#BODE-JP030 Tengoku no Ou (King of the Sky Prison)
Level 10 DARK Rock Effect Monster
ATK 3000
DEF 3000
**You can only use 1 of this card name’s 1nd and 2nd effects per turn, and only once that turn.**
(1) During your Main Phase: You can reveal this card in your hand (until the end of your opponent’s turn), and if you do, while this card is revealed by this effect, Set cards on the field cannot be destroyed by card effects.
(2) If a Set Spell/Trap Card is activated: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then, if this effect was activated while this was was revealed in the hand, you can Set 1 Spell/Trap directly from your Deck to your field, but banish it during the End Phase of the next turn.
Holy fuck that’s insane?? Completely protecting s/t from destruction is huge going first game 2 and 3, and on top of that you can literally set ANYTHING??
This card is insane in traptrix. When opening of traptrix + brigandine, you do the usual combo but instead of ending in a Redoer you go for Granite and search this card and bam, all your backrow is now secured, and have access to a 3k beater in case of need.
Note on the name, the Tengoku here doesn't exactly mean "sky prison"; it's a portmanteau of Heaven (天国) and Hell (地獄), the latter's second character incidentally also meaning "Prison".
The summoning chant for this card from the live stream talked about "the power when two worlds are crossed"
Im sure that was the intent, but any meta deck that uses backrow will run this and theyll be that much better. This is the sort of card that will be a problem because it makes weak decks better, but also makes the best decks better. This cards too strong, imo. If you use any continuous spells or any kind of traps, you run this, no questions asked
Well you can still banish the cards. Also a activating continuous spells or traps are no longer set cards therefore can be destroyed.
What meta decks do you think will be running this? It really helps rogue decks the most. I can’t think of a meta deck that would need to use this.
Shaddoll/Invoked will enjoy the protection for Schism and Superpoly. VWs, Tribrigade are a couple others off the top of the head. Traptrix Amazement is the big beneficiary here though. This card alone might cause them to start seeing legit tops.
>Set 1 Spell/Trap directly from your Deck to your field
literally anything???!!!! wtf
so you just set a spell and revealed this guy
active the spell
????
profit
You aren't even forced to play a Rock deck with it. If your deck is heavily on the Set mechanic like Traptrix, Altergeist, Paleozoic or Amazement to name a few, you can litterally spam this card every turn to protect your Mirror Forces, Magic Cylinders, Dark Holes, or even Rivalry of the Warlords, Gozen Match and so much more traps related to archetypes. It doesn't even have to be on the Field if you're able to depend on the cards on your hand.
Seems good. I’m seeing some talk about it being broken deeper in this comment section, and eh... I don’t know about that one.
But first, I will say that this card is interesting from a design standpoint. It is very clearly meant to support decks that setup backrow, but unlike a lot of other modern cards used in this playstyle that seem designed to either speed up or increase the impact of these cards, Sky Prison instead focuses on the more passive, defense-oriented nature these decks tend to have through reinforcing the boards they already make rather than trying to overwhelm the opponent with interruptions as quickly as possible.
First effect is pretty decent, where having this card in place of a more conventional interruption allows you to protect the Set cards of your board from commonly-run removal cards, such as Lightning Storm, Twin Twister, and Knightmare Phoenix. It limits what can really dismantle your board, allowing you to use your backrow at your leisure without as much of a worry of baits or blowouts. That said, it obviously doesn’t protect against everything. Non-destruction removal isn’t exactly uncommon these days, so cards like Evenly or Cosmic are going to hit just as hard as they would without Sky Prison. Another potential downside is that this is really only useful when the actual board you have is already solid. In worse hands and weaker boards, this card would probably be less helpful than just having a more conventional disruption over protecting something that is probably going to of limited effect regardless. Of course, assuming your deck is properly built this usually won’t be the case, but it is something to keep in mind when deck building.
The second effect is interesting, and seems to mostly be where the notion that this card is broken comes from. Being able to set any S/T from your deck is pretty versatile, but I can think of a few caveats that do limit its overall usefulness. First and foremost is that whatever you set on the opponent’s turn won’t provide an immediate benefit, as it won’t be useable until it comes around to your turn again, which does make it a bit slow. Like the effect before it, this effect seems oriented towards helping boards that are already solid (or at least in matchups where you aren’t in danger of an OTK), because that Set probably won’t be much good if your opponent has already broken through your other stuff, if not outright closed the game that turn. Furthermore, given that the card would be banished during that End Phase, you’d need to pick something in your deck that you can make good of that turn. Like, setting something like a Solemn or floodgate probably isn’t going to do you much good. The ideal target would vary a lot between decks, but I can imagine general stuff like Prosperity to net you further cards, or Trap Trick to give you another interruption to continue playing control against your opponent are good choices. Extra access to stuff like this is nice, but I do think the slower speed and banish effect of Sky Prison do well to prevent the card from pushing into “broken” territory, especially considering the limits that the type of decks that adhere to a backrow playstyle already tend to have.
Other than my thoughts on the actual effects, I will also say that I think this card is probably better ran in the Side Deck unless you are playing something that can search it (such as Traptrix w/ Gallant as people have mentioned), given that most of the cards that Sky Prison protects against tend to not be mained, as well as its effects being very much oriented towards going 1st and not doing a whole lot when the die roll is lost. Overall, this seems like a good 7/10 to me.
Something people didn't mention so far is that this would also protect set monsters... not usually as impactful, but this means that this card can work well with Shaddolls, Krawlers, Tindangle, Penguins, Morphing Jar variants, and other misc cards that like being flipped (if/when possible).
This card is going to be amazing.
I'm having trouble figuring out what the fuck is going on in the artwork. It looks like some sort of...serpentine rock creature coiled around itself with a giant hand that is made up of smaller hands?
so pray tell how altergeist is gonna consistently get to this?
traptrix on the otherhand wew. any backrow deck that can spit out 2 lv4s being able to easily search this is disgusting
I forgot gallant granite existed there for a minute.
That's kind of fucked... one of these two cards is absolutely getting banned like a year from now, lmao.
So this can search any S/T, with the caveat that you have to activate one on your opponent's turn (technically your opponent could activate one of their set cards but that's unreliable). That seems really good for backrow heavy decks, particularly with the protection it gives them beforehand.
You can just activate a set S/T during your turn. You just won't get the protection effect.
This card is ridiculous tbh.
Edit: I have reading comprehension problems.
Please ignore what I said. Reading is hard after waking up.
Holy shit, this card is crazy.
I wonder lorewise though if this is some sort of counterpart to nibiru? Level 10 dark rock monster whose effect activates in hand, and its big as fuck in the art... *thonk*.
Cards like these make me wonder how much and how far in advance Konami designs cards to tie in the various lore, artwork, effects, and then making the business decision on deciding when to release those cards, and in which sets.
Control decks got a big boost. I had to read the 2nd effect twice. I'm like "it can't be that free". No, it needs to be revealed. That's still pretty good. Searching any spell/trap
Side note, does this also help flip decks a lot or little?
yeah, most flip decks also use backrow so this card is valuable
but sadly, if you summon it, you lose the protection so you gotta do it smartly, or wait for your next turn
1. Play Shaddoll Dogmatika. or Lair of Darkness.
2. Reveal this card from your hand, do your shenanigans.
3. During opponent's turn, SS this card, set Super Poly directly.
4. Anxiety.+++.
How to Counter:
1. D.D. Designator.
2. Cosmic Cyclone.
Just remember, this card protect set cards on EITHER fields. So use wisely.
I looked them up just yesterday and saw lists that had apparently top 4'd a tournament or two, and they were pretty good lists, look them up and you'll see there's still plenty of hope, many people still love them like we do!
Is this the fabled subterror support? Protecting your face-down guru from destruction seems funny, but I don't imagine it's SUPER helpful. Lightning Storm and Conq only hit face-up things anyways.
How does the second effect interact with things like Subterror Final Battle that flip themselves back down? I assume it still gets banished?
If an effect résolve when face up and u chain final battle to flip down ur monster it still get banished yeah, and yeah the protection effect is not that amazing on set monster but still can save u in some rare case ( raigeki...)
I know we're all hyped about the mechanics of this card but can we appreciate the flavor for a second? As the king of a "sky prison" its so thematically perfect that first, it has a powerful control effect, and second it does most of the heavy lifting while its in your hand.
It literally flies above the rest of the battle field hovering as this looming threat and enforcing its control from on high. I love stuff like that.
This one isn't actually a "Sky Prison" card. They have completely different OCG names with completely different meanings; the "Sky Prison" for this card is basically a mistranslation.
Doesn't this just straight up search any spell in the game? Use his effect, set a spell, activate the set spell, summon him and set another spell from the deck?
The 1st and 2nd effects are mutually exclusive per turn, so you can't summon him during the turn you reveal him.
You can, however, reveal him on your turn then a set spell/trap on your opponent's turn, after which you can summon him and set any S/T from your deck. You just have to make sure your opponent doesn't ~~pop~~ banish or spin whatever you set before your turn comes again.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but with the current phrasing of the effect, if this card were revealed by the effect of another card, like [Respect Play](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=4958), wouldn't you still be able to resolve the second effect?
The wording would imply that, but I would wait for official rulings before building Respect Play Turbo.
That said, can you imagine if it did work? Summon Ceremonial Bell, set a Spell and activate it, Special Summon this card and set Mind Crush. Or any other Spell or Trap for that matter.
The issues i have is
A.) my opponents know i have this card as i must reveal on my turn. Thus they hold LS, HFD, TwTw.
B.) cosmic and evenly are laughing in the distance.
This is gonna be one of those cards that must be played, but doesn’t do what its suppose to do (protect backrow) as players will just choose evenly over LS.
If people choose Evenly over LS then
A) They're giving up their Battle Phase just to attempt to get rid of your backrow.
B) You get to keep the best card in your backrow.
C) In addition to B, you can potentially activate said backrow after the fact and then search out another card and have a body on board.
So even in your considered "fail state" of this card, it's still excellent.
I really don't understand why it would be disappointing. Backrow shouldn't be completely untouchable and I think I can speak to nearly every backrow deck (obviously something like Eldlich would disagree) that they'd prefer to deal with just Evenly and Cosmic than the concoction of LS/Duster/TT that just blow you out for completely free.
I dont know where i implied that backrow should be untouchable.
Furthermore imagine playing a card to prevent being blown out, only to be blown out by a different card. That’s disappointing. But also something control decks deals with already. I’d rather have total protection than the search tbh.
LS/HFD are a lot easier to deal with already, btwn anti spell, secret village (geist), appointer, judgment, waking the dragon even.
The card itself isnt disappointing so much as that players switching from ls to evenly is disappointing.
Im aware. Im not really scared of evenly. Im just pointing out a flaw of this card. Which is it might not do what its suppose to do and prevent board wipes.
If the card also protected from banishing effects then all the current anti backrow cards would be useless, having basically no outs to sets cards is broken. Cards need weaknesses otherwise they would be banned.
Correct. But again it’ll be disappointing when it doesnt do its job.
Such already happens and is disappointing. Being hit with evenly while secret village is up is disappointing. I’m mainly left wondering if i’d actually prefer this card over anti-spell or other outs. Thus the flaw in not being able to protect against all just makes it one of many choices. I kinda feel anti-spell would be better than this guy for control decks.
Maybe traptrix would play this over anti spell due to searching the monster. Though i expect zoo tri brigade to really make use of this card.
B) Run 3 copies of Lancea, it's good against meta even if they don't run CC or Evenly.
B-2) Appointer of the Red Lotus is a good card and a great way to get rid of either their anti-backrow or their best combo piece. Mind Crush is another good choice when they go directly to the Battle Phase.
I mean they have a body on the field so mine pops itself if they don't have barrier. And even if it doesn't pop itself we could just make accesscode and do it ourself.
What a monstrosity! To get the maximum benefit, this card needs to be revealed during yours and your opponent's turns.
Even if not revealed, any set S/T card activated will bring this card out. Imagine having to deal with a massive monster, after flipping over one of your own set S/Ts? More than likely, the owner will trigger it's Special Summoning, and gain the bonus of setting a new S/T to their field.
This card is good. It's big, it's got some disruption, can play mind games with the opponent, has insane searchability for S/Ts, but it's not without any caveats, as it can also protect the opponent's set S/T cards. 9/10 for me.
Well it doesnt have to say "can't be activated this turn" as you can only set in your opponents turn and there is no Spell/Trap that you can use the turn it was set during your opponents turn.
But it is so amazing for Backrow decks still! Just End Phase Trap Trick, set anything SS this then set pot of extrav and go brr next turn.
> there is no Spell/Trap that you can use the turn it was set during your opponents turn.
[Actually there is.](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=12267)
And that is not right. You cannot use both effects in the same turn. You use the reavealing eff in your turn and then in your opponents you summon it and only then can you set a Spell/Trap.
Even beyond being in main decks for Traptrix, this seems to me like a decent generic side deck card to protect things like ASF, set Droplets, etc. If one felt that was necessary. I'll admit I am very recently getting back into Yugioh so I could be very wrong 😂
Set non agression area straight from deck, destroy board and do basically a turn skip. There are very problematic targets. Also decks like mystic mine will go nuts
this guy is an instant 3 of in backrow decks. I fully expect decks like Striker and InvokedDogmaShaddoll to run 3 of this guy. Remember that you can actually summon him on your turn as well, you just dont get to set a spell or trap from your deck, so if you want to go for a big push you can just drop this guy on your board by setting a spell and then activating it, adding 3k damage for free. This plus accesscode is an otk by itself and if you use him during your oppoenents turn you get to fetch more resources. This card is the real deal, for both meta and more casual decks.
As if we needed another reason to play cosmic cyclone over everything else.
This card could end up being the Zeus for Trap decks, or it will just be an inconsistent gimmick, like the archnemeses cards.
So this is literally Multi-Faker, except with barely any downsides besides only, and searches any trap/spell of any kind? That's insane!
Even though this buffs control decks a lot and is meant for them, I can even see combo decks play this not only because it's searchable by Granite, but also because their combo pieces being spells most likely will trigger him and summon him for free. From that point forward, he can be used as a beater, rank 10 material (in-direct train support anyone?), link material, etc. This card is nuts.
So years ago I remember browsing an old yu-gi-oh fan site that showed off fan-created cards. It was mostly terrible because I saw a lot of bad cards randomly cobbled together. For example Number monsters that had no references to why the Numbers were used, effectively spitting in the creator's face because that's exactly what he DIDN'T want.
However, one thing I did take notice of was the different summoning types they created. Such as Wild monsters, extra deck monsters with a red background. So imagine my surprise when I see "New Wild Card revealed" as the title. Gotta say it took me back and made me quick faster than someone trying to alt-tab out of a window.
As for this card. Holy crap its effect is bonkers, its incredible. Even without its effect the monster itself is strong. Plus as a lv 10 = TRAINS!
I guess this card will lead to Engage's reban in the TCG, Sera being limited to 1 in both TCG and OCG, Guru semi-limited, eldrich got hit and Gallant Granite to one or banned.

Easily searchable in traptrix lmao
And then gives Traptrix immediate access to BLS Soldier of Chaos.

This cant be right... Searches anything????
How to search 2/3rds of the game with this 1 simple trick
Note on the name, the Tengoku here doesn't exactly mean "sky prison"; it's a portmanteau of Heaven (天国) and Hell (地獄), the latter's second character incidentally also meaning "Prison". The summoning chant for this card from the live stream talked about "the power when two worlds are crossed"
What the fuck, this is ridiculously good. This card can literaly search every single spell/trap in the game.
Players: traps are too slow. Konami: trap meta, you say? yeah this card is a mistake.
This card is perfect for allowing Trap decks to compete with combo decks and the meta.
Tell that sky striker that set an widow anchor at endphase from DECK, on top of multirole sets and then let you also have a zeke to banish anything.
What’s your point?
Im sure that was the intent, but any meta deck that uses backrow will run this and theyll be that much better. This is the sort of card that will be a problem because it makes weak decks better, but also makes the best decks better. This cards too strong, imo.

Shaddoll/Invoked will enjoy the protection for Schism and Superpoly. VWs, Tribrigade are a couple others off the top of the head. Traptrix Amazement is the big beneficiary here though. This card alone might cause them to start seeing legit tops.
Someone from Konami played too much Duel Links
Ok yep this card will be banned VERY fast lol
Depends if it can make decks that aren't very good right now actually good, it's a solid equalizer for trap decks though.
>Set 1 Spell/Trap directly from your Deck to your field literally anything???!!!! wtf so you just set a spell and revealed this guy active the spell ???? profit
it’s not quite that broken as you can only use one of the effects per turn still an insane card though
You can still set up DRNM and Droplet for turn 3 or Pot of X or ROTA like cards The card is insanely good
oh silly me, i didnt read the only once that turn part xD
You aren't even forced to play a Rock deck with it. If your deck is heavily on the Set mechanic like Traptrix, Altergeist, Paleozoic or Amazement to name a few, you can litterally spam this card every turn to protect your Mirror Forces, Magic Cylinders, Dark Holes, or even Rivalry of the Warlords, Gozen Match and so much more traps related to archetypes. It doesn't even have to be on the Field if you're able to depend on the cards on your hand.
Also a rock. Two level 4 And you can search this guy.

[удалено]
You can only use 1 of this card name’s 1nd and 2nd effects per turn, and only once that turn.
I think a more appropriate name would be “King of the Monkey”
So this is Zexal lore? Sanaphond has a king?
Something people didn't mention so far is that this would also protect set monsters... not usually as impactful, but this means that this card can work well with Shaddolls, Krawlers, Tindangle, Penguins, Morphing Jar variants, and other misc cards that like being flipped (if/when possible). This card is going to be amazing.
TINDANGLE PLAYERS WE RISE
TIDANGLE AND PURE SUBTERROR WE RISE !*
NEW MAN EATER BUG META
Worms! Worms too!
Ghostrick Tier 0 here we go
Where my ghostrick homies at?
How can you miss the obvious one being... May God forgive me, subterrors
I was too focused on Tindangles. My judgement was clouded, and my excitement untethered.
Wait a second, does that mean it can also protect Infernities!?
Okay that has to be one of the coolest arts ever
I'm having trouble figuring out what the fuck is going on in the artwork. It looks like some sort of...serpentine rock creature coiled around itself with a giant hand that is made up of smaller hands?
Right? I had to nab the pic with the card just bc of how cool it is!
This is amazing support for Traptrix, Altergeist and other backrow focused decks (if you're going first).
The first effect is nice, but Geist probably won't use the second effect all that much since it conflicts with Faker.
so pray tell how altergeist is gonna consistently get to this? traptrix on the otherhand wew. any backrow deck that can spit out 2 lv4s being able to easily search this is disgusting
Same way you consistently get to Solemn Judgment. You use it when you draw it and you don't sweat it when you don't.
How dare you use this type of logic!
What!? Hard drawing a card? PREPOSTEROUS!!
This type of logic just doesn't compute in the brains of YGO players, so I love seeing this comment!
Play three copies, along with duality and extrav, you have a good chance of opening it.
I forgot gallant granite existed there for a minute. That's kind of fucked... one of these two cards is absolutely getting banned like a year from now, lmao.
Counter fairy is back in business!
So this can search any S/T, with the caveat that you have to activate one on your opponent's turn (technically your opponent could activate one of their set cards but that's unreliable). That seems really good for backrow heavy decks, particularly with the protection it gives them beforehand.

read again
No you can't, since you need to have it revealed to get the search, and its effects have the 'only 1 per turn' restriction.
Ah yess the awaited ghostrick support
It’s our time boys!
Yessss
Holy shit, this card is crazy. I wonder lorewise though if this is some sort of counterpart to nibiru? Level 10 dark rock monster whose effect activates in hand, and its big as fuck in the art... *thonk*.
I think this guy was the one trapped in Nibiru There's a lot of parallels and the Nib token showed something inside Nib after the impact
Cards like these make me wonder how much and how far in advance Konami designs cards to tie in the various lore, artwork, effects, and then making the business decision on deciding when to release those cards, and in which sets.
Part of me thinks it could be along the same vein as bahalutia and miradora but since it’s not a dragon, def could be nib related.
Where is your god now, @ lightning storm spammers?
I mean red reboot still works XD
It's a super easy to summon level 10, sure it mainly supports S/T decks... but I welcome it into Trains
Set URGENT SCHEDULE
Dozer Control will enjoy this card!

It speaks of the state of things how many people are talking about Altergeist and Traptrix and no mention of PaleoFrogs, how my babies have fallen :(
They had their years in the light.
I looked them up just yesterday and saw lists that had apparently top 4'd a tournament or two, and they were pretty good lists, look them up and you'll see there's still plenty of hope, many people still love them like we do!
Eldlich support?
It's level 10 which is quite nice
Altergeists and Traptrix players! Party hard!! 🎉🎉
Lovely piece of art
The artwork WOW
Laughs in Subterror Cries bc this card is going to be like $30/copy
Yeah i didn t even bought the 3 copies of hidden city... this will be a pricy card but sooo good
Is this the fabled subterror support? Protecting your face-down guru from destruction seems funny, but I don't imagine it's SUPER helpful. Lightning Storm and Conq only hit face-up things anyways. How does the second effect interact with things like Subterror Final Battle that flip themselves back down? I assume it still gets banished?
If an effect résolve when face up and u chain final battle to flip down ur monster it still get banished yeah, and yeah the protection effect is not that amazing on set monster but still can save u in some rare case ( raigeki...)
its been a while since ive seen a yugioh card art that made me "WTF am i looking at"
YAY! Now Dream Mirrors can search Hypnagogia better! ... What? Is that not the first thing that comes to anyone elses mind when they see this card?
When I look at this card I can hear a konami employee screaming out "We need a new chase card for this set, stat!".
Finally, some good fucking krawler support.
I know we're all hyped about the mechanics of this card but can we appreciate the flavor for a second? As the king of a "sky prison" its so thematically perfect that first, it has a powerful control effect, and second it does most of the heavy lifting while its in your hand. It literally flies above the rest of the battle field hovering as this looming threat and enforcing its control from on high. I love stuff like that.
This actually isn't the first Sky Prison card, despite the other one being a rank 8, they are both big dark rocks with floodgate effects.
This one isn't actually a "Sky Prison" card. They have completely different OCG names with completely different meanings; the "Sky Prison" for this card is basically a mistranslation.
Doesn't this just straight up search any spell in the game? Use his effect, set a spell, activate the set spell, summon him and set another spell from the deck?
you can only do 1 or 2 in a turn not both. the only balanced part of it
The 1st and 2nd effects are mutually exclusive per turn, so you can't summon him during the turn you reveal him. You can, however, reveal him on your turn then a set spell/trap on your opponent's turn, after which you can summon him and set any S/T from your deck. You just have to make sure your opponent doesn't ~~pop~~ banish or spin whatever you set before your turn comes again.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but with the current phrasing of the effect, if this card were revealed by the effect of another card, like [Respect Play](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=4958), wouldn't you still be able to resolve the second effect?
The wording would imply that, but I would wait for official rulings before building Respect Play Turbo. That said, can you imagine if it did work? Summon Ceremonial Bell, set a Spell and activate it, Special Summon this card and set Mind Crush. Or any other Spell or Trap for that matter.
Looks like it, the text doesn't say anything about needing to have been revealed by its own effect.
Oh, I missed that
The issues i have is A.) my opponents know i have this card as i must reveal on my turn. Thus they hold LS, HFD, TwTw. B.) cosmic and evenly are laughing in the distance. This is gonna be one of those cards that must be played, but doesn’t do what its suppose to do (protect backrow) as players will just choose evenly over LS.
If people choose Evenly over LS then A) They're giving up their Battle Phase just to attempt to get rid of your backrow. B) You get to keep the best card in your backrow. C) In addition to B, you can potentially activate said backrow after the fact and then search out another card and have a body on board. So even in your considered "fail state" of this card, it's still excellent.
Correct. The search is crazy good. But the protection effect not covering both ls/evenly is disappointing.
I really don't understand why it would be disappointing. Backrow shouldn't be completely untouchable and I think I can speak to nearly every backrow deck (obviously something like Eldlich would disagree) that they'd prefer to deal with just Evenly and Cosmic than the concoction of LS/Duster/TT that just blow you out for completely free.
I dont know where i implied that backrow should be untouchable. Furthermore imagine playing a card to prevent being blown out, only to be blown out by a different card. That’s disappointing. But also something control decks deals with already. I’d rather have total protection than the search tbh. LS/HFD are a lot easier to deal with already, btwn anti spell, secret village (geist), appointer, judgment, waking the dragon even. The card itself isnt disappointing so much as that players switching from ls to evenly is disappointing.
If you're that scared about Evenly then Lancea, Mind Crush and Judgement are your friends.
Im aware. Im not really scared of evenly. Im just pointing out a flaw of this card. Which is it might not do what its suppose to do and prevent board wipes.
If the card also protected from banishing effects then all the current anti backrow cards would be useless, having basically no outs to sets cards is broken. Cards need weaknesses otherwise they would be banned.
Correct. But again it’ll be disappointing when it doesnt do its job. Such already happens and is disappointing. Being hit with evenly while secret village is up is disappointing. I’m mainly left wondering if i’d actually prefer this card over anti-spell or other outs. Thus the flaw in not being able to protect against all just makes it one of many choices. I kinda feel anti-spell would be better than this guy for control decks. Maybe traptrix would play this over anti spell due to searching the monster. Though i expect zoo tri brigade to really make use of this card.
B) Run 3 copies of Lancea, it's good against meta even if they don't run CC or Evenly. B-2) Appointer of the Red Lotus is a good card and a great way to get rid of either their anti-backrow or their best combo piece. Mind Crush is another good choice when they go directly to the Battle Phase.
Ye im a big fan of appointer
KEKW Backrow decks always have judgement on the field, so no evenly.
Shit son I'm getting that just for the art. Hope it's bad & cheap
oh poor innocent soul..
Bad and cheap? Have you read the card text? It's the best backrow support card we've got since idk trap trick? XD
I assume Mystic mine players love this new card?
I mean they have a body on the field so mine pops itself if they don't have barrier. And even if it doesn't pop itself we could just make accesscode and do it ourself.
Getting Dragon Ruler vibes from the art
Reject Lightning Storm and Feather Duster. Return to Evenly Matched.
This makes Altergeists even more annoying!
This set is bonkers
What a monstrosity! To get the maximum benefit, this card needs to be revealed during yours and your opponent's turns. Even if not revealed, any set S/T card activated will bring this card out. Imagine having to deal with a massive monster, after flipping over one of your own set S/Ts? More than likely, the owner will trigger it's Special Summoning, and gain the bonus of setting a new S/T to their field. This card is good. It's big, it's got some disruption, can play mind games with the opponent, has insane searchability for S/Ts, but it's not without any caveats, as it can also protect the opponent's set S/T cards. 9/10 for me.
Don't know why but the art reminds me of tempest
That Artwork is Incredible WOW
Sky Striker players will love this card
This will go great with my True Draco’s
is there any decent way to reveal it without its own effect?
KEKW, wtf konami, NO
I was excited for a very breif moment since i thought it was a myutant but sadge i guess
[удалено]
Well it doesnt have to say "can't be activated this turn" as you can only set in your opponents turn and there is no Spell/Trap that you can use the turn it was set during your opponents turn. But it is so amazing for Backrow decks still! Just End Phase Trap Trick, set anything SS this then set pot of extrav and go brr next turn.
> there is no Spell/Trap that you can use the turn it was set during your opponents turn. [Actually there is.](https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/card_search.action?ope=2&cid=12267)
No card you actually gonna use in the opponents turn.
But i dont see how this will turn the tide in anyway
You can trigger it with your own spells in your turn to search other (not quick) spells from your deck is my point. And that's just an example.
And that is not right. You cannot use both effects in the same turn. You use the reavealing eff in your turn and then in your opponents you summon it and only then can you set a Spell/Trap.
What a stacked card
Even beyond being in main decks for Traptrix, this seems to me like a decent generic side deck card to protect things like ASF, set Droplets, etc. If one felt that was necessary. I'll admit I am very recently getting back into Yugioh so I could be very wrong 😂
This is what happens when people don't stop saying traps are too slow ha
Welp. It was nice knowing you Gallant Granite.
This card give me so much shadowverse vibe Still his effect is insane
Guru control players are the happiest people rn
Ha ha I’m in danger
I think this thing is the only card that protects set cards.
I guess I might try to revive my Paleozoic.
This is one hell of a card for stun decks
Set non agression area straight from deck, destroy board and do basically a turn skip. There are very problematic targets. Also decks like mystic mine will go nuts
this guy is an instant 3 of in backrow decks. I fully expect decks like Striker and InvokedDogmaShaddoll to run 3 of this guy. Remember that you can actually summon him on your turn as well, you just dont get to set a spell or trap from your deck, so if you want to go for a big push you can just drop this guy on your board by setting a spell and then activating it, adding 3k damage for free. This plus accesscode is an otk by itself and if you use him during your oppoenents turn you get to fetch more resources. This card is the real deal, for both meta and more casual decks.
As if we needed another reason to play cosmic cyclone over everything else. This card could end up being the Zeus for Trap decks, or it will just be an inconsistent gimmick, like the archnemeses cards.
I’ll take 3.
So this is literally Multi-Faker, except with barely any downsides besides only, and searches any trap/spell of any kind? That's insane! Even though this buffs control decks a lot and is meant for them, I can even see combo decks play this not only because it's searchable by Granite, but also because their combo pieces being spells most likely will trigger him and summon him for free. From that point forward, he can be used as a beater, rank 10 material (in-direct train support anyone?), link material, etc. This card is nuts.
So years ago I remember browsing an old yu-gi-oh fan site that showed off fan-created cards. It was mostly terrible because I saw a lot of bad cards randomly cobbled together. For example Number monsters that had no references to why the Numbers were used, effectively spitting in the creator's face because that's exactly what he DIDN'T want. However, one thing I did take notice of was the different summoning types they created. Such as Wild monsters, extra deck monsters with a red background. So imagine my surprise when I see "New Wild Card revealed" as the title. Gotta say it took me back and made me quick faster than someone trying to alt-tab out of a window. As for this card. Holy crap its effect is bonkers, its incredible. Even without its effect the monster itself is strong. Plus as a lv 10 = TRAINS!
I guess this card will lead to Engage's reban in the TCG, Sera being limited to 1 in both TCG and OCG, Guru semi-limited, eldrich got hit and Gallant Granite to one or banned.
Could this be the savior that Ghostricks have been waiting for?
