Stats:
Widespread Ruin is a plain Trap card. Yeah… this is
where my way of “formatting” my reviews fall apart,
since I have to explain what it does to evaluate
whether or not it would be better as a different kind
of card. :-P
Effect(s):
When your opponent attacks, you can activate this card
to destroy their strongest monster. Note that this
doesn’t negate the attack or anything, unless the
strongest monster is attacking. So when Don
Zaloog attacks, you can
activate this… and hit a Spear Dragon that already
attacked and has since shifted to DEF position. =/
Note that you must activate in response to an attack,
so any Spell/Trap removal used on this will destroy it
without a care.
Uses/Combinations:
Rush Recklessly to try and make sure the right monster
gets destroyed-chain it to Widespread Ruin to make
sure you nuke that stupid Don
Zaloog instead of much less problematic Slate
Warrior. Of course, a GAF in DEF mode still ruins
this.
Ratings
Casual:
2/5-Maybe in an all Trap deck (or no monster).
Tournament:
1.5/5-All Trap decks (or just no Monster) have never
worked in my opinion.
Limited:
N/A-If you do somehow convince people to draft or
whatever from promos, then
it is a good pull here: outside of starter deck based
events, it’s hard to pull a lot of Spell/Trap
removal. Therefore this should work as a safeguard
against any one good monster your opponent gets on the
field.
Summary
If
Waboku and Mirror Force
aren’t enough, then add Torrential Tribute and/or
Magic Cylinder. If those still aren’t enough, or you
can’t get them, try Sakuretsu
Armor. Only after all of that should you consider
running this. Good concept, but it proves
impractical: one-for-one deals only work when they are
flexible and/or controllable. Heck, this seems weaker
than Raigeki Break to me: two-for-one that can chain
to just about anything and nuke anything on the field
is much better. Maybe if it negated the attack and
destroyed the highest attack monster, it might be
passable. |
