Shadow stop

continuous spell

Players cannot summon DARK monsters.

Yeah, I'm not keen on a card that shuts off a few of the common Decks (see 'dolls, BA, Phantom Knights and whatever else is seeing play); even if it requires the opponent to MST it. 

 

Granted, this card is a dead draw if the opponent isn't running DARK (and is usually relegated to some ED stuff otherwise), but yeah this card is basically a floodgate against a common Attribute.

Reminds me of Consecrated Light.

 

So why is it that Light gets away with it but this card won't?

 

Maybe because Light can be squished in battle by anything that isn't DARK.

^ unless of course you run DNA Surgery and even then...

Altough the current meta is just "Oh you have backrow? "destroy,destroy,DESTROY"

 

Also I assume you still let people set their DARK monsters,if so then this card is not that broken,that and you should also make it so you can only control 1 face-up "Shadow Stop" at a time.

You mean Transplant, right? (Surgery is the Type one)

 

But yes, it does let you Set DARK monsters so you can at least do that. As for this card with respect to Consecrated Light, latter at least permits Flip Summoning whereas this is a full lock (albeit if the opponent has a DARK monster out before this gets summoned, they can still attack with this up).

Yeah I meant Transplant,I dun goofed there.

 

And I forgot about flip summons,yeah, if you use something like watts in combination with this your opponent will be very sad.

So yes, it should also let one flip summon their monsters.
