Doomsday from the Dark

DARK

✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪✪ (Level 10)

[Zombie/Effect]

ATK/ 3000 DEF/ 3000

 

If a card(s) is sent from either player's hand  or Deck to  the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. Once, during either player's turn, if your opponent activates a card or card effect while you have at least 1 card in your hand:  You can have the activated effect become "Your opponent discards 1 card from their hand".

Basically a favorite past-time Zombie series Konami would probably never touch again.

Unless you're playing against Dark Worlds or some other opponent's Deck that mills your hand/Deck to the Graveyard (Hand Destruction says hi), this thing still has the same problems as the other two in getting triggered. Conversely, you could probably use this in Decks that force your opponent's effects to hit your hand. It is a lot more flexible in terms of summoning, but yeah.

 

Too bad it doesn't trigger on when a card gets milled from either Deck, because then Lawnmowing would be a legitimate strategy.

Decided to make its Summoning condition more lenient and flexible by making it where it Summons if your opponent mills or discards from either themselves or you. Probably would make it more relevant to current gamestate vs True Draco's and friends, and Lawn builds.

There is a multitude of cute plays but it is really hurt by the "by your opponent's card effect" clause. It follows the theme but it seems like the condition to bring it out is better fulfilled by its in-field effect or by using a weird version of Dark Worlds, but this card doesn't share a good Level or Type to mix with them.

 

With that in mind, I'd instead like it better if it had lower stats all around and lost the semi-nomi clause. Be just like the OG ones, where the situational Summon clause is mostly optional. I actually used to run Despair from the Dark in my Zombies back in the early Xyz era. People assumed Mezuki only revived fodder and simply weren't prepared to deal with it. It got brought out via its own effect a couple times vs Dark Worlds and Vampires (it was glorious).
