"If this card is sent from the Field to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card"

 

...what?

 

Okay, I know the anime effect of "When returned to Deck, draw until you have 5 cards" was ridiculous, but...how exactly is this going to go to the Graveyard from the field? It can't be destroyed by battle or card effects. You're not really going to TRIBUTE this, or use it as Fusion/Synchro Material (and using it as Xyz Material won't let its effect work). And even Links don't really want this.

 

So...what? Are you actually counting on someone negating this card's effects?

It's a safeguard, so if it does end up getting negated, you get something out of it.

 

Or, it just dissuades your opponent from trying to negate it.

If you have 3 set Solemn Strike, you're not exactly gonna let them shuffle them all, are you?

You could use it as Link Material after attacking with it.

I think he was talking full effect negation in a way for the float to mean something. Strike wouldn't be able to destroy this, so the float still wouldn't come into play.

Oh sheet I missed that this can't be destroyed by card effects. Dinomischus FTW I suppose.

No space for them. Not even enough space to finish the Timelords.

1) What about 40/41?

 

2) He could have meant it was a design move meant to facilitated the sofs; which could be true even if they were not in the set.

 

3) That being said, having looked over the S/T for Timelords, none of them have built in effects to send to grave. It might be a future change from the anime (when they get made) or it might just be them trying to accommodate for creep by having a built in advantage float.

 

Ain Sofu: 

 

Activate only by sending 1 face-up "Nonexistence" you control to the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Special Summon Level 10 or higher monsters from your hand. You can Summon monsters, ignoring the effects of any "Timelord" monsters you control. The ATK of all monsters you control becomes 0.

 

Infinite Light - Ain Soph Ohr

 

Activate only by sending 1 face-up "Endless Emptiness" you control to the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Special Summon Level 10 or higher monsters from your hand. You can Summon monsters, ignoring the effects of any "Timelord" monsters you control. "Timelord" monsters you control do not have to have their effects activated that return them to the Deck during your Standby Phase. If you have Summoned 10 or more "Timelord" monsters with different names during this Duel, you can send this face-up card to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.

 

Nonexistence Machine - Ain

 

If you control no monsters, you can Normal Summon Level 10 or higher monsters without Tributing. The ATK of all monsters you control becomes 0.

A. He covered what he meant

B. Chances of there not being at least 1 more ZeXal card is near to none

 

there are 9 Timelords + Metaion + Sephylon

there are no more than 8 slots, with it probably being 5 slots per series, so expecting another GX trap.

If this was a full deck with all the cool support you could always be WOKE enough to use Advance Draw on it. Nice +1 interaction there. But nah, with what's coming there's not enough to make The Most Annoying Stun Deck Ever. As-is it's just gonna be incomplete and mediocre without that searcher angel dooder.

I'm aware of that. I was referring to them doing something with them down the line.

This is what you're referring to I assume? Yeah that'd be bolded.

 In either case, as the cards currently stand, we don't have any effect that would send them to the grave

 

 


 

Wiki has a exhaustive list of searchers for this card: This card can be searched by "Dogu", "Single Purchase", "Painful Escape", "Witch of the Black Forest", and "Sangan"

 

NICE

you cannot edit a post after the fact and then act like people definitely saw your edit, especially when you don't even mark it as such

 

you edited that in after I quoted you, if not replied to you, which should be clear

I'd give you that, but a form of my edit was even in the post you quoted.

 

The edit was adding in the sof effects and a phrasing change, but the general message stays the same.

VCR is sadly right in either case

 


 

Checked Escape, it's a dead end
