[quote]Send 1 face-up monster to the Graveyard.[/quote]


Still say this should be printed. Would be the best removal spell in the game, but I doubt it'd move anywhere onto the banlist.

[Just Crouton]

I want this card. "Send" is amazing.

[~British Soul~]

It's funny because I was watching Yugi vs Pandora for teh hell of it earlier. I think this should be printed as well, the fact that it says send makes it great already.

[Toffee.]

>Send their Zenmain
>Send their Gachi
>Send their Stardust
>Send their Scrap Dragon

Lotsa' rage everywhere! =D

[Expelsword]

Too strong.

But with this card printed, creativity for destruction cards will become SO half-assed.

[Wildflame]

It would outclass every other 1 for 1 destruction card, not sure if I want that.

I care. :/

[Azphreal]

Do want. 'Send' screws over so much.

[STVB]

id like this, but i believe it needs some sort of cost

[Agro]

It needs a downside, however minimal. Something like pay 1000 LP.

[newhat]

This card is good if you're losing (to clear out Rai-Oh or big monsters for your recovery) and less good if you're winning (because it can't hit Set monsters). It dunks a whole bunch of stuff and has no cost or drawback.

The only reason you MIGHT run Soul Taker over this is to make stuff miss the timing. But this wouldn't be a 3-of, or even a 1-of, in everything.

"Face-up" is the only downside it needs.

idk why people think removal should be bad. .-.

[Expelsword]

Face-up is barely a condition.
How often are you not going to either a, know what their set monster is, or b, just attack over it?

[/quote]It's doesn't need to be bad, it just can't be that easy.

Why not? Why do people think monster destruction (1 for 1 at that) should be made worse?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Well, because if you actually spent time to build up to a boss monster, it shouldn't be gone in three seconds flat. Especially by a card that can't be countered by the most common destruction stoppers.

[/quote]What "destruction"?

And not making this doesn't make monster removal worse. :\

[This Account is Unplayable]

Fine, if you want to be specific, monster removal.

And I'm sure you could tell I meant worse than what this is. Our best removal spells right now are Smashing Ground and Soul Taker... Why shouldn't something like this be made, so some removal could actually see a decent amount of play?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Do we want Fifth Gadget again?

I think you're thinking from the mindset of the power creep, whereas everyone else is thinking from the mindset of a "balanced gamestate". Right now, we have anything but a balanced gamestate. There's plenty of cards running around that should be on the list to encourage more skillful gameplay, but since that's not going to happen, I think this could be printed as-is with no problem to counter-balance some of the more broken cards we're facing right now.

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

Balanced gamestates and power creeps shouldn't apply for cards with 1-for-1 removal, because most everyone runs some form of 1-for-1 removal. :\

What about the gamestate is imbalanced?

Last I checked, the metagame is completely loaded with different decks that all stand a good shot at winning.

And being a fast game doesn't mean anything's imbalanced at all. If anything, it prevents so many issues with time limits. And since when is there no skill involved in the game? Reads, combos and generally outplaying your opponent are all part of skill, not to mention side-decking, meta calls and scouting.
