Explained

What it does

A Level 10 Synchro. For each banished card, it gains 100 ATK/DEF and your opponent's monsters lose 100. If it would be destroyed by an effect, banish a card from your GY instead. When a card is banished, banish 1 card each from your opponent's field and GY.

Play it when

In Swordsoul and banish-heavy decks as a boss that gets stronger over the duel.

Common mistakes
  • Using the banish effect when only a Token was banished. It doesn't trigger.

How it works

Materials: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters.

  • Continuous: For each banished card, this card gains 100 ATK/DEF and monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF.
  • Replacement: If this card would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish 1 card from your GY instead.
  • Trigger (once per turn): If a card is banished (except during the Damage Step), banish 1 card each from your opponent’s field and GY.

When to use it

Every banish fuels it, including its own replacement and trigger effects.

Rulings in plain English

Replacement: Can be applied during the Damage Step.

Trigger: Needs at least one card on your opponent’s field and one in their GY. If either is empty at resolution, nothing is banished. Not if only a Token was banished. Not in the Damage Step.
