TDIL-JP077 早すぎた帰還 Hayasugita Kikan (Premature Return)
Normal Trap Card
(1) Banish 1 card from your hand, then target 1 of your banished monsters; Special Summon that monster in face-down Defense Position.

 

Okay, but why? I don't see any Deck that benefits from having banished monsters that would like them face-down. Now, it's interesting that you can re-Summon what you banish, but I feel like there are better ways to do something like that. Maybe it's something I am totally missing, but I don't see this being a useful card.

[Trebuchet MS]

True. A lot of cards that get banished regularly and don't mind being face-down for a turn are often viable targets for Escape from the Dark Dimension. Still, the fact that it's a Trap means you can just do this on the End Phase of your opponent's turn, giving them a very tiny window to interact with what you're Summoning before you can turn it face-up. It's not for everyone, but I'm certain there are a few Decks that can milk a good mileage from this card.

[Toffee.]

It's a generic Unicorn Beacon.... That Summons things Face-down.

 

Times like this I wish we still had Redox.

[Delibirb]

Pot of the Forbidden, I guess?

 

Art is funny, thats about it.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

I presume you can only activate this if you already have a guy banished, even if you intend to summon what you banish for the cost, similarly to that lightsworn?

That is correct. Also similar to Cydra Nova or Daigusto Emeral.

[goodfusion]

The art is summoning back Esper Girl... why would anyone do this, as surely you wouldn't get her effect?

 

Seems kinda bad due to the cost but otherwise a very interesting card.

use leviair instead

Maybe the art was created first? It's also not the first card from the art that doesn't work with the card itself.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Do Sybil banish stuff? This really only seems good for setting taboo from hand, and even then I think it is worse than using it as a tribute for tarotrei and summoning it from grave with her.

[The Warden]

Sybil banish their Ritual to search a Sibyl monster. But they don't banish monsters, unless you used Gold Sarc or something.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Then... scapeghost in Shiranui..? That's the best I can do, and it is pretty horrid.

Remember how Face-Down Banished Cards work. This card states "banished monster", which means it cannot target face-down cards because it won't know if those are monsters or not.

They mean the FLIP monster

Pot of Cupidity is what you're thinking of.

[VCR_CAT]

Pot of Cupidity is what you're thinking of.

 

Ah, so you're right.

[Neutrality Man]

This is quite clearly the neutered replacement for RFTDD... Only it's nowhere near usable. Anything that wants to recover banished monsters wants that card face up.

[Expelsword]

Use it to recover Magician of Faith? It's LIGHT, so it's not very hard to banish.

[Alastar Rainford]

In limited you can resummon used Jars...

[vla1ne]

in skull servant decks you can get back banished princes in exchange for something useless from your hand. not sure if it'd do all that much, but it's a good start.

[Darj]

Esper Girl looking really cute there. I never realized her weapon had that rope attached, and seems to be more of a flail than what I assumed was an staff/rod, until I saw this card's artwork closely.

The card could have gotten away without the banish-from-hand cost IMO, but I guess it is meant to enable cards that want to be banished form the hand.

[Sleepy]

I like how they added D.D. Crazy Beast.

 

An issue with this card is not the "banish from hand" part on itself, but the fact said part is a cost. I think it doesn't need it to be a cost.

but anyways, it still is alright. I compared it more to D.D.R. than to Escape from the Different Dimension. In that respect:

 

Pros:

Doesn't stay equipped for your monster to die.

It is a quick effect.

 

Cons:
It cannot be used immediately when drawn (because Traps).

If you prefer triggering Special Summon effects, not for you.

 

Wanting your discard banished or in the Graveyard is more of a personal deck preference, and so would be the "can use in Flips" part but there aren't enough good generic Flips out there for this. Maybe if Shaddolls get a Miracle Fusion..... Do they have one?

[Darj]

Shaddolls have no Miracle Fusion, sadly. Although IMO they could get away with one at this current metagame state, but that's a different topic xD

 

And this card is just too impractical to be any good, at least at this stage of the game.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Shaddolls have no Miracle Fusion

It's called Allure of Darkness, now happily at 2/3 depending on which format you play.

 

That being said, this being a +0 with Dolls at best AND a Trap regardless really kills it.

 

If it summoned in face-up you could atleast make the argument for DMoC, but even that's gone now

 

Would I run it, no. It is awful. Kinda. Could it be used in a pretty nifty way, sure.

[Darj]

Errr, how exactly is Allure comparable to a "Miracle Fusion"-ish spell?
