Oh Trooper has the exact same effect I thought it would
Mill 3, get additional machine/EARTH in GY, draw a card.
Looks good enough.
In tcg he die in battle and draw 1
In rush he kill himself
When looking at the two side by side, that sounds like a buff. However, I know Rush Duel has the whole “draw until 5 cards in hand” rule during the draw phase, so I don’t know how getting the draw from Trooper will be good in practice. Though the draw may not be the important thing since it can clear itself off field, which I presume for certain decks, they would like that.
Gonna be interesting to see if the Trooper will be worth the one Legend slot for monster cards.
The mill is a lot stronger since most decks want stuff in their GY to get their combos started, but the draw is a nice option to have if you don’t need the tribute fodder. It’ll definitely see play at least
Wonder what kind of problems Trooper would have caused if it wasn’t fitted with the “if there are 10 or more cards in your deck” restriction that seems to be weirdly common in recent cards. Does anyone know why they’re making this restriction?
There are many cards in Rush that either mill topdeck, shuffle from GY to deck, or retrieve from GY.
If there are little cards in your GY, it’s possible to mill that card, use an effect to retrieve it from GY, activate its effect, send it to GY, shuffle it from GY to deck, use effects to draw, etc. and create a horrible loop. It happened before, and those cards are still on the banlist to this day.
