Evilswarm Ophion ( Anti-Meta Option? )


Recommended Posts

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 Ophion

Dark / Dragon / Xyz 

Rank 4 / 2 level 4 "Lswarm" monsters

2550 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.

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.

Evilswarm + Brandish is something I've seen around OCG

 

But if you want to tech Ophion, your best bet is honestly PKBA and the rank up spell
