews from card of the day (hamon hasnt been reviewed yet):

Raviel

"Raviel is the reincarnation of obelisk the tormentor and looks much more badass than obelisk ever was. a 4000 4000 monster same as Hamon with the effect to special summon a fiend token whenever your oponent special summons a monster. now you can use these tokens to tribute for another monster or do as they are intended and give ravel an extra 1000 attack. even better tribute the token for a strong monster then sacrifice the stronger monster to give raviel a OTK boost. The only downfall to this card is the fact that he requires 3 fiends on the field to tribute, not a problem in:

archfiend
darkworld
RFTDD fiend deck

however the sacrificing of 3 monsters isnt worth it if your oponent has a BTH waiting making all your hard work a waste of time.

Traditional: 1 out of 5 the amount of removal in the game will finish him as soon as he is summoned
Advanced: 2.5 out of 5 there is still a large amount of monster destruction in the format but at least Raviel has a chance.
Overall: 1.75 out of 5

summary: Raviel has an awesome attack and an awesome effect however in today's format he is simply not worth the cost. it would be better to use the fiends you have on the field originally plus the chance of getting many tokens is slim"

Uria

"todays card is the second of the three legendary lords Uria. Uria (a perfect copy of slifer), is the hardest of the three to summon with hamon being the easiest followed by raviel because of the requirement of 3 continuous trap cards on the field. Urias effect is exactly the same as slifer strangely enough with his attack increasing by 1000 for every card in your hand. Because Uria is the hardest of the three to summon, he is given the best effect which is to once per turn destroy a spell or trap card on the field and the card destroyed cannot be activated as a counter. To make things even better, he is easily protected by smashing ground with his a defence a big fat 0.

Final thoughts: Uria is the hardest to summon but if he is summoned, he is well worth the effect. He will most likely keep the field under control for a few turns before being destroyed by another card.

traditional: 1 out of 5
advanced: 3 out of 5
overall: 2 out of 5

art: 4 out of 5, one of the best looking."

[Draco765]

um, you have a slightly wrong idea what the effect for Uria truely is: it is 1000 per continous trap card in the graveyard (auto 3000 attack due to the summoning cost) and when it uses the destroy a spell/trap card effect, NO spells or traps can be use in responce to that effect.
So even if your opponent has 3 spell/traps set, you target one for destruction, they can not activate any of them in responce. Even when he is Special summoned, if you use this Ignition effect they can not even use any of the traps that could respond to a summon.

P.S. Uria is the one I like the most. And If i get one or two, I will make a deck for him.

[Laguna]

Uria is the best:

1. Sangen and UFO Turtle Searchable (unlikie others)


you cant search him with UFO Turtle, he can't be special summoned by any effect but his own.

[kuricannon]

Uria definetley has the best effect...
But Hamon is the easiest to summon...


Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 face-up Trap Cards from your side of the field to the Graveyard. Increase the ATK of this card by 1000 points for each Continuous Trap Card in your Graveyard. Once per turn, you can destroy 1 Set Spell or Trap Card on your opponent''s side of the field. Spell and Trap Cards cannot be activated in response to this effect''s activation.


If you chained 3 trap cards, considering they are not continuos, could you then immediatley tribute them and summon him? Or for example, chained 2 traps and a cont. trap? It doesn't say "by sending three continuos trap cards to the graveyard,"

[McMike2]

hamon is the most competitive.

[Draco765]

no, the special summoning effect has no spell speed so it does not happen on a chain. The traps you send to the graveyard must be countinous or some how stay on the field after it has been activated.

[kuricannon]

k, thanx...
im actually starting to like Hamon.
-easy to summon
-Pretty much a brick wall
-they lose 1000 when monster destroyed. I know it's not much, but it is something if your opponent is just laying down defense mode monsters over and over...and it probably ticks people off...(my kind of stlye)

[War_of_Chaos]

he is the easiest to summon i guess and im starting to like him now that i own him,hehehehe. Now to create a deck with him.

[CyberDragon317]

I think Hamon's the best, also in addition to what everyone has said you could make a pretty competitive Hamon/Chaos deck, with 1 hamon, 3 cyber dragons, and 2 chaos sorcerers

[kuricannon]

aww...u own him? Its so hard getting him from sheer packs. My friends bought boxes and none of them got any of the demons, lol. They just kept getting Cyber Barriers and Cyber Lasers

but what is bad is I can definetely see these cards on future ban lists...im hoping that if they do put it on the Forbidden List, then they limit it to 2. Nothing less, please Konami. If u don't ban it, I will buy every single Metal Gear Game ever released...

[CyberDragon317]

I own a hamon

[Marzbar]

Raviel's the best. And like you said War of Chaos, i think we will see fiends get alot more play. Hooray!

[CyberDragon317]

No, raviel is unplayable. He takes three tributes, much more they all have to be fiend type, one of the tougher to find types, and finally fiends don't have any real support.

[tdswar]

if i get a hamon in my box of SOI i will definately put a deck together around him... so easy to summon and has a destructive effect....

[CyberDragon317]

yeah, the order of the demons from best to worst is as follows:
1.Hamon
2.Uria
3.Raviel

[kuricannon]

well, u could use raveil in a Dark World deck. With all the Fiends on the field, it is easier to summon him.
But now i think Hamon is the best, then Uria, then Raviel.

[Pharaoh Horus]

No, raviel is unplayable. He takes three tributes, much more they all have to be fiend type, one of the tougher to find types, and finally fiends don't have any real support.

I beg to differ. Raviel works very well with RFTDD and Dark Necrofear. Anyway, here is my list showing the ranking of each of the 3 demons. In my opinon at least...

1. Raviel
2. Hamon
3. Uria

[ygofan]

Raviel fiends are a great deck type and can just be added in there easiest to use.

[the#1TCGPlayer]

Not talking about U when i say this Pharoah horus!!

Peopel that R trying 2 pick which god is the best (coughcoughCyberdragon317coughcough) like this R making me mad, yes i did this but it was IMO, each god has a specific deck that works (i.e. raviel=dark world or necrofear rftdd, hamon=non effect continuous spell or burn, yes his effect works and U have poison of the old man, dark snake syndrome, etc, and uria with S/T destruction or pure continuous trap stall deck) each has a specific deck 2 work in if not splashed in 1 deck altogether, U all have Ur Opinions and IMO Uria is best beacause he is searchable and not many continuous traps R limited, ecxept call and G. bind, but each god also has it's weaknesses, so U cannot order them but it is all opinion nothing else!! this jus' kinda angered me.... raviel would be hardest IMO cause without dark world he is a horrible topdeck, and the necrofear/rftdd combo requires time and if not played right can cause disaster i mean, BTH and smashing or sak. armor and there U go bye bye (any of) the legendary beasts and IMO is a waste of time, hamon is actually the most playable but not the best, again this whole thread is opinion!! IMO this and IMO that lol sorry 4 the lon post had 2 prove a point =) hope people understand!!

[Pharaoh Horus]

I don't believe it is so much about which demon is best, it is more like which one is the most playable or the common favorite. That is just my opinion though.

[War_of_Chaos]

You know what now that i think about it, they are all good and playable in theire own way just require smart enought people to figure it out.

[the#1TCGPlayer]

so U guys agree? because U said all that i said lol =) start a poll about playablility or which is a more fav. Pharoah, and War U R totally right people just have 2 realise, and not bash the beasts as well.....

[sour lem0nz]

can some1 give me a quarter lol jk im getting all 3 sacred beast

[E-Hero Man]

i think hammn is the most playable but uria is def the best but i do own Raviel and Hammon btw pulled both out of 7 packs of a fresh box yesterday so any deck ideas are welcome im using a darkworld them and yes it is easy to get all the freinds out 2 goldds in my hand 2 king of darkworlds and there are 4 feinds along with dark doors for hammon and its game

[the#1TCGPlayer]

U need more than dark door lol but i agree with everything!! streight 2 the truth!! lol

[reis17]

i think hamon is the best

[the#1TCGPlayer]

i think hamon is the best

well hamon is the mo0st playable, but Uria is most powerful, raviel is meh..with people sid-baording Silent Insect, Uria and Hamon ares all fo not...or however u say that lol

[gale winblade]

i think uria has the highest poetial. his atk can be almost limitless. pluse i made a full on uria deck (considerind i have 2 of him.) and i'm getting hamon tomorrow. i dont know why i want him... but oddly enof ever since i pulled that second uria. the deck that its in has never lost a duel. even when its up agents a jinzo.(actualy he helps my deck so i dont have to pay the coust of and trap cards hehehe)

[Syandrious]

hmmmm i got a hamon out of my first Shadows of Infinity pack and think its really well suited for an "ironwall" defense deck. out of the three, i would play hamon over any of the others. and once the "ban commity" sees that people think that uria is "godly" they will almost certainly ban that. i predict that all three "gods" will be banned by the next ban list

[gale winblade]

[yugioh gx]

I think Hamon is the best:w:

[Syandrious]

i dont see the fuss over cyber dragon, shure its got a good effect, (if im remembering correctly, if your opponent has 1 more monster than you do, you can special summon this card to the field) im not too shure if it was 1 more, or if it was if you have no monsters, and you oppnent has any.
good effect, yeah, but not a great choice for more decks.

good effect, yeah, but not a great choice for more decks.well right now my cyber d's are a little mad at me. (and if u dont think that a card can be then u are quite mistaken. its the spirit of the monster thats in the card that can get mad.) cause i put more faith in to the demon gods than i have them. but untill they forgive me i'm going to work on a new deck. involving e-hero spark man, clay man, burtninatrix, and avian. and then the armed dragons. lvls 5-10. and oddly enof. it works.... well. but all i'm missing are the fusions. i need 2 flame wingman, and 2 thundergiant. 3 would be nice but still.

[zane_truesdale]

uria is the best...searchable, easy to summon, and most of all...not affected by smashing ground...go for uria!!!

1. uria
2. hamon
3. raviel

[the#1TCGPlayer]

yes, good Zane lol that is true, check some of the Decks me, and Kurricanno have posted, they are awesome..

[zane_truesdale]

tcg...got a link? they based on uria?

[darkmasterj]

raviel is hte best and easiest to play so booyah. no love for the others how sad oh well

[zane_truesdale]

i just told all the reasons why uria is the best...

[Marzbar]

Raviel. Fiend....hello? Fiends rule, LOL.

[Shen]

I think if you can build and good deck to woek with both of the demons then you got a pretty good deck and keep this in mind I build one and I use:1 Ruin,Queen Of Oblivion:1 Demise, King Of Armageddon and 2 End Of The World cards: And it has done pretty good but I found a way to make the hole deck work a heck alot better and the Dark World cards work good in this deck too.:D:t:

[Syandrious]

ummmmm, shen........ i think you didnt get the topic...... we were discussing the three SOI "gods" Raziel, lord of phantasms, Hamon, lord of striking thunder, and Uria, lord of searing flames.

all of which are mistlikely going to the bann list next banning time

[Dekzter]

ya i agree with war of chaos, raviel i think is the best

[djdon722]

Raviel. Fiend....hello? Fiends rule, LOL.

Yeah fiends all the way!!! Anyway I believe that Raviel is the best.

[Dekzter]

i changed my mind i say uria can be the best in a stall deck

[halo mercenary]

Hamon is definetly the best when it comes to gods. His effect rocks! Raviel is pretty good too though. I just hate Uria, i dont know why. Plus I have Hamon if any can think of a good deck for him tell me.

[GreenDragon]

I'm not a Big Fan

But the best in my opinion is Uria

If you have enough Continues TrapCards in your graveyard. He can get like 5000 attack points with 5 in graveyard.. Imagin with 20. There's 20,000 attack points right there..
