this card is memes but it's memes that enable the deck

 

Honestly, this card's hilarious, it just doesn't speed the deck up much. At least the script effects work now, but rip Abyss Prop.

This is probably the one card you could use successfully for just the silliest "the absolute mad-man" results.

 

Imagine using that scale effect on their Borreload to steal back what you gave them. If that was done to me, I'd feel like such an absolute idiot, and this card is amazing for that fact alone.

MY GOD

 

THE VIABILITY OF THIS DECK JUST WENT UP A TIER

 

I could get into how this is a Scale 8, good for everything but Heel. 

 

I COULD get into how this Creature Swap ability is gold is with the bosses currently available and this being essentially a Spell ability so Borreload can't touch it (yes Ghost Ogre can LET ME DREAM PEOPLE)

 

But I'm sure you all know what I'm so giddy about. Wrecking your own Abyss Spells.

 

This is essentially Ceruli for the Actors, and god, the viability of the Abyss Spells just come into their own with this. 

 

Abyss King essentially becomes a +2 for the rest of them, Opening turns into a successful Yamata Dragon hit, Dragon's Lair is discount Ghost Reaper, Fantasy Magic becomes Phoenix Wing Wind without the cost, Wild Wagon....oh god, that and/or Abyss Entertainment's gonna get limited YESTERDAY, this I tell you.

 

Run 3, minimum-if only to make sure this goes off on your turn. You've got your playmaker now Abyss Actors, don't let me down.

So it is a searchable Creature Swap, which can choose the targets and gets prepared for later, ignores monster effect protection and can enable its own disloyal effect.

Given that with the 2 most notable Abyss Scripts one can get up to 5 draws or 2 archtypal searches for enabling this a single time, one should dismiss the advantage of getting 2 copies.

Beyond that the "no battle damage" part has solid interaction with the bouncing Abyss Script (forgot its name), in case one does not have the tripple attacker, given that that card is the only real out Abyss Actors have for a Knightmare lock or any other kind of lock (while playing around Knightmare Griffin).
