[Black D'Sceptyr]

Third Night of Fright, and welp, its a good thing Pit's illiterate or else

Normal Trap Card

Lore: Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1500 or less ATK, then declare 1 Type; each player must pay 500 LP to activate the effects of monsters with that declared Type for the rest of the turn, also until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation, the ATK/DEF of all monsters with that declared original Type becomes half their current ATK/DEF.

The story for this comes from another familiar source: Creepy_Pasta_Reader, a rather chillingly compelling short story poster on Ifunny. Specifically, its centered on this insight into the mind of one of the last remaining survivors of the Sleep Plague.

The Trap itself, however? Well, at the simple cost of a DARK monster Tributing, this card puts both Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon conditions and OTK blockage on a Monster Type for three turns. Not completely neutralizing, but certainly a hassle for any uni-Type Decks to navigate, like Saladbois, Cyber Dragons, Thunder Dragons....especially them.

Trap Trick and Lilith search it, the latter can be Tributed for it (or any weenie card can under Lair of Darkness conditions) and it basically turns Borrelswords into not-easy-bake-aggroboxes. Here's hoping we find some use for these cards.

Until the next Night of Fright, tricks, treats, you know the drill.
