Crush Card Virus

[Slinky]

 

Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK; your opponent takes no damage until the end of the next turn, also you look at your opponent's hand and all monsters they control, and if you do, destroythe monsters among them with 1500 or more ATK, then your opponent can destroy up to 3 monsters with 1500 or more ATK in their Deck.

With that errata, I have a feeling that CCV may come off the list in April then. If not, then it will most likely come off the banlist after April.

 

Although, I wonder if the reason they errata'd it is IF they're planning to print Doom Virus Dragon in the next DRLG-esque set.

I feel like this benefits the opponent more than punishes them.

Welp we are definitely getting Critias soon, if the OCG doing it wasn't clear enough.

So... Using this at your End Phase is the most pro time to play it/will have the least impact regarding the 'they take no damage', but you would have already made all your plays and won't give a shit otherwise.
OR you can use right off the bat and hope you hit good stuff, but then you can't do shit in your BP.
OR you can flip it on the Opponent's turn.... And they get to set-up everything.

Bonus points if your Opponent has Fire Kings, because you just fucked yourself over.

....They are actually continuing those?
I was under the impression they abandoned that idea like the numerous other ones they had in the past.
NEX for example.

We would assume so because Legend of Heart states that it needs 3 different Legendary Knight monsters to work

Silly me, I forgot that Konami loves to print unplayable monsters.

[evilfusion]

Close. Legend of Heart says "up to 3". But yes, it strongly implies they plan to release all 3, and considering that the reception of Dragons of Legend was positive to my knowledge, they're unlikely to discontinue the idea of releasing former anime-only cards into the real game, including the Legendary Dragons/Knight.

 

NEX was from the anime, and the anime discontinued the support, so the OCG did also. The fact NEX was a really weak concept (as the NEX counterparts counted towards the 3 copy limit) with barely any gain helped. Same thing with the Metamorphosis cards like Neo Bubbleman (the Clayman version never got released, and Metamorphosis being banned probably killed the idea further).

Mask Change is basically the evolution of the NEX idea though. A few details have been reworked, but the idea those started was Fusion Monsters with no Materials (Neo Bubbleman was reworked into an Effect Monster in the OCG, but was a Fusion Monster in Seasons 1 and 2.)
