"Heaven does not give birth to my twelve beasts, and the excess is as long as the night!" Using this sentence to express the super mainstream deck twelve beasts that once focused on over-summoning can be said to be the most appropriate. It can be said that a series opened an era, an era of taking the top stage with an overweight deck. And today we are going to talk about two forbidden cards in this series: the Twelve Beast Dragon Gun and the Twelve Beast Calf.
The prohibition of the Dragon Gun is something that is easy to understand. The Dragon Gun 2 effect is a quick effect that can be unleashed on opposing turns and has an arbitrary effect that can destroy 1 card on the field. Therefore, the Dragon Gun is also a recognized terminal in the Twelve Beasts Honkaku series. The K Society wants to weaken the Twelve Beasts, so banning the Dragon Gun is the most direct and effective way.
The ban on bull calves and guilds, as well as the restriction on rat riding, essentially have the same reason. That is, these 3 cards are the unfolding points of the Twelve Beasts series. However, compared to the Rat Ride and the Guild Game, the expansion of the calf requires 1 twelve beast subordinate as a springboard to start. So in April 2017, the dragon gun and the game were banned, and the rat ride was restricted, but the oxbow was intact. But in addition to being the unfolding point of the twelve beasts, there was actually a point on the body that touched the moldy head of the K Society.
That is, the search range of the 2 effects of this card is really too broad. The village chief has always believed that if a series can use the resources of the deck and the graveyard as a hand, then the series must have the potential to become a super mainstream deck. For the calf, this is a card that can be used as a standard deck as its own hand.
In the forbidden card table of the game king, it can be said that it is not uncommon for cards to achieve this type of effect. From the divine judgment of the once super mainstream dragon series and magic guide books, to the last words of the ancient forbidden card, bitter choice. As well as the lost X-Swordsman, Eve the God Son of the Star Cup, the Guardian Dragon, the Summoning Witch, the Entertainment Companion Monkey, and the Entertainment Mage Fire Puppet, it can be said that they are forbidden to use the cards in the deck as hand cards.
Therefore, even if the dragon gun is lost as a super terminal big brother, the Twelve Beasts series can still mix the Twelve Beasts into various mainstream decks through the retrieval effect of the bullf. It can be said that at this time, the calf single-handedly saved the twelve beast decks that should have set the sunset. So naturally, in July 2017, K-Society quickly sent the calf into the small black house.
Since then, the Dragon Gun, the Guild, the Bullf, and the restricted Rat Rider have 4 cards in the Twelve Beast Decks. The entire series of the Twelve Beasts has a total of 12 monster cards and 4 Honka magic trap cards, for a total of 16 cards. In other words, the entire series lost a quarter of its combat power. Therefore, at this time, many players began to jokingly refer to the twelve beasts as "three-quarter beasts".
The reason why the K Society was so hasty and panicked to suppress the Twelve Beasts, in addition to the terrifying competitive dominance of the Twelve Beasts, was actually an important reason. That is, in May 2017, the 6th generation of game king animation "Game King VRAINS" began to be broadcast, and game king ushered in the LINK era. And when each new type of card appears, there will be a large-scale suppression campaign against the K Society of the old type of card.
But I have to say that I thought that the new LINK card and the new master rules would bring some slowdown to the competitive environment of the game king, but the LINK card, which is fragile and cannot be defended, has opened its own crazy storytelling road, just because the Fire Dragon 1 card has given birth to a variety of perverted gameplay. Link cards have more relaxed material requirements than homophonic summoning, and like homophonic summoning in that year, once again push the OCG environment onto the highway of bravely moving forward higher, faster and stronger.
As the environment continues to develop rapidly, and the LINK card has also passed the novice protection period, so the K Society began to pursue the blossoming of the arena. At this time, as the shoulder handle of the former Super Realm, the Twelve Beasts naturally became the first experimental object of the K Society. In October 2019, the bureau of the twelve beasts was carefully released by the K Society from the small black room, and after finding that the environmental impact was not large, the K Society began to release the dragon gun again. And the result still did not disappoint the K Society, and the Twelve Beasts had indeed lost the terrible oppressive power of the new era.
However, the turning point occurred on July 18, 2020, when the K Society launched the second card pack of the 11th issue, which contained the Iron Beast Battle Line deck featuring the Bird Orc Clan, the Beast Warrior Clan and the Orc Clan, as well as the future Excess Light, the Invincible Arena Gundam: The Celestial Thunder Azeus. So the twelve beast card deck joined hands with the iron beast battle line to form the twelve irons, the rat rode a single card jumping pig tiger tiger jumping dragon, and finally rode the invincible Gundam and began to march in the arena.
With the continuous improvement of the 11th issue card pack, the Iron Beast Front continued to obtain new reinforcement cards, so that the strength of the Twelve Iron Card Deck began to exceed the strength of other card decks in the same period. At this time, it can be said that the environment is once again out of control because of the twelve beasts, so in July 2021, as the terminal big brother of the 12 beasts, the dragon gun was once again imprisoned by the K Society into the small black room, and the twelve beast card deck once again ushered in the second sunset.
