Once per turn, you can declare 1 card name. Cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used until the End of your opponent’s next turn.

Doesn't at all useful unless you run a heavy Psychic Deck.

But there are other Psychics that could use.

.....Does the effect of this thing require it(Psyblocker) to be on the field at all times?

[evilfusion]

It's a costless, one turn Prohibition for one turn. Not bad, but not great, either.

It's an Ignition Effect, not a Continuous one. If it resolves successfully, Psy-Blocker's effect will last until your Opponent's End Phase, regardless of what happens to it.

TC, this doesn't just include Hand Control. You can declare any cards that activate, even choosing cards on the field (say your opponent's Stardust Dragon), and your opponent cannot activate it's effect.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like Psychic?

Prohibition doesn't hurt the field, though.

[evilfusion]

True, if it affects the field, it's more useful, and it stops the card's effects from activating from anywhere, so you could declare "Mystic Tomato" and kill one without problems.

I have no idea what you're saying in your first sentence, though.

[Anbu-of-Sand]

It's a meh card. One of the very few Psychics that don't have an effect involving Life Points. Probably could be tech'd for randomness / for a filler.

[Bringerofcake]

I really would've preferred it to be a Level 3. Much more searchable and accessible.

Damned hyphens.

Go ahead and lock.

[El-Rrey]

I smell something anormal from this card!
It's surely gonna be sided a lot.

[Manjoume Thunder]

The Kevin and Co suck at wording effects. How the f*** are we supposed to know exactly what you meant by "use"?

Anyway, the effects that surely work, make this pretty neat. Anything else like can't [b]use[/b] the card for a tribute/synchro/discard fodder or cannot be [b]used[/b] to ATK will be a nice bonus.

[.Nu-13]

Let's assume that "use" covers everything - Tributing, synching, discarding, searching etc.

[evilfusion]

Based on how Vicious Claw works, "use" refers to

-Activating
-Setting
-Discarding for costs

for S/Ts

For monsters, that includes

-Summon
-Set
-Attack
-Change Battle Position?
-Activate Effects
-Tribute
-Synchro
-Target with your own cards
-Search

Since the monster may already be in play, it can still be attacked and destroyed. Your opponent can still affect them. Your opponent can still make you discard them or mill them. They can still be milled from your deck or discarded (not for costs). You probably can't willingly discard them for things like Allure of Darkness. Continuous effects should still apply, because this doesn't negate the effects.

"Psi-Blocker lets you name a card, and forbids the use of that card and any of its effects until the end of your opponent’s next turn."\

"Do you think your opponent has a Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter face-down? Summon Psi-Blocker to the field and name Ryko with its effect before attacking that Set monster.

Are you afraid of Gorz the Emissary of Darkness? Name it with Psi-Blocker before attacking directly."

this is what use means.[/quote]

So they can still use it for costs?

One of the very few good Psychic monsters out there. I'd tech this at one or two, or side it at the least.

Vicious Claw's effect also states "use", and its ruling prevents it from being discarded for costs. The same rule applies here, to my understanding. You can't activate a card whose only valid cost is the selected monster, nor can you choose to use it for costs. I also assume you cannot target the card, so things like Offering to the Snake Deity can't target the Reptile named.

[burnpsy]

Just use Prohibition's rulings...

[Black W Mage]

and if for some reason I declare Psi-blocker? I'm too lazy to look up the rulings.

[evilfusion]

Then neither player can activate, Tribute, Synchro with, etc another "Psi-Blocker". I'm fairly certain the effect lingers, since Psi-blocker doesn't negate effects, just prevents their use after resolution.

Prohibition allows you to use the Prohibited card as a cost of another card's effect. You cannot use Vicious Claw for the cost of another card's effect after it was returned to the hand by it's own effect.

There's something deeper to the meaning of the word "use"... OR it would just be because Vicious Claw's effect that prevents its use due to an effect that has already resolved meaning it cannot be ignored, but then I couldn't see yet as to how other cards could still bypass Prohibition. Its not the same as the Sonic Jammer/Spiritualism ruling that I can think of, but I can't determine if it is that or another reason altogether x.o If it is something like this, I would expect Psy-Blocker to prevent the card to be discarded as well, unlike Prohibition.

As for everything else, there's too much to "cannot be used" for me to try and explain, since I have to get going but:

A Synchro Monster cannot be Special Summoned via a Synchro Summon with Synchro Material Monsters.

You CANNOT Special Summon a Fusion Monster with a Spell Card whose purpose is to perform a proper Fusion Summon of a Fusion Monster by using Fusion Material Monsters. This means that a Fusion Monster that "cannot be used" cannot be Special Summoned via Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Miracle Fusion, Future Fusion, etc BUT it can be Special Summoned via Instant Fusion for example. There might be something that's different about Instant Fusion though that might allow this, but I cannot determine that yet x.o I'm not sure about other cards whose main purpose is to Fusion Summon but not in a proper way.

A declared Synchro/Fusion Monster CAN be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck via a Card Effect (such as Summoner of Illusions or Starlight Road).

A monster that "cannot be used" cannot be used as a Synchro or Fusion Material Monster.

That's all I can think of atm x.o heading out now

[Mehmani]

I like this card quite a lot. Can delay a big play for a turn.

[TheTurtleOnceCalledGod]

One of the best psychics so far imo. It allows you to get around so many counters its not even funny, don't forget that is also says the card cannot use it's effect either, i.e., it cannot activate (makes synchro's like stardust vulnerable, but doesn't change cards already played that are continuous effects).
