Wacky Worded Yu-Gi-Oh Cards

- Card effects in Yu-Gi-Oh have a lot of reputation, both good and bad in the Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh TCG/OCG community. Today, we take a look at some of the weirder card effects, many of which are still the most updated versions as per Konami's official simulator Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. Why are they like this? What do they mean? And has Problem Solving Card Text ruined the future for their cards?
"I tribute summon a..."
"Can't. Mask of Restrict."
"What?"
"No matter what the situation, neither player can offer any monster as a tribute."
"But that card's not on the field!"
"The card being on the field is a situation."
"Does it even say that anymore?"
"The card being errata'd is a situation."
"You don't even have that card in your deck!"
"NO MATTER THE SITUATION!!!"
"GARY!!! THERE'S A BOMB STRAPPED TO MY CHEST THAT'S GOING TO EXPLODE IN THREE SECONDS IF YOU DON'T TRIBUTE A MONSTER!!!!!"
"...no matter what the situation."
Lol, although you'd have to at least activate it once. Until you do, "no matter the situation" doesn't apply since its not active.
@@masync183being activated is a situation
I remember a friend did something similar with the card Dragon's Bead. It negates an effect that would target a dragon, but he interpreted that to mean any action (that has an effect, as in it effects the game state) that would target (as in put his dragons in any danger whatsoever) could be negated.
''I summon BUSTER BLADER''
(it could destroy his dragons)
''Draaaagon's Beeead'
''ok... then I activate monster reborn''
(it could summon a monster that could destroy his dragons)
''Draaaagon's Beeead''
Next Turn
''I activate dust tornado!''
(his dragons might need that spell or trap card)
''Draaaagon's Beeead''
Next Turn
''I draw''
(you could draw something that could negatively affect his dragons) ''Draaaagon's Beeead''
What makes me angry the most, is that the ocg text for penguin knight actually makes sense:
"When this card is sent from the Deck to the GY by an opponent's card effect, return all cards in your gy to the deck and shuffle"
They just fucked up in translating it...
Upper Deck's localization just kinda ignored the OCG's language being precise from the very beginning and wrote their cards more like MtG cards. Most of the goofy text in the early game is the result of that, and PSCT is really just Konami saying, "We're going to be following the OCG's grammar from now on [except for numbering our effects.]"
@@Zetact_It's actually quite ironic how some of the most confusing card text was caused by MtG's influence, given that that same influence also led Konami to simplify card text with key terms like piercing damage over "this card deals the difference between attack and defense..."
As a Dark World main it's funny how "i can't do that, you didn't make me discard it" doesn't make them understand. Also "yeah not once per turn"
Don't forget Mask of Restrict. It's doesn't matter if your Eglen is pointing it's dagger like talons at your throat to summon Empen or if Caius the Shadow Monarch is holding your family hostage, NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION neither player can offer cards as tribute.
And even better, there's Yado Karu, who lets you minus by placing cards from your hand on the bottom of your deck, but it is courteous enough to let you place them "in any order you desire"
That's why I never offer cards as tribute. I simply demand the tribute. Gets around pesky floodgate effects like Mask of Restrict.
The best part is while a lot of the janky card text of the past is linked to bad cards mask of restrict is a card that as seen a lot of play through the years so many have had the glory to stand face to face to its omnipotence of a floodgate
Yado Karu seens like great suport to The Force of Nature.
Can’t forget Voltester’s threat
“Destroy all Link Monsters that point to this card, then destroy all other monsters that those Link Monsters pointed to, and follow the Link Arrows of all those destroyed monsters, destroying everything they point to, and repeating the process, until there are no more to destroy”
As worded it would only destroy two iterations as once they are destroyed they no longer point to anything. The past to present tense switch seems inartfully worded.
@@professorhaystacks6606 What’s even more strange is the word “everything” is used and the fact that “everything” means “only monsters” here
You could conceivably argue that if the secondary Links were pointing to backrow, that those would be destroyed too, since it only specifies the first set and second set of destroyed cards have to be monsters, but then says "everything they point to" for the third set of destructions.
Also it conceivably ends at that third set, since you could argue that you'd repeat the _whole_ process from the start instead of continuing along link arrows for further sets, but since you already destroyed anything pointing directly to Voltester, it would end the effect.
"Until there are no more to destroy" is fucking metal tbh
Don't forget Waboku's original "Any damage inflicted by an opponent's monster is decreased to 0 during the turn this card is activated."
Which somehow protected your monsters too, because I guess originally Konami might have planned some kind of "damage to monsters" system in the game? (it's well known Yu-Gi-Oh started off as a copy of Magic the Gathering, which does have a damage to creatures system)
Yugioh GX - DS Game where it did exactly that 💀 2006 I think
Kotodama effect: "destroy all monsters with the same name"
Kotodama PSCT: "that means you only destroy the newly summoned one, not all of them"
Oh, those wacky effect texts sometimes...
No the "destroy all" still applies in one case. If my opponent has 4 scapegoats or harpy ladies and I NS Kotodama, they're all dead.
But also if there isn't already one on the field and multiple show up at once, say you use De-fusion on your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, *then* you can destroy all of them, because they all entered at the same time while having the same name. They are all equally the newly summoned one.
It destroys doubles on field. Because of that, any card played that's a double gets destroyed
Then there's the old Polymerization text where theoretically makes you able to fuse monsters like Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon since it says "Fuses 2 or more monsters as fusion materials to form a new fusion monster".
Still my favourite pre errata card lol
My sister and I did this back when we were little and didnt know shit about the rules. "Fusing" our strongest monsters into a "monster" with their combined stats and thinking it was "high-level play".
One of my favorite bits of card text was on an obviously bootlegged card that activated when your opponent attacked and would “make that damage null and on the contrary”. My and my brother laughed for a solid minute from that (and, oddly enough, the card was NOT magic cylinder)
I got stung with fake cards as a kid and some of the card texts were legit written like a student trying to fill a word count on an essay
I knowingly traded some legitimate cards for fake ones. There's a peculiar appreciation to be had for things like "YZ - Track Dragon"
Snoww is honestly very understandable if you've played the game long enough but as a new player it had me very confused. If discarded you get a search, and if it was discarded by your opponent you get to revive one of their monsters to your side of the board as well. The revive is targeted, meaning you gotta tell them what card you're gonna revive when you activate the effect
Don’t forget that Snoww must be discarded by card effect and not cost. Something that a new player can easily overlook if they haven’t learned how PSCT works.
And
The wording is just all over the place on Snoww. Going from being discarded by anyone to only being discarded to an opponent back to an effect that works when discarded by anyone without mentioning it suddenly went back. Sheesh Konami, finish 1 effect before going to the next effect, don't jump back and forth between them like that and attach the second effect's condition to the first effect.
@@_Vengeance_ wasn't trying to imply otherwise. Unfortunately it has to be that way since the card targets and targetting is done at activation. This raises the obvious question of why even make it targeting, I doubt it actually mattered for any interaction back in the day and now that it does (ishizus) the card is powercrept to the point where non-targeting wouldn't be broken
That's a real pain in TCG, because in OCG, Snoww and her friends were reworded a bit better upon the release of the Structure Deck R...
①: Activate when this card is discarded from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect. Add 1 "Dark World" card from your Deck to your hand. If it has been discarded by an opponent's effect, you can target 1 monster in your opponent's Graveyard upon activation. In that case, apply the following effect. ● Special Summon the targeted monster to your field in Defense Position.
Broken Bamboo Sword has the effect „The equipped monster gains 0 ATK.“ which is just there to prevent that the Spell is discarded after activation. (There are cards which work together with Broken Bamboo Sword to draw cards, so that card itself is not useless )
Then we have old Polymerization which goes: "fUsE 2 oR m0ar FUsiin-matEriAl moNStaHs 2 fOrm a new fusiin m0nStAh 😱😱😱"
He is speaking the language of Joey wheeler!
I think the problem with Snoww's effect is that they wrote things in a weird order. first they should've just written out the whole rota effect, and *then* talk about the additional monster reborn effect if your opponent's effect discarded it
Morphtronic Scopen
● While in Attack Position: Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 "Morphtronic" monster from your hand. Destroy it during the End Phase.
● While in Defense Position: While this card is in face-up Defense Position, it is Level 4.
That is exactly how its worded lol
It reads awkward, but at least it _does_ something: it is level 3 when in face down defense and level 4 when in face up defense. This matters only for Ritual summoning, since you _can_ use face down defense monsters as materials for ritual summons.
Penguin Knight be trying to unite the league way before WB ruined DC movies
I played Dark World. The number of times I had to wait for a judge to come and tell them "Yes, he is right. Thats how the card works" is staggering. The number of rage sharks that would get upset over this was noot so staggering. But the number of times the rage sharks did everything they could to bring it to time or get kicked for calling judge twice per card I played was annoying af
Love that Kotodama requires clarification because its card text is blatently wrong without it.
anouther wobaku
I recently had my Snoww moment because of playing Purrely in Master Duel, because her and another Dark World monster are possible discard fodder techs for the Purrely Memories.
The part in the middle is an additional effect added onto the base effect under the right conditions.
So the base effect is that if it's discarded to the GY by a card effect, you add a "Dark World" card from your deck to your hand. That's it. The special summon doesn't happen, because "that target" refers to a card that's only selected if the additional condition is met.
If the card was not only discarded, but specifically *from your hand to the GY by an opponent's card effect,* then FIRST, you target a monster in their GY. Then you carry out the base effect, searching a "Dark World" from your deck. THEN you special summon the card in your opponent's GY that you targeted, to your field in defense position.
They wrote it as weirdly as they did because the targeting has to happen first. So they apparently couldn't just write out the base effect and THEN add the extra conditional effect all after that.
The official ruling for Yu-Jo Friendship is that you just have to accept the "idea" of the handshake, you don't actually have to do it for the effect to work
I love how dramatic og Mask of Restrict is.
Here's Penguin Knight's effect if it were to be given an erratum.
When this card is sent from your Deck to the GY by your opponent's card effect: Shuffle all cards in your GY to the Deck.
There you go.
so I shuffle my grave and then put it in the deck?
The thing about Snoww is that it's not actually that complex of an effect, so once you know how it works, you just know how it works. And you BETTER already know how it works, because the words on the card won't help you one bit.
5:06 it is simple to explain how this card works:
-the effect activates when it gets discarded by a card effect
-it lets you chose a dark world monster from your deck and add it to your hand.
-you can also special summon a monster from your opponent's GY in defence position but that's only if snoww got discarded by your opponent's card effect.
I always liked Big Shield Gardna for having an effect which triggers when targetted while facedown with a Spell card. How often do you see that let alone on a card from like 2003?
Deus-X-Krawler
I think the spirit monster Amaterasu has that kind of effect too. It's a cool protection effect that's only ever on bad cards, unfortunately
Just applied such similar conditions as protective effects on a custom card two days ago.
It protects it from Nobleman of Crossout.
The fact that Neos Alius is a Genini monster was historically v important even if it was never Gemini summoned. It meant you could use cards like Gemini Spark and Hero Blast on it.
Back in my day i didn’t have to bring a dictionary and a thesaurus, now my house is destroyed by burn damages
That's what I call an Ookazi moment
Question: Does activating Penguin Knight in a tournament get you DQ'd from the tournament?
You have "formed a new deck" meaning you're not playing with cards not on your decklist since you didn't list the second deck and in fact cannot list the second deck since it's an ever changing potential.
You just gotta be gamer enough to submit all possible Main Deck 2 permutations. Ez
@@Renewablefrog1224but then you might not be playing with a minimum of 40 cards in that new deck, so you'll have to take that into account too
There's another issue, what about extra deck monsters, you can't have those in the main deck, but they have to be put in with everything else if it was in the graveyard 🤔
Congrats a card from DM has once again broken the game. Lets just call the new Main Deck with Extra Deck Cards in it the Extra Main Deck.@@homerman76
* old Penguin Knight
Main deck 2 seems like a possible master rule update in the future lol
Penquin Knight was op back in the day when my brother's included 2-3 gravekeepers servants on the field during Magic Ruler.
Amusing; as a Magic player, some of the effects you call wacky seem simple enough to parse to me, such as Snoww, but so many core mechanics that seem natural to the game completely elude me such as synchro or pendulum
The best way Snoww has ever been described to me is that it's written in a coding language sort of style. That's the basis behind the weird wording, and computer science majors I've shown the card to point this out and can read it's effect perfectly, but they're still confused on why it was worded that way in the first place.
The only logical reason I can imagine Snoww (and other Dark Worlds with this sort of weird starting line) starts off this goofy with an effect nested within another effect is because if it wasn't, or if it was worded slightly differently, not only could it chain to itself but be used to chain block. Imagine layering your Snoww effects so your opponent can't Ash it just by making the revive effect CL2.
Therefore, the only people who would be able to get Snoww's effect on first read are CompSci Yugioh pros, also known as trans women I guess. Hope this helps a bit 🥴
I'm glad someone else noticed the missing Bible length explanation missing on Rivalry of the Warlords.
I also hate how Problem Solving Card Text and new errata's make understanding certain things harder. "Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways." and "Must first be Fusion Summoned." are clearly defined with their differences. "Must be Fusion Summoned." doesn't explain anything. Yes card, the Fusion Monster must be Fusion Summoned. Good job!
Also I don't like how they changed the wording on Cyber Dragon cards to be easy to misread. "If your opponent controls a Monster and you control no Monsters-" is unmistakable while "If only your opponent controls a Monster-" is easy to overlook the word only.
"Must be Fusion Summoned" exists because there are cards to Special Summon Fusion Monsters out of the Extra Deck without Fusion Summoning them, like Metamorphosis. (It's banned, but other examples exist like Cattle Call or Shadow's Light.) As a result, if it "Must be Fusion Summoned", then the "cannot be Special Summoned by other ways" is implied. If it "Must first be Fusion Summoned", it can be Special Summoned back from the GY/banished if it was Fusion Summoned first, but cannot be Special Summoned by Metamorphosis. If it says neither, it can be Special Summoned by Metamorphosis (but if it's summoned in this way and not Fusion Summoned, it can't be Special Summoned back from the GY/banished because Yu-Gi-Oh is still a pile of confusing rules sometimes).
@@ascriptmaster Another banned card that would be restricted by "must be Fusion Summoned" would be Cyber-Stein
@@Selnathorn Same with Magical Scientist, and Guardragon Agarpain, but I didn't list all the banned ones and listed a few that weren't because I wanted to show that those situations still exist in legal play
The "cannot be summoned by other ways" is a funny stipulation preventing revival of the monster under pretty much all cases.
Must be Fusion summoned is clear enough that u can only special it by fusion summoning and not any other way
You can usually special summoned fusion monster afterwards... fusion summon is the method u only suppossed to summon it that is attached to the card limitation/condition
To be honest, as a Dark World Player from heart, Snoww is written fairly technical and with logic behind it.. it just reads weird. The Semicolon indicates a cost, that has to be paid then your opponent can react (for anyone who is new to yugioh). Since a cost always comes first, the first thing to happen in Snowws effect, if it was discarded by a card or effect from your opponent, is to target a card in your opponents Graveyard. Then you can search a Dark World card (if snoww was discarded in general), then you can special summon targetted monster.
Really hitting them nostalgias with those soundtracks
The reminder text on Kotodama is actually relevant, because without it, simply any time there are multiple face up monsters on the field with the same time, they would all be destroyed. BUT, with the extra text, 3 different things happen:
- when Kotodama enters, all face up monsters with the same name are destroyed.
- when kotodama is on the field, if a new duplicate monster is summoned, ONLY the new one is destroyed
- if multiple were to be summoned or flipped, ALL of them are destroyed
Hence, the original/non-reminder text would actually not be an accurate description of her ability.
To the monster recovery: I can see that happening accidentally and now we have 2 stressed players
As someone who has literally never played YGO and likely never will, you KIND of helped me understand YGO!
Wait omg your Videos are so good i love that RUclips recommend them to me :3
4:54 it seems pretty straightforward, right? It says if your opponent has a card with an effect that makes you discard Snoww to the GY, and they make you do this with that card effect, Snoww’s effect activates; the effect being, you can target a monster in the opponent’s GY, search a card from your deck, and special-summon the targeted card to your field in defense position.
Edit; oh damn, I didn’t even see the split meaning. Lemme try and rephrase the effect.
“If this card is discarded to the GY by card effect, add 1 Dark World card from your deck to your hand. If this card is discarded to the GY by an OPPONENT’s card effect, you can do the above, and target one monster in your opponent’s GY to special summon in Defense position.” The “IF ANY” in the original statement is more important than it appears-I thought it was like in case there was no such monster in the GY, or something.
they really need to start putting number bullet point like the ocg
Nothing to add just love the topic and the Kotodama art card.
Me in elementary school thinking I could make my opponent target his own monsters with his attacks by using Patrician of Darkness
Good fucking lord, Gonna need my lawyer to read this shit to me.
Snowww is simple
1. If discarded by a card effect add 1 dark World card from your deck for your hand
2. If discarded by an opponents card effect gain both the first effect and the added effect to special summon one monster from your opponents grave to your side of the field
And this is why you trust wizards to write legibly and not Konami
LOL in modern text, Penguin Knight would be something like, "Shuffle both players' GY into the Deck."
I was watching this video at the same time I was playing OSRS, and for a moment it was messing me up because I couldn't figure out why I was hearing the music when I had the game muted.
Snoww would be much more understandable like this:
If this card is discarded to the GY by card effect: You can target 1 monster in your opponent's GY (but only if this card was discarded by an opponent's card effect); ...
My current "fix" for its text would be as such:
If this card is discarded to the GY by card effect: Activate this effect, also if it was discarded from your hand to the GY due to an opponent's card effect, you can target 1 monster in your opponent's GY: Add 1 "Dark World" card from your Deck to your hand, then Special Summon that target (if any) in Defense Position.
Inspector Boarder is the worst, obviously because of its effect but also because it just blatantly ignores Normal and Effect monster card types in its so called "reminder text", which makes it way more oppressive than it would be if its own existence allowed one effect to go off.
I need "fungus bungus the not so fun-gi" to be real and based off the old mushroom man cards. Make him cause all effect monsters(everywhere) to be treated as normal with no effects(except Gemini cause they always need the help and indestructible by spell traps.
He'd be very unfun.
If that were printed effect monsters would cease to exist. Everywhere doesn't just mean in that game. xp
I had a copy of Kotodama from almost 2 decades ago, and never gave it a thought (Most likely cause I didn't read the effects and focused on artwork or stats). But now I'm thinking about using it against Cyber Dragons, by summoning a Token to their field, then Special summoning the original from my hand on turn 1, so my opponent can't play any of their Cyber Dragons, since so many of it's other versions count as it while on the field. (Yeah it may be RNG focused and Clunky or Slow, but it's using the card creatively at least XD)
Snoww just has to be shown resolving, not explained, cause that is one of the few that PSCT really hurt lol. If discarded by eff, you search. If the discard was from your opponent, choose a target before your search, then special summon after the search
5:22 imagine if it made Extra Deck cards in the GY into that Deck!
0:29 * puts on glasses * run-day-boo
So, it's very wonky, but the commas are used to connect the effects,
So, with Snoww, the text about being discarded is ended with a comma, and then the part you apply in addition to the main effect if it was the opponent's effect, starts with a comma.
So, kind of think of it like the commas are boarders, and the text in between the commas is the main effect that's applied regardless of who discarded it, while the text outside the commas(minus the condition text) is for when your opponent discarded it.
Example: [Condition text here]
*If your opponent discarded this card, target a Monster in your Opponent's Graveyard*
[If this card is discarded, add a Dark World Monster from your deck to your hand]
*Special Summon the card you targeted*
this is why i like Rush Duel card text
@@halyoalex8942 I fear YGO is a little too complicated for Rush Duel text formatting.
I lost it at the mushroom. Lmfao
There's also that gagagigo guy that cracks me up every time.
content reminds me of reverend. Real good stuff keep it up!
could someone explain to me what happened with the axe of despair I could not understand why the other cards were not correct targets?
We need a card called Fungus Bungus the Not-So-Fun-Gi and it has to be meta relevant for several straight formats and then drop off in popularity only to be become banworthy 10 years later.
Gemini Monsters should have been half yellow half orange like Pendulum Monsters.
Unite the graveyard...so I can merge with my opponent's....right?😏
1:20 I don't get the interaction here. He equips Axe of Despair to the opponent's monster, and when he uses Tailor he only has one suitable target... why? What was his intended strat?
I actually hate Masterduel showing the column thats been Impermed, i like banking on the fact ppl spam click activations and still put spells in the middle
0:17 BEAUTIFUL
XD
Another day to be glad i play mtg
NO NO NO
"While" this card is set. Once it's face-up, it does nothing...right?
Snoww effects only activates if it was discarded by your opponent effects, not your own effects. That first line of text is unnecessary.
Honestly being too stupid to understand the cards is why I never got into Yugioh. I still appreciate hearing about Yugioh though.
cursed seal of forbidden spell shure is a trap of all time
Is the cost of "Dark World Lightning" is : "Target 1 Set card on the field" ?
Yes
A Knight must Unite!!!!
Could not pay attention halfway through because my ears recognized Genshin music 😆
If you are watching this video with a tablet, you can enjoy the hilarious video from anywhere (regardless of position)
I hate text walls. I miss the simpler times.
I think another good example would be cyber eternal, the ruling on it is super confusing as it doesnt say what the conditions are for special summoning the cyber fusion monster ignoring it summoning condition and makes it out like you choose either of the two effects (special summoning your cyber fusion monster ignoring summoning conditions or returning it to the extra deck) a choice you can make regardless of if said monster was previously on the field or sent to the graveyard directly from the extra deck.
it matters in the case of Overdragon (since that one can only be Fusion summoned), i.e. it's to trump card mechanics in the one (and future proofed for more) that end up saying they can only be Fusion summoned
Yeah I got the Cyberdark End Dragon structure deck for my nephew when it first came out, and he figured that he could use Cybernetic Horizon to sent Cyberdark End Dragon to the GY and then summon it with Cyber Eternal. Just from reading Eternal by itself, both my nephew and I understood that he could do that combo. Then he got super upset whenever he tried it on Master Duel and we found out that that's not how Eternal works 💀💀💀💀💀
The ironic part is, the "must be first summoned correctly" ruling doesnt exist within the rules themselves, its entirely self gaslighting by the playerbase as the rules explicitly state "if a card effect conflicts with rules (that arent how effect speed and board state work), the effect trumps rule", thus CE by rules as written would summon any of the cyber fusions.
3:06 lmao
I think kotodama psct actually is useful, otherwise I'd assume that summoning that 2nd monster would destroy both the first and second monsters
thats barely even psct. psct is a way to structure a card to accurately describe what a card does in an understable way. koto card text is plain out wrong and needs the brackets as the expanation instead of a supporting info like instector border
Yo does anyone know what Small World and Inspector Boarder actually do?
You should've talked about Voltester
rendezvous is french it is pronounced ron-de-voo. or something similar to that the S is silent
5:10 your lying, if u actually know youd just say it, when snoww is discarded add a dark world card from deck to hand, and THEN if discarded by opponents effect then do the special summon side effect. Darkworld can be confusing but its not that hard when you read it right
I don’t use cards I don’t feel
Like reading ( I lose every duel)
magial dimension, the destruction of a monster is not an effect but part of resolution....go try explain that to random ppl at any tournament... op card it dosen't even targert....
Super funny video
1:54 Wait so, wat does this mean it can do? R u saying I can play fuse line to easily pop 1 of there cards like MST? Wait, but how in the fuck does that work? Does it even go to the gy? bcuz it never got activated. Is fuse line just a column specific MST with infinite ammo that never activates the card or its effect?
I need some1 more knowledgeable to explain fuse line to me. It just sounds like an alternative to MST.
"While this card is set," is an activation condition to make the card work- it's just the only state in which the card can be used and flipped up for its effect. (Which makes sense, since it's a column gimmick.)
This just means that if you tried to use it from hand (with something like Makyura) or from grave (with something like Transaction Rollback) you wouldn't be able to, as it would not meet this condition and as a result, could not be activated. You can only attempt to activate it while it is set.
@@XJHenryX Wundt it make more sense for it to say “this card must be set to activate this effect.”? And ok so wat ur saying is fuse line is just a typical normal trap with the condition that it has to be set to even use its effect so it can’t be cheated out, it still has the usual trap problems and benefits too.
@@baileydombroskie3046 It definitely would be clearer, yeah, but it's one of the older cards with a column gimmick (2017, which is before things like Mekk-Knights and Imperm) so the wording probably wasn't yet refined.
It's pretty bad since it is just a regular trap, and was only ever printed as a secret so it's not like it's a cheap bulk option lol- it does work with Labrynth though which is very funny, so it does have that going for it.
Fontaine bgm 1:32
3:11 why would it be so bad if the card actually worked that way?
Because people would use some card like Exchange to get one of their opponent's cards into their hand, then use monster recovery and shuffle it into their deck and maybe "forget" to return it later
it makes total sense to stop it being forgot or "forgot" but theres a simple work around have a universial rule that cards in hand get shuffled into the owners deck and effects only care if the card got shuffed into a deck from your hand and not which deck it went into.
