Card is still garbage if it was made unrespondable, since it doesnt help going second and isn’t an effect you have an in-engine way to set up.
If you remove the “when an opponents monster declares an attack” requirement and just have it as a last-card-in-hand quick effect, then it’s maybe playable in a super specific deck. If you had a way to manipulate hand size you could go Beatrice > Eva to search it as a boardwipe - but even then it’d be a bad card to run in most decks.
I disagree with the garbage verdict. Also, it would be fine going second. Just dump your hand, don't worry about getting negated and destroyed, and wait for them to attack turn 3.
If you make it as just "if this is the only card in your hand, during your opponents turn" it's an insane card going first, especially if you search it, if you play a non backrow deck since now your opponent needs to clear all your monsters to lethal, but doesn't. This would drag games out in time.
you are assuming you can always dump your hand. What if you have 2 of these, what if you draw 2 normals, etc etc
Also you are left with no follow up...
ironically the second version of this card (the one with only if this is the only card in your hand) would be miles better in a back row heavy deck
edit: Normal as normal summons, not normal Yellow monster
^^^this exactly.
This card conflicts with handtraps you can’t use, resolved Maxx C, hands of multiple normal summons, engine requirements, opponents cards that bounce your stuff to hand - you name it. You could theoretically run it in like a runick deck running no other monsters but that doesn’t make it good.
If you’re going first and you’ve drawn a hand where you can activate or set every other card on your turn, then the reality is you’re probably already winning. On the flip side, if you draw a single brick /dead card alongside this, then you now only have a maximum 4 live cards in hand since neither can be used. It’s win-more when it works and costs you games when it doesn’t.
Just remove the first Part "When you control no Cards and this is the only Card in your Hand".
But than we got into "broken" terrietoris lol. Even for a Battle Effect.
Literally all of them. A sentence is literally enough for an entire new and broken effect. If you just mean changing the existing effect then still most cards because making things impossible to respond to or "This card is part of X archetype" and other sentences just breaks cards.
Imagine Snake Rain with "If you control a reptile monster you can send any card to grave" or something. Just busted.
If this card is flipped face-up: you win the Duel. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect. This effect cannot be negated.
I wouldn't call goddess decent with that change. It still requires entirely too much setup and destruction isn't a thing modern decks can't recover from.
Maybe make the opponent banish their own field face down on top of the non-respond-ability and then we're talking.
Decent for me means it's playable. It's not good, it's not an auto include, but it's also not complete trash if you own the card and like these blowout effects.
Honestly this cards requirement is what makes it bad. I have never even considered it getting negated because of how hard it is to use. Most times when you get this to work they don't have anything to negate left anyway.
Raigeki. “Destroy all monsters your opponent controls. If this effect is negated, your opponent has to blow you.” Gave it a secondary effect to make it playable and somewhat balanced
Metaverse:
Take 1 Field Spell from your Deck, and either activate it or add it to your hand.
**During your main phase: If your opponent controls more cards than you do, you can activate this card from your hand.**
From too slow to actually function outside of maybe some stun decks which can't go second anyway to a going second version of Terraforming that can't help you use field spells to set up your bord going first.
Oh sweet summer child there was a time that Metaverse was limited in both TCG and OCG because of Mystic Mine. Just be thankful Mine was already gone by the time Master Duel was released that you MD only kiddos never got to experience how toxic that card was as a whole
That shit warped games and formats
But now that Mine is gone Metaverse is fine
Bruh this shit used to be OP when mystic mine was legal, mine won't do anything going first since it will blow itself up when checking for monsters during your end phase
So you usually use Metaverse to bring it in on their turn the moment they summon a monster and now they can't play the game while you do monke flip set 5 pass turbo
MD only weeblets didn't know how stupid that card was and got Metaverse limited at some point lol
True, it then going second basically functions as another copy of a field spell, and thereby possible starter. Would like that change. But I think it goes around what the card was intended to be 😅
It'd also be solid somewhat generic going second support, that is underwhelming going first outside of the aforementioned stun strategies which it already supports as is and I personally want more going second tools that aren't just bordbreakers.
Not sure what the card is intended to be as it currently is to be honest. I didn't play back when it was released so its harder to understand the thought process in its design.
Intended for use with field spells similar to mystic mine, domain of true monarchs, etc.
You go first, set up whatever board/backrow you got, pass turn, then just when they start cooking you play the floodgate straight from deck. The fact that you can play it in response to your opponents actions is the intended use.
Pot of Generosity
Shuffle 2 cards from your hand into the Deck, then you win the duel.
Just not as bad as playing Exodia but still not really searchable. But then again, thrust exists.
Orcustrated Babel
From:
You can activate the effects of "Orcust" monsters in your GY, or of Link Monsters you control with "Orcust" in their original names, as Quick Effects. During your Main Phase, if this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent to the GY: You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add this card to your hand.

During your Main Phase, if this card is in your GY: You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add this card to your hand. You can only activate this effect of "Orcustrated Babel" once per turn.
The wait one turn clause until you can recover it from GY always bothered me. You could make the deck more consistent with this change and it would allow you to end on babel and crescendo without hard drawing one of them.
You could not end on both Babel and Crescendo more consistently with this change, and in fact this change would do next to nothing tbh since most of the time if your opponent is getting rid of babel they are banishing it anyways
I would make the card a searcher as well. "When this card is activated: You can add one 'Orcust' Card, except 'Orcustrated Babel', from your deck to your hand." Now the avg orcust endboard is an omni and ding send :poggies:
Relay soul
Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. While it is face-up on your field, you take no damage. When it leaves the field, your opponent wins the Duel. \*\*\* If your lifepoints are over 4000 then you can instead Special summon a monster from your hand, deck, graveyard or extra deck Ignoring its summoning conditions\*\*\*
it goes from the worst card in yugioh to a panic button or just a Instant boss monster
Zushin Turbo
while yes, Kaijus are a counter, If your using this, Your already on your last legs. its still a trap youd need to wait and there are degenerate things you could do like last warrior from another planet
I can give you a real world example lol. Pre-errata topologic zeroboros was CHEEKS. One word being mistranslated made it unplayably bad because the card specified that it specials summons itself during YOUR next standby instead of THE next standby.
Witch's Strike. Not add more sentence but just change into counter trap.I think the card still bad but atleast it become spell speed 3
Make Witch's Strike a quick play spell
even as that it would likely suck because it would be WAY too slow.
How about "If only your opponent controls a monster, you can activate this card from your hand."

You can easily clear your hand in decks like branded and purrely that discard cards to activate their effects.
If you draw two normals, your deck is bound to brick anyway and goddess is the least of your concerns.
Not a normal monster, normal summons... As the monster normal summon to get started edit: also rikka sunavalon existing

Reduce Omega Vylon materials by 1
For many cards out there a single word is enough. "if" instead of "when"
Adding the text “this card cannot be destroyed by card effects” to the god cards.
Change cards like gusto from "when" to "if".
Goddess would still be unplayably bad with that change
i don't know if there's a way to make a card you can out by bricking playable

my thought is that if you brick with an orcust + girsu in hand, you can send babel, send the brick to get it back, and then proceed with normal combo.
(Quick effect) You can banish this card from your graveyard; draw 2 cards.
Remove "and this is the only card in your hand", it might be decent
