Neither of these units confer a direct advantage at the moment of the ride, but unlike Ringmaster, Lark Pidgeon is an increase in advantage because he provides an extra unit to guard with. However, the Ichibyoshi from the same set as well as more modern units that are currently active in the English game like Kyrph and Vortimer directly add to advantage, dimming the Ringmaster's spotlight.īecause of this characteristic, the Ringmaster and his soulcharge is sometimes eschewed for EB03's Lark Pidgeon, a grade 0 unit that can be superior called from the soul to the guardian circle when his cardfighter has no cards in hand. Barcgal, Conroe and Mecha Trainer are the exceptions rather than the rule here, because Barcgal only offers the potential to trade himself in for the same advantage through Blaster Blade's counterblast, while Conroe and Mecha Trainer are the first units of their kind to genuinely increase advantage with no caveats.
Taken inside his original context of Descent of the King of Knights leading into Demonic Lord Invasion, this is not so bad because opposing FVGs are likewise intended to exit the field.
Additionally, because he doesn't add any cards to the hand or field, and most all soulcharges are one-for-one, Hades Ringmaster puts Pale Moon cardfighters at an inherent disadvantage against their contemporaries. The key weakness of both Hades Ringmaster and Skull Juggler is that they cannot specify which units to soulcharge and so will frequently add trigger units to the soul-to a soul-based deck, these dead charges are anathema. Because this skill always activates, this makes the manager consistent the cards he soulcharges are a different story. Unlike with those units however, Ringmaster's skill will still activate regardless of which unit his cardfighter rides. Much as with Fullbau-Javelin, this promotes added stress on the redraw to bring out a specific grade 1.
The ideal unit to ride over the Ringmaster with is Skull Juggler, who performs a soulcharge when ridden or called. Under the right circumstances, the clan can even guard from the soul.įor its first vanguard, Hades Ringmaster soulcharges 1 when ridden over with a Pale Moon unit, setting up for their swap-from-soul play style. This can come as a surprise to fighters not familiar with the mechanics, but Pale Moon's unique soul skills allow it to act with more cards under their control than they actually hold.
