Cast Your Opponent Into The Outer Dark With “Terrors of the Netherroot”! [PHNI]
Bye bye.
PHNI-JP079 幽世離レ Kakuriyo Hanare (Terrors of the Netherroot)
Normal Trap Card
(1) Target 1 monster in your opponent’s GY; Special Summon it to their field, then you can banish 1 monster they control, then return 1 of your opponent’s banished monsters to the GY.
(2) If this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent there: You can banish it, then target 1 Level 1 monster in your GY; shuffle it into the Deck, then you can Set 1 “Terrors of the Underroot”, “Terrors of the Overroot”, or “Terrors of the Netherroot” directly from your Deck.
Note: This card if it was to be consistent should be the same as the Level 1 monster, but the TCG referred to both it and the first trap as “Underroot”.
Of note, the original trap (Underroot) was more “the lands across the sea”, a la Avalon. Basically the Other World. This one is more ‘world of ghosts and dead souls’, a place things were confined, a place that’s dark and miserable.
so better Ice Dragon’s Prison
Is it? Sure, there’s no attribute requirement, but you summon to their field without negating the effect of whatever you summon. I guess you could just banish whatever you summon. But I don’t see playing this over idp.
i re read it about 3 times and thought you summoned to your field not theirs lol, so it’s not better than IDP but still good
This card is a weaker yet more convenient IDP on field, and the GY effect on paper is not bad. It’s about what I expected on a generic Trap at the end of a set.
Eh, not very good. It’s a non-target banish, but you also give them a monster back from the GY. Play literally anything else.
Its second effect is also way too slow. *Except the turn it was sent*, c’mon. This trash is already a Trap. You’re telling me I can’t set another mid-Trap until TURN 3/4?! AND I need a level 1 in GY to do it!? Get outta here Konami.
It’s a very grindy card for decks that have level 1’s.
Art is sick tho
Going to be awkward if they want to release more root cards in the future aka many such cases aka prominence hand not being compatibility with thunder hand poor planning
