PYRAMID TURTLE

shuffled.
 
Greg's Review:

   I have to start out by saying this card is not as good as many perceive it to be. Number one the only playable thing in a tourney that this thing can get out is VL (Vampire Lord) I mean you may think this is better than Mystic Tomato and you are wrong and the competition between the two is simple. Vampire lord is a good card and this helps to get it out. Mystic Tomato can get out so much while the only real thing this can get out is VL. I am not saying it is bad but I am saying is if you are not running a strait old Zombie deck than do not play three or unless you build your deck around VL. Remember VL is not going to win you the game and that is something many people do not get. It can really increase your chances of winning but so can Tomato. The thing I do not get about this is the fact that Mystic Tomato can get out more thing and keep you with some advantage. This thing is just really not seen much where I live so my opinion can only tell you how it would do where I live and that is poorly. Number one starting out with all of the cons.

Con's

can only really get out VL if you are not playing a Zombie deck

has to be kiled in battle

not many playable Zombies

can't get out Great Dezard a really important card in a Zombie deck

Pro's

can get out the big VAMP

can get out himself

speed is good

Overall:

It is good but really the problem is you can't get much and the only Zombie playable IMO is VL and maybe Patrice of Darkness. I mean at least with Mystic Tomato can get out a lot this thing ain't getting out much and people just do not play enough zombies to play 3x of these. But playing 1 is ok to get out VL but three is not recommended outside of a strait zombie deck.

tourney 2/5

Casual 3/5

Zombie 4.7/5

 

 

Earl's  Review:

Pyramid turtle
There's a lot of Zombies out there that can be used with this effect. Dragon Zombie, Armored Zombie, Pumpking, Giant Axe Mummy, you name it. So many choices, only one you're allowed to choose.

I give this card a 4.5/5

 

 
Knocked out's Review:   

Well its effect is on the top of the screen so you can read it up there.  Lets checks some Pros and Cons first.

Pros:
Can pull  VAMPIRE LORD, spirit reaper, and more then half of the other zombies in the game.
Witchable
Sanganable
Gaint Ratable
can slam into dark jeroid, marauding can't
you can choose what possition to put the choosen monster in.

Cons:
Dark would be a better attribute for Mystic Tomato
result of battle
only zombie

This is another one of the cards I play in my deck.  The only one I don't that we are reviewing is shining angel, but that's for my machine at least.  I play 3 reapers and Vamp, and yes I am a control deck.  One day I decided to try him and without a doubt it work.  Getting vampire out was easier.
Also I could bring out a reaper if I was getting beatdown, and even put it in defence.  How convenient.  the only thing really bad about this guy is his attribute.  I really wanted it to be dark, then my mystic tomato could bring him out, and then bring out vamp.  This guy is a staple in a Zombie deck, and since Vampire is so abused now, some even have put in some other zombies just so they have reason to put this in.  I mean, really, not many zombies have a defense over 2000, except fusioh richie (but he requires Great dezard anyway), Beserk Dragon cause of requirements, and Despair from the dark cus of 3000 def.  Otherwise, of its zombie, it can come on out.
I'll rate this is a few different ways.

Zombie Deck:
Casual- 5
Tourney- 5
Draft- 5 (if working with zombies still)

Regular deck:
Casual with about 4 Zombies other then this- 4.1
Tourney with about 4 other Zombies then this- 3.5
Draft with a few zombies- 3.1

Artwork- 2.3  (they could of made him look of the dead, and more boney or something)

Conclusion- Zombie Staple and Vamps best friend

This is a very good rare I recommend using it with Patrician of darkness or even better vampire lord i say anyone using a vampire lord should throw this in their deck for speed. ill give it a
4/5 with vampire lord

 

 
Foozerkadoozer's  Review:

Pyramid turtle, possibly the greatest special summoned of all time. This guy makes Vampire lord and the whole gang maniacally strong.This little egyptian turtle can mean the difference between winning and losing. Dont get me wrong, though, because this card doesnt win games, it's the mon that it brings out that devastates. Time for a witty little ditty of a limerich:
They kicked your defenses out the door,
and then they wonder, will i beat anymore?
and when they think this is your final bout,
then they kill this turtle and realize that its just a faster way to get Vamp out.
I give the pyramid turtle a solid:
Tourney: 4.3
Casual: 4.0
Draft: 3.8 (not as good unless your drafting legacy of darkness or Dark Crisis)

 


   

Robert's Review:
 

Ummm.... Can u say fun??? Until V. Lord is restricted to one u can abuse it... Say, u go 1st set P. turtle end turn... They attack... u bring out Vampire lord...(Or any zombie...) And simply rule ur opponent from that time on... I love this card... U can summon some of the most powerful zombies...(Cant think of any...) But still same as mystic tomato (and other's...), this effect is sort of hard to pull off... U must get it destroyed in battle... But then again... When it's effect happens u can bring it out out a monster in either attack or defense mode... But overall, this card get's a 3.5/5 for the fact that it's effect is a little better than other retrevials...

 

 

 
Keith's Review:

Nice goatee. Anyway, this card is amazing in zombie decks. Since most monsters will be under 2000 anyways, it can basically get any zombie. Decks with 3 Vampire Lords will easily benefit with this card due to the fact that V-lord's a zombie and under 2000 atk. And it's not like it's attack is so high that your opponent will need monster removal.

Overall in zombie decks, this gets a 3.6, due to the fact that it has to be killed in battle.
 

Chase's Review:

Intro: It's alive... IT'S ALIVE!!!!

This card can be very annoying. Pulling out those Zombie cards and playing on the field is definitely only for zombie decks. Getting Spirit Reaper can be a lot of trouble. Plus you can pull almost all Zombie cards because most of them do have an effect less than 2000, so your going it have a fun time. If used properly, it could be very useful. I give this card a 3.5/ 5. 

 

 

 

 
Mikhail Kroik's Review:

 this card is amazing with Vampire Lord. You get to summon him much essayer, plus you don't have to draw him other. Plus even it's in your hand you can summon another Zombie in defense.

 
So for a Vampire lord deck I give it a 5/5 other then that I'll give it a 2.5
