Dartz Paradox

[DarthMauler64]

I was using a Dartz Proxy Deck against my friend when we ran into a problem. He took that statue arm that's attack strength is always 300 attack points greater than the monster it attacks. He attacked my mirror knight, whoose attack strength is equal to the monster it battles. So what happens?

[BlackFireDragon]

nothing because they Aren't Real Cards!!! get a life

[RedEyes Black Dragon]

He means proxy cards! Anyways, I guess since the ATK points of the arm are 300 more and Mirror Knight is always the same, it would just keep increasing to infinity. Then they both die. Thats what I think.

[Shizzle]

I dont know, maybe the mirror knight would die because it's effect activates second because the turn players effect activates first making a chain....
1.the cookie jar thing raisses its attack by 300
2.the mirror knight copies

REsolves backwards

2.mirror knights attack raises
1.the cookie jar thing raisses its attack by 300

Im bored so im jsut guessing... im prolly wrong

from what I understand, the mirror Knights with sheilds can't die in battle, so the weird freaky doll's arm would die and the doll would be terrible to look at Symmetry wise.

[Shizzle]

I didn't know they couldn't die in battle...... Wait they can can't they yugi just didn't want to destroy his friends..... I dont know...

[nightspade]

No, when Dartz had the mirror knights attack for the first time, before their helmets crumbled, none of them died.

[Zandor12]

When a Mirror Knight would be destroyed, its Mirror is destroyed instead. The Orichalcos (sp?) Mirror Calling card Dartz played made it so that the Mirror Knights would regenerate their shields whenever they're destroyed, effectively making the knights invincible. Once Kaiba destroyed the Mirror Calling with Ring of Destruction, the Mirror Knights still had their shields but couldn't regenerate them, so from that point a Mirror Knight would take two attacks to kill; one for the shield and the other for the actual Knight. The helmets just broke for dramatic flare.

I'm guessing that in the anime the cards would increase to infinity atk, but what Shizzle guessed sounds like the ruling they would implement on those cards in real life to prevent the infinite loop, of course assuming that they would be insane enough to release the orichalcos cards without balancing their absurd brokeness. Seriously, Malevolence is the only one they wouldn't have to change. </random whining>

As long as the central statue, Orichalcos Shunurous, is on the field, Orichalcos Dexia and Alisterous cannot be destroyed. So, their attacks would eventually equal out, and the battle would end with neither monster being destroyed.

Not quite... when they're in battle, the ATK points are taken from Shuneros, and added to Dexia and Aristeros (whichever one is in battle). Once Shuneros is down to 0, Dexia and Aristeros don't have ANY attack power at all, so their controller would lose lifepoints every time they were in battle. Thus, a Mirror Knight that attacks would be able to reduce Shuneros to 0 with one attack. Though the Mirror Knight would be destroyed (unless Mirror Knight Calling is on the field), it would have beaten Shuneros, Dexia, and Aristeros in just one hit (the trio would remain on the field, but they'd have 0 ATK and DEF).

Of course, once Shuneros is down to 0, its controller can Special Summon another monster... Jyashin Ge, a creature that has an infinite ATK and DEF. But its controller has to discard ten cards from their deck to the graveyard each time it attacks, so if someone is patient (and has enough defense monsters), they can run Jyashin Ge's controller out of cards and win in just a few turns.
