Saw this topic at the main forum. Thought it'd link me to a MTG thread because the name didn't really sound Ygo-ish enough. Interesting.

 

Junk Synchron-like effects are pretty much always welcome in any archtype.

... Nope. Can't think of a use for Drewes over Kamenleon.

The novelty to go into 66 or Nightmare in exchange for a searchable Tuner that, more or less, does the same thing as Drewes does not seem worth it. Yes, Drewes doesn't lock you down for a turn, but that shouldn't be a problem when you gain access to King Of the Feral Imps and LV. 8 Synchros (and Catastor, in Umbralis' case).

If I'm missing something, feel free to tell me, but between the fact that Kamenleon can grab non-level 4, the fact that its searchable, and the fact that it's a tuner, all while sharing most, if not all, of Drewes' good targets makes me really wonder what they were going for here.

Especially when removing the effect negation would make for stupid plays.

EDIT: Recuring Nightmare is what I was missing.

You can continue to Special Summon is the biggest thing this has over Kamenleon. Also Recurring Nightmare, as you said.

Zombie Master?

Zombie Master?

 

well the effect is negated so it would make more sense to run a monster with actual synergy, but yes, it is a target.
