@@SoeuBr1 If the Legendary Dragons/Knights become an archetype, I hope they make a retrain of Celtic Guardian for it, to reference how it was Obnoxious Celtic Guard that was tributed to activate Legend of Heart in the anime.

That's what I'm saying. So many people just laser focused on the "Brain Control searcher" part and completely missed the last effect's point. Even Konami knew BC is a shit card, so they give you a free way to use it and advance your plays at the same time since this boi is a tuner. Smh.
@@Nightbird-67tm So what deck is going to use this. Don't say punk because there's 0 reason to e tele this out over Ze Amin. If BC wasn't errated so poorly the whole "resteal" gimmick would've been a nice add on but as is it's the sole "good" thing about this card which just isn't it.
@@BlackBeartic229 I actually do think p.u.nk. will side this since it can still get to the level 8 with it, then into ze amin into combo. However, I think it will be meta dependent due to not being able to steal ed monsters
@furiousblueblade957 How can they get to the 8s with this when the deck only has 3s 8s and 11s (and a rank 8). I guess steal a fenrir or unicorn and make the punk synchro? But that's like one MU
Pay 800 LP, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that target until the End Phase but negate its effect unless that target can be Normal Summoned/Set.
@@justsightseeing1...but negate it's effects UNLESS* it can be... I think would serve better since the original errata was to single down to main deck monsters, so this way you can steal your opponents extra deck monsters but not use them.
This is an interesting tech in Kaiju heavy strats. A single lvl 8 Kaiju and E-tele can be an OTK. Kaiju your opp, summon Brain Controller. Steal back your Kaiju and maybe Kaiju again. Activate the lvl mod effect and make brain lvl 8. Make Number 97 and use the effect for number 100.
Yeah I love how flexible it sorta just pushes you into the synchro direction but it can do a lot of stupid things. It reminds me of the assault mode support from a few years ago but much more versatile
I actually think this is really good. Because it summons itself to the opponent's field, which means you always have a target for Brain Control, which then lets you Synchro climb. I think they intended this to be played in a Psychic pile with Hyper Psychic Blaster, which does piercing, but HPB requires a Psychic non-tuner so the Brain Control doesn't help too much besides clearing the board. Instead, Silvera is a generic Synchro that not only does double piercing, but gives it to any Spellcaster Illusion Synchro monster. 4400 damage by itself. So, in short, E-Tele + valid Brain Control target = 4400 damage and book of moon the field.
This would have been really badass back in the day. But then Konami decided they wanted to errata all the classics and their viability was neutered as a result.
If the magic card got its old effect, then it's going to be playable. But since Konami errata the card years ago, then there is no point on using it. Just use "Change of Heart", "Snatch Steal", Triple Tactical Talents" and "Mind Control" since all four of those can take any type of summoning monster on the field.
Snatch steal is much worse against any form of interruption, but yeah. We have change of heart and it rarely sees play even though its not nerfed and is much better to begin with
@undeadinside3571 Snatch Steal is pretty much a solid magic card to use if the opponent doesn't destroy or negate the activation. However, Change of Heart is the best choice for side decks. The point is that we need magic cards that can take *ANY* summoning and not just take a monster who is either normal or set. That monster is not playable because of the effect of Brain Control has an errata, which, like I said before, is not playable anymore.
@Order-Sol just an example, but ryzeal can chain detonator to make snatch steal do nothing. Doesnt work that way on change of heart, but brain control cant take detonator either because of the errata. Nobody is running more than 1 change of heart, if any at all, and its better in every situation. No cost, no condition, no target limitations. It doesnt even have to be face up. Still sees no play Edit: snatch steal can be searched by different cards, so i guess it has that. Its actual effect is just much worse though. Theyre all better than graydles though lol
@@JohnnyMacs19everything can go into links, but the xyz / synchro stuff is nice. Still not worth rinning IMO, since we have change of heart, which is not only not nerfed like crazy, but was better to begin with. Technically also searchable with TTT, because you KNOW your opponent will use effects on your turn if you can even use either card
That’s a cool thought, run this and Etele/one for one with that engine. Easy access to herald of the arc light and HT bait for a deck that doesn’t care about its normal summon maybe. Also Ken and gen turn on both Triple Tactics.
I still have my original spell card that’s says “select” a monster instead of target 🎯 old cards were broken wish it was this good now how it was back than
It should also read: You can also target monster that cannot be Normal Summoned/Set when you activate "Brain Control" (Quick Effect): You can pay 800 LP and send 1 "Brain Control" from your Hand or face-down field to the GY, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; take control of that target until the End Phase.
It would be okay in synchro spam decks that would have a going second strategy, but otherwise, not really. You wouldn't want to use your normal summon on this and the decks that use E-Tele have better targets than this.
Brain Control got a way to be searched but God forbid that we can search Eye of Timeaus
Call me crazy but it's about time the legendary dragons get support like a proper archtype
You are both not crazy! Definitely needs to happen.
@SoeuBr1 it would probably just be like fragrand loo
@@SoeuBr1not an archetype, but the other two dragons being integeral parts of blue and red eyes like united dragon? I can get behind that lol

"What are we gonna to today, Brain?"
"The same thing we always try to do: take control of your monsters."
Underrated comment 🔥
I miss that show 😢
You'll be surprised how few people I saw realized the whole point is to steal him back. Glad you understood.

I like that it's part of a theme where old, classic Spells become part of their own mini-archetypes.
Call of haunted is next
@@НиколаРанковићi hope youre right, because they power crept it with double hooking and nobody uses that anymore either
So they gave us a Brain Control searcher after making it next to pointless. Cool.

@@XYGamingRemedyG yes it was misstype lol . I meant like that, i edit the original comment
@justsightseeing1 "Normal Summoned/Set".
Yeah, it's still useless and not worth of playing it.
Just un-errata it. Change of heart is better and isnt banned or nerfed! Brain control wouldnt even see play with the original effect anymore
They should revert that errata.
Definitely! Change of heart is better and its not banned anymore, so why is brain control nerfed?

It's a 1 card mill engine with the Zombie Vampire: Stolen Monsters count as level 8s for its summon
Finally... Mekk Knight normal summon. The format is saved.

Manticore of smashing could search both fissure AND smashing ground. THIS WASTE OF A PACK SLOT HAS NO EXCUSE!

We cant ever search actual brain control though. The errata murdered it
It took around 5 Booster Packs to get another pack filler monster that searches an old school card.
The art looks interesting
Pleasee Konami make the green hair guy from Snatch Steal a monster card that adds it😂
I saw a Level 1 Psychic Tuner and I thought we were FINALLY gonna get some sorta card to replace Mind Master. I was gonna be happy as hell.
How long has master been banned what 10 plus years
Damn, cant steal ryzeal detonator

Nah, they should just un-nerf brain control. Change of heart was always better and its legal. Still sees no play
Ohhh Brain Control got a monster card, awsome lol
With that being said.
Gen the Diamond Tiger + e-tele. Hmm.
Oh it's a one for one target.....
#OhNo
#Anyway
Revert the Errata Konami
Here's a question.
If Brain Control is un-errata'd, would this card break it or it'll only be okay?
It would be okay in synchro spam decks that would have a going second strategy, but otherwise, not really. You wouldn't want to use your normal summon on this and the decks that use E-Tele have better targets than this.
Can set up for Hyper psychic blaster
Should have been able to get it from the GY.
Sad but playable
for assault mode decks
Which one of y'all asked for a Brain Control searcher in the year 2025?
Too bad Brain control is nerfed and is trash than what it used to be. Not worth it. 😢
Konami's dartboard of useless random pack filler support strikes again!!!!!!!!😐😐😐😐😐😐
Garbage
