[Written] Salvaged from Oblivion

Looks like someone really wants to offset the cost of Pot of Desires. So, this is a 2-for-2 card exchange, and has a hard OPT to keep it in check in case face-down banishment becomes a manipulable mechanic (e.g. banishing face-down specific cards to retrieve them later for combos or extended plays). But I'm not sure if is a healthy card to make. I mean, in combo with Desires it practically becomes a "Discard 1 card: Add to your hand any 2 cards from the next 10+ cards on the top of your Deck" which in a way is akin to an stronger Pot of Duality, and without the Special Summon lock. It also works with Toon Kingdom for a similar effect, although it is not as rewarding as Desires. But, either you play it along Desires, or you don't play it at all...

I guess the card would be fine if Desires didn't exist, which is kinda ironic assuming you made this to ease the cost of Desires in the first place.

I think what you can do about this card is something among the lines of:

Add 1 of your banished cards to your hand, and send 1 to the Graveyard face-up. You can only activate "Salvaged from Oblivion" once per turn.

(No discard cost)

 

That way, you remove the potential of recovering 2 combo and/or power cards, while keeping the card somewhat creative with a second effect instead of a single, bland one.

Actually... I forgot the rulings on face-down banished cards. Can the owner freely check them or not? What was the ruling issued for "PSY-Framelord Omega" regarding the recovery of face-down banished cards? Because if you can't check them, then this card loses power by not being able to pinpoint the card(s) you want from the face-down banished ones.

You are allowed to freely check face-down banished cards, you have to, in order to ensure you don't make illegal moves. The only way to recover them is through Necroface and Elemental Hero Electrum I believe. So yeah, this card is way too strong as is if run alongside Pot of Desires
