If you play rogue, it is a Side Deck choice, but not a guarantee in a playset. If you play a meta deck this card may see play in the Main Deck. In all, Designator is not a card to shotgun immediately, it is more of a card to save and play in a critical moment that will pay off big for you. Designator sees its biggest blow-off in mirror matches where it covers almost the entirety of the opponent’s deck. This is a card you are using against popular cards splashed into all decks like hand traps and counter traps. Despite how this can be used offensively and defensively, Designator is still a -1 on your side and you have to have a copy of that card, so it isn’t something that can cover a wide amount of the card pool. It negates the card and locks out any other copies for the rest of the turn, including any active on the field. Quick-Play to counter any card your opponent can play (minus Counter Traps) as long as you can banish a copy of your own. One of the most hyped cards of the year, Designator is heavily used in the Side Deck and in some archetypes used in a playset in the Main Deck. I’d especially keep an eye on this if we ever, for whatever reason Konami feels like, to bring back Maxx “C” to the TCG.Īrt: 4/5 Still nice to see the knight from Nobleman of Crossout. Even if Crossout isn’t as big here as it is in Japan, it is still a card to respect cause it can stop your certain interruptions from affecting the opponent, or worse your important combo pieces in a mirror match. This also has the benefit of hitting Spells and Traps, which is good against some staples or in a mirror match, similar to some monsters your opponent would use on their turn after you set this. Either way, negating an Ash Blossom or Nibiru that would really hurt your combos is nice to get a hold of, especially since Called by the Grave is at 1 and can’t hit a Nibiru. So the best use that comes to mind might be hand traps, which might be why this isn’t as popular over here because we don’t have Maxx “C” and the format warping power that has to where this would be necessary in Japan.

From the 2021 Mega Tins, we have Crossout Designator.Ĭrossout is a Quick-Play Spell that lets you declare a card name and banish said card from the negate to negate its effects and the effects of all cards with the same name for the turn. Thank you.We enter week two of the top 10 cards with a card that, while might not have taken over the format by storm like we would of expected, is still a really good card.

With only a few common cards across the decks, Crossout Designator would be better off in the Side Deck and brought in only for the mirror match.Ĭalled by the Grave is currently prioritised due to its broader application. Orcust relies on Knightmare Mermaid‘s effect resolving successfully, and having 6 copies of ‘hand trap’ negation ensures that.īut for the other decks, Crossout Designator has a narrow application in the current diverse metagame, where many different theme decks are running their own cards.

Orcust could afford to run the full 3 copies as any additional copies drawn would simply become discard fodder for Knightmare Mermaid and Jet Synchron. This makes it difficult for many decks to run the full 3 copies in the Main Deck.

While it is a strong card, the hard once-per-turn clause meant that drawing multiple copies would likely result in a bricked opening hand. The talk of the town for this week is definitely Crossout Designator.
