Zenmailstrom

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Zenmailstrom
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card: Target 1 Face-Up "Wind-Up" Monster you control; Return it to the hand and negate the Spell or Trap Card and destroy it.

I was bored and it's 10 PM.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Don't you mean...Zenmailstrom?

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Nope. Maelstrom. Look it up :3

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I know what a maelstrom is. It's just that normally, they are spelled "Zenmai-".

Seems balanced and would let you reuse their effects. Me gusta.

How would it go in one of the "good" Wind-Up decks that I've never actually played?

The "good" Wind-Up decks that are played are T1 hand rape, so...not too well I guess. But the card itself seems rather solid.

Well yea I know they're hand rape, but I figured a +0 Spell/Trap negator would be pretty good there too.

Hand rape, set this, opponent draws Dark Hole

Plus you aren't always guaranteed turn 1 anyway.

Well, I guess. But the thing is, FTK version packs lots of Level 3 monsters, so it's ridiculously easy to obliterate opponent's hand completly.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Eh, still feel it could be used in the OTK for a backup or something.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Changed name finally and need more comments pl0x

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Thanks!

Make it flip the monster face-down so it doesn't cut field advantage as much.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

The idea was that the actual cost would be losing field presence, even though you aren't losing advantage because in all honesty, flipping them to defense is a bit more helpful, especially with protecting your Life Points because yes, they do matter to an extent.

I basically had it in my head to make something whose cost was to actually hurt you a bit, rather than some of those cards whose cost is to help your deck go faster.
