Deck Devastation Virus
FET-EN058 (FLAMING ETERNITY)
SUPER RARE


(Trap card)
Tribute 1 DARK monster with an ATK of 2000 points or more on your side of the field. Check all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, your opponent's hand, and all card/s he/she draws during your opponent's next 3 turns, and destroy all monsters with an ATK of 1500 or less.


Well i just fallen in love with this card.... Everyone knows I fiend kinda guy and this card just fits right in. with 3x dark necrofears, Dark ruler Ha des,Archfiend of gilfer and The End of Anubis and Giant orcs, makes this card very viable in a fiend deck. And it fits right into the theme of my deck, To annoy my opponent!!!
 
i fell in love with Crush Card as soon as i saw it. As for this card, i can say about the same... about. its easier to use, IMO, but it targets not as much... ish... It still, however, rids you of those annoying Jars, DD Ladies, Dons, Marauding Captain, Exiled Force, Most Warriors actually, Sprit Reapers, etc.

its a great card and im definatly throwing it straight into my zombie deck as soon as i get it ^_^.

art- crush card is better, but this one has good art too.

Id recommend it for any dark/fiend/zombie deck.

Major Con/Pro: Gives more of a reason to use Mask of Restrict

Pro: Lets you see your opponents cards, and destroy them at times.

Con: May be hard to maintain a monster with an ATK of 2000+ by the tim e you draw this card...

good card..... good card....
 
Don Zaloogs best friend:
Just put a few tribute fodder monster in there (namely giant orc, it tends to stay on the field when it doesn't attack)

then the combo:
Messenger of Peace + Deck Devastation Virus

Monsters 1500 or lower are destroyed, monster 1500 or higher can't attack, 1400 attackers rule the field.
 
It also opens the door for a LOT of cards that were MUCH too risky to run before,

Such as:
D.D. Designator becomes a guaranteed D.D. Warrior Lady for Monsters/Spells/Traps before your opponent even puts them into play.

Mind Crush is a Confiscation without Cost that can be activated during your opponent's turn.

Card Destruction/Morphing Jar stop being so random and FORCES your opponent to DRAW cards and if they draw monsters with 1500-ATK, they are destroyed too.

Drop Off becomes MUCH more reliable and, like Card D., stops being so random. You can look at their card as they draw it and if it's not destroyed by DDV and it might hurt you, drop it off.

Use further hand disruption with "Ante" and "Trap Dustshoot".

And let's not forget that they can't keep secrets from you for 3 whole turns.
 
I've not seen the rulings on this...but it actually destroys face-down monsters without FLIPING???? That would theach something to the Jars! :D
I ask because I compare this a little bit with Acid Trap Hole...
I MUST check the rulings now :D!
 
Against a lot of decks, this card would be near useless, since some decks don't even run creatures that weak. Against an Exodia deck though, gah, the horror. Three free turns of not having to worry about losing by Exodia, then however long it would take them to manage to pull the pieces back into their hand. I fear this card for that reason alone, and not really for anything else. Let's just hope you've got some backup in your Exodia side deck against this, like Seven Tools, just for this card alone. I don't know how often I'd main deck this over "Crush Card", but it's definitely side deck worthy if you're playing with dark creatures that have power.
 
actually, cranium, in my decks, most of my monsters have a base ATK of 1500 or less.... (11/20 of the monsters in my amazon deck are "devastated" by it... 12/19 in angel deck... 9/16 in harpie deck... 10/19 in my zombie deck... you get the point) but thats just me... i mean, other people probably have stronger monsters than that.

it is, however, not very effective against skill drain decks, beatdown decks, and most fiend decks... (most)

you can protect your monsters on the field from it by using power up cards, however, so that is one of this cards flaws, depending how you look at it... and it does render most flip-effect monsters utterly useless, which is a plus. it kinda falls in the catagory with ceasefire, nobleman of crossout, and light of intervention (and man with wdjat) to be against FD cards. anyway, im done here.... ^_^
 
yea...........looks like ill be sidedecking giant orcs....... im gonna sidedeck a DDV.

hmm......cards this would kill...

Exodia, Sangan, Witch, Scapegoats, Cannonsoldier, Magician of Faith, Maruding Captain, Newdoria, Jars, Scientist, Sinister..., DDWL, Don zalog, all 1400 atk searchers, Gardna, Celtic Guard, Blood magician, Mangu,

wow good thing itll be limited to one april 1st.

only decks thatll be hardly affected are beatdown, skill drain, and spellcaster, all three of which could easily use it.
 
I think I'm the only person that didn't wet themselves when this card came out.

The only 1500 > ATK monsters that I run are, Don, Needleworm, Sangan, Sinister and DDWL so forgive me if I'm virtually indifferent to the fact that my opponent is happy to use up one trap, and 2 monsters to have a stab at getting rid of those.
 
This is a poor man's version of the "Crush Card" but it's not the monster destruction that's so potent. It's the fact that you get to see all of their set monsters, their hand, and anything drawn for the next 3 full turns. This doesn't just include what they draw during their draw phase, but if they use "Pot of Greed" or "Graceful Charity" while this is active, you see those as well. This card combos well with a lot of cards to give you a dominant hand control edge over your opponent that you can leave them with practically no hand and free shots to do whatever you want. Be thankful it is limited to 1.
 
vortex

this is a good side deck card i would put this card in against exodia.zombria the dark would work good whith this card. and it is a warrior so you can search for it whith reinforcement of the army.
 
Play this with 3x DD Designator (which stomps on CEDevice, Sangan and CyJar ) and some look-at-opponents hand cards or bounce monsters....could be quite fun to play against or with a deck like that.
On the competitive level, the problem is getting that 2000 atk power requirement, first deck that comes to mind for me is zombie. If you get it off, great, you shut down their control monsters and peeked their hand, but without the other hand destruction cards, Forceful and Conf.(timing reasons for these cards), this just seems to lack the support to create a serious impact on the game at hand.

PS - Scientist is gone on 4/1 Bans so there goes a reason to maindeck this card.
 
Haha, no secrets for 3 full turns. I absolutely love this card. I'm just gonna look at your face-down cards if you don't mind, ok? Oh, and can I look at your hand while I'm at it? Bye "Cyber Jar." So long "D.D. Warrior Lady." Shame you had to draw that "Right Leg of the Forbidden One" now.

This card works well against so many decks and a good bit of high ATK monsters are DARK. I imagine it's gonna be used and abused come April 1st and I'm gonna be one of the guilty ones. Should be lots of fun. My Fiend's just got a new best friend :D .
 
Ow, my deck. All monsters in my deck save two (2) have under 1500 atk. And Lava Golem and Total Defense Shogun are hardly enough to keep me alive (unless I got some trap stall card out by then...

On the plus side though (for decks like mine), it is still possible to special summon low atk monsters (so you wanna DDV my face up spear cretin? OK, I'll just bring another one back from my grave. Go ahead, bring back your monster. See if I care much... :p...)


On another note, I have two questions, what is the base rarity of a DDV? I pulled an Ultimate Rare Deck Devestation Virus yesterday, and I'd like to have an idea of how much it's worth... And second, does anyone know when Crush Card will be released in english? Also an estimate as to how much it will be worth (how much money will I have to include in the trade to trade my 1st ed. Ultimate DDV for their 1st ed. ultimate CCV?)
 
Thanks. Any idea when Crush card will be released? Sorry to be repetetive, but, well, that card would really help my deck a lot, and it would be nice to be on top of the situation when it first comes out....
