Thousand-Eyes Restrict
Okay, TER is a pretty darn good Fusion. Definitely one
of the most playable ones. It's still quite popular in
Japan so that should tell you something. The ability
to completely stop your opponent from attacking is
amazing. It's like a permanent Swords of Revealing
Light (until TER is gone of course). If you also have
an Imperial Order out to protect it, it's going to be
really hard for your opponent to get rid of it unless
he has a Man-Eater Bug or something like that.
Stealing your opponent's Monsters is also fun as you
can absorb that Man-Eater Bug before your
opponent gets the chance to destroy TER.
However, like any other Fusions, there is the one
problem of getting it out. For now, you would have to
rely on Polymerizations. Unfortunately, your opponent
can just Magic Jammer or Imperial Order it and you
would have to wait until you get another one. The good
news is that in Labyrinth of Nightmare, we are finally
getting [Fusion Gate]. Check Wartotle's article if you
haven't done so. If [Metamorphosis] (Japanese name),
is released in LON, then TER will become a LOT more
playable. You can simply skip the whole Relinquished
line and just use something like a Magician of Faith
or an Exodia Piece to get TER out. Oh, did I mention
how well TER and Exodia works? TER will stop all of
your opponent's attacks and you can just take your
time to gather the pieces. However, it will be a
challenge to make a deck that can fully support both
themes.
Right now in the US, if you want to make a good deck
with Fusions, make sure it's either Black Skull Dragon
or Thousand-Eyes Restrict.

Thousand Eyes Restrict --
Monday
Introduction: ZzZzZzZzzzZzz..........
Dark
Level 1
0/0
[Spellcaster/Fusion/Effect]
"Relinquished" + "Thousand-Eyes Idol"
As long as this card remains face-up on the field,
other monsters cannot
change their positions or attack. This monster can
take on the ATK and DEF of 1 opponent's monster on the
field (a face-down monster results in an ATK and DEF
of 0). Treat the selected monster as an Equip Magic
Card and use it to equip "Thousand-Eyes Restrict". You
may use this effect only once per turn and can
equip "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" with only 1 monster at
a time
Goods
+Spellbinding effect
+Takes things
Bads
-Fusion monster
-Poor Stats
Anaylsis: With the release of Labyrinth of Nightmare,
we get some new cards
to review. Hopefully, we will start reviewing them
next week. Today we look at a card that will
defitantely benefit with the release of LON. This
monster has a Spellbinding effect, meaning, monsters
cannot change modes or attack. This would pretty much
mean, this is the only attacking monster, which is
really good. Also, like relinquished, this card takes
things, using your opponent's monster to attack into
them. With the release of Fusion Gate, this card also
benefits meaning you can skip the Ritual step and go
directly to fusion for more fun. However, making it a
fusion means it's going to require at least two cards
to bring out this card, I strongly suggest using
Versago Destroyer, instead of
Thousand Eyes Idol. This monster also has a 0/0 stats,
meaning, if you can't
absorb, this card is just use to take target practice
off of. Still an annoying card, but I rather pick
Relinquished over this, much faster, and less
annoying.
Rating: Fun card, if you can bring it out. Still a bit
hard to bring out. It
gets a solid 3. If played right, this card can be very
deadly.
Conclusion: Annoying or effectiveness? |

Wow… can you say “long
effect”?
Thousand Eyes Restrict
"Relinquished" + "Thousand-Eyes Idol"
As long as this card remains face-up on the field,
other monsters cannot change their positions or
attack. This monster can take on the ATK and DEF of 1
opponent's monster on the field (a face-down monster
results in an ATK and DEF of 0). Treat the selected
monster as an Equip Magic Card and use it to equip
"Thousand-Eyes Restrict". You may use this effect only
once per turn and can equip "Thousand-Eyes Restrict"
with only 1 monster at a time.
Well.. that’s kind of like a massive board-wide
spellbinding circle, isn’t it? It also enables some
nasty little abilities…
If we look at future cards (Something I shouldn’t be
doing but am) this becomes a lot more playable. Cyber
Stein (Name Pending) will enable you to take a monster
out of your fusion deck and put it on the field for
the small, small cost of… 5000 LIFE POINTS!? Ok, its
steep, but it may be worth it. Say your opponent has a
BEWD on the field. You flip Stein, you take the dragon
as the equipped card and you have a good chance of
winning. Throw in some Nimble Monogmas and you got
yourself a nice little combo…
I should point out, that you do not need the Black
Illusion Ritual to play this card, as you can take the
Relinquished directly out of your hand to fuse with
the Thousand Eyes Idol (which should also be in your
hand – lest you have a death wish)
I like this card – I like its effect and I think it
can turn the game around… unfortunately, its not
overly playable. (especially since you need so many
really rare cards to play it)
I give it a 2/5. Not easy to play, but well worth it
if you do
