I'll be talking about Yu-Gi-Oh today, and this is Different Dimension, what to watch
out for. We'll start off with Skill Drain. Skill Drain is a trap card that when activated
negates the effects of all effect monsters. Layman's terms, this means that your effect
monsters who run your Different Dimension deck are ineffective -they don't do anything,
they just kind of stall. With this thing on field, you're not going to be able to play
much, and whatever is on the field you're not going to be able to use. Anything that
removes monsters, like Kiko or Bansher, their effects no longer apply. Things like Helios
-no longer effective. He's a 0-0 monster that will totally get wasted. You can bypass this
by, of course, by running a Dimension Fissure or Macro Cosmos, but you don't always have
those out, and even then, your monsters like D.D. Survivor, who come back when removed
from play, no longer work. We also have Phoenix Wing Wind Blast. A proper timing of Phoenix
Wing Wind Blast will put one of your key components back to the top of your deck. If you only
have Dimension Fissure out, and you're relying on that to keep things removed, he returns
it to the top of your deck and continues his play. This not only sets you back a turn,
because you're drawing into your Different Dimensional Fissure, but now you don't have
anything else. So if you had no cards in hand, you're just drawing Dimension Fissure and
replaying it, and he could possibly do the same thing. We then have Raiza, recently limited
to one in most decks because of his strength. He, like Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, is a mod..returns
one card to the top of an opponent's deck. They decided that having three of these guys
and possibly three Phoenix Wing Wind Blasts, was too good, so they limited it to one. He
sees play in most Monarch decks, and he's occasionally the one of as a surprise in other
decks. He returns any piece to the top of your deck and then hits you.
