Explained
You can Set it as a Spell; if it's destroyed while Set on your opponent's turn, it Special Summons itself. On your opponent's turn, Tribute it from your hand or field so neither player can banish cards for the rest of the turn.
As a hand trap against decks that rely on banishing.
- Using it in the Damage Step.
How it works
- Set as Spell: You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Zone as a Spell. (Not an effect; no chain.)
- Mandatory Trigger: During your opponent’s turn, if this Set card is destroyed and sent to your GY, Special Summon it, even in the Damage Step.
- Quick Effect (opponent’s turn): Tribute this card from your hand or face-up field; neither player can banish cards for the rest of this turn.
When to use it
Many strategies banish as a cost or effect; Lancea shuts that down for a turn, and works from the hand.
