Ultimagamer Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 As we all know ophion is a very good counter to decks that require the summons of high level monsters, be it xyz, synchro, fusion, or otherwise Evilswarm OphionDark / Dragon / Xyz Rank 4 / 2 level 4 "Lswarm" monsters2550 attack / 1650 defense While this card has Xyz material, level 5 or higher monsters cannot be special summoned. Once per turn: you can detach 1 Xyz material from this card; add 1 "Infestation" spell/trap card from your deck to your hand. Given that a large portion of the meta is pendulum magicians, which rely on synchro summoning somewhat along with astrograph sorcerer, building an anti-meta deck around ophion doesn't seem like a bad option all things considered. You can play 3 rescue rabbit, so summoning the normal evilswarm monsters for a one card ophion who can search protection is pretty good. The only really bad thing I'm seeing right now is True Dracos, which have re-entered the meta again. They rely on tribute summoning rather than special summoning, so in that match up you'd have a bad time. Against Invoked, Mekk-Knights, Pendulum Magicians, ABCs, it doesn't seem like a bad card, since you can always just search pandemic and still have at least 1 material Infestation Pandemic Spell - Quickplay All face-up "Lswarm" monsters you currently control are unaffected by other spell/trap effects this turn. would it be a good anti-meta call? I could definitely see someone using a bunch of traps and bringing this out, with rescue rabbit at 3 and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Best Male 2008 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Definitely not a good meta call. Lots of people around where I live have tried it out and it just doesn't work. Pen Mags out it very easily, it doesn't do anything to Trickstars, True Draco runs it over no problem etc etc. The deck is good only going first which is a major problem in this day and age.
