"'''Earthbound Immortal'''", known as "'''Earthbound God'''" ({{Ruby|地|じ}}{{Ruby|縛|ばく}}{{Ruby|神|しん}} ''Jibakushin'') in Japan, is an [[archetype]] used by the [[Dark Signer]]s in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, composed of 7 [[Level]] 10 [[DARK]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] with various [[Type]]s. It is a sub-[[archetype]] of the "[[Earthbound]]" [[archetype]].
−
 
+
They are among the largest monsters seen in the anime; dwarfing humans and being comparable to massive buildings in size.
−
'''Earthbound Immortals''', known as '''Earthbound Gods''' in the OCG and Japanese [[anime]], are an [[archetype]] of [[Level 10]] [[DARK]] [[monster]]s. All of them have the common [[effect]] of being able to [[attack]] the opponent [[directly]], and cannot be selected as an attack target. They have been used by the [[Dark Signers]] in the anime.
+
==Design==
−
 
+
The "Earthbound Immortals" are based on the [[wikipedia:Nazca Lines|Nazca Lines]]. Each of them are pictured rising from their corresponding Line and their form matches the being they represent, as well as their Type. The "Earthbound Immortals" also each have a color of the rainbow.
−
Being that all but one of them have high original ATK, they are often able to easily and brutally thrash opponents. However, this power comes with 2 drawbacks:
+
When they are Summoned in the anime (and some video games), a beating stone heart appears in the sky, absorbing souls in the vicinity if this is the first time the "Earthbound Immortal" has been Summoned, followed by a flash of light revealing their full form, which emerges from the ground. When the Dark Signer is defeated, the souls their "Earthbound Immortal" took for their Summon are returned.
−
 
+
==History==
−
*Any given player can only [[control]] 1 "Earthbound Immortal" at a time - and
+
In the anime, the "Earthbound Immortals" are evil incarnations that were sealed in the netherworld by the [[Crimson Dragon]] and the [[Signer]]s 5000 years before the events of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. They were released from their seals as a result of the [[Zero Reverse]] incident. They serve as the ace monsters of the [[Dark Signer]]s, possessing them to serve as gatekeepers of [[Old Ener-D]], which serves as the entrance to the netherworld.
−
*an "Earthbound Immortal" will immediately [[destroy]] itself when no [[Field Spell Card]] is in play.
 
−
 
 
−
"Earthbound Immortals" also have a small but very potent series of support cards that allow them to further oppress the opponent. Their artworks all feature 1 of them emerging from a hole in the ground from which blue flames are emerging.
 
−
 
 
−
==Backstory==
 
−
The '''Earthbound Immortals''' are incarnations of evil entities that were sealed in the [[Nazca Lines]] by the [[Dragon Star]] and its servants 5000 years before the events of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]].
 
−
 
 
−
Each of these "Evil Gods" are shaped in the form of a corresponding Nazca Line and each member of the [[Dark Signers]] wear striped robes bearing the color of their corresponding "Earthbound Immortals".
 
−
 
 
−
Their colors come from Wiphala, Banner of the Inca Empire, with only white missing from the range of currently known colors. In addition, each color of the "Earthbound Immortals" is also a color of the rainbow.  
 
−
 
 
−
The "Earthbound Immortals" serve as to the antithesis to the [[Crimson Dragon]] and the [[Signer Dragons]]. As after a millennium of confinement, these monstrous beings were released after the [[Ener-D]] accident occurred, separating [[New Domino City]] into 2 halves and creating the district which is now known as the [[Satellite]].
 
−
 
 
−
It was a mistake with terrible repercussions. The power generator, which was supposed to spin clockwise to generate an infinite positive power supply instead it spun counter clockwise, creating infinite negative energy and resulting in the occurrence of the "[[Zero Reverse]] Effect" which ultimately opened a hole to the underworld, allowing the "Earthbound Immortals" to escape.
 
−
 
 
−
Further information on this controversial topic was later revealed that [[Roman Goodwin]], who, upon learning of the 5,000 year battle between the Crimson Dragon and the "Evil Gods" that were sealed away, was taken over by their dark, controlling powers.
 
−
 
 
−
In order to resurrect himself as the future leader of the [[Dark Signers]], he killed himself by overloading the Ener-D Reactor, thus causing the horrible incident. In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 109]], it is revealed that this event was actually manipulated and controlled by the [[Three Emperors of Yliaster]].
 
−
 
 
−
It has been revealed that each corresponding "Earthbound Immortal" stands for a codename relating to the original Ener-D Reactor.
 
−
 
 
−
While [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]] stands for the codename referring to the Ener-D Reactor itself, the other 4 Gods' names each stand for a codename for each of the reactor's control units. [[Chacu Challhua]] and [[Wiraqocha Rasca]] do not have control units.
 
−
 
 
−
The archetype name "Earthbound Immortal" is based on the corresponding [[Nazca Lines]] that each were imprisoned in. Each "Earthbound Immortal" is featured rising from the depths of the "Underworld" and each of them are shown with a different ground texture on their corresponding game card.
 
−
 
 
−
They are polar opposites of the [[Signer Dragons]], as they fight as the servants of the [[King of the Netherworld]], which is mentioned by [[Roman]] before he dies. This is similar to how the Signer Dragons fight for the [[Crimson Dragon]].
 
−
 
 
−
In episode 111, [[Greiger]] told [[Yusei]] and [[Jack]] that the "Earthbound Immortals" "could be used again by another evil." Whether this is really foreshadowing or not remains unknown.
 
−
 
 
−
All of them have been released in OCG and TCG, except [[Red Nova]], who exists not in his original form, but as [[Red Nova Dragon]].
 
−
 
 
 
==Members==
 
==Members==
−
Each [[Dark Signer]] possesses 1 of the "Earthbound Immortals", with it being their [[signature card]]. In the episode where the ancient battle was seen, the 5 "original" "Earthbound Immortals" were seen battling against the [[Crimson Dragon]], its servants and a condor geoglyph was seen foreshadowing the appearance of [[Rex Goodwin]]'s [[Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca|Wiraqocha Rasca]].  
+
===Original===
−
 
+
Seven "Earthbound Immortals" exist, each possessing a rainbow color. Each are based on one of the [[wikipedia:Nazca Lines|Nazca Lines]]. Their names are based on [[wikipedia:Quechuan languages|Quechua]] words, usually for the subject depicted in the corresponding Nazca Line.
−
2 additional "Earthbound Immortals" were introduced throughout the course of the story; after [[Greiger]] was transformed into a Dark Signer, a 6th "Earthbound Immortal", [[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]], was given to him.

Long after the fight against the Dark Signers, [[Jack Atlas]] acquires the power of the last and strongest "Earthbound Immortal", [[Red Nova]], previously absent because the Dark Signers did not dare attempt to harness its brutal power, and combines it with [[Red Dragon Archfiend]], represented in the card [[Red Nova Dragon]].

[[Jack Atlas]] managed to seal the strongest "Earthbound Immortal", [[Red Nova]], into a card via [[Blazing Soul]]. By merging the Crimson Devil with his "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", Jack created "[[Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon]]". Subsequently, an ''[[OCG]]''-original evolved [[counterpart]] of "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" was later released: "[[Red Supernova Dragon]]".

The "Earthbound Immortals" are known to to be nearly unbeatable, since their [[effect]]s [[negate]] any chance of a counter [[attack]] by a [[duelist]].

This is a major weakness which until [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 050|episode 050]] no one had taken advantage of. (Mainly because most duels involving the Immortals were [[Turbo Duel]]s, so the field spell couldn't be [[destroy]]ed.)

[[Luna]] and [[Leo]] are the only ones who have used it against them. By removing the field spell, they were able to destroy [[Devack]]'s "Earthbound Immortal". The field problem is a major issue in a [[Turbo Duel]] since it can never be destroyed until the Duel ends.

[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] is one of only 2 of the [[Signer Dragons]] that can also destroy Field Spell Cards by its own effect and it can gain [[Life Points]] for it as well. The other is [[Black Rose Dragon]], who can destroy all cards on the field when it is [[Synchro Summon]]ed.

The problem with [[Black Rose Dragon]] is that if a card like [[Field Barrier]] is in play and protecting the Field Spell from being destroyed, then it cannot be removed from the field by the effect of [[Black Rose Dragon]]. This was shown in episode 39 in the duel between [[Misty Tredwell]] and [[Akiza Izinski]].

All "Earthbound Immortals" share a few similar effects: only 1 of them can be on the field, the opponent can never attack them, and they can attack the opponent directly.

(In the [[anime]], if the only [[monster]] on the player's field is an "Earthbound Immortal" then the opponent can wage a [[direct attack]], as shown in ([[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046|episode 046]]) and they can attack the opponent directly (the anime also gives them [[Spell]] and [[Trap]] immunity).  
+
==Effects==
−
 
+
All "Earthbound Immortal" monsters share the following effect(s):
−
They are destroyed instantly if there is no face-up Field Spell (the anime destroys them at the [[End Phase]] and just negates their effects until then).
+
''There can only be 1 "Earthbound Immortal" [[monster]] on the [[field]]. If there is no face-up [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] on the field, [[destroy]] this card. Your opponent's monsters cannot [[Attack target|target]] this card for [[attack]]s. This card can attack [[Direct attack|directly]].''
−
 
+
In the anime, they instead all shared the following effect(s):
−
Aside from those, each one has a unique effect, most likely to counter or match the strategy the [[duelist]] each card's [[control]]ler faced.
+
''While this card is [[face-up]] on the [[field]], "Earthbound Immortal" [[Monster Card|monsters]] cannot be [[Summon]]ed. If there is no face-up [[Field Spell Card]] on the field, the following effects are [[negate]]d, and this card is [[destroy]]ed during the [[End Phase]]: ● This card can [[attack]] your opponent [[Direct attack|directly]]. ● This card cannot be attacked by your opponent's monsters. ● This card is [[unaffected]] by the effects of your opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s.''
−
 
+
In the anime, the "Earthbound Immortals'" immunity to attacks, ability to attack directly, and immunity to Spell and Trap Cards is presented as them being incorporeal; [[Yusei Fudo]] attempted to defend his [[LP]] with "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" from "[[Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu]]", but "Stardust" flew right through the monster's outstretched hand. This is also presented as a weakness—in the anime (in contrast to the ''TCG''/''OCG''), if a player only controls an "Earthbound Immortal", their opponent can attack them directly (such as when "Stardust Dragon" passed through the body of "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Uru]]" to attack directly).
−
In the real card game, if an "Earthbound Immortal" is the only monster on your opponent's side of the field, you cannot [[declare]] an attack at all unless it's a [[Direct Attacker]], creating a huge advantage for the controller of the "Earthbound Immortal" and making it a one-sided battle.
+
==Playing style==
−
 
+
The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters are very powerful and have effects that range from inflicting Effect Damage to your opponent while locking their Battle Phase ("[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]]"), to taking control of an opposing monster, as in the case of "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru|Uru]]". Also, all of them can attack their opponent directly and cannot be targeted for attacks.
−
In the anime, whenever an "Earthbound Immortal" is [[Summon]]ed, the bodies and souls of anyone trapped inside of a geoglyph are sacrificed for its summoning. The sacrificed individuals turn into energy of the same purple color as a [[dark mark]], which is then absorbed into a floating stone of characteristic shape.
+
As powerful as they are, they have some drawbacks: there cannot be more than 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field at the same time, and they are all destroyed if there is no Field Spell Card active.
−
 
+
If "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" is Tributed to Tribute Summon an "Earthbound Immortal" monster, it prevents it from being destroyed by card effects (including its own). Alternately, "[[Earthbound Linewalker]]" can be used to protect "Earthbound Immortal" monsters. "[[March of the Monarchs]]" will also stop them being destroyed by their own effects, as will the effect of "[[Number 66: Master Key Beetle]]". In an emergency situation, "[[Skill Drain]]" can also prevent them from destroying themselves.  
−
A beam of purple light then descends from the geoglyph in the sky, destroys the stone and strikes the ground, causing the "Earthbound Immortal" to rise from the "Netherworld". This has occurred in both [[Satellite]] and [[New Domino City]];
+
Their strategy basically relies on attacking directly and dealing huge damage every turn; if they are protected by cards like "[[Safe Zone]]" or "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]", there are few ways of stopping them. "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" also works well in this Deck, as it can protect itself while boosting your monsters' ATK by 500. "[[Terraforming]]", and even "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]" if used carefully or alongside "[[Field Barrier]]"/"[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]", can assist in making sure you always have Field Spell(s). "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon]]" can also be included to increase draw power as this deck relies on Field Spells.
−
 
+
The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters can all be Summoned easily, due to having no restrictions on Special Summoning them (except the field-unique condition).
−
* Any person trapped within its respective geoglyph is sacrificed in this way and for the moment it is unknown what happens to the sacrificed people.

===Recommended cards===

{{Decklist|Recommended cards
−
* During [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046|the first duel between Yusei and Roman]], it is revealed that an "Earthbound Immortal" will continue to harvest the souls of anyone not protected by the [[Mark of the Dragon]] as long as it stays on the [[field]], as shown when [[Martha]] was sacrificed to [[Earthbound Immortal Uru|Uru]] when she fell into the geoglyph even though Uru had already been summoned.
 
−
 
 
−
* There are, however, several conditions under which a person is not absorbed into an "Earthbound Immortal":
 
−
 
 
−
** That person is dueling.
 
−
** That person is a [[Signer]] or approximate to a Signer.
 
−
** The "Earthbound Immortal" does not use human sacrifices, as in the following cases:
 
−
** [[Cusillu]] used the souls of the [[Duel Monsters]] spirits.
 
−
** [[Chacu Challhua]] used the souls of the people from [[Greiger]]'s village.
 
−
 
 
−
Furthermore on the series, there had been speculation about if these people could really come back if the [[Dark Signers]] are defeated.
 
−
 
 
−
After Greiger's defeat, the souls sacrificed for [[Chacu Challhua]] were indeed returned to life and when [[Devack]] lost the souls of the Duel Monsters spirits were returned back into the [[Duel Monsters Spirit World|Spirit World]]. The spirits of the villagers were shown to be suffering inside of the Chacu Challhua during the [[duel]] between Greiger and [[Crow]].
 
−
 
 
−
Apparently these Gods are fueled by whatever reason of anger and revenge their corresponding Dark Signer carries. However for the same reason it appears that they disapprove the moment that 1 of these individuals no longer carries on this hatred.
 
−
 
 
−
And so they can interfere by taking possession of the Dark Signers body as it occurred to Greiger when he dueled against Crow, after he learns that they are actually the ones that were behind his village's destruction. Wanting to stop the duel, Greiger's body is taken over by [[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]]'s spirit.
 
−
 
 
−
This also happens in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 059|the duel between Jack and Carly]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 061|the Duel between Akiza and Misty]].  
 
−
 
 
−
However, if the Dark Signer is strong enough, they can maintain contact with other people (Greiger literally breaks the control for a few seconds, [[Carly]] connected through [[Majestic Dragon]] and [[Misty]] used card [[Attack]]s as means of communication.)
 
−
 
 
−
[[Rex Goodwin]] doesn't seem to apply in these cases. It can be also noted that each Dark Signer except Misty had 1 of the "Earthbound Immortals" support cards, except [[Roman Goodwin|Roman]] who has several.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]], [[Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu|Aslla piscu]] and [[Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca|Wiraqocha Rasca]] are the only three Immortals that are not the same [[Type]] as the Decks played by their respective [[Dark Signers]].
 
−
 
 
−
In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 112|Episode 112]], it is discovered there was a lost "Earthbound Immortal", "The Crimson Devil," [[Red Nova]]. The strongest of all of them who was defeated prior to the ancient battle by the [[Crimson Dragon]] itself in a 1-on-1 single contest.
 
−
 
 
−
Red Nova's [[Familiar of Red Nova|servant]] planned on using Jack Atlas as a sacrifice to resurrect his sleeping master. Interestingly, it stated that the battle between Red Nova and the Crimson Dragon occurred 10,000 years ago, which throws up questions as to when the Ancient Battle truly occurred, because 10,000 years would place the battle roughly around the same time as the [[Atlantis|Atlantis conflict]]. (In any case, is important to remember that 5D's took place in a future, which any of the main characters of the other series took place, so, the battle with Red Nova took place after the battle of Atlantis.)

==Playing Style==
 
−
"Earthbound Immortal" based [[Deck]]s focus on [[Summon]]ing 1 of the many different "Earthbound Immortal" [[monster]]s, and quickly finishing a [[duel]].
 
−
 
 
−
The main weakness of this Deck is keeping a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] in play. This can be overcome with cards like [[Field Barrier]] and [[Magic Reflector]] (or [[Magical Citadel of Endymion]] even on its own).

Since the "Earthbound Immortals" are all [[DARK]] monsters, they can easily be [[Tribute Summon]]ed with cards like [[Double Coston]], [[Fires of Doomsday]] and [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]].  
 
−
 
 
−
Their high [[ATK]] points and the ability to [[attack directly]], while not being able to be [[select]]ed as an attack target, make powerful attackers but are still vulnerable to [[Magic Cylinder]] and [[Draining Shield]]. An attack lock-down can be made using their effects.
 
−
 
 
−
An "[[Earthbound Immortal]]" can be used in almost any Deck that relies on a Field Spell Card.

Also, by the effect of [[Nightmare Archfiends]], the opponent will lose 800 MORE life points per token. (Total damage = 2500 + 700* + 2400** + 2400 = 8000**)

===Uru Deck===
 
−
====OTK====

1.[[Activate]] [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]].
 
−
 
−
2.Pay 2000 Life Points (or [[tribute]] 2 [[monster]]s) to [[summon]] [[Earthbound Immortal Uru]].

5.[[Attack directly]] twice. ((3000+1000*)+(3000+1000*))=8000*
 
−
 
−
This * means that the value can be bigger.
 
−
 
−
You must have [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]] on the [[field]] even if you tribute 2 monsters to summon [[Uru]]; or at least 1 more [[Spell]] or [[Trap]] [[face-down]] to use this [[OTK]].
 
−
 
−
[[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] takes off 500 [[ATK]] points. If you have [[Mage Power]] and [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] on [[Uru]] and no other [[Spell]]s or [[Trap]]s, [[Uru]] will have 3000 + 1000 - 500 attack, or 3500, which is not enough for an [[OTK]] even if you attack twice.
 
−
 
−
Cards that [[Special Summon]] powerful [[monsters]] on your opponent's side of the [[field]] are useful when used with "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru]]".
 
−
 
−
You can tribute weak monsters on your side of the field to [[control]] powerful monsters, such as "[[Lava Golem]]" or "[[Volcanic Queen]]", both of which inflict detrimental [[effect]]s to your opponent during their [[turn]].
 
−
 
−
[[Uru]] also works reasonably well with [[Swarm]] [[Deck]]s; swarming weak monsters can be sacrificed to [[summon]] [[Uru]] and then again to control your opponent's monsters.

===Weaknesses===
−
 
+
Because they depend on Field Spell Cards being on the field, cards like "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and even "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Twin Twisters]]", etc. can cause "Earthbound Immortal" monsters to destroy themselves. Cards like "[[Field Barrier]]" or "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]" can be used to protect a Field Spell Card from being destroyed.
−
"Earthbound Immortals" are very strong, but cards like "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" could destroy the Field Spell and take the Earthbound Immortal with it. You can use cards like "[[Field Barrier]]" to protect your Field Spell from being destroy, or use "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]'s" as a tribute so that the "Earthbound Immortal" cannot be destroyed by card effects (including its own).
+
Cards that cause the Field Spell Card to leave the field without destroying it (such as "[[Shaddoll Dragon]]" and "[[Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer]]") are still a threat even with "Field Barrier". This can cause additional problems, as "Field Barrier" prevents a new Field Spell Card being played while it is active.

"Earthbound Immortal", known as "Earthbound God" (地（じ）縛（ばく）神（しん） Jibakushin) in Japan, is an archetype used by the Dark Signers in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, composed of 7 Level 10 DARK monsters with various Types. It is a sub-archetype of the "Earthbound" archetype. They are among the largest monsters seen in the anime; dwarfing humans and being comparable to massive buildings in size.

Design[edit]

The "Earthbound Immortals" are based on the Nazca Lines. Each of them are pictured rising from their corresponding Line and their form matches the being they represent, as well as their Type. The "Earthbound Immortals" also each have a color of the rainbow. When they are Summoned in the anime (and some video games), a beating stone heart appears in the sky, absorbing souls in the vicinity if this is the first time the "Earthbound Immortal" has been Summoned, followed by a flash of light revealing their full form, which emerges from the ground. When the Dark Signer is defeated, the souls their "Earthbound Immortal" took for their Summon are returned.

History[edit]

In the anime, the "Earthbound Immortals" are evil incarnations that were sealed in the netherworld by the Crimson Dragon and the Signers 5000 years before the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. They were released from their seals as a result of the Zero Reverse incident. They serve as the ace monsters of the Dark Signers, possessing them to serve as gatekeepers of Old Ener-D, which serves as the entrance to the netherworld.

Members[edit]

Original[edit]

Seven "Earthbound Immortals" exist, each possessing a rainbow color. Each are based on one of the Nazca Lines. Their names are based on Quechua words, usually for the subject depicted in the corresponding Nazca Line.

Related monsters[edit]

Jack Atlas managed to seal the strongest "Earthbound Immortal", Red Nova, into a card via Blazing Soul. By merging the Crimson Devil with his "Red Dragon Archfiend", Jack created "Red Nova Dragon". Subsequently, an OCG-original evolved counterpart of "Red Nova Dragon" was later released: "Red Supernova Dragon".

Effects[edit]

All "Earthbound Immortal" monsters share the following effect(s): There can only be 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field. If there is no face-up Field Spell on the field, destroy this card. Your opponent's monsters cannot target this card for attacks. This card can attack directly. In the anime, they instead all shared the following effect(s): While this card is face-up on the field, "Earthbound Immortal" monsters cannot be Summoned. If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, the following effects are negated, and this card is destroyed during the End Phase: ● This card can attack your opponent directly. ● This card cannot be attacked by your opponent's monsters. ● This card is unaffected by the effects of your opponent's Spell/Trap Cards. In the anime, the "Earthbound Immortals'" immunity to attacks, ability to attack directly, and immunity to Spell and Trap Cards is presented as them being incorporeal; Yusei Fudo attempted to defend his LP with "Stardust Dragon" from "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu", but "Stardust" flew right through the monster's outstretched hand. This is also presented as a weakness—in the anime (in contrast to the TCG/OCG), if a player only controls an "Earthbound Immortal", their opponent can attack them directly (such as when "Stardust Dragon" passed through the body of "Earthbound Immortal Uru" to attack directly).

Playing style[edit]

The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters are very powerful and have effects that range from inflicting Effect Damage to your opponent while locking their Battle Phase ("Chacu Challhua"), to taking control of an opposing monster, as in the case of "Uru". Also, all of them can attack their opponent directly and cannot be targeted for attacks. As powerful as they are, they have some drawbacks: there cannot be more than 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field at the same time, and they are all destroyed if there is no Field Spell Card active. If "Hardened Armed Dragon" is Tributed to Tribute Summon an "Earthbound Immortal" monster, it prevents it from being destroyed by card effects (including its own). Alternately, "Earthbound Linewalker" can be used to protect "Earthbound Immortal" monsters. "March of the Monarchs" will also stop them being destroyed by their own effects, as will the effect of "Number 66: Master Key Beetle". In an emergency situation, "Skill Drain" can also prevent them from destroying themselves. Their strategy basically relies on attacking directly and dealing huge damage every turn; if they are protected by cards like "Safe Zone" or "Mound of the Bound Creator", there are few ways of stopping them. "The Seal of Orichalcos" also works well in this Deck, as it can protect itself while boosting your monsters' ATK by 500. "Terraforming", and even "Ancient Fairy Dragon" if used carefully or alongside "Field Barrier"/"The Seal of Orichalcos", can assist in making sure you always have Field Spell(s). "Ancient Pixie Dragon" can also be included to increase draw power as this deck relies on Field Spells. The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters can all be Summoned easily, due to having no restrictions on Special Summoning them (except the field-unique condition).

Weaknesses[edit]

Because they depend on Field Spell Cards being on the field, cards like "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Black Rose Dragon" and even "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Twin Twisters", etc. can cause "Earthbound Immortal" monsters to destroy themselves. Cards like "Field Barrier" or "Malefic Stardust Dragon" can be used to protect a Field Spell Card from being destroyed. Cards that cause the Field Spell Card to leave the field without destroying it (such as "Shaddoll Dragon" and "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer") are still a threat even with "Field Barrier". This can cause additional problems, as "Field Barrier" prevents a new Field Spell Card being played while it is active.
