Quiet Life [IDK the pack it's in but it's real I swear]

[ÆƵ–]

Continuous spell

Activate this card only if you control no monsters at the start of your Main Phase 1. Neither player can Special Summon monsters during the turn they Normal Summoned/Set a monster. Neither player can Normal Summon/Set monsters during the turn they Special Summoned a monster(s).

 

It's on dueling book and I don't think I've seen a thread on this thing. Seems like a neat floodgate thing. Discuss?

I do recognize it, think we discussed it before under a different name. Maybe.

Slow Life

Wikia says CP17 is the pack so not a regular expansion.

I think the intention was nice, but the outcome isn't gonna help much.

Normal-Summon dependent decks now cannot Special Summon, and Special Summon focused decks only need to think less about whatever Stratos clone they have.

 

It hurts the slower style more than the faster one IMO.

It's really kinda just another hurdle. Unlike most cards like this, it forces you to play fair since you have to activate it before committing to anything yourself (although admittedly, if you're playing this, you probably have your own ways around it).

 

As of right now, it stops the Predaplant engine and hurts the Brilliant Fusion engine and probably hits some other things I can't think of off the top of my head.
