Terrible, next?

 

I haven't played this game in 10 trillion years so clearly I'm the leading authority on what to play. I can only really speak generally on the subject so... let's go!

 

Burn damage:

 

You're better off just drawing 3x Ookazi and 2x Final Flame. Or 1x, or whatever the rules are for drawing cards now.

 

Filling your grave with Monsters:

 

Stuff like Card Trooper or Kuribandit do a better job of flooding the grave and milling.

 

Infernity!?

 

Honestly, I'd rather just draw 5x spells or traps and set them all instead of drawing this.

 

It's a monster!

 

Wastes a normal summon just to use it's effect.

 

Take it as the sum of it's parts?

 

There's cards that do more burn for going minus, quicker ways to get stuff to the grave, and more precise ways ways to empty your hand (Fabled Raven).

 

It's... not that good. Please send in the next card.

It's also a terrible topdeck because it'd essentially be a vanilla if you draw into it when you have no other cards in hand.

It's...a slightly more powerful Full Salvo...but also still bad especially since it's a monster with a (Presumably) shitty type in insect.

Am I the only one who is amazed to see Pika posting again?
