Pollinosis...very short, and very simple, and a card
you might as well be playing if you are playing
Plants.
Plants are trying to establish themselves as a solid
Deck, and they just aren't quite there yet. Anyway,
you Tribute a Plant-type monster and you negate the
activation of a Magic or Trap Card, OR the Normal OR
Special Summon of a Monster.
It's a beautiful destruction card, to be honest,
again, you should be playing one or two if you're
playing Plants.

Well, this is the Plant equivalent of Mind Over
Matter. This one is far better tho. You can negate
everything that Solemn Judgment does except for flip
summons and all at the cost of a Plant on the field.
It gets betetr in that you can tribute ANY PLant,
meaning your opponent's are fair game as well.
This means that all of those tokens produced by
Black Garden are fair game to tribute for your own
Pollinosis. This is a format where deconstructing
key plays by opponents means that you can have a
clear shot at their lifpoints. Pollinosis produces
that in spades and can even be called a free
activation due to Black Garden and your opponent's
field.
There is a problem in that often you will not want
to tribute a Plant to activate it, as Tytannial or
Gigaplant ar emore useful on the field than in the
graveyard.

Todayʼs card up for review is Pollinosis. It
should be obvious how broken this card is. If you
use Plants, you run 3 copies of this card without
question. Plant decks are using Black Garden, so you
will certainly have monsters to sack off for its
effect. Simply put, why not run 6 Solemn Judgments
in your deck?

Just like Mind over Matter as the Solemn Judgment
for Psychics, Pollinosis is the Solemn for Plants.
With the release of Dandylion, this card will stop
the opponent from doing anything. Tribute the
Dandylion, negate something and plus get two more
plant tokens to tribute for. Black Garden is another
help to the cost of Pollinosis. They summon
sometihng and you get a free Solemn pretty much.
This card should be ran in threes in every plant
deck.
