The abyss embraced the brave men
gently, gently, as if it refused to give them any more pain
The deep sea played a quiet lullaby
softly, softly, sending them into their long, eternal slumber
The sea floor is the gate to the Heaven
Under the complete darkness, there is a gentle light.
Calling, calling softly
Return, return to me, said the light.
The light is our Lord, welcoming the brave men
Under the complete darkness, is the sky of the Heaven.
He then embraced the brave men
Gently, gently, more gentle than a mother's embrace.
Welcome back to our Lord's side
And rest in peace...
Spider Orchid- Why I hate its design
If you ask me why I REALLY hate Spider Orchid and doesn’t mind showing it to you guys, here’s my answer.
I actually never consider Spider Orchid as the true part of the archetype. Its design ruined the archetype theme. The effect is also mediocre, but since I am the person who look for a good design before the effect, especially if it’s about an archetype I like, let’s focus on the design only.
If we are talking about the design, we can see Predaplant is based on either:
- Carnivorous plants (Pitcher plants, VFT, Sundew, Drosophyllum, and Triphyophyllum)
- Carrion flowers (Rafflesia, Stapelia)
- Odd-looking plants/fungus (Bee orchid, Banksia, Cordyceps- Cordyceps is a fungus btw)
Unfortunately, moon orchid is nothing like bee orchid, if we have to compare with other orchid that also became a Yugioh card of the same archetype. Its appearance is beautiful, so beautiful it destroyed the archetype theme. So beautiful it attracted insects like most flowers did (unlike the bee orchid that trick male bees to mate with it). Moon orchid can never fall to one of those categories above. That’s why I said Spider Orchid ruined the archetype, design-wise. And that’s also why I’m so, so happy with the release of Triphyovertum and Heliamphora birb (the card name is PitA to write so I just call it “Heliamphora birb” or “Heliamphora pterosaur”. It’s easier to write).
The fairest I can say is that MAYBE, just maybe, the team ran out of time when brainstorming about the plant base and just took the first orchid they see. You see, if the team wanted to stick on using orchid as plant base, it’s fine. Predaplant has Ophrys Scorpio which based on an orchid. BUT, they only to change the genus of the orchid. Orchid came in many, MANY forms, from beautiful to odd-looking. You can see some examples here. They should pick another orchid that fits the archetype better than moon orchid.

Give praise, for he has no equal
Worship him. A god has been born unto the world
Cower in fear, he will not forgive any vice
Devote yourself, your fate is all but written
What is a god? Omnipotence given form
For what, did he invoke creation? So life may thrive
Then what, meaning lies in life? What becomes of that question?
Give praise, for he has no equal
Worship him. A god has been born unto the world
Cower in fear, he will not forgive any vice
Devote yourself, your fate is all but written
What is a god? Omnipotence given form
For what, did he invoke creation? So life may thrive
Then what, meaning lies in life? What becomes of that question?
Come watch your world drift into vivid reality
Bring your will, ready yourself for supremacy
Black wings will reign down, fulfilling the skyborn prophecy
Life and death become one, the miserable and the blessed return to the void
Receive the twilight, witness as all creation twists into new form
Now I call you, O Grand Chaos
I prostrate myself before you in this moment, grant my wish
Turn all bind all, until everything is black darkness
And I pray to you for rebirth in pure white splendor
And I pray to you for rebirth in pure white splendor
And I pray to you for rebirth in pure white splendor

Ah hell, welcome to my feast, time to start the hedonism
Yes, tonight you take the lead, daddy won't stop your inhibitions
Just do what you want, do what you like
Release those desires, let 'em go higher, show me your exhibition
Evil? Who? Me? You think so? Let's see
People wanna judge―short-sighted at best―but what do they know about me?
Just look at your grudge, forget the rest; you don't feel the debauchery?
If the eyes are the mirror to the soul, then I'm sold, so―
Oh? You got more to say? Then spit it out, feel it loud, go ahead, ask away
Love? In this life? Passion? Yeah, right
Ideals are cheap, takes a poor soul to fall for 'em, poorer still to creep
'Cause the world, this house, the bed you sleep, all of it's corrupt
Erupt, down to the core, dirty hands for dirty love, searching for some kinda carnal release
We're all rotten underneath, down to the bone, inside of you, inside of me
Then again, no doubt it's hot, I'm into that kind of thing
(Oh yeah!) Bare your virtue, fake it if you like, I won't hurt you, try to keep me in line, angel
(Almost there!) Expose that soul, reveal it all, that's called growth, now we're talking, gentle, no?
(Harder, yeah!) We've arrived; abandon all your reason, embrace that instinct, with tears and sweat, and sweet, sweet treason
(Un! Ungh! Ungh...) Oof. Call me anal retentive, but I'm bored. Later
Ah hell, let's get to the finish line, welcome to my body-on-body parade
Go ahead, let your mind go, feel the fire between your thighs escalate
It's our hot white night, we can just melt away
Strip down to the skin, till you're ready to begin, and I'll fill the holes in your hate
Happy with your life right now? Sure, you might say so, raise a brow, but you know, how many fools, tools, live a life well endowed?
Gotta give it up if already you know joy; here's to good luck, here's one to your health!
But if you don't know pleasure, well it's whatever, forgive yourself, just try not to dwell
Yep, ah hell, don't think about a thing, just listen to me swell
It's just us, it's just, playing with our mouths together
Bow-chika-wow-wow... Now bow chicka bow down...

I am what I am, but who am I?
Can't remember, brain tormented
Isolated, lost in my senses
Desecrated―aching, my spirit
Desecrated―aching, my spirit
Never, ever no―forever, this endless war
And yet, I bet, no regret, I could handle more
"Destroy it all..."
That call... So defined, so specific; carved on my mind, hieroglyphics.
Ahhh... I get it. It's proof of the truth, the one darkest pact
Ahhh... I get it. It's proof of the truth, the one darkest pact
No excuse to ensue, better chew―on that: the chronic track inflicting naked fact
Let me feel the power that could rip me to shreds
Can't last one more hour, how soon will I meet my end?
I can't return to those days that I've forgotten
But the memories fade, leaving me thinking...
It is what it is, but where are we?
World in my hand, palm of the damned
Chaos unleashed, the fall of man
Fallen belief―deceased, demon's command
Infernal, Inferno, infamous malevolence
So evil, medieval, meticulous reverence
So evil, medieval, meticulous reverence
"Destroy it all..."
You crawl with no vision; soul burned, cruel ambition imprisoned
But I'm proud to present my ascent, your torment: the dark prince
Ruler and ruled, king of delusion
Ruler and ruled, king of delusion: mock me mortal, final conclusion
Let me feel the power that could rip me to shreds
Can't last one more hour, how soon will I meet my end?
I can't return to those days that I've forgotten
But the memories fade, leaving me thinking...
How many times will my world revolve, future resolved, lost child in eternity, darkness evolved?
Doesn't matter much deception: fated, anxiety: clutch,
Clutch more souls―a few thousands to live, a few million's enough
'Nough. To become, to succumb, to crumble, to plunge, to feel the hatred
To grow numb
"Destroy it all..."
Let me feel the power that could rip me to shreds
Can't last one more hour, how soon will I meet my end?
I can't return to those days that I've forgotten
But the memories fade, leaving me thinking...
A-part
Let me feel the power that could rip me to shreds
Can't last one more hour, how soon will I meet my end?
I can't return to those days that I've forgotten
But the memories fade, leaving me thinking...
B-part
That call... So defined, so specific; carved on my mind, hieroglyphics.
Ahhh... I get it. It's proof of the truth, the one darkest pact
Ahhh... I get it. It's proof of the truth, the one darkest pact
No excuse to ensue, better chew―on that: the chronic track inflicting naked fact
You crawl with no vision; soul burned, cruel ambition imprisoned
But I'm proud to present my ascent, your torment: the dark prince
Ruler and ruled, king of delusion
Ruler and ruled, king of delusion: mock me mortal, final conclusion
The memories fade, leaving me thinking...
