Konami is trying to ban Synchros. [Intercept Wave]

[DARKPLANT RISING]

 

The power of Synchros was too destructive. It had been too late for Konami to say "okay, let's ban all of them", so they replaced it with this to stop the Pandora's Box. At least, they tried to.

 

Note how Konami was as kind as to stop Stardust negotation as well. Or rather, evil.

 

Discuss on this.

Finally, something that will completely shut up any and every Synchro on the field. And with no cost to speak of. Meta killer dampener?

This was released 2 months ago (?) and no one uses it.

 

YCM, STOP OVERRATING CARDS!

Fixed enough? Maybe it's because I'm not a competitive player, but it seems like some pretty decent cards get under-appreciated by you pros. Isn't everybody spamming Synchros these days?

[Sylphiend]

This reminds me of a Trap Card I have, called "Discord":

 

Effect of "Discord":Neither Player can Synchro Summon. Send this card to the Graveyard during your 3rd End Phase after activation.

I heard that one sucked, too.

[TechnoDoomedOne]

This only serves to kill pure Syncro based decks, because otherwise it's pretty much unusable. Remember this card's only use is against Semi-Nomi monsters, and some Synchros (mostly LV9) activate their effects as soon as they hit the field. Whatever damage they do then, has already been done and cannot be repaired even if they return to the Extra Deck in the End Phase. And what then? They can be re-Summoned again.

 

I would rather use "Compulsory Evacuation Device" (and in fact, I do run it), which is a Fusion and Synchro killer, than this card. The latter has much more uses, and also kills Tribute monsters (except for the Monarchs).

Morphing Jar #2 is the fun way to do it.

Thats why some people don't use it but another thing you could think about is that it dosen't have to be used aginst your opponets Synchros but also affects your own (both good and bad). for example. Return Blackrose Dragon if you need to clear a field. Resummon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier for that wonderful effect.(not sarcasam) and 5,001 other possabilitys. Point is that this card has a potenital to be limited if some one came up with the right deck for it.

And Compulsory Evac Device has exactly the same possibilities - it just works against non-Synchros, too.

 

Konami doesn't know how to make type-killers. Discord > This.

And that's terrible.

[Mehmani]

Why don't Konami go the whole mile and release a Solemn that RFPs?

[Azuh]

Not worth the Ultra Rare spot

Oh, yeah, let's use this on our own Synchro Monsters. I love giving myself a -2 that removes my strong monsters from the field in the hopes of being able to get it back next turn at a price when I could have just built my Extra Deck less badly instead.

[evilfusion]

So this turns all Synchros to defense, but doesn't limit their ability to change battle positions, leaves them on the field, and then returns them to the Extra Deck during the End Phase. This affects both you and your opponent's monsters, only works on a specific class of monster, most Synchro spamming takes place after all f/d S/Ts have been eliminated (Mist Wurm).

 

On the bright side, this card returns ALL Synchros at the End Phase, not just the ones affected by this card. However, it's still a very inconsistent card that can backfire on you, doesn't negate the effects of the Synchros (Junk Destroyer, Mist Wurm, Trishula, Stardust can still use its effect), and overall is just annoying. It's also a dead draw if the opponent doesn't use Synchros, doesn't need Synchros, or just doesn't manage to summon a Synchro.

 

Compulsory can do the same thing (to one), isn't limited to Synchros, does it immediately, and is overall just more versatile than this.

 

I would never use this card. Too conditional for too little of a benefit. If you want to make an anti-Synchro deck, sure, throw one of these in. Or use Discord.

[VolTama]

Am I the only one who sides Piano Tuner Tuner's Scheme?

[Flame Dragon]

If it also negated their affect then this might be worth something.

 

And personally I like using Grand Mole for my anti-synchro purposes.

[Tabris]

If this negated Synchro Summons on top of everything it does, it'd be a tad better.

Yes, this card would be better if it had all of its current attributes but with an extra positive effect tacked on.

 

Most cards would be.

[BulletMan]

Please, just use Royal Oppression, CED, Vanitys Fiend, DD Warrior Lady, etc...

 

So I repeat:

 

THE HELL YOU DOING WITH THAT THING?

[Mr. Judgment Dragon]

Not worth the Ultra Rare spot

 

This.

 

I'd rather use something else to stop Synchros. Something like Oppression, Compulsory Evacuation Device, etc. So many other choices that aren't terrible.

Type-killers have and always will be idiotic.

[-Griffin]

It's not a type killer if it's targeted against a majority of Decks. That's like saying Seven Tools of the Bandit is a type killer because some Decks use more Traps than others.

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

Synchros, Fusions, and Rituals are all specific cards that go behind the basic Monster, Spell and Trap concept. Just because the Synchro concept is grossly overpowered and has resulted in their being spammed in many decks, that doesn't mean they aren't as deck dependent as other cards. Running this is an inconsistency since you will run into people that use no Synchros.

i like your idea
