Synchronized Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 [quote]During either player's turn: You can banish this card from your hand or Graveyard, then target 1 "Battlin' Boxer" monster you control; banish it until your next Standby Phase.[/quote] So I've been playing around with this at 1 in my Boxer build that I play IRL, and it's worked wonderfully. I didn't like it at first, but realistically it's a neat tech card in that it lets your monsters dodge lots of things. Worked out well in the Dragon Ruler match-up as well, as you can force Big Eye's effect to fizzle among other things. The ability to get it to the Graveyard quickly (with Chain, Headgeared, etc.) avoids dead drawing into it, and on top of that its functionability as a hand trap more or less means it lets you get out of some situations while also forcing your opponent to waste a card. I wasn't a huge fan of it at first, but in testing it's actually worked thoroughly well to the point where I've decided to keep 1 mained. Thoughts? Has anyone else tried it?

Faytl Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thing about this is, the main Boxers you'll want to dodge effects like that are Leadblow and Caestus if you use him. And in those cases, they lose their Xyz Material and Leadblow loses any boosts he's gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hence why I only play the 1, but I'd rather reset Yoke than have a Big Eye take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 ...then use Effect Veiler? I'd rather lose Yoke to D-prison than blink it out and back in as a vanilla 2200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 ...then use Effect Veiler? I'd rather lose Yoke to D-prison than blink it out and back in as a vanilla 2200. Hand OR Graveyard. The last part is a key aspect of why the card is even remotely considerable in Boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
