Normal Trap Card

 

Tribute 1 DARK monster with 3000 or more ATK; check your opponent's hand, all Spell/Trap Cards they control, and all cards they draw until the end of their 2nd turn after this card's activation, and destroy all Spell and Trap Cards.

This is just a slightly tuned-up version of EEV, but holy crap does it hit a lot of things. You'll pretty much destroy half of the opponent's cards and leave them dawdling for a bit until its effects wear off. Even though power creep has led to monsters being able to hold their own without S/T assistance, just blowing up all their S/Ts can still leave them reeling.

 

Then again, the activation requirement is pretty tight too. A 3000 ATK DARK monster normally means you'll sacrifice a boss monster which required some effort to field. Either that, or it's Grapha.

 

Hmmm...

May I point out how Kozmos can use this with Dark Destroyer/Dark Eclipser and get rid of any threats easily(which could win the ba match up even faster given how they struggle to beat the ships without backrow).

 

Of course thats just an example, but many other cases outside of kozmo can come to happen (rank 4s have crazy box too). And by the wide number of targets that this card can get rid of I could see this becoming a main deck staple and possibly unhealthy at some point. Though I dont have any idea on how to balance this right now.. With such a strong effect I can only think of a bigger cost, but that could make it unplayable or with an eff too different from the inteded original.
