Beastly Promotion?

Lately I thought about Marauding Captain's triple availability, and as I looked at some other decks I wondered this......

Is it a good time for Manticore of Darkness's to be put to 3's?
Are there still reasons it should stay at 2 currently?

[Princess of Burn]

Manticore has a one turn kill around it. If anything it should be put at 1

[Ordyh]

Manticore does NOT need to be in 3s. If anything, it needs to go to 1. Why? Well lets see, 2 Manticore + 1 Card of Safe Return = Exodia.

The infinite loop will be easy to pull off after SOI, they might actually end up restricting it.

EDIT: Wow, I said the same thing everyone else said.

Itr might not be a bad idea, I wouldn't mind a decent new deck type.

Can U say EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE OTK, nah maybe restrict it.

But there isn't really anything to search them with, since Painful & Witch are banned. What else is there?

Say hello to SOI's, Generation Change.

Trap - Normal
Destroy one face-up monster on your field. Add the card with the same name as the destroyed card from your deck to hand.

1 Manticore, 1 Trap, and 1 Spell = Exodia OTK...

Yeah, Manticore should defiantely be at 1 soon.

Well even with the trap card ready, you're still relying on getting the Manticore in your hand/field first. There's just no super-easy way to do that.

What? There's no quick and easy way to get a 1 tribute monster that has a built in self-recursion effect that can be used infinite times (so long as you have resources) onto the field, while running multiples of it, and up to 3 trap cards to kick off the combo, along with up to 3 copies of the continuos spell card that let's you draw out your entire deck? I'm going to have to disagree. The trickiest part is getting one of the 2 tribute monsters from your deck, and since people have no problems drawing out their 1 Jinzo or 1 Mobius when they need it, this is hardly even a problem. There are cards like Monster Gate and Magical Merchent to speed this whole process along, not to mention Card Destruction, Cyber Jar, Morphing Jar, Re-load, and the soon to be released Magical Hammer.

Considering that the only decks that would run multiple Manticores would be built specifically to abuse the hell out of their effects, getting Manticore to the field would never be a problem for them while they have multiple copies.
