Absolute Powerforce Preview: Battle Fader

I'm back in!
Sorry for the low numbers of posts last month, I became very very lazy xD
Absolute Powerforce Sneak's only some days to go!
As I did when Stardust Overdrive was about to be released, I will give you a preview each day until Saturday.

As I couldn't yet finish  the deck I wanted to present you today, I will start off with Battle Fader:

Fiend - Effect
When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, you can Special Summon this card from your hand and end the Battle Phase. If you Special Summon this card with this effect, this card is removed from play when it is removed from the field.

This thing has 3 jobs to do:

1. Defend
2. Protect
3. Stall

In fact, this is more effective in protecting your life points than Gorz or Tragoedia are, just because you don't take the damage and stop whatever your opponet just tries to do by ending the Battle Phase immediately.

So far so good, but now, which decks should use him?
Well,you could:

- Use him as a Tribute
- Use him for Synchros
- Use him for anything else that has a cost

Most devastating play I can imagine:

Stop 2 of your opponets Monsters with this guy, summon Bora/Shura next turn while Whrilwind is face-up on th field, search for Gale/Breeze (Shinign Darkness, I'm waiting for you *,*) and kill your opponets monsters with Silver Wind.

But there are also soem other decks that can use him!

What do you think about this:

3 Battle Fader
3 Winged Kuriboh
3 Cyber Valley
3 Zero Gardna
2 Maks Of Darkness

3 Upstart Goblin
3 Final Countdown
2 Gold Sarcophargus
1 One for One
1 Reinforcement Of The Army
1 Scapegoats

3 Threatning Roar
3 Waboku
3 Frozen Soul
3 Thunder of Ruler
2 Rainbow Life
1 Call of the Haunted

=> 40

Try breaking this deck's defense! We only have 8 cards in this deck that don't give us one extra turn without condition: 2 Masks, 3 Countdowns, 2 Sarcos, 1 Call
If we have a fitting monster for CotH in our Grave,Call also protects us for one turn, if we have a trap (which should almost always be the case) Mask will do the same.
So 5 "useseless" cards stay: 3 Final Countdowns and 2 Sarcros. While running this deck without Final Countdown would be quite senseless, Sarcros can search protection (or the countdown, if needed).

Weaknesses?
-Decree
-End of turn MST/Icarus/Dust/whatever

Without those, the game should be yours ;)

To end this, I would like to show you an Yugituber (a person doing Yu-Gi-Oh Videos on Youtube). His nickname is  decsilentenigma, this is his channel. He also did a Preview on Battle Fader, and also does some other interessting stuff. I can just recommend you watch his videos ;)

See you tommorow ;)

  1. Yeah at my local store 2 players tried a final countdown deck, without battle fader. I played a ll/opp. deck and i just could win with tempest magician... (i got decree side and mst main)

    if battle fader is released, it could be much harder to beat...
    but its a UR and hard to find card, so it could be expensive ;(
