Exchange (Not Joking)

[Snatch Steal]

 

Okay, hear me out.

 

Imagine, perhaps in the Monarch mirror match, you find yourself unable to draw too many of the right cards. Using this, you can potentially take your opponent's Monarch cards without your having any, and maybe even disable your opponent from making their own plays.

 

Kind of sacky though, but I think it has potential in Monarchs, since they run very few staples most of the time.

It's way too situational to be of any worth. There's better cards to side in a Monarch Mirror Match.

I love the card art.

The idea of killing a deck that relies too heavily on a combo or alternate wincon is hilarious to me.

It does sound kind of sacky, though.

its best used to give your opponent exodia;

it's an interesting card to run even outside the mirror. if you time it right, you can force Maxx C, veiler, or other kind of play, simply because your opponent won't want to let you have said card. (and they can't use raigeki, dark hole, or similar cards on your turn, so you could take any that they may be holding onto) in other situations, you can pop their cards while your hand is low and then give them something(s) they can't use (like an edea in PKfire) that way if they get rid of it, you benefit, and if they don't, it remains a dead card. and under domain lock, or after their Maxx C's effect, you can literally steal their hope from them.

 

 

of course, the problem is that you can't exactly know what it is they have before you use exchange, and to that, mega thestalos and his vassal say hello.

...and here I am wondering which of the two dudes in the card art activated this.

unless he's completely off his rocker, not the guy with exodia.

And yet the guy with PoG didn't set it first.

Is Dude on the Right going for Dark Sage? Seriously, his hand was DM, Time Wizard, PoG, and Raigeki. In other words, Spells that Sage can search on Summon.

Also, Dude on the Left . . . judging how that's Mirror Force, that's an Exodia Stall variant. Dirty.

It doesn't make sense for either player in the artwork to activate "Exchange" in the current situation… that is assuming the cards on the left and right belong to different players, the hands however don't quite match.

 
Also of note is that the original (Japanese) artwork, as well as the the dubbed anime version, depicted other cards in the hands; none of which would warrant the artwork to be censored.

 

Art aside, the card doesn't really do anything to help you most of the time. Often you don't know what your opponent is holding, and if you do, you can probably not activate this. Also remember that it is a -1 in card advantage, and your opponent might still benefit from the card they get out of it.
