I really hope they do what they've been doing and put the Gem-Knight support onto its secret pack as soon as it drops, feels like a really good thing they've been doing
>>
>>537950301
Master Diamond is such a fucking cool card. One of the best examples of a fucking BOSS monster in the entire series.
>>
>>537950878
ok but what does it actually do though
looks like a stat stick only
>>
>>537952898
you use it to copy the effects of other Fusions you've cycled through, before the new support this is how you would FTK people by copying Lady Lapis Lazuli's effect
>>
>>537950301
no one wanted that
>>
>>537952898
He copies effects, most notoriously Lapis Lazuli's burn effect
Lapis Lazuli is a soft OPT so you cycle her twice and use Master Diamond's copy to FTK
>>537953907
t. got humbled by THE MASTER

when are we getting more branded support

just pass turn and hope he bricked. fuck no you're not getting 3 draws from me

>>537962928
he's drawing 3 for every special summon
that's 19 summons to deck out an opponent who started with a 60 card deck
or 12 against a 40 card deck
really not that many

YOU don't know how the GAME works
SOMETIMES you have to CHANGE PLANS ON THE FLY and take advantage of a different win condition than originally intended
A COWARD would hard pass into a normal summon robina
A TRUE DUELIST would continue playing and simply win regardless
Nibiru? doesn't exist
other handtraps? who cares it's 2025
boardbreakers? that means they don't have handtraps and you're free to summon a gorillion more times
JUST WIN

Strikers have been sitting at something like like 3rd to 5th best deck in the OCG for 4 months now.

This too and a new link 1. Lemnis and the link 2 are very good cards in a deck that already had some extremely powerful cards and a well-fleshed out gameplan.

>>537980265
while this is obviously fucking good I don't see how this is enough juice to burst through modern endboards but I guess I will when it comes to master duel

Striker already has the ability to break boards reasonably well which is a big part of why Striker Tenpai exists. The issue with pure Striker in MD is that modern decks set up a ton of followup so when you barely break through their board they're easily able to deal with the set Widow Anchor+Shark Cannon+Raye in GY.
The new stuff lets them both set up more interruption to deal with the followup turn and more recursion for themselves beyond just relying on the opponent letting you use Raye's GY effect to add back Engage on their turn.

Also this card+MST has become standard in the OCG. Obviously any bonus draw power given to Sky Strikers is a big deal since I'm sure we've all had situations where you have them down to one card and suddenly they go Talents draw 2>Upstart>Engage>Engage>Upstart>Engage>Kagari>Engage

i downloaded duel links for something to do because i was bored with maliss meta and started to play the gay twink catboy clown deck in rush duel and am actually having fun
>>
>>537981196
>allure for spells but it doesn't banish
kinda fucked up
>>
I LOVE RAYE
>>
>>537981325
For quick plays only. The only non-Magnifistorm decks that can justify it are Sky Striker and Runick. And Sky Striker only really wants to use it because it gets more spells in GY and because of how card draw spirals out of control in that deck.
Cards like Allure or Trade In just aren't very good in general without some special synergy with your deck.
And aiming to discard your whole hand isn't generally something you actually want to do.

Assuming the opponent has a light as material on the Duodrive or in his GY, he can link Atrii+Druis off for SP and use Druis to out the Bagooska, then full combo with Oath.
But that loses to one hand trap.

it's 1% chance, 50 times isn't even 50/50 yet

There was an Aggregator in GY so that's basically what happened and he scooped as I set Primera since he had no responses. GG bagooskazeal.

You have easy level 12 access, it seems soulless enough that OCG would've tried it.
>>
>>537987213
So what's your plan then? To run a Centurion package like any deck that makes level 8/12 synchros can do? but basically none of them do it because it's not actually good To just waste a ton of material on Legatia+Crimson Dragon to get 1 draw+1 negate?

the new Serene Psychic Witch is also an etele for any Myutant, so that's 9 eletes for your 6 starter monsters
starters aren't really the issue
the problem is your endboard isn't strong enough to end the game turn 2 like a combo deck would, but is also so hostile to your own follow up that it can't be a solid midrange/grindy deck either

I got lucky with the ryzeal pack, so i have 10k gems saved up, do i spend some of them on heraldic, or do i build maliss instead, since the ignister cards are also in the upcoming pack?
>why do you want to build maliss when you already own ryzeal
Because this deck is bricky as all fuck, 90% of my hands consist of 4 handtraps and a single starter, which gets handtrapped, leaving me with no other choice than to pass turn. The few times i happen to also draw TTT, i end up drawing into more fucking useless handtraps anyway. I literally can't even go bagooska pass because fuwalos almost never fucking appears in my hand, and when he does it's with the one ryzeal name that needs specifically another ryzeal on field/GY. Tenpai at """full""" power somehow felt less bricky.

>no they aren't
on average, you'd get 6 SRs per 10-pack pull
that's ~500 gems per 30 SRs dust
iirc, you start with 10k-ish gems, and you get ~8k gems per month from daily+event+ranked
so after just a month, with average luck, you should be able to hard craft almost a full deck worth of SRs (36 cards)

why is the worst deck ever fucking created, snake eyes fire king, still viable? why can't you just kill a fucking deck
>>
>>538031421
I do
when you don't draw any starters and need to put counters on "That's 10!" to start playing, you need an engine that has a lot of activations and doesn't take up too much main deck space
it is also good bait for hand traps so Adra doesn't get negated

Where do i even begin?
>literally no synergy with anything, spright works with live troon because the live troon cards have real effects, normal summoning any nephthys name is always a waste
>diviner can can search conductor/rebirth just fine, but none of the fairies she can summon when tributed do anything for the deck (besides being an extra body)
>conductor generates enough bodies for a link that searches another ritual and adds back the ritual spell from grave, BUT the ritual needs to pop your cards to pop an equal amount of the opponent's cards
>because cerulean needs to destroy nephthys cards specifically, you can't really cut back on the nephthys names despite their uselessness
>ZERO turn one plays, unless arc light pass is your dream board
>can't really run a bunch of handtraps/boardbreakers because the deck has nothing but 2-3 card combos
>the OTK relies on you being able to completely wipe the opponent's field with the cards you pop with cerulean because it, sacred and princess is just enough damage to kill on a empty field (8100)
Its only saving graces are being one of the most aesthetically pleasing archetypes ever made (if you don't like blue-eyed, dark-skinned women you're a faggot) and being absurdly cheap, every card but diviner is pennies, even in MD the only UR cards you'll need are diviner and princess, both generically useful.

It's like 50/50. We're approaching the point where they're extremely likely to hit it but also it survived in OCG so it is likely to survive here. Personally I just pulled for 1-ofs of the URs with my excess gems to get banlist refunds.

it's basically one of the first thing Prediction Princess decks pull out because the effects really are just that silly
>>
>>538088703
There's no point when they have Guard Dog as an option. All Deus X offers is that it has enough levels to use as tribute, but that super minimal level of consistency boost is not going to help Prediction Princess.
>>
>>538088965
guard dog is temporary
deus-x is permanent
>>
>>538088965
even people that play Prediction Princess know it's not good, they need to take as much consistency as they can get
Guard Dog's honestly kinda fallen out of favor for other options, like the other anon said Guard Dog is a one time effect and you'd need to re-flip it, plus you can also just nuke a board with pot of the forbidden instead
I have a friend that's really attached to it and his thoughts on it are something like "it knows exactly what kind of endboard it wants to make, it just has very little ways to actually make it" and that's kinda my thoughts on it too

>>538089502
Prediction Princess flips it(and Whirlwind Weasel) down and then back up as quick effect every turn. """All""" you need to do is get both rituals in hand and then summon Trei by tributing Treith.
>>538089657
I don't agree with your one friend. Let's not pretend Prediction Princess is some popular deck that is seeing large amounts of experimentation by skilled players who are able to come to a consensus on these things. Needing to re-flip it is hardly a downside. The deck is bad enough that you're not getting any appreciable consistency boost one way or the other, and you may as well set up the board that wins you the game instead of the one that's just alright.
Playing Pot of the Forbidden Control is significantly more fun though.

Everything about Maliss is deliberate.
Extending from access code, 2300 baseline to make it compatible with existing support.
Compatible with Bystials and other powerful engines. Difficult to interact with the deck by traditional means.

So you can even just like as a very simple example, give them a monster and summon Caspar/Starfire/Doc, link the link 2 into Max to search Desperado since they have a monster, then use it to pop their monster and trigger the guy you summoned.
This extends and gets you extra light fiends in the GY. You can also just like send their guy to the GY with Engraver's effect and keep the trap in hand to use with Caspar for two interruptions.

The only reason that wouldn't be a problem is because there's no good deck that makes rank 4s at the moment aside from Ryzeal who can't make good use of Millennium thanks to locks. White Forest is the only deck that could consider it but that's already a deck that may as well FTK if it resolves anything close to a combo.

Fiendsmith is any rank 4, and I would not call the Millennium combo "really strong" it had a moment to shine when Snake Eye Fiendsmith lost Beatrice and for like a month when Crystron was relevant.

It's good as a starter and to bait interaction, if you already have a rank 4 (broadbull) on the board you probably don't need to make a Zombie Vampire or a monster negate.

Asking a deck to run the standard Fiendsmith extra deck cards, and the three additional ED cards they'd need to make Broadbull to then still have to have things to make with the Millennium cards is a big ask.
The Millennium cards will continue to be very strong as long as there are decks that can efficiently use all the material they provide. They didn't suddenly go down in card quality because the newest decks don't mesh well with them.

You can't pretend like extra deck extenders aren't powerful. They obviously are. There are definitely decks that would want to turn 2 level 4s into the 4 bodies you could get from Millennium considering how good all the Millennium main deck cards are. It's just that none of them are relevant for now. Like look at how Fire King Snake Eye was top tier running the Springans package in the Xyz cup for that reason. They'd gladly would've traded it to run Millennium cards over those bricks.

It'd probably be fine in MD specifically if you don't mind more material spam slop piles, because MD has 8 months of forewarning before a good deck comes out so they could ban it in anticipation should a good deck come out that synergizes with it, but they'd probably just leave it legal regardless.

How much can a good deck carry a bad (or average) player? I got through diamond 1 last season with a mix of ryzeal and voiceless, and I'm itching for some gems, but I don't know if it's worth attempting to climb through master.
>>
>>538104730
Quite a bit, especially given many people will assume you know what you're doing and surrender before you can fuck up. I don't think grinding it out is worth it if you didn't already want to play that many games though.
>>
What are some "cult classic" decks? Shit like D/D/D, Speedroid and Vaylantz that despite being outdated still have some very dedicated people thinkering with them?
>>
>>538105179
does branded count as outdated yet
>>
>>538104060
>There are definitely decks that would want to turn 2 level 4s into the 4 bodies you could get from Millennium considering how good all the Millennium main deck cards are
There are none currently, and there are none in the foreseeable future. Decks today don't need more material or generic bodies, that's quite literally the least of their concerns. The worst that will come from it is you'll get is some trash 60 pile list that's trying to put up an FTK board.

>They didn't suddenly go down in card quality because the newest decks don't mesh well with them.
That's literally how it works, they are worse cards now. Maliss and Ryzeal pushed the power level up a notch and K9 100% replaces them in every way.
>>
>>538105179
There will always be people who want Zombie piles to work, and there are always new synergies for it to mess with. Delta of Invitation, Goblin Bikers to search and then loop Goblin Zombie, Duke of Demise, Ghost Fusion, etc.
Fluffals is another deck like that but I imagine a lot of people gave up on it over the last year since its weakness was always little to no room for non-engine and mediocre consistency.
>>
>>538105179
The entire anniversary event this year was for live twin, so they should be a cult deck, but after the anniversary I never saw them again
>>
>>538105534
>That's literally how it works, they are worse cards now.
No they aren't. It's just that the decks that synergize with them are worse. Impulse wouldn't become a bad card if Maliss got banned.
>Maliss and Ryzeal pushed the power level up
Full power Snake Eye was stronger. K9 does not replace them. K9 is mostly going to be a new hand trap you can play. Maliss is still in the running for third best deck in the OCG.

>>
>>538105679
Live Twin isn't a cult deck, it's just a popular deck that's been somewhat underpowered for a good while now. Everyone who wants to play it is waiting for their support which should be in the next couple months.
>>
>>
It's crazy how fast people are to chase the trends in this game and only judge things based on what is most popular. Obviously the new decks are the best thanks to the banlist killing the old ones but there are seriously people who believe stuff like Fiendsmith cards suddenly became terrible because Maliss and Ryzeal don't use them.

I wonder how often it'd go the opposite way if release dates were different. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd be seeing people talking about how Ryzeal is a shitty outdated deck and Fiendsmith, Fire King, and Rescue Ace are some crazy new level of power creep if they came out now alongside a couple Maliss+Ryzeal limits.
>>
>>538105860
>Impulse wouldn't become a bad card if Maliss got banned
Apples to oranges. Impluse is one of a kind. Generic engines are quite literally power crept yearly. This is like saying Adventure is still good but there's just no decks that can play it. No, it's bad now. There's stronger engines in stronger decks.

>K9 does not replace them
It does replace Millennium in any deck that was playing them. It's a stronger engine slot.

>Full power Snake Eye was stronger
Lmfao, okay I think we can end the discussion here. This is just factually incorrect, this one comment shows me all I need to know. And no, bigger end board does not make you a stronger deck.

Mayakashi is bolstered by being an engine for a Zombie Pile, which it does really well with stuff like Zombie World and Eldlich as additional engines, that also gives it a lot of variety since most Zombie locks (aside from their first Synchro chain for ED) don't lock them out of plays

It's true its a lot of resources, but that discussion was about decks being able to access a rank 4 for a theoretical Broadbull into Millennium combo, and if you play FS you do have access to that.

Konami tricked me into creating an alt account for the branded deck. I created the account with the code, got some gems from begginer missions and solo play, opened a shit ton of packs and now I have a decent deck.
It is a fun deck in theory, lots of support to brew with, lots of lines of play, fun shenanigans with recursion and delayed effects. But I don't know, I don't know, something feels off to me. I'm already thinking about dismantling it all and building some jank cheap deckson this account.

there are so many cards that Kozaky is connected to and could be included as a retrain in an archetype focused on him
Mad Lobster also references dark world, if they're from the same place it could be included too
it would be cool if his archetype could bridge into Koa'ki and other archetypes that he is related to as well

The Synchro lets you extend off Meluseek+Malwisp as a one card combo without just being a gay Link 1
The trap gives you extension through handtraps and turn 0 plays off a single card card instead of having to draw Faker+Imperm. Decent option into roach/charmies too letting you summon some interruption on their turn.

I promise you it's not. It's a very frustrating deck both because it has no modern combos meaning you have to draw cards that all work well together, and more or less whatever you draw is your endboard, and because it will sometimes die to random shit in regardless of the LP protection effects they slapped on the traps.
On top of that, pseudo-skill drain is not a fun win condition.

just hit proficiency 19 and did the proficiency 20 test
there was a question along the lines of 'You pop Purple Poison with Electrumite and add Astrograph to your hand. What effect should be chain link 2 to ensure you activate as many effects as possible?'
The answer was Purple Poison's effect, but I have no idea why
There doesn't seem to be any reason that you'd be unable to chain Astrograph as link 2 and then chainblock with Purple Poison as link 3

>>538196068
i honestly already forget the question but iirc the question was how to set up the link so that you can apply most effect during resolution or something, not the highest chain link

Paleos aren't a recent archetype, they're a decade old.

Trying to theorycraft a deck similar to Fiendsmith Control but centered around Diabellstar. The general idea is to use Diabellstar to toolbox through powerful Sinful Spoil S/Ts and just accrue more and more of them each turn by continually cycling Diabellstar on and off the field. The main issue I'm running into though is that unlike the Fiendsmith, where any 2 cards turns into Moon, which turns into Requiem, Diabellstar is harder to consistently access. Cards like Dramatic Snake-Eye Chase and Deception->Hallowed Azamina->Mu Rceilago->Wanted work, but I seem to remember a Fiendsmith->White Forest full combo line that used Sequence as a Link-2 to make Lacrima, then link into Sprind and send Astellar.

The only thing is, I don't know how exactly you get Astellar from the graveyard, and I can't find anything about it in modern WF guides. Anyone know anything?
>>
>>538208080
try something like this

https://www.masterduelmeta.com/tier-list/deck-types/Azamina
>>
>>538208467
Now that's interesting, I had considered some kind of mill strategy since a lot of SS/Azamina cards have strong graveyard effects, and using Reasoning to just mill yourself until you hit the only monster you CAN summon to get yourself started is a pretty good way to get Diabell out. The only thing I worry about is I feel like these kinds of decks would be pretty bad going second, whereas FS Control style decks have the advantage of playing a ton of hand traps. I also worry about consistency. It's basically Reasoning, Diabell, or hope for Hallowed+a Sinful Spoil S/T. Still, it's an interesting idea.

I play it and I can tell that going second is just as bad as going second with a normal deck. the only benefit you get really is people not understaanding what your deck does lol. But it can win game and beat the meta because saint is pretty good because maliss and ryzeal have a good chunk of target effects. just saying you want to have two saints on board because people WILL twist themselves into knots to kill it if you only have one.

I'll probably give the Reasoning version a shot but I was hoping you could play something that had a little more game going second.

>>538214712
Sure I know about Elf but assuming you get to Fusion Lacrima+Fiendsmith+Sequence, how are you getting enough material to link into Elf? You can't use Sprind as link material the turn it's summoned.

sequence into lacrima
if you have tract in GY, lacrima ss engraver
if you don't have tract in GY, lacrima add back engraver into tract into lurie
engraver/lurie + sequence into sprind, send astellar
tract fuse lacrima + sprind into rextremende
rextremende discard a spell/trap to send something
astellar revive

REXTREMENDE That was it, thanks man I was struggling with this for a while. And you can equip a Fiendsmith link to send for Astellar's activation. Yeah, this might work as a bridge. Cuz you can then go Astellar->Silvy, add any white forest/sinful spoil S/T like Aphes or Sinful Spoils of the White Forest, make Rceila, add Azamina Elzette and get to Diabell/Azamina engine from there, like a normal WF deck. Then you can sit on Azamina/Diabell/Rextremende until next turn. This just might work if I can get the starter to brick ratio down.

I don't know what it is, but something but there is something about Synchro cards I just don't like. There are many Synchro archetypes that have cool aesthetic and mechanics, synchro summoning is fine mechanically, but I just don't like playing these cards. I think I just don't like the white borders.

>but if you do so, you cannot activate the effect of "purple poison magician" as cl 3
wait what
i thought trigger effect that triggered at the same time all goes in chain regardless of how you order it?
electrumite being cl1 because it's mandatory is understandable, but can't activate purple poison because astrograph is on earlier chain just makes no sense
is this related to how auto-chain thing happens? something about GY/face-up ED must trigger first before hand?
>>
>>538244979
ocg rules, effects that activate in a non public location take priority over other effect activations in public locations, because they do not have the timing as ones that do, so you missing timing, unlike in the tcg where its sequenced when theyre triggered

>>538250243
>effects that activate in a non public location take priority over other effect activations in public locations
but the answer said that you need to activate purple poison first (public location in face-up ED) then astrograph (non-public location)
>>
>>538250583
priority in the sense it has precedents over other activations in the same time because your opponent has the chance to respond, not that its a mandatory activation, so any effects that trigger in a non public location are considered "quick effects" that only be chained after you opponent, so you miss timing if you astrograph first, unlike in the tcg where its has to be electrumite, purple poison, and astrograph, because thats the order they triggered in

>>
>>538276452
Reaper is still worse because you'd have to be running Reaper in order to draw it vs Maliss. Metaltronus is better because you gain the chance to draw it vs the other decks and it's not dead going first.
>>
>>538278732
metaltronus ain't free man
you need the specific target in your deck, and you sure ain't hitting any in other deck considering ryzeal got that weird as fuck typing of thunder and pyro
and reaper also ain't dead going first, your endboard is only like, 2 monsters after all

Are the anime worth watching? I have only seem the original when I was a kid.
Do they actually follow rules on the other ones?
>>
>>538279235
there's a bit of anime bullshit in every series but it tends to vary, like Vrains is really close but then we have character specific skills that are just straight up cheating, if anything I'd say Zexal is the closest to be just straight up YGO and even that's not perfect
personally I really like Arc-V for just how insane it gets but even then it still has the 'super rushed 2nd half' problem
>>
>>538279235
All of them minus Vrains, but also including Sevens and Go Rush.
>>
>>538279153
Reaper also needs specific targets but is just worse because it allows the opponent to pivot their turn based on what you rip while Tronus actually helps deal with their endboard directly. Like in the mirror if you take their Detonator then they just end on Bagooska and vice versa.
Reaper isn't a secret card, it gets discussed every time a new format is starting.
>>
>>538279235
They're kind of worth watching.
The original one has a lot of filler but it does a good job of making the duels interesting. I would suggest just reading the manga but the anime is still good.
GX is OK but pretty childish. If you're fine with that it can be fun but watch the sub, the dub turns too much of it into a proto-ironic weeb abridged-style shitpost.
5Ds has some very strong parts but also some awful parts.
I didn't like Zexal but it's very popular in Japan.
I thought Arc-V sucked and couldn't get past like episode 6 but a lot of people say it has a good start.
The Rush Duel anime are aimed at a younger audience. I liked Go Rush more than Sevens.
>>
The solo mode scenarios are actually pretty fun, they should do it for more archetypes
>>
>>538278732
Nah, with reaper you only need to worry about called by and brick against unexpected rogue deck, but with metaltronus you need to worry about Ash, Impulse, brick, can't be targeted protection and many other spell and trap cards that allow your opponent to dodge it (Maliss' trap cards, Droplet and whatnot)
t. crafting 3 copies of metaltronus, and regret it in less than a week
>>
>>538279694
dumdum, try hitting metaltronus on binder and see what happens
>>
>>538280526
It's not that Metaltronus on Binder is good, it's that Reaper is really bad in the current meta. and essentially all metas
>>
>>538280807
but surprise, surprise, metaltronus is even worse
also, it's lethal in mirror, just hit their detonator and even if they bring up bagooska, you can just stall or just summon your own detonator and wait until they turn that shit off
and you also don't need to blind binder the first time you can do it, do it right before they summon apo and they'll just keel over
>>
>>538279235
Every anime series is moments of peak kino intersperced between dozens of episodes of fucking nothing happening at all.
>DM: mainly just nostalgic but the final duel between Yugi and Atem is perfection and sets the standard for all high stakes duels for the rest of the franchise
>Dark Sides of Dimension: Epilogue movie to DM with Kaiba as the protagonist. Pretty great.
>GX: Starts out with low stakes lighthearted schoolyard drama, gets darker very quickly after that. Along with Zexal this is the only series that gets better as it goes along instead of worse. Be warned if you like any character besides Jaden/Judai the show will punish you for it. They are ALL wasted.
>5Ds: The first arc is potentially the best Yugioh has ever been, nosedives in quality after that.
>Zexal: The most consistently good series imo. It does devolve into filler villain of the week stuff occasionally but when the plot does get rolling it has a great cast of heroes/villains/rivals that all get a lot of screentime and development, compared to other series which heavily lean on the protagonist to carry the entire show.
>Arc-V: Lol lmao lol
>Vrains: Unfortunately very rushed towards the end but I still like it. It's production just wasn't even given a chance to succeed.
These are all objectively correct opinions btw.
>>
>>538281173
That's just wrong. Metaltronus is pretty good in this format. That's not just my opinion but the general consensus. You can go play the WCS event and pick the deck that has Metaltronus in it if you want. Reaper is as bad as ever.

Did Konami smoke crack when they gave Maliss those random draw effects?
RANT

Just think about it: Cheesy Cat is straight up better than Pot of Greed. Pot of Greed “only” goes +1 in card advantage every time it resolves, but Cheesy Cat doesn’t lose advantage at all, even if it gets Ashed. Its so called “cost” of banishing a Maliss card isn’t even a cost; it’s a built-in combo enabler and starter. On top of that, the stupid Cat can be reset infinitely every turn, and White Binder casually draws you an extra card during basic Maliss lines. Compare that to Ryzeal’s field spell, which makes you put two Ryzeal cards back into the deck or extra deck just to draw a single card - and you can’t even do that until after you’ve already comboed off.

The wildest part? These draw effects are worded so casually, like they’re nothing—just some throwaway LP gain or minor burn effect. If both Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity were legal at 3 I argue a lot of lists wouldn’t even play it because it’s already way too consistent.

>Just think about it: Cheesy Cat is straight up better than Pot of Greed

I have tried a few online card games recently, but I just end up sticking with master duel or arena. It feels like all other card games are scared of interaction.
The master duel meta is awful right now, but the overall state of MtG is worse.
I have never spent a cent on online card games, but I'm thinking about either going to MTGO for cubes and drafts and maybe renting cards for legacy

Opponent card: negate any of your opponents effects; this cannot be negated. Toss all cards in your opponent hand and extra deck and field to banishment face down


I've not been able to play a single card that hasn't been immediately negated in like 6 games.
