These icons are relics from when the game wasn’t capable of the devastation it is today. Even the 1920 ATK could have been usable. Bringing that DEF to 2930 wouldn’t fix much, but fixes somethings.

You need to tribute out Pumpking, flip Castle without it getting destroyed, keep both online for 5 turns.Īnd Castle grants ATK/DEF but is itself a fiend so doesn’t even qualify for its own effect. Stupid kids, fans of the show, and noobs saw this as a steadily growing behemoth. At four more turns later, any zombies would be 1000 ATK stronger except Pumpking who would gain an extra 500 for Castle, boosting him to an “impressive” 3300 ATK. The idea was to field Pumpking and flip Castle and keep them both alive. This also saw its only appearance in Metal Raiders. He was meant to play alongside Castle of Dark Illusions (Panik’s ace… I guess? Crappy ace) which looks like this: For those interested, that was the Metal Raiders set (2002) and was in fact the only print it received. Pumpking was the ace of his zombie deck.Ī lv.6 – dark – zombie monster, he had reasonable stats for the time when he came out. Pumpking was recently featured in Duel Links along with the “zombie boy” Bonz as an October promo.
