Very well designed card. A sign that someone working at Konami might actually enjoy toying with the concept of 'good card design' - but those are rare enough that it was probably just a fluke.

More like early game stages. The fact that Konami decided the "money" route instead of the "game" route is somewhat determining the future of Yu-Gi-Oh! as a whole. I just hope Konami does the right thing and make a good format that can actually handle the meta instead of banning every single god damned overpowered card they make for money's sake. Actually, card's like these should've been designed in the first place, no if, no ands, no buts about it!

An amazing card. It's always worth the Spell negation or Spell discard it provokes. I don't think generic card negation should have ever gone beyond this level up to the Solemn cards (even though Judgment is older).
Well..... Dark Bribe is interesting too.

I am not compelled to now make a comparison between this and Bribe:


Magic Drain:
+ A -1 for your opponent regardless of what your opponent does
- can only negate Spells

Dark Bribe:
+ Can be used to negate either Spells or Traps (including Solemns for the lulz)
- is a +/-0 for your opponent (losing a S/T, but getting a free draw), and is thus a -1 for you (needing to use Bride to make the negation)



... and suddenly I'm compelled to make a Trap counterpart to Magic Drain. *flies off to Written Cards*
