Obviously this is better, it's 2 fiendish or 1 fiendish from the grave if you dump it. Fiendish is better only if Triverr is released.
This works even if you destroy it with MST. With CC they are the same.
it's at the level od forbidden chalice don't let yourself be baited. The gy effect can only be activated in YOUR turn if you ain't stoping your opponent during their turn you surely won't have a next turn, it doesn't stop attacks and with 4000lp that's important. If what you want is to stop the likes of rhino, bounzer or dweller then use chalice, it's faster
This card has it's advantages over chalice. Going second against harpie players, if they normal summon and I use my set chalice/BS and they chain swallow's nest or lance and summon cyber slash, I can use the GY effect of BS my turn on the cyber slash and do my combos. Def will see plays.
Seriously you waiting a whole turn to negate slash? Use providence/divine wrath instead they can't chain swallow nor lance to it.
Even in your scenario where they dodge this card you are not getting a second turn you'll be otk on the spot
And let's not talk how this card is completely useless against harpies going second. At least you can activate chalice the very moment you draw it
Idiots are comparing chalice/providence to BS when they all have their pros and cons. For sure BS is gonna see plays because of all the effect monsters running around.
Effect negation that doesn't destroy is not that good nowadays every deck has extra deck plays and multiple summons per turn: harpies have nest an egotist, resonators is all special summons, onomat can wait for you negate to them add to their hand something to keep playing, TD can summon tons of times too
uhhh, cards that negates effect+destroy has a cost of discard, which not every deck can afford. That's why you only see BE use them because they benefit from discard. There's a reason why karma cut/providence/divine wrath are not used in every deck because it's not very splashable
Bouncer only negates, still tier 1 xyz material.
Witchcrafters only negated, still became tier 1 when they came.
Fiendish still popular although it doesnt destroy.
Yugioh is all about powerfull effects. Effect veiller was and still even today is one of the best cards in tcg and had the same effect.
