Fire Formation - Gyokkou

[jabber2033]

 

Activate this card by targeting 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponentcontrols. Your opponent cannot activate the targeted card in responseto this card's activation. While this card is face-up on the field, that Set card cannot be activated. All Beast-Warrior-Type monsters you control gain 100 ATK.

 

Helped me out at locals today and in the YCMCS.  Considering maining 3.

That sounds like a bit too much tbh. It certainly is good, but 3 could dead draw a lot.

Scumbag hat needed, apply within

This did Lily a whole hell of a lot of good in the YCMCS and general testing together. I knew it was good, but it is better than I had realized, right now.

What's so good about this? Is it because Yosenjus?

You lock down a card, and they can't respond unless they have another chainable card in addition to the trap.

 

It also +100s everything, is searchable, and can be used as fodder.

 

It's a much better MST in a good number of cases, not that MST should be discounted in general.

But that's only along Bear. I guess in non Beast-Warrior Decks Night Shot would be almost as good as this?

The context is in Fire Fist, not generic uses.

Pretty much This.
If they have a lone card, you can just use this to keep it from doing anything. Bonus points for This card acting as MST bait itself, which is pretty hilarious in it's own right.

Well yes, in Fire Fists of course this should be as good as MST if not better, mostly because it is searchable by the archetype.

I thought this card was brought up because it had newly found applications in the metagame (e.g. Yosenju) or something.

I mean I always thought it was good vs Nekroz too because it meant that I didn't have to worry about Solemn Scolding.

3 is too much imo, like how I feel about Tensu. Opening too many of Tensu/Gyokko means you have poor hands and will brick out a lot of the time, which is why you tend to play 2/2. It's still a great card though.
