Toffee. Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Once per turn, if a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or by card effect: Draw 1 card. By today's standards, this card is pretty ghetto. However, I've always liked the idea behind it; Letting you draw if a monster you control is destroyed regardless of method, and regardless if it ends up being Banished or not. It also doubles as a bit of a safety net. 'Course, it's not a bad card by any means, since it boils down to the fact that This card is merely a gimmick that can be exploited if it's in the right Deck, since otherwise it's pretty random. Or whatever. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I LOVE this card in scraps. Orthros says hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 It was a good card on release. It was then immediatwly powercrept out by DUEA. Only usable in Purepal, as no other deck is either that destroy happy OR doesn't need this as a dead draw instead of better cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darj Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 When this card was first revealed, I thought it would mark the next stage of the powercreep and would function as a better deck thinner (replacing Upstart, Duality, etc.), taking all decks to the next level. My logic behind this was that, in theory, even casual/rogue decks could staple this to turn their monsters into floaters, in addition to their effects. Needless to say, things didn't go that way: it was soon outpowercreeped as Robin pointed out, lower-tier/rogue/casual decks normally don't bother with running this, and nowadays it is only considered in decks that actively destroy cards.Well, maybe it indeed was a sign of the next powercreep stage, but it was kind of overshadowed by DUEA.

evilfusion Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've seen it as pretty effective in a TG Synchro Deck, and it really helps with their tendency to run out of cards when actually using Synchro Summons, plus Wonder Magician/Power Gladiator net a draw when they die, and the base monsters search other TGs when they die. Then again, the version I saw also runs a fair amount of defensive S/Ts, so it can have a ton of longevity...provided they don't get Field wiped too much.

ihop Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Actually BA played this for a while until NECH came out, at least in some builds. In the right place it's very good but it's never a guarantee that you'll be able to resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Card is silly in Scraps. Not that Scraps are a competitive deck, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
