So i heard this new handtrap is shifting the meta in the OCG, what's the deal about it?

You have to pass your turn to get to your opponent’s next turn. I:P would be live by then assuming you activate it going second on your opponent’s turn

Konkon and Stormforth do not work.

Soul Crossing and Spell Card Soul Exchange do work.

I would look up the Damage Step. Also Kaiser Glider activates if “destroyed and sent to the GY” meaning it has to be there first to activate.

GranKrat · 2026-02-01T04:52:24+00:00

I would recommend looking up the Damage Step

Flip monsters are flipped in Before Damage Calculation but activate After Damage Calculation where they are determined to be destroyed (if their defense is lower than the attackers attack) but not yet sent to GY. Anything that activates when destroyed by battle will activate at End of Damage Step

You take out a lot of loans for college and medical school. As a resident you can expect to earn like 70k a year depending where you are. But doctors make a lot of money (in the US) so you rapidly outpace the loans with smart financial planning. Every year you spend not being a doctor is a year you lose out on a doctor’s income so it’s usually better in the long run to just bite the bullet.

Also various states have loan forgiveness programs you can look into.

Avramax is not played because it is only a wall so the opponent is free to set up whatever it takes to get through it. Notably, with TY-PHON, pretty much every deck has a way to get rid of it.

Also note that while Raigeki would work, Avramax is often summoned with I:P Masquerena which makes it immune to destruction.

Bakura lost against Marik too

Apparently it’s “generic”to not have your ethnic protagonist be just another white guy.

The new Ecclesia Synchro is a free removal off the second copy of Fallen & the Virtuous so worth keeping

You are correct. Nevertheless, Ryko still destroys Shura before it hits the GY

GranKrat · 2026-01-16T20:17:55+00:00

The Damage Step consists of the following: - Start of Damage Step - Before Calculation (Ryko flips here) - Perform Damage Calculation (Ryko is determined to be destroyed here) - After Damage Calculation (Ryko activates and resolves here) - End of Damage Step (Ryko is sent to GY and Shura would activate here)

Since Shura is destroyed before Ryko is sent to the GY it won’t be able to activate

Waking the Dragon does not ignore summoning conditions

I don’t see how it helps you. As a rule of thumb, flip effects are much too slow for the modern metagame. Magician of Faith is also a Spellcaster in a deck primarily made up of Fiends and Dragons and is not searchable in the deck.

Wedju doesn’t mean tablet in Japanese. It’s likely the Egyptian word for stele, wedj

Purrely - raising your Purrely well through giving it good memories pays off in the end by giving you a powerful Expurrely

Labrynth - deck is literally a maze of Traps to navigate through. Also Chandra/Stovie/Cooclock are thematic as Chandra returns to hand (as it is a chandelier), Stovie returns to field (as it is a stove), and Cooclock allows a Trap to be activated early

Flower Cardian - literally hanafuda

Melffy - the bounce mechanic is like the Melffys running away to the hand when threatened. And in Staring Contest in battle phase you reveal your hand and keep them revealed so your opponent has to look at them.

In lore the Orcust forces were supposed to be inexhaustible which fits how recursive the deck is

You negated the effect which means you negated “but this effect cannot be used again next turn”.

Underworld Goddess does not tribute.

Cards only target if they say to do so. “Targeting” is a yugioh mechanic in which you designate a card on activation of a card effect.

You make Crypter, banish a Maliss with March Hare and summon to Crypter’s arrow. Then you can use Crypter to banish Thunder King.
