Thursday:
Trap of Board Eraser/Chalkboard Eraser Trap:
PGD-099-Super Rare
Trap Card: Counter Trap
Effect: When an effect that inflicts damage to Life
Points is activated (except Battle Damage), negate the
damage to your Life Points. Your opponent then selects
1 card from his/her hand and discards it to his/her
Graveyard.
This is somewhat of a too situational counter trap
card, since most people, at least in my area don't
play many burn like cards anymore. The only ones I can
see being in most deck would be Magic Cylinder, RoD,
CeaseFire, Cannon Solder, Lava Golem and there's
always the chance of someone having a Fire Princess
Deck but at most this card will only stop one instance
of damage and fore the opponent to discard 1 card. So
the best bet would be to use ToBE in a Hand
Destruction Deck to get its full potential going and
making it more as a key to getting a Yata-Lock going.
Another part of this card that may cause it too NOT
make as much of an impact as expected would be that
the discarding it's not random, so the opponent can
choose to discard a Sinister Serpent, Marie The Fallen
One, or a high level monster to reborn. It would also
suck to end up using it to stop a good amount of
damage but the opponent has no cards in their hands.
I like the idea of this card, but haven't tried one
out yet or seen it used, so I can't really say how
useful it is at the moment. I can list all the cards
that I can find that work with/against this card
though:

Amazon Archer

WHEN EITHER PLAYER USES:

I'm sure there may be more, but allot of them never
see the light of day. Many new cards will be coming
out soon that can make this card more playable though,
like Wave Motion Cannon that can do X000 of damage
depending on how long it's been out, so ToBE will take
allot of beatings but it will also help erase the
opponents hand.

ArtWork: 2.5 - This is a very childish prank going on
here man, they edit other cards to not "offend"
people, but now kids are going to get ideas to put
things over their door to fall on people. Well...
maybe not. |

Trap of Board Eraser, 9/4/03:
Barrel Behind the Door's little brother (speaking of
which, the Immortal of Thunder combo doesn't work. I
checked). Instead of damage, you get to discard a
card. This card would be nice for a hand-d/yata-lock
deck since nearly every card has at least two cards
that deal direct damage (cylinder, ring). A card that
makes two staples near-useless AND discards a card is
good....
There don't seem to be any actual combos with this
card, aside from cushioning yourself from huge blasts
of direct damage or to make Graverobber a half-decent
card...
The problem is, this isn't a random discard. Your
opponent chooses. So he could discard a card that
isn't going to help him at all (NoC against an
offensive deck) so there's no loss, or he could
discard a heavy hitter that he can revive. That's bad.
Normally, though, you'll force your opponent to
discard a decent card.
This is also a nice sidedeck card for when you meet
burners. Near-useless against Fire Princess burners,
but the big-hit ones (the ones that use Ceasefire,
Just Desserts when you have a lot of monsters, for
example) are going to be dangerous without this card
or Barrel.

Thursday 09/04/03: Trap of Board Eraser
PGD-099
Counter Trap
When an effect that inflicts damage to Life Points is
activated (except Battle Damage), negate the damage to
your Life Points. Your opponent then selects 1 card
from his/her hand and discards it to his/her
Graveyard.
Barrel Behind the Door's brother. On the surface, it
seems like a pretty cool card but it's pretty hard to
maximize the effect.
The best part of this is that it negates effect damage
so it'll save you from all those nasty Ceasefires,
Rings of Destruction and Magic Cylinders among other
things. It also smacks your opponent around by making
them discard a card from their hand. Unfortunately,
your opponent gets to choose so if they have Sinister
Serpent, it won't hurt them. Even worse would be if
they discard a Jinzo or some other powerhouse and
reborn it.
There's not too many ways to combo this card. I
suppose if you gave your opponent a Lava Golem, stole
it back then activated a Trap of Board Eraser, you end
up attacking for 3000 damage and making them discard a
card. The big difference between this and Barrel
Behind the Door is that you won't hesitate to use this
on cards that deal a small amount of effect damage (ie
Dark Snake Syndrome in turn 1 or 2) since the discard
is really what you're looking for. Barrel is a bit of
a waste to use on anything that deals less than 1000
damage. Even with the discard, it's 1 for 1 so there's
no card advantage. If the discard was random, it would
be a lot more playable.
Anyways, this can be a fun card, especially if you're
using Dark Snake Syndrome but I don't think this is
very tourney worthy. You negate effect damage and the
discard won't always benefit you.
