Ever since yugioh started there have been cards and decks that have abused the graveyard, for that reason I have made this article to show that D.D.Crow is not the only card that you can side against decks like that.



D.D.Crow, "During either player's turn, you can discard this card to the Graveyard to remove from play 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard". This card has been around since the Strike of Neos, three years ago,and since then it has been one of the best cards to help against that abuse of the graveyard, until these new cards came out.



Hero's Rule 2, "Negate the activation of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that targets a card(s) in the Graveyard, and destroy it". This card came out about 2 years ago in the Duelist Pack 6: Jaden Yuki 3, noone paid much attention to this card but I think its a card that has potential



Crevice into the Different Dimension, "Declare 1 Attribute and select a total of 2 monsters with that Attribute from both Graveyards. Remove those monsters from play".This is a card that just came out in the new Shining Darkness, this card shows great potential too

Advantages

D.D.Crow, its a monster that can be searched with sangan, Your opponent wont know u have it until it actually comes out.If you run a deck that mills itself you can send this back to your deck with pot of avarice and reuse it.It removes from play any card in the grave, like a treeborn frog

Hero's Rule 2, its a counter trap so there arent many things that can be chained to it, except for other counter traps, It also destroys the card that targets so your opponent cant use it again.

Crevice into the Different Dimension, It can be chained to spell or trap destruction, It does twice the work that D.D.Crow does

Disadvantages

D.D.Crow, Hero's Rule 2 can be chained to it.It can be negated by a chariot or a divine wrath. You cannot activate this card during the damage step

Hero's Rule 2, Your opponent can destroy it before you get a chance to use it

Crevice into the Different Dimension, it cannot be activated during damage step, you need to have exactly 2 monsters of that attribute, if there is only one, you cannot activate it, It doesnt remove Spells and Traps like Gladiator Beast War Chariot

There are many cards that this Side Deck Cards can help you against, There are even some people that main D.D.Crow which in my opinion is not such a bad idea. I encourage people to put this cards in their side deck and see which ones they like the most.

Pretty good article tino.Also for the decks that don't use graveyard that much Dimensional Fissure will help em a lot

I think that "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer" is a good card as well:

Quote:

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, you can remove from play up to 2 Monster Cards from their Graveyard. Your opponent cannot remove from play any cards in either Graveyard.

It is a DARK Spellcaster LV4 with ATK/DEF = 1800/700
