Compensation of Left Arm

[Atypical-Abbie]

Hidariude no Daishou / Compensation of Left Arm
Spell Normal
You cannot Set Spell/Trap Cards during the turn you activate this card.
(1) If you have (2?) or more cards in your hand: Banish all cards from your hand; add 1 Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.

 

It is interesting, similar to a lot of cards that add from the Deck to the hand, I suppose it may be useful in Final Countdown since they don't really have a good way to add Final Countdown, the punishment is quite harsh though.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Dragon Rulers are very sad somewhere lol. Add Rejuv, add dragon, get dem +'s

[Thomas★Zero]

In some ways it could be interesting for HERO's if you set all your s/t have at least 2 cards being HERO's banish those with this and add Parallel World Fusion to then use those banished monsters to make a Omni HERO

[The Highlander]

@Thomas Zero: Even though using polymerisation instead has the same amount of investment involved and does not limit your further plays (in this case poly if blazeman would NOT exist).

[goodfusion]

I wonder how the TCG will change the artwork.

 

The card itself... it's a Single Purchase (more or less) for spells. I would still rather use Symbol of Friendship if I want The Heart of the Cards.

[-kyo-]

this was a trap in the anime and it sent all the cards in your hand to the grave

[Hexanort]

well i think this could be used in hero for desperate situation, search rota/e-call, get bubbleman to draw another 2 , or  get fifth hope and use the draw 3 effect

[Toffee.]

Oh hey, they are printing this card. Neat.

[Spinny]

Oh look we get 6 Wavering eyes. Please no.

[The Highlander]

@Spinda: Sure, you can have a copy of wavering eyes if you are willing to go (-2) or even worse, just to grab it. Not to mention losing your entire row of tools to adjust.

It's not a -2 if you are about to pop 4 with wavering eyes.

[Lonk]

This guy should've fapped with his left arm.

 

Other than that, this card is unremarkable.  Though... adding Soul Charge with this card is super neat.

[The Highlander]

It's not a -2 if you are about to pop 4 with wavering eyes.

I did obviously state just to grab it, not what it can be worth, though wavering can go +4 you are still required to get one of the best conditions for wavering eyes, just to get the cost back.

Just side it for Pendulum vs Pendulum. Wavering eyes practically defines those games

[玄魔の王]

Another card Diamond Dude decks Love.

A lot easier to play around than you give it credit for. Generally decks than can do things outside of the pendulum summon its not as defining. There are waaaay more variables than "haha wavering for 4." 

 

things like ignister popping your own scales and shuffling the other to deck T1. I've been wavering'd for 4 countless times and still managed to win those games, the only time i achieve it myself is vs Majespecter who don't really run much defense vs it or bad players who have no idea what they are doing.

 

Alchemic magician exists anyway so theres that

[vla1ne]

Psychics can use this to search e-tele, summon a tuner, then use psychic feels zone for a synchro summon and then... yeah, i got nothing, but it's an interesting premise.

Ultimately its greatest purpose is being featured in the line "This card can be searched by 'Compensation of Left Arm'" on the wiki page of every spell, joining the ranks of Dogu and Single Purchase.

[Azure Wolf]

You could use it to search Power Bond in Cybers before Network is destroyed for a easy Twin or Overdragon. Or search Limiter Removal and Xyz Nova and such.

I've always wondered why Gold Sarc doesn't get that luxury 

[Tinkerer]

Search Brilliant Fusion maybe?

[Atypical-Abbie]

I kind of hate how you can't Set the turn you use this, I feel like banishing all your cards is fine enough for something like that. When you think about it, adding a single Spell Card to the hand won't probably break the game if you're also throwing away all your other cards, with only a few Decks being able to use that to their advantage. If it's so important for them to have a specific Spell Card, the banishing cost should be big enough.

I think it's so this card doesn't combo with "Card of Demise". I mean, it's not the greatest thing, but Demise could pay back for the cards you'd lose with this.

What exactly makes you unable to use Card of Demise as well?

[The Warden]

Because you have to discard your hand during the End Phase of using Card of Demise. Because you can't set S/Ts the turn you use this, you can't protect them from CoD's discard by setting them. That's what he's getting at I believe. Plus there's the fact that their combined debuffs would prevent you from doing anything during the turn anyways.
