Delinquent Duo

Pay 1000 Life Points. Your opponent selects and discards 1 random card from his/her hand, and thene selects and discards another card from his/her hand.

 

So I see this card is reprinted in the form of Legendary Collection Kaiba EN101

Of course this is not necessarily an indicative of unbanning, if Ultimate Rare Cyber Jar at Duelist Pack Kaiba was any indication.

 

Either way I'd like to hear what people think of this card as a whole.
A straight up +1 that goes after the hand, with no hard OPT clause to speak of.

Yet, I could see people arguing Confiscation's value over this card, looking at a player's hand and choosing, instead of not looking and being 1 random and 1 card be the opponent's choice outright.

 

Just like how MST got powercreeped by options with additional perks (like banishing or turning into a body) or a bigger hit box (Twin Twister), I wonder how soon we are on making this card unbannable for testing.

 

Back in the day, the hand was supposed to be your safe space for keeping resources (although that didn't stop this being legal during Goat Control days along with Card Destruction and all Jars), and nowadays, you could say it might work against the hand trap heavier environment of the modern game. Not with a ton of precision but yes with some decent range.

You could probably argue that it is not a card that particularly furthers your play and that it might even help the opponent if the discard is unlucky enough, and that this could be the sort of card that nowadays you wanna use in your opening hand when going first to cripple your opponent's play the most, and not as much elsewhere.

The lack of HOPT clause might allow for a combo that'd get close on impact to the Trixtar Reincarnation + Lockbird combo we have sporadically running around, but who knows how abused that'd actually end up being...

Anyways, thoughts/opinions/whatever welcome~

I wouldn't like this card back anytime soon and IMO if hasn't been power-crept enough yet. They may not be selective discards, but it's still a +1 for you. IDK... I cannot but think of Pof of Greed, which is also +1, although in a much different way so I can't say they are comparable. For instance, a big difference is that Pot helps you anytime, whereas Delinquent Duo, as mentioned in the opening thread, works better early game, before the opponent has established any board, or, you know, when it actually has cards on hand, and drawing Duo wouldn't help much if you already facing an opponent's board.

Still, I don't see this card bringing any good to the game.
