Wednesday - Bait Doll
LON-096
BAIT DOLL
Type: Magic
Effect: Force the activation of 1 face down Trap Card.
If the timing of the activation of the Trap Card is
incorrect, negate the effect and destroy it. If it is
not a Trap Card, it is returned to its original
position. After this card is activated, it is placed
into the Deck (not the Graveyard). The Deck is then
shuffled.
Though the card is very
situational, it works out pretty well. It stops some
of the biggest Trap cards we fear, dead in their
tracks. Examples would be Mirror Force, Magic
Cylinder, and Torrential Tribute. Not to mention it
hurts Counter Trap cards as well.
That isn't the main
reason why it's a decent card though. Because we all
know Mystical Space Typhoon does all that, plus more.
The fact that Bait Doll gets shuffled back into your
deck after use, is what makes it an interesting card.
This allows it to work well as a single copy in your
deck (I wouldn't reccomend playing anymore).
Bait Doll does have
many flaws though. The main one being that it bites to
Continuos. And with Skull Lair soon going to be
gaining alot of popularity (I guarantee it), it
doesn't make it any better at all.
The second major flaw
is that it can bluffed very easily. All your opponent
has to do is set some random Magic card on the field
and watch as you take the "Bait" with your Bait Doll.
Now your hand is one card smaller and your opponent
still has the same amount of cards out on the field
and in his hand. Atleast you have that secondary
effect...
...Rating: 3/5
Strictly an average
card, but one that's worth playing in single-copy
form. |
