A-

Pros

Banishes an opponent’s monster.
Banishes from your opponent’s graveyard.

Cons

Requires a discard cost.

Tips

Very useful against archetypes with monsters that change their name in the graveyard. For example Skull Servant, Cyber Dragon, and Dark Magician.

Raigeki Break

Karma Cut is generally a superior version of Raigeki Break because banishing is more powerful than simple destruction and because Karma Cut can disrupt your opponent’s graveyard.

Fabled

The discarding a Fabled monster as the cost of Karma Cut can trigger their effects.

I see a lot of people hate this card on DL however TCG/OCG doesn't even care about it.

Mainly because of small deck and run multiple copies of same name monster cards

If only there is card like this but not banish entire copy of it and it's a trap (We already have the spell one)

Garbage Event

The Survey is up for this Garbo. You know what to do everyone. I don't say you must

how? like this?
"Discard 1 card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; banish HALF of that target.."

That already reduces its power by 50%

Karma Cut is a necessary evil to take care of problematic monsters like ones that can use GY effects or the kind that can't be destroyed by card effects.

That isn't a valid reason when Konami knowingly made said monsters broken enough just to give players a reason to buy this trap.

It's like the same company spreads the poison first so that you have to buy his cure.

Now that most of the strong floaters are out of the stage I think is fine to limit 2 this card.

But also address TD that activate effects anywhere: hand, gy, banish zone, your pocket, etc.

What TD could possibly be ban worthy?

Anything that turbos out levianeer

I'd like it if they limited levianeer instead but we all know that won't happen and why.

Every card in TD deck limited 3

Levianeer can be limited, as long as it's limited 3.

Aloof Lupine to limited 2
Raiden to limited 2
Dragondark to limited 2

Levianeer to limited 3
Dragonhawk to limited 3

Just need Konami to do that, and TD becomes balanced.

I'd rather have this at 3 or at 2 as the highest limit.

If we lose it what other generic card can we use to out a desperado or a noble knight with 7 million equips?

There's stuff like brionac or malevolent sin but I get your point those monsters would use tons of resources and your normal summon + they are very fragile to disrupt, while karma cut isn't.

I'd be okay with karma at 3 too only if they limit 3 a card in decks that depend on sending x card to the gy

Ironically, Noble knight user also use this a lot, while at the same this this is the best trap to counter them.

Guess you could use canadia to counter some meta. Some cards better off in field face down rather than goes to graveyard

Yep, the limit 3 would come handy in this situation.

Imagine if NK had merlin at 3 and Karma also at 3

Instead of putting so many cards at limit 2 they should start throwing more into limit 1.

Does anyone doubt that this will soon be limited / banned?
PRACTICALLY EVERY DECK NOW HAS 2 OF THAT S

Basically the only card in Blue eyes deck that could 🔥 META safely

I hope that this card will be a limit 1. We don't have any staple at limit 1 yet.
