D.D. Telepon...the D.D. Universe seems to be an ever
growing place, full of various strange creatures,
from women, to crows, to beasts, and here, a little
Psychic Dolly. This is a Level 2, Earth
attributed, Psychic type Monster, with 500 attack
and 1800 defense. If under your control, and
face-up, then removed from play, you can then remove
a Psychic type Monster from your Deck with 1500
attack or less. If this card is still removed
during your next Standby Phase, you can Special
Summon the Monster removed by this card. I
like this little guy, and he's even splashable
outside a Psychic Deck. He's a combo card for
sure, but certainly makes Synchro and XYZ Summoning
that much easier. He certainly can pull of
some neat tricks.

In keeping with the current theme that is popping
up in new sets, we are going to be talking about a
card that works well when banished. D.D. Telepon can
work in several types of decks. Let’s start with the
most obvious deck type: Psychics. There are several
cards that work well with Telepon, like Mental
Seeker, D.D. Destroyer, Psychic Reactor, Time
Escaper, Bright Future, Miracle Synchro Fusion, and
Parallel Worlds Fusion. We could even run a Psychic
Future Visions deck.
Let’s take a look at some cool plays that we can
make with D.D. Telepon. First summon D.D. Telepon
and attack your opponent’s Synchro or Xyz monster.
Then activate Psychic Reactor to remove both
monsters from play and get Telepon’s effect. Lets
say you have a Psychic Synchro in the grave and
Telepon on the field. Just play Miracle Synchro
Fusion to bring out the all powerful Ultimate Axon
kicker and get another Psychic monster to your field
on your next stand-by phase. Then use Bright Future
to draw two cards.
Psychic type decks are not the only decks that D.D.
Telepon is useful in. We could use it in a
Banish/Monarch deck along with Emergency Teleport
and a couple of Kuribon’s. Banished decks are a
great answer to the current meta. Unfortunately they
are dependant on specific cards to make them work.
It is for that reason that my ratings are not
higher.

Thursday has brought us to our look at D.D.
Telepon. Telepon is a level 2 Earth/Psychic with 500
ATK and 1800 DEF. Telepon's effect says if it is
banished while face up, you can banish one psychic
type from your deck with 1500 ATK, then, if Telepon
is still banished during your next standby phase,
special summon the monster that you chose to banish
with Telepon's effect. 500 ATK is bleh, but 1800 DEF
is pretty good. As far as Telepon's effect goes,
it's good for setting up future moves by banishing
the right monster. With choices like Psychic
Commander, Krebons and a few others, you can set up
future moves like tributing, Xyz or synchro
summoning. Getting it banished is the trick, but
you're all smart enough to figure that out. Telepon
may not seem like much at first, but if you like
setting up a move or two ahead, this is your card.

"If this face-up card you control is banished: You
can banish 1 Psychic-Type monster with 1500 or less
ATK from your Deck. Then, during your next Standby
Phase, if this card is still banished: Special
Summon that monster banished by this effect."
Another Psychic, this one with an interesting
search effect. The effect isn't too hard to pull off
with the right support, but does take some effort.
In a well built psychic deck, this guy can search
out almost anything you need. Sadly, since only
other psychics can be searched for, that limits his
usability.

Today’s card is a psychic
cutie, D.D. Telepon!
This card follows the banishing
theme of the Extreme Victory Psychics. If (note the
IF) Telepon is banished while face-up, you can
banish a Psychic with 1500 or less ATK from your
deck. Then if it’s still banished during your next
standby phase, you can special summon that card.
This effect adds some toolboxing to the deck and
allows you to trigger the effects of Esper Girl and
Mental Seeker without having to draw them. If you
use a D.D. deck, you can use Brain Hazard and a card
like Brionac to repeatedly trigger Telepon’s effect.
I think this is an interesting
card to try out, since it enables a list of fun
combos.
Traditional: 1.5/5 (a little
too slow I think)
Advanced: 3.5/5 (promotes a D.D./psychic hybrid)
Art: 3.5/5 (kind of cute)
