Linebacker is sexy.
Playmaker tho.... That is just cool.

...

Still wishing they had another Level 4, though.

About time they got some U.S Football supports.

 

Linebacker works so good with Ace, cause they can both cover over Monsters and S/Ts conservatively. Linebacker also weakens beatsticks by changing their BP; so great. Playmaker is pretty eh, but he can gain a lot of ATK via Stadium and can be bounced anyway, so he's good making Slugger deal big damage. In all, I really love how all supports of these cards work like an actual synchronized team and there are no bosses.

You can easily play around linebacker by putting something in the opposite battle position.

You can easily play around linebacker by putting something in the opposite battle position.

Not really?

 

I mean, it's optional, so if they summon in the opposite position then Linebacker won't give a fuck.

 

With something like Arcanite Magician, yeah you can, but that's hardly something that's going to punish Linebacker.

 

Most things are going to be summoned in ATK anyways, which means you either play into it or don't get to push at all because it doesn't care that you're in DEF most times.

they might have a referee or an umpire for that

i wonder if they'll do hockey,lacross,and cricket?

Really liking Linebacker. It's noteworthy that it switches ALL monsters summoned, so if your opponent Pendulum Summons, they're ALL getting switched to defense mode. That's a rather nice addition to the deck.

 

Playmaker is... odd. It lets you attack over what UA Stadium doesn't... Whuch means it's actually easier to get over stuff like Killer or anything in Trains. Handy, but not amazing.

 

Also, these guys give Rank 7 and 8 access to this deck, technically.

[The Warden]

At least these two in some ways might be able to possible justify using Redox. Not saying it's likely, but it is possible.

I mean, yeah its effects are still negated, but you can easily play around the first part of it if its definite that they would use linebacker on it.

Linebacker's too defensive. It won't get you past a Defense Position Construct, and it doesn't create any more combat opportunities than Jersey.  At least the negation is permanent.
