You already gave up 3 monsters to summon this, so I don’t know how I feel about giving up 2 more to destroy your opponent’s board and THEN adding the restriction of this not attacking. This card allows you to Tribute 2 monsters in order to destroy every monster your opponent controls and Obelisk cannot attack the turn you use that effect. At least it will stay for a turn after you Special Summon it, and at least it can be Special Summoned, but this just makes Tribute Summoning even more preferred. Once per turn, during the End Phase, this monster sends itself to the graveyard if it was Special Summoned. It’s untargetable by any sort of effects whatsoever, which is ok protection to have, but I’d kinda hope a God Card would of had stronger protection overall. Also upon Normal Summon, cards and effects cannot be activated, which makes the summon even safer. The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated, which you wouldn’t want to happen after you had to give up 3 monsters for it. It requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon it and you can’t Set, which makes sense for a God to require more to summon compared to any other high-Level monster. Very great stats overall, but the attribute and type are the nichest of niche in this entire game as I could count on a hand or two the cards with the attribute and/or type out of 10,000 cards. Obelisk is a Level 10 DIVINE Divine-Beast with 4000 ATK and DEF. It’s a new year and a new decade, and with three days left this week, why not look at some classic Egyptian Gods? We’ll start off 2020 with Obelisk the Tormentor. None of the Egypitan Gods could be as strong as they are in the anime, they wouldn’t be fair if they were, but as is Obelisk has been used in several decks throughout his time, whether it be as a tribute for something like Fog King to gain ATK, an OTK deck, tribute to deal damage to opponent, or its own deck. I wonder if it would be more playable if the destruction effect was like the anime and also deal 4000LP damage. Even without the effect you have a 4000ATK beatstick that requires your opponent to use a mass removal effect or get over it with stronger ATK. Scapegoat in the End Phase, pop 2 on your turn to destroy all your opponents monsters, link the two goats away for a Link and get more monsters on the field. The Raigeki effect is balanced with your inability to attack with Obelisk that turn, but you can still attack with other monsters. If you Special Summon it you can link it away before it leaves the End Phase, giving you something if your attack is blocked if you summon and attack with it. No tricks in summoning it, you’ve gotta use three, which I like, it shouldn’t be easy to summon something that can’t be targeted and has 4000ATK. Set ATK/DEF is beneficial vs Slifer and Ra. Obelisk the Tormentor was the first god card we saw in the show and his legal version doesn’t disappoint. Happy New Year and Happy New Decade! We’re kicking the New Year off with a stretch of the Egyptian Gods.
