Red-Eyes slash dragon is happy with this card.

You don't need 2 removals, you need one removal and one other spell to make Shi-En use up his effect.

Know what I'm stocking up on now? Ultimate Providence.

Awesome card, isn't it?

solid meta

thanks konami, one of the best cards is 100% f2p and it will never be limited because it's not being used in most of decks and it's very susceptible to backrow removal.

It's good in 1 deck, and thats RESD deck. However I only use that deck for auto duels makes auto dueling a breeze.

They aren’t perfect God hands always drawing all they have of both the traps that remove monsters and muh “CC”. They tend to start with one backrow removal and two traps. If your monster is immune to the traps and you also have backrow then if they use their backrow removal on this card they’re gonna eat your own backrow, while theirs remains useless as in the case of playing only immune mons.

People are WAY too focused on the monster, completely ignoring the fact that this card itself is extremely vulnerable to removal.

Many people don't run or have good removal in duel links so this card is a pain in the butt for many

^ and it doesn't help that most of the good back row removal are really expensive for the most part, making it harder for most people to have consistent access to.

Ex: Cosmic Cyclone, Galaxy Cyclone

That's 🔥ing 🔥 because I've tried de-spell and monster effects and it still fails to remove the card

Laughing at n00bs

Remember when idiots said Anatomy of the Karakuri was going to be limited?

Well it never happened.
That's why they will never limit this one.

Is op even wrong? I can tell there are way too many 'mentally challenged' individuals in this comment section who are always expecting limits for almost any card. That's absurd.

This sounds like a great card, but those damn Canadias everywhere man.

Canadia probably shouldn't be limited just on the merit that it's basically Duel Link's equivalent to Ash Blossom: Annoying, for sure, but if it didn't exist, some decks would just run train against people.

The Limited 3 did come, but much later. Still, stall burn continues to play 3x mistakegate, 3x Canadia 3x WoD. It's much more of an issue than this card.

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

Those 3, this card, and all the other strong backrow cards (example: Karma Cut, Ballista Squad) needs to be on limited 3, to be honest.

Yes it's a necessary evil like Ash Blossom, but the problem is when it is combined with other cards that are "plain evil".

only karma cut ballista and raegiki needs to be limited.canadia is ok.floodagate annyoing but lots player dont have 2-3 and 1 is ok.wall of d they just pop it or reduce 800 atk only.overrated card.also limit fiendish.

fred

100% must be limited. Absolutely broken. No matter what people say, it breaks any honest deck with actual backrow counters, such as Magic Jammer or Bad Aim (which i run, and still cannot get a decent winrate vs. this horde of POG). Please limit this card or ill just consider quitting

Hey uh, Fred.. Magic Jammer and Bad Aim aren't optimal for dealing with POTG. Should replace them with something like uh, Cosmic Cyclone? Paleozoic Canadia?

Just run Canadia or some backrow removal cards

If your deck are really that good then there are no problem for you to destroy this spell cards. Or perhaps your deck is just suck as you bragging about this honest deck of yours!

Quit your whinging. I beat this card with my Amazon deck no problem, just used Swords Woman + Heirloom and kept spamming attacks. Opponent was completely helpless, because he "obviously" didn't need any backrow counters in his deck, but I digress. My dino deck has a counter with Survival's End, Red Dragon Archfiend has Scarlet Security, Dark Magician has Thousand Energy, yada yada yada...

If you don't have backrow counters in your deck, you don't have a competitive PvP deck, period.

What monster you tried to banish? Because banishing should work, if it didn't work, either you missed something or it's a bug.

<< Anonymous

Ivan Reply

Dammit, can't remember and I didn't get a replay. But there is no such thing as a monster that can't be banished, right? I'm sure there were two counters taken off too, for both the Heirloom and Onslaught.

<< Anonymous(Ivan)

Anonymous Reply

There are monsters that cannot be banished, but there is no Amazoness monster that cannot be banished.

And counters should not be taken for Onslaught, are you sure it's for Onslaught and not for the monster's destruction in battle?

<< Anonymous

Ivan Reply

No, I was using Amazoness. It would of been destruction by Heirloom, which is cancelled by Onslaught banishing the monster.

I'm really curious which monsters cannot be banished now. The only ones I know of are those that return to the field *after* banishing.

Should have been a SR at least. This is the only generic "N" card which is widely being played, which tells something is off..

Exactly, a game becomes much better to play when everyone are willing to make some effort by purchasing contents.

Free-To-Play players whine too much.

Just use some cash on a meta deck, cards like power of the guardian will stop being a problem

Yeah, the structure decks are super cheap and the sales can give you great box cards for only a few dollars. My favorite are the 99 cent UR's, and the reopenable pack deals. With reopenable ive gotten the card i wanted most of the time because resetting it increases your odds a lot. It's really cheap if you take advantage of sales

this is one of the easiest cards to get as a f2p player too, since it's only an N rarity

Just equip this with Jinzo. Then it's over. Provided that you have the right spell cards for defense

Cosmic Cyclone, Darklord Desire, Dark Magic Attack, Dark Magical Circle, Elementsaber Molehu are for the most part UR super hard to get and deck specific.
From this list, Cosmic cyclone is what I would personally recommend because it is not deck specific.
If you are using a dragon deck consider using Arkbrave dragon.
If they have 3 PotG equipping 3 monsters it gets rid of all of them.

Man, I don't think the guy is asking for an UR or a SR card as a solution for his problem.

If he has a hard time with PotG he's likely a beginner who can't afford more than Rare or Normal cards.

This would help the other beginners more too.

Only a B+? This card is pretty bonkers.

Exactly, when you get a few ultra rare or super rare from boxes that equip spell is easy to counter.

If you struggle against it then buy more UR and SR.

Next time, try to build a deck with 3 copies of this card. You will see that it is not that easy to win with it.

Of course, opponents who have no counters to this card just rage quit at the sight of it, but most don't because they can deal with it.

This + Red Eyes Slash Dragon is unbeatable. I lost to it and decided if you can't beat it, use it. There's really no solution other than getting lucky and getting 2 canadias, but even after that you need a boss monster stronger than RESD's defense to destroy it.

Slash Dragon loses to Lava Golem burn, Silent Spellbooks (Magician negates Fusion), Desperado (doesn’t target, so Red-Eyes can’t negate) and etc. You either are playing a really bad deck, or just suck if you can’t beat this

Spellbook of Fate also doesn’t target, so that’s also another reason why they have a good matchup against this deck

Enemy Controller + Mythical Bestiary on the second turn = opponent resigned before I even declared an attack.
