Damnation, the Voidborn

[Resident Fascist]

 

2 Level 4 Monsters

Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and declare 1 Card Name: Your opponent Banishes all copies of that card from their Graveyard. 

Once per turn, you can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card and declare 1 Card Name: Your opponent Banishes all copies of that card from their Hand, then, Banish this card.

You can only use 1 "Damnation, the Voidborn" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

 

"It does not understand life. It does not understand emotion. It only understands hunger. The hunger to collapse countless galaxies into eternal pitch darkness."

 

Weird cross between D.D. Crow and Mind Crush. Not really sure if it's underpowered. Not sure if it should banish itself after using the second effect, but it's a Mind Crush you can use on your own turn, so I felt I had to put some restriction on it to not make Mind Crush less relevant.

Allow me to start off by saying that I do like this card, especially in the artwork, which looks perfect for this type of card. I may question why it is Psychic of all types, but that is mainly irrelevant to me.

 

The first effect I actually do really like mainly because it is an option either early game to punish SS abuse from decks like BA and Shaddolls for making such overzealous plays at the beginning, and at lategame where the opponent would need their resources from the grave and instead you cut them off from it like Nekroz and Red-Eyes. This could probably spark a debate about whether or not this would be better to run for this effect over Rhapsody in Berserk, but I would likely run this card over Rhapsody, who is good in its own way.

 

The second effect I am actually not a big fan of. It seems fair to only spring it during your turn considering you banish all copies and look at the opponent's hand. I am not entirely sure what would happen if you declared a name and your opponent does not have it. Does it just end up banishing itself? if so, then you already did the damage for looking at the hand, but I suppose it does punish blind players for doing that, and you can only spring it once, so I don't mind. My problem mainly lies in that it can only be used during your turn. One of the things I feel that makes something like Mind Crush decent is that you can activate during your opponent's turn, which may seem like a slow detriment, but if they activate the Jews or Rota, then you spring it, it can be a killer. because of such, I feel the second effect is rather limited, but considering what it does, I do not mind.

 

Overall, I do like this card and I would not mind running at all over Rhapsody, and its powerful, but not super OP like the Xyz we have seen recently like CDI and Ptolemaios

It's a psychic because it's an alien. The psychic type represents the strange, warped nature of it. I had thought of making it a Fiend, but I think Psychic fits better for a monster that wanders galaxies and devours all light from them (Yes, that's the intention from the lore. Banishing your opponent's cards = Plunging galaxies into darkness). Also, yes, it should banish itself after you activate the second effect, regardless of if you banish anything or not. If they do not have a copy, they show you their hand and nothing else happens, Damnation banishes itself and you continue.
