[/quote] So with 3 mst loling at Starlight Road, will this see more play?

[CDDRodrigo]

Dark Bribe is still superior in most cases.

[Resident Fascist]

No,because le card sucks

In theory it is decent. Always a +0. Its only cons are only negating Spells and somewhat depending on your opponent's resources.
Dark Bribe is always a -1, but ruins key plays if played correctly and can also negate Traps.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Being a net 0 makes it cools.

If we get the Dark World stuff to the TCG before the Xyz/Tour Guide/Sangan rule changes, I don't think this card will see more play.

Discarding spells is good in DWs?

So making your opponent waste their spells is bad?

[Lonk]

I should tech in Jurracs to make my opponent raeg.

"Your opponent can discard 1 card to negate this"

Anyone good will just negate it, right?

ITT: People still set their entire hands
though, I misread, sorry I thought it said "Card" not "Spell"

[Vough]

Spells are too good now to have to throw one away can be devastating. Even tossing a useless Duality would do a ton of good.

[evilfusion]

Discarding a dead spell isn't a big deal. The problem is deciding whether the Spell you're trying to use is more important than the Spell you'd have to discard. It can stop big plays.

Yes, but they still lose a spell.

[burnpsy]

There's a huge difference between discarding one card and discarding one spell.

The dude who has the option to, assuming they even have other spells, has to figure out whether or not it's worth it to ditch any of them to let the spell they activated go through.

That makes this decent. Decent isn't good enough, though.

[Toffee.]

They should make a Trap card variant of this card.
It would be hilarious.

[evilfusion]

Counter Fairies could still make use of this. Even if the Spell is discarded to negate the effect of Drain, the activation still occured so Counter Fairies should get their effects.

Do they have enough space for it, though?

I quickly read card effects, which probably explains why I misread.

Seven Tools is no longer "cool", as Heavy Storm and what-not came back.
Just swap Tools for Drains and see what happens.

Effect is essentially, "Activate only when your opponent activates a Spell Card. Your opponent lose the Spell Card they care least about at that moment." Fun, but inconsistent.
