About Caius the Shadow Monarch effect

[taki]

So, I have 3 copies of this card in real life and I really love it. But I just got 1 copy from box and I saw this "inflict 500 damage" , but original effect: "inflict 1000 damage".

Is this a bug or Duel Links is using not original cards effects? Thanks!

All new cards as of the ZEXAL Update + Lava Golem have their effect damage halved, this is reflected by the card's text. Any cards released in or after Shining Hope, you need to disregard the TCG/OCG text if it involves effect damage. No other cards have been changed.

But this card is new, i mean, from new box. I know that they changed "Lava Golem" effect from "Take 1000 damage." to "Take 500 damage.", but C'mon, "Caius the Shadow Monarch"?? We need two things:

1. It requires 1 Tribute
2. DARK monster

I don't really understand why they nerfed this card.

They didn't nerf the card itself, they nerfed burn as a whole.

This is intended so as to prevent burn FTK decks in duel links. With the halved LP, and Konami apparently wanting to release cards that include burn damage, they decided to nerf the effect damage of future cards and added Lava Golem for good measure since it's a stall card.

lol they nerfed every burn effect from for new cards and maybe couple of old cards. But it's kinda funny they nerfed cowboy which was 800 per turn but gk cannonholder is 700 for as much as you want as long as you have fodder for it. Good job Konami.

well, the best part: the effect of "Caius the Shadow Monarch" can be used only once and It requires 1 Tribute AND DARK monster, while "Lava Golem" requires 2 any monsters and the effect can be used every turn.
If we would get "Marshmallon", it would have "500 damage" ;D

I don't think we'll get marshmallon for the same reason we didn't get Vijam as a non skill card.
