This card is good and with no once per turn clause it really helps the deck.
“I fear no Hand Trap.”
… Except [Droll & Lock Bird]. That thing scares me.
I went to the “No fear. *Thing* One fear.” meme myself
Maybe next month we’ll get a great HERO card
One of the 5 unreleased manga Maske HEROes. Or at least the WIND Elemental HERO soldier counterpart to Blazeman, Liquid and Solid. From the main deck, after all these years, we still only have Avian and Stratos.
Or maybe not. Because this is the VJump card dedicated to TTP, that coming out this month, so next month we will get probably a Doom of Dimensions dedicated card.
Even I would prefere see way more Masked Heroes from the manga
We are missing the light power hero still we have stratos shadow mist blazeman solid soldier and liquid soldier still not light one yet tho, also the manga main deck masked heros and lv 6 earth and light masked heros
Neither of those effects are once per turn? That’s scary as hell, tbh
Damn, it’s actually good. Hallelujah for actual Dark Magician decks.
I’d say its biggest stumbling block would be its LP cost.
Meaning you may be stuck between having to choose either Magikuriboh or Guilt-Gripping Morganite
Honestly, since Guilt-Gripping Morganite only accounts for activating Spell/Trap cards (not their effects), you’d be better off sticking with Magikuriboh, unless you wanted the free Tribute Summons. And even then, Apprentice Illusion, Souls and a few other DM cards have a lot of useful hand effects you wouldn’t want locking out of.
It would be cool if we got Dark Spear from the final DM duel but instead of just doing piercing damage it got a new updated effect to make it more useful.
This card is supposed to trigger Dark Illusion! LMFAO! Dark Illusion retrain incoming!
Dark Spear is on DM the Knight of Dragon Magic.
Since DM and Heros are getting new support this year let’s finally get the Spiral Force cards from BBT.
This card’s life point cost to set this trap card is similar to Dragon’s Mind…
Magicians’ Souls users will like this card
This card… wow, it’s rare nowadays that a card lacks any OPT clauses. 2500 feels a little steep for something as basic as Setting it, but people were willing to pay half their LP for cards like A Hero Lives…
It’s a good card, now it just needs in-house consistency (as in not Labrynth): Magicians Rod is a effect waiting to get negated, Soul Servant & Inheritance need you to have a board or GV to begin with, and the two DM versions that do search you cards are tricky to field (one is a Fusion and the other needs Shining Sarcophagus).
An absolute good card but God DANM. 2500 Lp for a infinite set is crazy
Overhyped af
So this card forces you to fight on DM’s territory using “””only””” spells/traps. It’s funny, but it’s really no better than Combination or Rivals
It’s SIGNIFICANTLY better than Rivals AND Combination because it can stop Hand Traps from choking you out.
Ash Blossom on Rod/Souls/Illusion/DMoD? Negate.
Bystial in response to Souls mill? Negate.
Ghost Ogie on my boys(and girl)? Negate.
Etc.
And the fact it’s not a hard once per turn makes it a solid replacement for Called by and Crossout since it doesn’t require you to lose out on your own hand traps because of Called or clogging up your Main Deck with 1-of Hand Traps for Crossout.
I just realised… you can set indefinetelly… THAT’S NONSENSE XD i thought it had the regular “banish it when it leaves the field” clause but it didn’t
Damn droplet just got way worse at countering dragoon after the new DM support.
How? This only works against monster effects
@anomonyous because the board of DM can now (once this card releases) interact more with the opponent through their disruptive/interruptive Spell/Trap effects on cards, especially with this new card, that goes face-up only at particular or specific points that makes the value of Forbidden Droplet less appealing against the deck.
Stings to see a promo that is name cutout support NOW after the glut of GX promos funneled into genericness.
Was liking this for 2 whole seconds then realized how bad the wording is so it actually doesnt stop imperm dominus traps mulcharmies droll or nib so another joke card ig….
Shouldnt it be the other way around? 2500 to activate and set from gy when summon DM.
And they cant bare to not give DM more support every…week
Essentially Archetype protection for “Dark Magician” support. So this can card can synchronize well with “Shining Sarcophagus”, since it has a “Dark Magician” Support (including a retain).
Fact it can activate the turn it set does give it a bit more leeway then most trap. While 2500 LP maybe a steep price, it’s worth considering the card doesn’t have a Hard Once Per Turn claws. So if your deck can spam out “Dark Magician” from your GY, you can you use this card twice per turn. In modern Yugioh a Negation effect like this is too good to overlook.
Overall, I think the card worth running.
Finally a card which actually give players a reason to play the whole dm deck and not just its best cards
The last dm batch which makes bringing out dragoon trivial was a nice thing… but it didnt really give player s a good reason to play the whole deck, only like 4 or 4 cards where many were most were just oneoffs
However in the way with which this supports the deck, it actually makes players want to use all dm cards because they now have a get out of jail free cards agains monsters and monster based disruption, and the few dm cards with that “spells and traps from hand during both players turns” strategy get a slight passive buff, since dm quickeffects can now chainblock and protect themself and other cards
Dark Magician as a deck still isn’t worth playing.
Pls let this card be in the 2025 tins
10/10 wont happen.
