Vampire's Curse
Attrib: Dark
Type: Zombie/Effect
Level:6
Atk: 2000
Def: 800
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 500 Life Points. If you do, Special Summon it during the next turn's Standby Phase. When this card is Special Summoned this way, it gains 500 ATK.

Notable Rulings:

-You pay 500 Life Points when "Vampire's Curse" is sent to the Graveyard. Paying 500 Life Points is a cost.

-The effect that increases "Vampire's Curse's" ATK starts a Chain when it is Special Summoned by its effect.

-"Vampire's Curse" is not Special Summoned with its effect if it is removed from play.




Can't remember that movie that just came out... in Blu Ray...

Also I think Celsi was in line waiting for that movie... because she spaced for last weeks CotD.

Ewww don't bring that up. anywho, this is cool but it's just not enough. It's only when destroyed by battle can you pay 500lp to ss it next turn. That's fine cause out becomes 2500 atk but too often would it not be destroyed by Valle. And there are monsters that bring themselves back for free. So it depends on what you're doing in your deck.

4/5 cause it's good but not that over the top card so yeah. It's good but a reason it's not everywhere

Back when Vampire Lord was a staple, this would've been a godly card.

It came out a loooong time after, back when Green Baboon just came out in OCG. It was still decent, but not as good.

Then when we finally get it, it's the DARK revolution. With 3 Dark Armeds, Grephers, A-Knights and the D-HERO engine around, this guy wasn't needed at all.

He has weak stats for a Level 6 monster, and an interesting revival ability. 2500 ATK is definitely something to consider, but having to die by battle pretty much kills this card's viability. With stuff over 2000 ATK dying by card effects rather than battle and so many cards that can perform removal without battling, Vampire's Curse isn't the best card around. There's a reason recruiters like Mystic Tomato aren't common anymore: stuff just doesn't die by battle unless you Creature Swap it.

Traditional: 1/10 Feeds CED, and that's about it. High levels on this format are Catapult Turtle and DMoC exclusively.
Advanced: 5/10 It's not bad, but its effect is outclassed nowadays. If Vampire Lord doesn't stand a chance, this guy shouldn't even try.
Art: 9/10 Awesome.
