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

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.

The con is you draw it lots of time when the monsters are already there

Decks that run floodgate usually run 3 in order to increase their chances drawing them in 1st turn.

Monster like stratos still be able to active its eff even tho it got flipped. Unless the card say something like negate the summon, the activation, or effect, he still be able to active its effect. You probably notice that the effect can be activated as soon as he summoned, even before other card could react in general

After this trap resolves, can black rose dragon's effect turn them face up? Or is it straight up impossible to change their battle position.

You can still change their battle position through other effects. This card only affects the regular "you can change the battle position of a monster once per turn" rule.

Okay, this card has been a meta staple almost since the game’s launch. Time to limit so the op decks don’t have access to it.

It seems like they will never limit this. Just get 3 copies.

I have a question: if I use this card with Magician Navigation what will happen?

I mean the two monster aren't summon at the same time: the first monster to be summoned is Dark Magician, from the hand, and the second monster is another spellcaster, from deck.

So, if we use floodgate, the only monster to be turned face down is Dark Magician while the other spellcaster monster is save. Am I right?

No, the last monster summoned will be flipped face down as you can’t active cards after a chain started resolving. If it was summoned on CL1 the one summoned from the deck is flipped face down, if it was summoned in CL2 then Floodgate Misses timing

I've an issue with this card. The card effect description applies to 'monster(s)' as it can be one monster or multiple monsters. Back then when I dueled, it apply to 2 Dark Magician via Magician Navigation. Now only apply to last summoned monster.
Is there a new rule changing?
