Leviair Plants..??

Leviair Plants..??

Today is the day that people who have been only looking at the new Dark World support cards an article dedicated to the Plant decks among us again. Seeing that some of the new XYZ monsters released in Generation Force are considered highly abusive. I am mainly going to talk about the most abusive new XYZ monster that was released; Leviair the Sea Dragon. People have been posting on forums that this specific card would make Dark World decks highly effective and some even wish to use the word broken. I myself look at plants and say that this card makes them broken, the reason why I say this is because of the following combo in plant decks.


Let’s say you open a bit messed up but still average, a hand like that would be something like this: 2 Reborn Tengu, 1 Pot of Avarice, 1 One for One, 1 Lonefire Blossom and Mirror Force.

From here on out you have to realize that you can change this hand dramatically while making your board fill up with advantage creators like T.G. Hyper Librarian, Formula Synchron and Leviair the Sea Dragon. How do we do that is as followed:

Quote :

1: Activate One for One, discarding a copy of Reborn Tengu.
2: Special summon Spore from your deck.
3: Summon Lonefire Blossom from your hand, and declare to use its effect tributing Spore, and tribute spore.
4: Special summon your 2nd Lonefire Blossom from your deck, preferably in defense mode.
5: Use the effect of your 2nd Lonefire Blossom and tribute the first Lonefire Blossom.
6: Special summon Dandylion from your deck by the effect of the 2nd Lonefire Blossom, preferably in defense mode.

Your field now is: 1 face-up defense Lonefire Blossom and a face-up defense Dandylion.
Your hand is: 1 Reborn Tengu, Pot of Avarice and Mirror Force.

Quote :

7: You overlay the Lonefire Blossom and Dandylion for your exceed summon of Leviair the Sea Dragon.
8: Special summon Spore from your graveyard by removing the 1st Lonefire Blossom from your graveyard, making your Spore a level 4 tuner monster.
9: Detach Dandylion for the effect of Leviair the Sea Dragon to special the 1st Lonefire Blossom from your Banished zone. Now also you get the 2 fluff tokens from Dandylion, since it was send to the graveyard.

Your field looks like this: 1 Leviair the Sea Dragon ( 1 XYZ material ), 1 Spore ( level 4 ) 1 Lonefire Blossom ( with the ability of using its effect ) and 2 Fluff Tokens.
Your hand: 1 Reborn Tengu, Mirror Force and Pot of Avarice.
From here on out it all depending on the situation you are in, but let’s say it is your opening turn and the first turn of the duel. I myself would go as followed.

Quote :

1: Tribute Lonefire Blossom for himself to special summon Glow up Bulb from your deck, preferably in defense mode.
2: Synchro for T.G. Hyper Librarian using Spore ( level 4 ) and a Fluff token as its materials. Special summon T.G. Hyper Librarian from your extra deck.
3: Synchro for Formula Synchron using Glow up Bulb and your remaining Fluff token. Special summon Formula Synchron and draw 1 card for Librarian and 1 for Formula.

Now your field is: Leviair the Sea Dragon ( 1800 atk, with 1 XYZ material ), T.G. Hyper Librarian ( 2400 atk) and Formula Synchron ( 1500 def, Tuner for Accel if needed ).

Your hand increased to 5 by drawing via Librarian and Formula. Making your hand loss to -1. But your field increased by 3, which itself is a pretty impressive field. Now in our example opening hand we also had Pot of Avarice, and via this combo you have precisely 5 monsters in your graveyard ( Glow up Bulb, Dandylion, Reborn Tengu, Spore and Lonefire Blossom ). So if you wish to go further, you could activate Pot of Avarice and make your hand come back to six cards. So basically you didn’t lose hand advantage but gained a pretty impressive field.

Now let’s say you open pretty broken, something like this: 1 One for One, 1 Dandylion, 1 Lonefire Blossom, Book of Moon, Dark Hole and Limit Reverse.

Quote :

1: Activate One for One, discarding Dandylion. Getting Spore of the deck and 2 fluff tokens since Dandylion was send to the Graveyard.
2: Summon your Lonefire Blossom, activate its effect. Tribute Spore to special summon your 2nd Lonefire Blossom from the deck.
3: Activate the effect of your 2nd Lonefire Blossom, tributing a Fluff Token. To special Glow up Bulb from the deck.

Your Field now is: 2 Lonefire Blossom ( 1 def, 1 atk ), 1 Fluff token (def), 1 Glow up Bulb ( def ).
From here on out you have a lot of options, but once more it’s your opening turn and the first turn of the duel, so I would go like this:

Quote :

1: Overlay the 2 Lonefire Blossom’s to exceed summon Leviair the Sea Dragon.
2: Activate Spore effect, banishing Dandylion. Special summon Spore to the field in defense position as a level 4 tuner.
3: Detach a Lonefire Blossom for the effect of Leviair the Sea Dragon to special summon Dandylion from your banished zone. Special summon Dandylion.

Your field now: Leviair the Sea Dragon ( 1 XYZ material ) Spore ( level 4 ), Dandylion, Glow up Bulb and a Fluff Token. So as you can probably see, you have a lot of options to go with, but seeing I am playing I will go by the following moves.

Quote :

1: Synchro Summon for T.G. Hyper Librarian using the Fluff Token, Dandylion and Glow up Bulb as your materials. Special Summon Librarian from the extra deck and special summon 2 Fluff Tokens.
2: Synchro for yet another Librarian using the level 4 Spore and a Fluff Token. Special summon your 2nd T.G. Hyper Librarian from your extra deck, draw 1 card for the effect of the 1st Librarian.
3: Activate Bulb’s effect, mill your top card and special summon Glow up Bulb from your grave.
4: Synchro summon for Formula Synchron using Glow up Bulb and the remaining Fluff Token.
5: Special summon Formula Synchron from the extra deck and draw 3 cards ( 1 for the 1st Librarian, 1 for the 2nd Librarian and 1 for Formula).

Your hand was halved since you opened your move by using 3 cards, you now have 7 cards in your hand, with a field of 2 T.G. Hyper Librarian, 1 Formula Synchron and Leviair the Sea Dragon ( 1 XYZ material ). So by using just 3 cards of your opening six you now made those 3 into a plus 5. Total gain 8 – total loss of cards= 5. Now of course I could say you also draw into more advantage creators like Monster Reborn and Pot of Avarice or protection cards like Effect Veiler, Solemn Warning/Judgment but there is no telling what you will draw, but one thing is certain; It’s never a bad thing.
Now you could go even further and Delta Accel Synchro into T.G. Halberd Cannon or if you and your opponent agreed on using OCG cards; Shooting Quasar Dragon. Which equals winning.

This all was made possible by the effect of Leviair the Sea Dragon, so yea Leviair will be good in the new Dark World decks, but it will certainly be equally helpful in plant deck. As if plants weren’t good enough already, as a beloved plant user I have to admit it wasn’t needed but it surely is welcome.

So let us all be happy with Leviair the Sea Dragon and let us abuse it in Plant decks as long as we can shall we.

YES!!! YES!!!! I used this in ma DW, sooo much monsta spam!!! and this works wonders with an RFG'ed rabbit

Definately a lot you can do with him, even in plants he's rather helpful. I just hate how low his atk is though. Would you suggest...a Leviair and Leviathan Dragon in a Tour Guide Plant build? Or perhaps even more than that?

Leviar infernities all the way! make an article bout that if you can

uhmmm certainly seems like a good suggestion Shadow, will try to do it when the new list is offcially applied, since I feel like that Infernities might be getting their top tier status back.

As for Harper, with Leviathan you immediatly get your sangan, and with Leviair it is better to do one of the combo's seeing you don't need extra cards for them, but if you have to use Tour/Sangan for it then yes obviously. I myself have both Leviathan and LEviair in my Plant deck. Same for Roach and Utopia.

With only 1 Debris, 1 Formula, and 1 Lonefire (IF that really is the banlist) that should free up some space for the rank 4s. I believe plants will still pwn this format, they're highly adaptable. Heavy helps a lot too, and it gives an excuse for SLR. It's always helpful to have a random Stardust in plants xD. Yeah I was thinking that bc Leviathan is bigger for more generic use but Leviair is good for more comboing purposes.

So hell a lot to read this ._. I know how does it work due to the fact I am playing with Plants for the last 2 formats, but hell, this is increasing its speed like hell and gotta admit that this card will do its purposes in the upcoming format if TCG list will be exactly the same as it is in OCG now.

Well when looking at the new list and the possibilities I have to say I am not going to plants like we are used to )( I mean the last 3 formats ). Probably Skill Drain Plants or something maybe even Monarch Plants again ( seeing we got some speed back from the Destiny Engine ). Obviously Lonefire at 1 hurts and kinda sucks, and Debris I have too say I don't find it such a big deal, I mean sure Debris opens up a lot of plays but now we have a good excuse again to run Quickdraw Synchron and perhaps only Junk Doppel. But then again Librarian and Formula are also limited so I will just have to think about it.

But I am certainly not giving p on Plants.

Yeah ik what you mean. We have a grand total of 4 plants for the engine now, so it'll be different for sure. Which also brings up the question, is Spore even worth it with only 3 targets (2 if you count how you usually use him)? Spore is so pro that maybe it's time to add more plants to the engine, yet maybe it isn't worth adding random stuff for just Spore. Dandy and Bulb will always be good in synchro spam decks, even just by themselves. I agree it may be time for Junk Doppel to shine again, partially because Tengu has a good chance of being hit in tcg. I'll probably open a plant thread when the list officially hits tcg. As for Librarian I honestly don't care much. Sure you could do more with 2 or 3, but he's still abusable and at 1 he frees up space. To me it means that I'll only even out instead of plus when summoning Quasar

well we can go one step back, seeing Prio rule is going to hit TCG a well, so I guess Mystic Tomato is back and maybe even Tytanial. I mean for the extra XYZ summons ( Tomato lv 4 which is a floather ). Tengu lv 4 ( which is a floather ) do I hear porno anyone..? lol

Anyway combine stuff like that with the Fertilizer and/or Mark of the Rose and you have control. Tomato for Spore making Spore lv 5 synch with Dandylion ( Startard ) and 2 tokens do bulb and formula and you have your shooting again. Not to mention you still might wanna run that lonely debris. So all in all plants just need some thinking and tweaking.
