Compulsory Evacuation Device

I want this to come back to 2 and I feel it's realistic.

 

At 1, it's honestly kinda bad, and it only gets worse Post-PRIO, so I don't see a problem with having 2 of it. 3 of it seems a bit much in the TCG format, but 2 sounds fine.

It's realistic that we'll eventually see this again at even 3.

It's a very good staple, but I often find myself using Torrential, Bottomless, and others before this card.

Also, when Pendulums become more widely used, returning to the hand will actually be returning to the hand instead of to the Extra Deck.

 

The card is a very interesting tech in Madolches, but other than that, there's not much else.

If we move this to 2, can we move Bottomless to 0?
....Please?
(Shoosh. I can dream, can't I?)

 

No. Bad Armz. Go away.

 

But yeah, I see this coming back to to, even with the recent TCG logic to hit all good backrow. It has fallen out of favor recently.

For a card with such a simple sentence that comes at no cost or timing restriction to be Limited, it says a bunch about how it's a strong example of Boring but Practical.

Interesting article.

Yeah being "cool but impractical", or rather being something not done all that easily or all that often, is what makes it cool. When stuff tries to get "cool but practical" it's too much of an explosion and it eventually becomes the new standard of "boring but practical".

bottomless at 2 and this at 3

 

because why not?

 

Because that would be awful for the game. The opponent could never do anything. Ever.

I hope you're not serious.
These cards aren't awful for the game in small dosages but seriously they don't really need to go past like 1-2. I'd prefer to see some of them at 0 or even -1.

That was obviously a troll, they should remain at 1 in my opinion, but bottomless could be put at 2 due to all the pendulum thing

So you made yourself look stupid in a bad attempt to be funny? And then failed?

 

TGM, meet the new TGM. Shake hands, raise dongers, touch dongers, etc.

 

OT: This card is funny since you could play it and imagine you're launching whatever monster into the sky. Working at a lot of times and being able to bounce your own monsters is nice, but you know, it's not really permanently removing the card in question. Against some monsters, you just really shouldn't use this card. There's things like Cydra who would just come back as if nothing happened, and then there's also monsters who get to use their NS effect a second time. Bouncing an ED monster is great, even if it lets your opponent Summon it again without running multiples of the card.

There was some point where this card was completely useless though, at least in my area.

JD would be way too common, and Synchros could swarm more than this card's power could hold back. For example, I ran a Rekindling deck during the Synchro era.

 

It was weird because as the game changed, we suddenly became all "why didn't we notice this before?" Though that was why.

Just like Solemn Judgment's potential 4000 pay was way too much in exchange for it's versatility back when the game was slow enough that you could easily draw into the more specific options and could never drain your hand so you wouldn't mind discard costs.

Then as the game changed, it's bad design started to shine and kept on going until the banlist happened.
