Soundproofed

[evilfusion]

You could have at least said "tl;dr" if you're not going to refute a word of my argument.

It can be a side deck option, but it's not going to shape the meta the way other side deck options can/have. Consecrated Light completely shut down Infernity, for example.

You've been treating the claims that it's mediocre as people either trolling or ignorant and mentioning how Heroes and stuff can use it effectively. Give a specific example of situations where it has this merit, or playtest the card a few times and let us know the results. The card does nothing sitting in the side deck. I want to know why anyone would ever put it in the main deck, even if they did it by moving the card from their Side to the Main.

lol I'm sorry evil fusion I truly value your input but your response was kind of long - I'm glancing over your response now - oh i'm not saying you are troll evilfusion - there are some on here that are guilty of that however - you're just conducting a valid debate with good points of reference.

Here we are mid to late format and we just got 2 monumental synchro beast cards - Reborn Tengu and Hyper Librarian (how do you have a hyper librarian - arent' they kind of calm by nature?) They are going to explode in synchro decks.

The new breed of Reborn/Librarian/Karakuri and such synhcro decks are lightning fast with how much they can spam onto the board - Soundproofed when it's played will stop their shenanigans for a turn. Pushing their win conditions away from them involuntarily is going to shift the game momentum for a hero deck or an exceed deck.

They can 'set' a card for that turn - I'm going to have royal decree active or skill drain and explode with 2 absolute zeroes and a shining on the turn they are dead and go for their throat. Since they can't synchro summon on that following turn the 400 LP I left them with after they dark hole my overcommittement won't matter...they'll set or attack for 1900 or so.

Soundproofed stops their draw power - their bounce power - their big beaters- their response and their win condition- with no Shi En to stop miracle fusion and no formula synchron to synchro during my turn for BRD then I can bust into massive fusion shenanigans.

The same would be true for exceeds - Heat Wave only works for normals and Discord can be negated (well destroyed) by a mst - this card is monumental - I could even see frognarch decks running it - anything that doesn't depend on synchros could abuse it. The writing is on the wall for synchros - they are about to lose their ignition priority soon and with soundproofed the overall tactical advantage falls more on the side of non-synchro decks which is just where konami wants it.

We need a better version of discord as well - a 'non-synchro' area.

(Hm...who did I piss off recently...could have sworn my rep was 132...*suspicious looks all around*)

I'm well aware of the spam potential of certain decks, like burnpsy's Morphs, Red Mage's Penguins, Fish decks, my Quasar Synchrons, and...okay, so I haven't faced many of the other decks mentioned.

The problem being that if they go first, this card is pretty useless against them, and if you go first and play this, unless you bring out enough to win that turn or next turn with no problem, it's just a temporary stall, a waste of a resource (and in heroes, aren't they a little pressed for both space and resources?), and can possibly just be a dead card altogether.

Even in your hypothetical situation, I'm skeptical how consistently you have either Decree or Skill Drain prepared, plus the resources to almost OTK like that. Having never faced your deck, I think your scenario is a little TOO convenient on your side and does not support the merit of this card as much as supporting your deck's speed. But if your deck is that fast and powerful, I wouldn't invest the card space for this, but instead use a card that would make the deck even faster and more powerful.

Playing this at a crucial time can win games. But I wouldn't go as far as to say this card's going to be the most amazing thing since sliced bread, which seems to be the approach you're taking; that this card is underhyped, and in time, not only will you be proven correct without a doubt, but we'll all feel like idiots for ever thinking otherwise.

Also, very few Synchros utilize priority. Off the top of my head, the common ones that do:

- Brionac. Oh god, Brionac.
- Armory Arm. However, priority does not help it from common responses like Bottomless.
- Ancient Fairy Dragon
- Infernity Death Dragon
- Scrap Dragon and the variations.
- Dark End Dragon
- Power Tool Dragon
- Thor, Lord of the Aesir

The ones that don't include Black Rose, Hyper Librarian, Trishula, Stardust, Red Dragon Archfiend, Mist Wurm, Catastor etc.

good point. I have not done any irl testing - I may start using it and be like 'oh crap - evil fusion was dead on' It may be that I'm just blinded by my own desires to abuse synchro focused decks, but I doubt that. I'd say I'll be loving this card for a very long time in side. But who knows? You're probably right. We will see. However If I see a YCS top deck has it listed in their side deck then right back to this topic I'll be going.

Put it in Watt decks. As long as you have Honest in hand, you're just fine. And on top of you shuttng down anything else the opponent can do, you'll be fine. With the exception of your opponent drawing cards (which is why Drastic/Drop-Off are perfect for Watt decks IMO), you can negate everything your opponent can do!

Also, play Non-Fusion Area just for lulz. Ab0 builds will be like "f*** this".

This is why my Naturias main LaDD and double Hope. Not this card, but cards like it in general.
