RD/ST02-JP011 Dragonic Pressure
Spell Card
Requirement: Send 3 monsters (Dragon) from your hand to the GY to activate.
Effect: Destroy all monsters on both sides of the field. If any monsters are destroyed by this effect, you can Special Summon 1 monster (Level 4 or lower/Dragon) from your GY in face-up Defense Position.
Rush Duel

Oh boy, he likes dragons, what a novel concept. It's pretty weird to think about, but sending 3 monsters to the GY isn't that heavy of a cost considering how Rush Duels work here, and I assume you can't use non-Rush Duel cards in a Rush Duel, otherwise why bother with such a card, but hey, they got a Dark Hole of sorts. Rush Dragon Dragears and Seven Road Magician both mill as a cost, so that's a cute thing that may not come in the anime, probably not, but could be.

I know this is a new format in OCG, but I have some words about Dark Dragon Knight.
It reminds me of the early days of this game, when we got level 5 vanillas with shitty stats like Morinphen, Shapesnatch, etc and here we are with that again. The art is cool, but the stats are shit.
One thing I will say about the Spell regarding the wording is I know they're trying to make it sound simple for newer players to learn and play this format, but not even Dark Hole/Heavy Storm said "on both sides of the field" even in their original prints.

Well they are working with a new writing system and they were just revealed, so maybe the translation is not completely accurate. I mean, unless you speak Japanese, who is to know, it may say something completely different.

I'm just making an observation about the new writing system (as I said as a disclaimer about making it sound simple), no need to jump down my throat so to speak.

I was jumping down your throat? Is that all that takes now? I was literally not trying to be mean, aggressive or anything, so where is this coming from?

Ok, maybe you weren't jumping down my throat and maybe I shouldn't have overreacted when you simply reiterated what I said. Perhaps I took the "unless you speak Japanese, who is to know." as a sign of passive aggression when I know it wasn't, but it should be implied that I don't.

Yeah, again, that comment was a generalization, I suppose that me quoting you made it more personal, and perhaps I should have made it clear I wasn't saying that to you. All I mean is that only Japanese speaking people can fully understand what the card does, translations are prone to fault.

I know translations are prone to fault (that goes without saying sometimes), for example we had that just last week when Winter posted the Gaia stuff and the fusion was originally mistranslated at the time he posted (regarding what it was treated as).

Well, it costs going -4 to nuke the field and revive a level 4, with the full 5 card draw one can get out 2 level 4 or lower Dragons in that same turn.

Given that the high level monsters seem to be "difficult" to answer (no extremely cheap options yet) that might actually be worth it.

(And being able to anwer a full board might be quite valuable, given how spammy the mode seems to be)
