Hand Control (Anime Card)

[leafbladie]

First off, I'd like to clarify this is a troll card, but it's a troll card in the same way that Present Card is a troll card. It's a dumb useless card that does nothing but benefit your opponent unless you do a lot of stupid stuff, and fill a lot of prerequisites.

 

So, like 2 years ago, Komoney decided to release a lot of cards from the original YuGiOh series that hadn't yet been made into cards. I thought, this is pretty cool, seeing these cards that would originally have been pretty broken, like Claw of Heremos actually work in today's meta. However, now they released Lullaby of Obedience, and that made me finally think it'd be really awesome if this card was a thing. So without further delay, I present Hand Control:

 

 

Lore: Pay 2000 LP, declare 1 card name. If the declared card is in your opponent's hand, your opponent must activate it, if the conditions are correct.

 

The card is basically unchanged from it's anime counterpart, except for the cost. Like Lullbay of Obedience it has a cost of 2000 LP for it's strange and unique effect. Honestly, it'd be almost impossible to change its effect much more, other than making it so you can summon the declared monster to your side of the field.

 

Now you might be thinking, "Leaf, why are you posting this trashy card, at best this a troll card for gimmick decks." To you I'd say, "yes, that's true, but there are so many interesting ways to troll your opponent with it," so I felt just like Present Card, which on its own would do nothing but help your opponent, it needs to be made so you can make those dumb combos to make your opponent say "I can't believe that just worked". So here's the standard play-by-play. You set all your cards except Exchange and Relay Soul from your hand, then you use Exchange to give Relay Soul to your opponent, then you activate your set cards which could be draw power cards like Card of Demise, Pot of Duality, etc. unless you've already set Hand Control of course, and then you use this card to force your opponent to activate Relay Soul, boom, they're forced to summon a monster which when killed will automatically make them lose.

 

This could potentially allow you to run a no monster Deck, so you could abuse draw power cards like Card of Demise, Into the Void, Pot of Desires, Pot of Duality, etc. While running 3 copies of Exchange, 3 copies of Relay Soul, and 3 copies of this card. It's a 3 card combo so it's pretty clunky, and you'd need a Raigeki, Dark Hole, or some other card to destroy the remaining monster, so that already basically makes it a 4 card combo. If your opponenet Xyz Summon using it, that'll also give you a bad time, as Xyz Summoning makes the loss effect stop applying.
