Pros

  • Able to banish opponent’s important face up Spell Card
  • Can be Special Summoned after banishing face-up Spell Cards from each sides of the Field.

Cons

  • You need to banish your own face-up Spell Card as a result.
  • Weak DEF stats.

Tips

  • This card’s effect is only limited to face-up Spell Cards, which means only Equip/Field/Continuous Spells are affected, not very versatile against Quick-Play Spells, or Trap cards.
  • This also makes it situational to Special Summon Spell Strider as your opponent may not play any of the aforementioned face-up Spell cards.

Synergy

You can equip Big Bang Shot to your opponent’s face-up monster, and use Spell Strider to banish your Big Bang Shot and 1 of your opponent’s face-up Spell card, to banish your opponent’s face-up monster that was equipped with Big Bang Shot, and potentially allow you to direct attack.

Crystal Beasts

Any of these Crystal Beast monsters can be moved to your Spell/Trap zone as Continuous Spell Cards, when they were destroyed while in Monster Card Zone. You can use Spell Strider’s effect to banish your own Crystal Beast monsters from your Spell/Trap zone to banish your opponent’s face-up Spell cards.

Equip your opponents monster with a spare White Veil and then summon Spell Strider :D I know from personal experience what happens when your White Veil is forcefully unequipped or if your equipped monster gets murked :[

On second thought, would have to test to see if White Veil would prevent Spell Striders effect after equipping to opponents monster hmm will test it out

Haha easy 6000 damage, with 2 copies. In red-eyes deck, you can easily special summon this card with monsters that being equipped to re slash. Also this monster is warrior, so fit in red-eyes deck.

"Equip your opponents monster..."

It is still YOUR spell card because it doesn't occupy opponents' S&T zone. Therefore White Veil will only give you damage when it leaves the field.

If you want to use it to burn your opponent's LP, try Tea's Surprise Present.

But what decks actually have 2 face up spell cards to spare? Cause usually, if they have them, they will depend on them aswell...

Maybe those Earthbound monsters, Necrovalley oriented Gravekeepers deck, and Elemetsabers. That's the only ones that I can think of right on the spot

The other one is on your opponent's field, so you only need one spell.

Pretty efficient when dueling against a toon user. Made a couple of them rage quit out of surprise when I banished toon kingdom (they mostly had summon skull and toon dragon on the field) and my own spell card

Umi/ALO, however, are not.

Remove Umi or ALO from the field. SSA's effects can only be activated while Umi is on the field, so you indirectly shut it down.

Can’t find spell strider. Is there a level requirement?
<< Anonymous
Anonymous Reply
UR's in general have a (low) level requirement, but they still show up if you're below it, just greyed out. (At least, this is how it worked before the Trader rework, I'd assume it's still the case.) It's in the active stock, so won't always be there. Just keep trying.

Are field spell also count?

yes, all spells that are open. field, equip, continous, crystal beasts and cards that count as equips.

*slight correction, it's "cards that counts as equip spells".

Equip cards aren't always Spells.

Some monsters equip others to theirself as spell cards like union monsters, relinquish,red eyes slash, and Plasma but idk how they will benefit from this card.

Equip a monster to Plasma one turn, use it to summon Strider, then Absorb another opponent monster?

assuming your opponent is playing equips(lol, no.), or continuous spells(maybe). your best bet is to use him as 1800 beater, but benefit if opponent plays field spell

Why these comments said about SSA? They should talk about ALO either since it affect spells only.

Yeah, it seems Konami is nerfing SSA 🔥 not through the banlist like what most people expected, but by putting in cards that easily deal with SSA.

This thing easily remove Umi/Ocean and turn SSA, for one turn at least, into a dead card lol

Not to mention it banishes the spell card making them harder to retrieve back.

Personally, I actually like this way of dealing with overpowered cards, compared to just slapping them to the banlist.

If you have played SSA, when you got 5* monster, ssa, and alo on the field. you practically begging the next draw is a monster. Any monster. More often than not, you will have multiple copies of alo and ssa on your hand.

This card is nothing compared to cosmic cyclone. Not to mention that you need your own face up spell card to activate it.

Why would they ban SR cards from main box? it's different from normal cards like woodland sprite or golden bamboo, or even free cards like dakini and MAR.

Game balance is more important than keeping a single SR relevant.

Also, it's not like hitting "cheaper" cards doesn't impact sales anyway. If Cyber Angels were no longer viable, less people would go for Saffira and Senju, for instance.

The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because it hasn't been needed. I feel like the next time we get a list update, a pack holo will be hit.
