Pros

It switches the Summoned Monster by your opponent to face-down defense position
The affected monster can't change its battle position.

Cons

None.

Tips

Monster Zone Lock

Ojama Knight

You can possibly lock your opponent's monster zone if he/she has no tribute monsters. Use Floodgate Trap Hole when your opponent Summons a Monster. Then disable the 2 remaining zones by using Ojama Knight's effect. You can then wait to get the cards that you needed or burn your opponent.

Rulings

The text "monster(s)" on Floodgate Trap Hole means that it can affect multiple cards. See these screenshots below for example.

The opponent used The Flute of Summoning Dragon to Special Summon 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field. Then the Floodgate Trap Hole prompt pops up.

Floodgate Trap Hole is Activated.

Both of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has been switched to face-down defense position.

Stuff like Ballista Squad should work too.

Or use some level 5+ monsters that can be tribute summoned.

Once Floodgate is activated, is there any cards that can allow me to make use of my now permanently SET card? I was thinking that maybe Link Summoning could do the trick but I’m unsure. Maybe a card that allows me to summon as long as 3 mobs are on the field?

See the replies above.

Also, Link, Xyz and Synchro summoning won’t work. But Fusion summons do work.

Floodgate limit 3 is pure stupid. Fkin Komoney just trying to sell Pendulums.

Nothing to do with Shiranui. It is already a forgotten deck after the deck got nerfed so many times. Unlimiting Floodgate will not make it a tier deck either. What 🔥 people the most is they limit both Cosmic and Floodgate jsut to sell Pedulum. Fcking Komoney.

Floodgate got limited to boost sales of bottomless traphole. Konami never gave a damn about game balance.

Well Yu-Gi-Oh in general is unbalanced, even with the banlists, to begin with.

It can only be called balanced if deck in the global launch can beat today meta lol.

Could this card happen to work on Azure Eyes Silver Dragon Synchro before it's "Untargetable on Dragon" effect applies?

Also, it's a waste to use on Lunalights too since LL Fusion can fuse face-down Lunalights too.

It will not be a waste because people always floodgate the fusion monsters.

...well, the main deck ones at least unless you're trying to stop Rabbit, I guess...idk really

I mean the main deck Fusion materials, not the fusions themselves (although it's unwise to use it on a RB Fusion if it has the ability to chain a tag-out).

looks like a card that blair would use

What monster(s) are you talking about? There could be several reasons why you can't activate it or why it has no effect

The most elusive card to avoid the ban/limited list.

It's because you are the one supposed to dodge that trap hole

Not being banned is a strong point of that card.
It's so expensive to obtain that the price ends up replacing the banlist in limiting its power.

This card is an unhealthy card, yes.

But this card is also one of the few cure against even more unhealthy monsters in the game.
