It's exactly what he means: You banish 10 and then draw 2, and those 2 draws will be pretty worthless if all your other good s*** got banished.

 

ex. Draw into Decatron -- Banish all Infernoids

ex. Draw into Pend Sorc -- banish all Dracos

What the hell are you talking about

 

How is the rest of your deck worse than what you banish

 

Are u purposefully building your deck without playing as many good cards as possible

Like you can name all these random ass scenarios or "banished my brilliant fusion/terraforming/rota targets" horror stories but the fact of the matter is that the next 10 cards of your deck are no longer resources to begin with, you are stuck with what you have in your opening hand and you can't expect to draw into those 10 cards if any key cards are in there because grind games no longer exist in 2016

 

If you can't access them with your opening hand they don't matter to begin with

 

No one freaks out when they end a duel without seeing the last 20 cards of their deck or whatever

ex #1 - Infernoids get a draw 2 or something, they have the possibility of banishing the majority of their possible Infernoid targets, and they're not retrievable off anything that I know of. Decatron will have less targets and you have less fodder in general.

ex #2 - Performapal lose the majority of their possible engine, banishing Face-Offs, Dracoslayers, you name it. If you summon Pend Sorc and add stuff, if the majority of your deck (and possible targets) are banished, what are you going to fetch? If Luster Pendulum gets banished, you lose Ignister access, and losing your Joker, Monkeyboard, Silver Claw, etc. invalidates any of the searchers you may draw.

The point he's making it you might have well not seen them at all. So whats the point of having them in the deck when you could potentially get a +1 off trading away a resource you wont use

this is exactly correct.

 

This is why the card would be sheet in pendulum or PK. With those, you really do have access to pretty much any card in your deck, so this burns through fuel. Otherwise, it is just drawing two cards in a way that appears to be costly.

 

Tbh this is just proving my original point about how the mindset of yugioh players prevents grasping why this is so good

And like Pendulums and such wouldn't want to use this for the above stated reason, the same is true for Infernoids. Obviously you wont put this in Infernoids because you can and hope to use most of your deck's resources via Reasoning and other such nonsense. But in decks that dont search terribly often and/or search for thigns they run 3 of anyway, the card will be great the majority of the time. EVEN IF youre playing a deck that with lots of search, you can easily do all your searches your opening hand has to offer, and THEN Cupidity. After that point you'd be topdecking anyway, no reason to not get a head start.

I mean, I'll give that it's not very "2016 YGO"-minded, but it's a good card.

 

Banishing 10 cards you'd be too slow to see means jack sheet.

 

The only deck that it seems Astounding in is Shiranui, and that's because it finds your Sword by banishing it (hopefully, if you didn't draw foolish in addition to Sage access) as well as renewing resources that normally need Omega to return.

 

It's not really different than milling. You wouldn't see those cards anyway, so who cares.

I mean just for shiggles I've been testing Soul Absorption in shiranui running this.  In all honesty, there's a lot more effects in Shiranui that proc Absorption than I initially thought, but It's very, very difficult for your opponent to actually do something once you set up Omega and then gain 5k and draw 2 (which only needs 3 cards to begin with)

 

It's pretty hilarious tbh.  I've had duels where ive literally gained 45000 life by the end of it.

Konami could pretty easily rule that Omega can't bring them back ya know

 

"neat" OCG deck surfaced of using Soul Ab to get multiple shots outs of Cyber Stein...seem inconsistent to me thoug

That's not how rulings work. It's already a precedent that face-down cards in YGO can be interacted with by cards that only care about their physical state (A card) or their final location (IE: Fusing a set monster you control, but its type/etc. is known in the grave). They would have to change the wording of this, because there is no reason that Omega/etc. would not work.

 

Also, Burial from a DD is a lot better in the Omega context. It lets you expend all your Mezuki/etc., then you get FD stuff back with Omega while this lets you skip using Omega on face-up cards, which is effective.

A lot of people, including an admin, seemed to think I was incorrect in my assumption that Omega COULD work. If seemingly everyone is against you, there might be some merit in the opposition.
