Blake Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 (The bottom-right card)竜星の九支 (Ryuusei no Kyuushi/Nine [branches?] of the Yang Zing) [Name is a pun on 竜生九子, a homophone for thenine sons of the dragon]Counter Trap CardIf you control a “Yang Zing” card when a Spell/Trap Card or monster effect is activated: negate that activation, and if you do, return that card to the owner’s Deck, then destroy 1 other “Yang Zing” card you control.

The Nyx Avatar Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not bad; kind of a Stellarnova Alpha-eske card for Yang Zing. No cost; a strict "once per turn" clause, shuffling instead of destroying, and all you need is to control a Yang Zing monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Oh look, an "omni-Counter" Trap for Yang Zings, how creative, right?Then consider that they already can play the Zefra Counter Trap (or at least I have seen some builds play it), also this Trap should be searchable by Zefraniu as well... IDK, could Yang Zings become metaworthy when they can potentially play 6 omni-Counters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 well then, this thing is more than enough to help start combos. i can see this taking the place of torrential tribute easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Gorrell Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 The card is cool, but with all this random support from the last few packs, is it safe to assume that INOV is out of ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragulas Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Yang zings need more their own sky iris than this, standard/pure builds already run a lot of traps, but its nice to have it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Well, it's neat they have their own counter trap, but even Zefra Divine Strike gets around in the deck better cause people run the turbo variant with Iris and the Zefras. I expected something to compliment this build, but this is alright for a standard floodgate.dek kind of variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Am I the only one who thinks this is horrible design? Seriously, I understand YZ isn't the best deck but I feel like this enables so much in a single card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 The card is cool, but with all this random support from the last few packs, is it safe to assume that INOV is out of ideas? Well, at least the cards there are good. Most of them, I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizardonx Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 A counter trap is pretty slow if you're using it for enabling plays. I'd rather just use metalphosis or the real Sky iris. Come to think of it Yang zings don't have a field spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it Yang zings don't have a field spell.Celestia is their implied field spell. It takes up the space for a Yang Zing Spell in New Challengers. anyways, I keep going back and forth on this. Notably, that it is live the moment you NS a Yang Zing. The problem with that is that it's choreographed, with the pro being that you can't simply run over said YZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it Yang zings don't have a field spell.normally i'd agree, but this is literally a non-destructive solemn warning for yang zings alone, and it can even blow up your monsters to get you started or keep you going. it's slow, but even one resolution could (and should) leave you in a really good spot.

Progenitor Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I mean....eeeeeeehhhhhhh. It's pretty good, but it doesn't do a whole lot to solve the deck's problems. Seems like one of those "run a couple if you have space" cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I mean it's not what they need but it's still a strong as funk card. Can't really go wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nai's theory of the 11th Qli card is legit then we'd need a zefra to balance it out Zefra meta please. It definitely can.Pendulum Controlzing?

The Nyx Avatar Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Card of Demise Yang Zing best variant gg no re.Because clearly the best thing to throw into a Deck that Special Summons, but usually upon destruction, is a card that hinders Special Summons.

IQuitDolphin Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Because clearly the best thing to throw into a Deck that Special Summons, but usually upon destruction, is a card that hinders Special Summons. You deliberately lower the ceiling to a point to increase the potency of the deck, as summoning Baxia and all other wombo combos require a great dedication of resources to successfully establish a strong board, whereas Demise reduces the deck's inherent weakness to Maxx "C" while still making strong comparable opening boards. Even going second you can still use Jiaotu with this since it's still a Yang Zing card. It's the same concept used behind Demise Kozmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
