Heart Change is a card in the history of King of Games that can change control. Because its ability to take control of the opposing monster at no cost is too perverted, this card was listed as a restricted and forbidden card at an early stage. However, because the popularity of this card among players is too high, the K Society has quickly designed a series of robbery and brain control as its replacement cards.
If a lightning strike or a black hole is a card that directly destroys the opponent's monster, which can destroy the opponent's advantage in a duel, then the effect of the heart change to gain control of the opponent's monster is a card that can reverse the opponent's advantage. Imagine that in the ancient early days when there was a lack of countermeasures, the big brother who had worked hard to spend a lot of resources to make it, but was changed by the heart to 1 card to give NTR as a sacrifice in the past, and the advantages accumulated a little bit were instantly reversed.
So on April 1, 2000, the second forbidden card in the history of Game King, the heart change began to be listed as a restricted card. However, restricting the identity of the card does not prevent the high popularity of the heart change among players, and almost all players at that time would not refuse to add a heart change to their deck. After all, sometimes this change of heart is enough to reverse the whole situation. Because of the high popularity of the heart change, many players expressed dissatisfaction with the K Society's restriction of the heart change, in view of this situation, the K Society is also hastily launched the next position of the heart change to replace the robbery.
However, the difference between robbery and heart change is only a price that will restore the other party's health, and it does not matter at all. This time, the player's deck that loves NTR has 1 heart change + 3 cards to grab, and play more unscrupulously. So the K Society had to hurry up and restrict the seizure in the December of the same year. At this time, the K Society began to realize that the effect of changing control was essentially a BUG level effect, so some cards of unclear significance for the effect of transferring control began to be designed.
Later, after the introduction of the Little Black House Rule on March 1, 2004, K immediately listed the heart change as the first batch of prohibited cards, leaving only one card in the environment that could change control almost at no cost. However, what K Society did not expect was this decision, but it was opposed by a large number of players. Some players even began to complain about K Society on the grounds of "destroying the atmosphere of the game". After all, if you can't even use your favorite cards, it will not ruin the atmosphere of the player's game.
The reason why the heart change has a super high popularity in the player base, in addition to its own effect is indeed BUG, there is also a bonus from the anime. In the anime of the original "Game King DM", the heart change is the trump card in the table tapir deck, although the table tapir liang appears very rarely in the anime, but this card is a good reflection of the state of the tapir in the anime plot. In addition, Dark Tapir also added this card to his deck and used it many times in the anime. Moreover, the katu design of the heart change half demon and half angel also received praise from many players at that time.
In the face of the player's complaints, K Society could not compromise, so on September 1, 2004, the heart change was released from the small black room and reverted to the status of a restricted card. And that says one thing, konami, at least historically, has a conscience to listen to players, take it seriously, and respond realistically. However, these 1 heart change was released, and it immediately had a profound impact on the arena, and the era of national heart change came again.
In 2005, the operation of suddenly mutanting to use 1-star mobs such as scapegoats to jump the Thousand Eyes God directly from the extra deck has been developed, which has caused some players with NTR hobbies to become obsessed with using card decks such as Heart Change + Robbery + 3 Thousand Eyes To Sacrifice god to perform duels. And it is that players who use this type of NTR deck to fight not only have to face the pressure of defeat, but also the humiliation of their beloved monsters being taken away, which makes the wind evaluation of heart change begin to decline off a cliff. So just one season after being released from the Little Black House, on March 1, 2005, K issued another notice to list the change of heart as a prohibited card, and has never been released since.
