[DBSW] Ame no Tenki Moyou (Rain Weathery Condition) | The First Weathery Spell Card

[Dokutah]

It’s a Continuous Spell Card meant to disrupt the opponent’s back row!

Huh, so if I got this right, Weathery are all about giving additional abilities to monsters, and appear to be stun-based, and also column based. This is interesting, albeit foreboding.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Oh hey its a Spell Link Monster basically. Well, a Quick Effect bounce can be a useful thing, combos with the monsters of course, but not amazing either.

[Tinkerer]

It's... ok I guess.  Easily gives a way for the Weatherys to proc their SS effects, but really only hurts Traps more than anything else.  Still got high hopes for the archetype though.  They just need some way to spam the board and a few better S/T options, else they will become just a more durable but weaker Rock stun.

 

EDIT: Oh hey, I didn't realize this wasn't once per turn.  Again, it all comes back to how spammable these guys are, but potentially removing all your opponent's backrow before the start of your turn seems pretty good.

[...] but potentially removing all your opponent's backrow before the start of your turn seems pretty good.

I thought the same, though sadly this is more of a 0-1 tech, than part of the main engine. That being said, the archtype looks more and more promising (similar to magibullet, unlike shadow sams), though could still crumble due to lacking important core pieces.

Offhand notes

Seems to be immune to Ghost Ogre, and also the monsters using its effect are immune to Ghost Ogre because they banish as cost

I don't know how this works (should probably look up Atlantean rulings) but if the effects are negated, the monsters should still count as being banished for Weathery effect and thus trigger their self-revive

Chain to Field Spells and Cont S/Ts, not use to remove backrow.

It's a Cont Spell that grants SS2 effects (integral to above point working). This helps get around Cont Spells not having Quick effects.

The above point should also mean that it can't be soft-negated by MST and similar.

Also, in the mirror it grants effects to your opponent's Weatherys.

That depends on what kind of negation we're talking about. Skill Drain, yes as it only negates on the field. Effect Veiler, no as it will be negated even if they leave the field.

The THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE clause is a bit of a nuisance. Banishing to return an S/T seems like an unworthwhile trade-off.

The monsters resummon if banished this way, and at least one of them gets an effect if it's Special Summoned, so yes it's not only worth it, it's likely the entire playstyle of the archetype.

How do you plan to do it with veiler? If they already activated the effect, it won't be on board to target, if it hasn't activated yet, they can just chain it.

I wasn't, though the case could go that you activated it previously before it removed itself from the field.

Actually, as noted earlier, being able to dodge Veiler is pretty cute.

 

For some reason I thought the card actually removed S/Ts instead of just bouncing them, which admittedly makes it signiiiiiiiiificantly worse

Still, being able to chain to hard OPT searching Fields/Cont Spells p nice.

 

Too bad at least 3 of the recent big power cards in that line (Dragonic Diagram, Zoodiac Triangle, Spyral Resort) don't have hard OPTs. :P

Yes, but oracle of zefra does!

[Kaiji]

zoodiac triangle iirc has a hard opt too

I wish this could target your own S/T as well. It would allow you to switch up which zones you granted effects to.
