Spiritualism

SPIRITUALISM: Normal Spell
"Return 1 Magic or Trap Card on your opponent's side of the field to his/her hand. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated by any other card."


Ok, Correct me if I am wrong, but is this or is it not an awesome card??? Sure It bounces the card back to the hand, but look, IT CANNOT BE NEGATED BY ANY OTHER CARD>..... Am I to assume that this also means the Infamous as of late Horus Lv 8 is not able to negate this either???

Someone please tell me I am dillusional and just think I found a MAJORLY OVERLOOKED CARD>... or was it Erratad and I am just ""Riding the short Bus""...



Update.... I just looked at the Errata... NOT THERE>>>>
Looked in the FAQ.... this is all there was...
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]SPIRITUALISM [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Spell or Trap Card goes to its owner's hand (in case your Spell or Trap Card was on your opponent's side of the field). [/font]


BOTTOMLINE>>>> WHY ARENT PEOPLE RUNNING AT LEAST 2 OF THESE

Rating: 4/5 (till I find out it really sux and I am up in the night being stupid..)

It has the same weakness as any other M/T destruction card (the card can jsut be chained), or the opponent can just take it back for another turn. It does give the choice to your opponent of what to do, (control means you wan to make the choices in the duel. Control works)

However i think that Spiritualism should be sidedecked, because it may be the only thing that can stop a lock-down:

(Silent Swordsman Level 7/Horus + Royal Decree/Sorceror of Dark Magic + Imperial Order)
 
So they can still chain and use the Effect of the card (if it is able to be used, sort of like with Nob. of Extermination...) So they either chain the effect or it goes to the hand.... thats still pretty good, cuz you make them choose RIGHT NOW if they want to use it or not. I like it....
 
Meh...Even though I am a fan of bounce cards, this one is not so great. For one, bouncing M/T's is generally bad because yea, they'll generally chain to it...Giant Trunade is ok, but still not that great IMO. Second, Spiritualism only specifies magic and traps...I don't see why it could work on any card (well, maybe just face-up monster or set M/T), or if it prevented the card being sent back from being activated, THEN it would be ran in twos, possibly even semi-restricted.
 
Maybe this card would be good if run in conjunction with Cold Wave and/or Xing Zhen Hu.... maybe this could be a combo worth looking at.....
 
But Spiritualism's text specifically says that its "activation and effect cannot be negated by any other card." So why not?

Or if you cannot, wouldn't the same thing as Amplifier vs. Spell Canceller?
Maybe not, oh well

Under the Sonic Jammer rulings you'll see that Sonic Jammer does prevent Spiritualism from activating.

Cold wave's text is more similar to Sonic Jammer than to spell Canceller's text.

Densetsu suggested the disrepancy was because Sonic Jammer was a lingering "Condition" and Spell Canceller was an active Effect.
 
Also, I guess you could say that they are preventing the activation from ever occuring, not trying to negate it.

my thoughts on spiritualism:

its meh. i mean, its not a card that would be good in only one deck type, yet its not a card that wouldnt be too bad of an addition to a deck. you obvioulsy could use giant trunade instead, but the fact remains that this guy cannot be negated! thats awesome already. id give it a 6/10 or so. just imagine if it was a quickplay spell or trap... ^_^
