We finish the week with Synchro Ejection, which almost seems worth it.  It’s a Normal Trap, so it enjoys being Spell Speed 2 and thus can surprise your opponent at an inconvenient moment on their turn.  Unfortunately that also means you’ll have to set it and have it survive until the point you want to activate it.  It targets (could be an issue) and removes one face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls, and then they draw a card. 

Okay, quick and simple: I like that it isn’t mindless generic removal that punishes a player for investing in something more than the biggest, easiest monster or a card that can instantly recoup investment costs.  However, those cards are still legal so that instantly hurts this one.  Synchro Monsters are also a fairly specific target, so running a Trap just to counter them isn’t too good an idea, especially when many players will find something generic like Compulsive Evacuation Device just as devastating. 

Still, I like where they are going and if we see enough cards with “opponent draws a card” effects, we could get a nice Appropriate deck going.

I’d also like to add I’ll be selling quite a bit of my soon-to-be-former possessions on eBay.  You can take a look here at my first auction if you’re interested in some SNES games.  Just a reminder, Pojo is in no way responsible for this and was merely kind enough to let me mention the auction here. ;)

Synchro Ejection
Normal Trap

"Select 1 Face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls and remove it from play. Your opponent draws 1 card."

In Yugioh (And most card games in general,) there are a few unwritten rules that a card must follow to be competitive. Rules like, "If this card causes you to lose card advantage, it must win you the game, or be game breaking," and "It must be able to be used in multiple situations." Synchro Ejection does not follow either of those "rules." It has a very specific activation requirement (Opponent must have a face-up synchro monster on the field) and it causes you to give your opponent a free card (You lose Synchro Ejection, they lose their monster, and they draw a card. -1 for you.) The best case scenario, card advantage wise, is for your opponent to use a card to flip the targeted monster face down, or to remove it from the field altogether, causing an even break in card advantage. (Synchro Ejection will not resolve if the targeted monster is no longer face up on the field, so you traded your Synchro Ejection for a card that saves said Synchro monster.) There are simply better cards that do this job, but aren't so picky on activation requirements so they're easier to play, AND don't give your opponent card advantage. Compulsory Evacuation Device is a good example.
