A card to help deal with Pendulums a bit.

 

Pendulum Rejection

Counter Trap

 

When a monster(s) would be Pendulum Summoned: Pay 1500 Life Points; Activate 1 of the following effects:

-Negate the Summon, and if you do, shuffle that card(s) into the Deck.

-Shuffle up to 2 cards in your opponent's Pendulum Zone into the Deck.

You ever heard of Pendulum Hole (it recently got leaked for The Dark Illusions)? Card pretty much does this card's 1st effect, but without the cost.

 

As for the other one, I suppose you can use it in conjunction with your own P-Summons (P-Summon something, flip this and bounce the opponent's Scales). But otherwise, getting rid of the Scales AFTER they P-Summon doesn't do you much good; especially if they can just set newer ones. That, and said bounced Scales can be searched again.

A note for future reference: Card in written format needs a [Written] in the topic name with the card's name.

So basically... A combination of Time-Space Traphole and Solemn Strike. Unlike Time-Space, the card actually is able to negate the Summon as well as shuffle, but is limited to the Pendulum Summoning only. And unlike Solemn Strike, the card does not send the the Graveyard, but rather shuffles them into the Deck. This ciuld be helpful in preventing your opponent from having an Instant Fusion target with Norden.

The last effect could be helpful, but I don't really see it as being a gamechanger. Useful against Qliphorts by getting rid of Monolith, but wouldn't do much against Dracopals with Performapal Pendulum Sorceror in the Pendulum Zone, since the +1000 ATK boost remains in the Performapals even if the card leaves the field.

It's not a bad card, and is also a valid target for Guiding Ariadne. Well... I guess Pendulums can now try to outplay each other with Wavering Eyes as well as this card. A good sidedeck card, I suppose, but it's a card that will never be maindecked until you know that you're playing against a Pendulum deck.
