This punishes the opponent for using hand traps, huh. A different option to maining anti-hand traps like Called by the Grave and Crossout Designator. IDK if I would take the risk. Securing your combos can be more profitable than what this card can give you.

[~British Soul~]

In all seriousness, aside from the fact that it relies on your opponent, I still see it being the chase Secret in TCG.

Also this card in a nutshell:

[Darj]

Oh wait, it can also punish the opponent for negating stuff with monster effects if you are facing a negation board after going second. But you have to be able to go through to resolve this card.

[Dragulas]

This is at the very least a strong side deck option to conside, as said above not sure if I would take the (potential) risk of having a dead card going first. Called by the grave at least have some uses during both turns

[Dragulas]

This probably should go on the rulings section but: Would I be able to Ash this card, even I choose not to draw?

I am aware that being in the scope of "an effect that incldes" means its enough for said action to be written on the effect being resolved, but these multiple choice cases makes me wonder.

[Darj]

AFAIK you should be able to negate it with Ash, yeah.

[vla1ne]

i beleive ash says "Includes the effect to" and this does include the effect to draw, so yeah, ash ought to work. 

 

that said, this card is definitely going to be a boon against ash blossoms and other cards of that ilk. so long as your opponent does anything on your turn with a monster, you have a choice between using pot of greed, change of heart, and forceful sentry. this card is one of those cards that is liable to get limited in the future, as running three of them really doesn't have too much of a downside, and it can work well with any manner of deck, so long as they can get you to use a monster effect on their turn. it's 3 banned effects, for minimal requirement, i see no way this card will not be meta.

what the fuck where they thinking
