You can only use the effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) If a Tuner(s) is sent to your GY (even during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the monster was sent) or hand (even if not) (but banish it when it leaves the field), then, if “Junk Warrior” or another monster that mentions it is on the field, you can change all monsters your opponent controls with 1900 or more ATK to Defense Position, also you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Synchro Monsters.

Meep meep. <3
It’s….. decent
I guess?
it like is almost free special if you have run a card that mills it, second effect might make dealing with a board better but it falls into that category of cards that are probably decent but still wont see play for me
A little extender as a treat
Why do they bother putting synchro lock on these mid ass cards when the glue that holds the deck together already hard locks you into synchro anyway
It’s mid anyways, what you use it for if there was not a lock, I’m curious
Easy: they want you to buy a different extender for each summoning type, they don’t want you to use this for Links or Xyz or whatever else in a Synchro deck that doesn’t have restrictions.
An extender to make what xyz exactly? Fuchou? it’s a level 1. If it weren’t synchro locked this would go kinda insane in some link strategies though, it’s just free link material.
It’s the BIRB.
This is so dosghit holy
I see it as… mediocre?
Although well, this Junk Warrior-focused strategy isn’t all that great (at least it’s consistent)
Making a deck in 2025 to lose to every single handtrap in every step of their combo is so embarrasing.
That’s all decks in general (?).
I didn’t know you could get hand trapped 18 times in the first 5 cards of the hand?
We still have one more monster to go, right?
Spell or Trap
Very cute art! The effect seems decent enough, but I do wish it at least had a level change effect too… Anywho, I am looking forward to using this card & playing the whole deck!
Utter trash.
The fact that they decided to build an entire SD on one, very specific duel in anime feels like a fail on a conceptual level? It was not even a specifically long or interesting duel from a gameplay point of view and hardly the most memorable duel in 5D’s.
On the other hand, I understand why Konami is not willing to give Synchro Goodstuff decks more generic cards and instead is attempting to railroad this SD into one very specific play. Synchro-heavy strategies are very easy to break, and even if the results are not super strong, they are genuinely a pain in the butt to play against because sitting there and watching an opponent playing with their deck till their side of the field is covered in white stuff is… not fun?
That last line sure is a way to phrase it.
I mean, that’s exactly how Cyberse plays yet they did Maliss as more support.
I know what you mean but there are way arounds, the same wave that the new Gem Knight support halves burn damage in half.
You could, idk, limit synchro summons to up to 8 (?) as a drawback instead of a synchro lock, maybe lock you into only warrior+junk+stardust synchro and makes the structure cards very good in exchange of such harsh lock, or lock you into warrior, machine and dragon type synchros? those would fit Yusei playstyle pretty well while locking the generic of the support, kinda like a Synchro Tri-type.
It’s not even based on the whole duel, just the last turn. It’s a shame, too, because the Warriors Yusei used in the turns without Stardust or Junk could have used some love.
@cardtrooper I feel like cyberse didn’t really exist as a type so it kind of makes sense, like I can think of like 5 cyberse decks and all but one of them were pretty unplayable on their own, or were basically xenolocked it’s a bit like psychic where it’s kind of an archetype of its own rather than a type like warrior though I wouldn’t be surprised if half of the cyberse cards currently get banned if it becomes a more prominent type that just exists more like the previous types
I bet the last card is a continuous trap with 1 effect that says
“If your junk warrior battles an opponent’s monster, negate the monsters effects until the end of the damage step.”
At this point, they could have given us the spell “Synchro Fellows” as support in a core set, and this structure deck could have gone to someone else, like Pegasus “Relinquish” or something.
@trash
And i sweear if that happens and should Pagasus’s Reliquinshed get a SD, ud definitely start trashing abt it too if they dont rise to ur stupid competitive b*s* level. Curse u f*kin meta slaves.
U see the problem is not on which Duelist/Deck/Theme they will give supp to, the problem is YOU (plural) u want everything to be super broken, when it easily just can’t be.
And fyi the 8th card wont be one with the effects u assumed it would have. If u took just some time doing research before u come here and make urself soubd stupid, u’d know a card like that (and even better than ur assumption) already exists, its called “Scrap Fist”.
I for one am glad these cards are bad. Yusei’s deck is the epitome of all the things wrong with Yugioh.
>30 minute combos to end on a field of negates
Maybe it’s fun when you’re playing it, but playing against it is a terrible experience. You either stop their combo and they scoop right then and there or they go full combo and you’re stuck there for half an hour waiting for them to set up a field that you can’t play through. It’s why I just scoop halfway through if my hand can’t deal with it. These types of decks are only meant for when you go against a CPU opponent. I can’t imagine it being fun for the people playing either. You have to waste 30 minutes every game doing the same combo just for the opponent to surrender halfway through because they got bored.
I am not usually bothered by long combo decks personally, and will wait for my opponent to finish unless my hand is unplayable from the start. To me Yugioh is a game where you need lots of patience & tolerance to enjoy it at any point in history, and has never been a game about balance or playing fairly. Even in the original anime many characters were always try to go with the most unfair tactics they could figure out.
THIS!!! THANK YOU!!!
Nowadays, that’s all what Yu-Gi-Oh is, and you summed it up beautifully here! There’s no fun or creativity with it anymore, just burning through your whole deck in one turn just to set up a lockdown your opponent can’t come back from… (and even though Synchros started this downward slope, Links made it 10 times worse, but that’s a whole other thing…) That’s why you see nearly every player nowadays running the same hand trap engine (from Ash Blossom to Infinite Impermanence), taking up literally half of their decks just to try and stop their opponents from making those crazy plays at the cost of casual players who only want to play for fun getting royally screwed going up against this engine and having to run it themselves just to have a slight chance at survival, and when did it all start…? With Yusei’s Effect Veiler (and Jack’s Battle Fader). It was all downhill from there…
Good Artwork… is all there is to this card.
I’m not a competitive-meta-player myself, but a Special Summon then banish and synchro lock is rather dissapointing.
i hope farfa eats this one too when it comes to the tcg just like scrambled egg
they are making 2011 cards in 2025
Why is this card so bad? It’s ridiculous. The next card basically needs to be a custom card, which gives you all of these bad Junk Warrior cards for free at the same time.
I love the English name y’all came up with! I hope the TCG goes with that
My only complain is that its name isn’t always treated as “Sonic Chick”. How am I supposed to play Scramble Egg now?
Bring back level eater!!!
Does anyone here have any sense of critical thinking before you go “this card is trash”? You’re literally given a 1-card Junk Speeder on a silver platter and you still think it’s trash.
Normal Summon Stardust Synchron
Search Synchro Fellows
Search Junk Synchron and Supersonic Chick with Synchro Fellows, discard Junk Synchron
Activate Supersonic Chick effect, Special Summon it because you sent a Tuner to the GY
Synchro Summon Junk Speeder.
Thanks to this Structure Deck,
We now have
3 Junk Converters
3 Stardust Synchron
3 Fullspeed Warrior
3 Synchro Fellows itself
3 On Your Mark, Get Set, Duel! (If you even need 3)
3 Tuning
1 RotA
All of these cards now can start Junk Speeder plays with just 1 card, except Junk Converter, but that’s still a 1.5-card combo
You lacking braincells? People are complaining because they want a deck that doesn’t just rely on speeder.
Are you lacking brain cells? People are complaining BECAUSE they want easier access to 300 negates. Also, the Deck now can use Speeder more safely since it’s not as significant of a chokepoint anymore.
Phew, I was worried they would forget roadrunner. Scramble Egg is goated. As for the wall of text that’s a meme that no one reads anyways.
this sets fixes a small issue synchrons had wich is generating lv 1 bodies. now all they need is modernized toolboxing synchros and turn 0 plays.
Not bad
Completely dog crap support. Konami be making cards with duel links in mind.
