Dark World Spell - Sinister Propaganda

[Oriannis]

Edit due to LORE repair.

 

Lore:

Banish 1 "Dark World" monster from your Graveyard. Until the End Phase, all monsters discarded from the hand to the Graveyard are treated as though they were discarded by an opponent's card effect.

 

I know this is confusing and but it was an idea that came along and I thought it was a good one. Could someone help me with the OCG, I don't think its right.

I love dark worlds, but this is too situational, and even if it wasn't i think it wouldn't be very very helpful....is not even searchable by snoww

[Neutrality Man]

This isn't situational at ALL in DW. This actually lets them self-trigger their useful yet ignored secondary effects. Grapha will become Number 11: Big Eye on top of the pop power, Reign-Beaux will see use, etc.

Overall 9/10 for keeping an old Deck in the competitive scene.

I don't like that this changes even Discard costs into Discarding by Opponent's effect. But beyond that, I like this card.

i didn't read it correctly. Now that i do, i see this card is quite nice, maybe too much...at least it is counterbalanced but is not-searchability

The counterbalance was an accident that i recognized while looking at the DW cards. I realized that snoww being unable to search it added some more balance. The cost hits DW decks where it hurts in banishing one DW monster from the grave.

Thanks for the LORE repair! Unleashing the secondary effects of DW was the aim of this card. once a player knows your using DW, the secondary effects are useless unless you get empty jar'ed.

I don't like that this changes even Discard costs into Discarding by Opponent's effect. But beyond that, I like this card.

 

I don't understand what you mean. Discarding cards is a cost in itself or have I missed something obvious?

See, this is the kind of response that a person who knows nothing about how a DW, or in other words, Grapha.dek works. This is situation in a deck like Grapha.dek or in some random DW jank that a non-experienced player would throw together. A card like this requires you to have a discard outlet in your hand, and since Grapha.dek needs all the draw power to plow trough the deck, the player cannot afford to dedicate a slot in their deck for a card that might not be used since it turned up as a dead draw. That also applies to any other rogue DW deck.

 

The idea behind the card is decent, but the execution is bad, given that, as already stated before, Snoww cannot search it, which further proves my point of it not being a good card in the deck.
