Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Everyone should know it by now, but here's a summary Magic Cylinder Normal Trap Card Negate an opponent's monster's attack and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the attacking monster's ATK. A "Pure Karakuri" deck got top 4 in regionals with 2 Magic Cylinder maindecked. I think the main reason it may have worked for them is because their deck is an OTK deck, on top of how many Life Points players pay nowadays. Therefore, the opponent is more than likely going to be weak very quickly in the duel, and a Magic Cylinder will push for that last bit of damage that ends the game. The person who played the deck also said it helped create mind games once the opponent knew they had the card, where they didn't want to attack due to fear of losing enough life points to be in the danger zone/lose.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wNGvT.png[/IMG] Hyperion still thinks otherwise. OT: MST Bait is MST Bait. But it is a good tech against Power Decks like Agents, who can Summon lots of high level monsters with lots of ATK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Psyduck Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Not a bad card, if you're facing a high ATK monster, but I guess people would tend to prefer the removal from D Prison/Mirror Force/whatever to the burn. I seem to remember it being on the banlist at one point, which says something about how the game developed. Not OT: Got two of these in 1 Battle Pack this week.

Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 yup. But he did this all during the turn and I let him get his T.G. and stuff since I knew he had "Starlight Road" face-down (he tried derping it when I MSTed), so I waited for Quasar. He negged, I outplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Tigerwolf Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Other cards just do it better. This card deals damage, but doesn't get rid of the problem card in the first place. D. Prison, Mirror Force, etc do, which is why they are more preferable. However, in a meta that deals with Life Point intake to negate cards, these at 3 could start a difference. A minor one, but none the less a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Main Deck space is so cramped anyway that Magic Cylinder can usually be cut. I'm aware that it's a fairly decent card, I'm not saying otherwise. But, like said, other cards do it better.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 No card does Magic Cylinder's job but Magic Cylinder, and I guess that one Dimensional card that forces your opponent to take your Battle Damage. I think what you mean is that "other cards accomplish more at that time". EDIT: Also, it was a girl, not a guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcfgTzOxSGU&feature=g-high-u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Have teched this card once or twice this year. My biggest prey was a Red Nova Dragon at 6500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 This card is good because it can win you games on your opponent's turn with no other setup. This card is bad because if it [i]doesn't[/i] win you the game the card presence you frittered away may cost you it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well you can always chain this card to Mirror Force to get rid of the attacking monster AND deal loads of damage o3o But yeah, I like this card Used to use it a lot, tbh And I feel it can be very useful Especially ever since I played the GX GBA game and Zane summoned Cyber End Dragon with Overload and I used this Second turn of the duel - win .-.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 In my Acid Golem Burn deck, I ended up winning because of this, since my opponent was more weary about my golem plays. I also didn't draw into a Creature Swap the entire time during the third duel (we played 3 duels, but I won all of them). I sided this in. Usually it is not in the main deck because swapping Acid Golem is the deck's win condition, not a secondary condition. However, he didn't have heavy the entire duel, and ended up walking right into this with Red Nova Dragon. He only had 2000 Life Points left anyways, but overkill is the best kind of kill.
