This skill is bugged. Whenever I restart, the game skips my following card drawing.

It's not bugged. The skill has been nerfed.

Duel Bricks. How does Konami expect anyone to have a decent hand? Especially with the 4 card hand format, it’s whoever is able to top decks their winning cards wins the duel. Now going first is even more of a death sentence.

4-card opening hand in a 20-card deck format should give you BETTER odds of a specific card than 5-card opening hand in 40.
kbeezy
now we lose our first draw if we restart. Pretty much ruins the skill

Atleast doesn't reveal your hand :T

Now you can't even see which cards your opponent has when re-shuffling hand.
-_- is that supposed to make it... "less powerful" ? -_-

What are you talking about? They ARE supposed to reveal their hand if they use Restart. And now they will even have to skip their first draw phase if they choose to use Restart.

But I haven't encountered any Restart user yet. Maybe there is a bug. I'd have to see it for myself.

Less powerful because it costs them a draw in their next turn.

Having to still show their cards on top would be overkill

Yugi Muto learns Restart at level 20.

My Arkana and Crowler got Restart

"It's rarely used in ranked games. Even if some decks in duel links require having a good starting hand in order to set up its tempo."

You may have wanted to update this page after the Sylvans were released.

Wow, this page needs to get properly updated. I don't think I've personally seen one person who has used Switcheroo and nobody could claim it's better than Restart these days.

I guess that he wrote that before Balance was changed (after reading this page, I would go for Balance over Restart most of the games). However, I wouldn't go as far as to say Switcheroo is better than Restart, not in a million years.

EVERYONE can learn Restart.

It's one of the default 'generic' skills that any character can obtain, given enough luck in grinding, I believe.

There. Mystery solved.
