Yes, Royal Oppression will negate and destroy BLS-Eot-B since it is a special summon, albeit a very expensive one.

Royal Command, a card that has potential, but has not yet seen proper play. It's effect will certainly cause problems for decks with Flip effects in. Sadly though it doesn't work against the manual flip monsters like Swarm of Scarebs and Swarm of Locusts. A good alternative to this is Light...

Quite an underated card, it's effect is certainly powerful when used the right way. I've seen decks completely shutdown by this card and it's powerful effect. Could be good against cards like TER and the like.

First off if Giant Trunade is activated, all the cards on the opponents side of the field will return to their hand and are not destroyed so next turn they can be played again by that player, as in setting Gravity Bind and activating Messenger of Peace. Their effects Disappear when they leave...

Thats what I thought as well. I think people are clutching at straws with some of these combos. I would have thoughts Elemental Burst would have failed since it's timing was incorrect as there were no monsters for tribute of the required Element. I think Bait Doll is a great card, and it's...

I have to say I find this a little sickening. These cards have been around since the days of PGD and it takes one duelist to slap them into a Chaos deck and overnight they have started to become staples simply because a duelist tried something different and it worked. All I can say is if...

Are there any particular cards where the timing is incorrect but Bait Doll allows the effect to go through at all or am I asking a silly question?

It's surprising we don't see this card more in play. The metagame has changed but there isn't as much removal as there used to be for Spells and Traps so it shouldn't be too hard to get the effect off. Although personally for me I think the effect is a little broken in terms of inflicting...

I'm a bit confused by this card now, thought Bait Doll did something else when it forced cards to activate. For instance, if I use it on my opponents face down Mirror Force, would monsters on my side of the field be destroyed?

It's effect flips it face down, but you can flip it face up again if you choose but only once in the turn, after that it would remain face up until your next turn. If it is already face down, you can flip it face use then use its effect ot flip it face down again, but you cannot change it's...

Appreciate the help, didn't think it was possible to activate 2 cards at the same time. Does make you wonder how the chain would be able to handle that, could you activate 2 7 tools to negate them both at the same time to?

Apologies, I am a bit confused by Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder activating in the same chain. Surely you would have to ask your opponent if he/she wants to activate a card in a response would mean you wouldn't be able to activate Mirror Force in response since it's only activated in response...

Thank you for taking the time to check out this article. This is the first in a mini-series that I am creating to aid all duelists to find solutions against the current metagame. So many people post there decks only to see staples being added to them, some of which don't actually fit the style...

I agree, Bait Doll is a very underused card and can vbe quite potent if it it hits a card that would have destroyed your monsters. There are plenty of traps available for it to stop, bar anything chainable and I managed to find a good use in my Type Zero deck, used it to hit any traps and if I...

Well generally any of the 2 for 1 tribute monsters. Double Coston Kaiser Seahorse The Trojan Horse Flame Ruler Whirlwind Prodigy If Skill Drain is face up on the field, would these cards lose their 2 for 1 tribute effects. Also, if these cards are played face down, since Skill Drain...

Another one of these rulings that kind of goes against what has already been said. Personally I should say that Phoenix can't come back because it should be on the field for it's effect of being destroyed by an effect rather than battle to activate. So cards like Horn of Heaven and Solemn...

Thats a very good question. I would say Yes, Phoenix would remain on your side since monsters that are face down usually have effects reset. The effect of Hiita needs to be face up on the field, but since Sacred Phoenix will be face down, it loses the effect.

They can be slow, but very useful. Best play I find is with Giant Trunade in the deck and to save them before setting another card, unless your opponent can pick up what you are planning quickly. Although the cards are slow in terms of getting their effect, they are definatly worth trying.

A truly wonderful set of cards when used correctly, People shun this type of deck so much due to the amount of Spell and Trap Removal in the current metagame. But since the restriction of Mystical Space Typhoon, it shouldn't be too hard to get this deck motoring. I built a version using The...

Today I am going to review three underused but powerful cards that are unique to all other trap cards in the current metagame and how they can be deadly. Three traps with powerful effects if used correctly. But each of these cards have something in common, something that sets them apart from...
