Sinister Serpent →Used Deck

9 points before errata. If you discard this card from your hand with 《Raigeki Break》and 《Phoenix Wing Wind Blast》on standby, you can return and reuse the cost. However, since the effect activation is slow and it doesn't have as many applications as Treeborn Frog, there have been many voices questioning the ban.
It was errataed after that, but it was nerfed horribly. First of all, with the same name turn 1, I couldn't do bad things like Enecon Treeborn Frog. Not only that, but he has a restriction that he is excluded from GY, so it is hopeless to operate as an infinite cost. More and more, I had a hard time beating Treeborn Frog.
It's a complete digression, but if it's a Pokemon card, he has an upward compatibility of this card that returns GY's self to the hand during the main phase. The text says "once per turn", but since there is no turn 1 with the same name, it's a Yu-Gi-Oh gabba that can be returned many times.

Comprehensive evaluation: There is a possibility that it will be useful depending on the card to be combined.
It is possible to collect it immediately by placing it on his GY with 《Hand Destruction》, 《Unified Front》and 《Alien Shocktrooper M-Frame》during the standby phase.
In addition, it can be collected immediately after being used for the cost of the triggered instant effect of Ghostrick Dullahan of rank 1.
If there is a possibility of using it, it is Dana.
It may be possible to pile it down with the effect of Jormungandr, Generaider Boss of Eternity, remove it and collect it immediately, and use it as a draw source, but again, once per turn, no during the standby phase.

It was designated as a restricted card for Super Express, and was banned for a long time until it was errataed.
Speaking of Reptile, if he had a GY effect, it could be said that this monster was the only card before the appearance of Snake Rain.
At the time, he had a card like 《Painful Choice》that far surpassed Snake Rain as a GY manure card...
It was still a monster with a general purpose and strong effect, and only the race was a Reptile monster, but with the name Turn 1, it was reduced to a mediocre card with a slow-acting add + 1.
Furthermore, if you use this card as a cost or send it to GY immediately after collecting it, you will have the disadvantage of being removed from GY during the opponent's end phase before your next standby phase comes. However, just because it was a useless demerit, it is now possible to stack 3 copies, it is not possible to remove all cards, and it is a demerit that can be avoided with a little ingenuity. .
Isn't there a fatal impediment to operation? The more I think about it, whether or not it has a disadvantage, it's really slow and subtle to have only one card in your standby once, so if you can use this kind of effect once during the duel. I think it's also a manifestation of low expectations for this card, which is said to be a good character.

It used to be a typical hand cost, but due to errata, it can no longer be used infinitely as a cost.
However, in this high-speed environment, it is unlikely that the opportunity to activate it will come around 3 or 4 times.
Rather than saying, "Returning to errata has damaged its reputation," it might be closer to saying, "Returning revealed that it was an outdated product."

Terrible Errata Alongside Brainwashing and Goyo Weakened ex-banned cards
At least it should be named turn 1, but for some reason it has the incomprehensible disadvantage of being excluded from GY on the next turn if you use the recovery effect.
Cards that can be collected from GY every turn have been printed more and more after the errata of this card, so it may be said that it was sacrificed for later card design.

In a high-speed environment, it feels slow with just one Standby Phase Salvage. However, I even added the disadvantage of excluding what was in the end phase. It's not something you can't dodge, but the need to protect a vanilla card alone isn't enough...

Due to errata, it was basically a one-time recall. Now that the speed is increasing, it feels slow even in standby mode, and there are plenty of GY exclusion methods, so it's not an environment that can be used many times.
I don't think it's an effect worth thinking about.
I honestly think it would have been better without the errata.

Errata now takes time to use as an infinite cost
Is there a possibility if it can be used even considering the exclusion of disadvantages ...?

Although heavily weakened by errataed serpents.
To be frank, it's enough if you can salvage it just once (you can use it twice as a hand cost at all.) Recovery is slow in the standby phase, so there aren't many situations where you can actually use it many times, so even if he's errataed, it's not that bad of usability.
《Volcanic Shell》is certainly good as a hand cost and you can get Volcanic's support, so it's an excellent card in its own right. Since you have to insert 3 cards with the same name over there, the deck is bulky and it's the worst if you have a lot of cards in your hand. You can search this with Kingle. Also, since it's WATER, you can send him to GY with Genex Undine and collect it directly.

A former banned card snake that has been greatly weakened by errata and sadly returned to unlimited.
Originally, it was a Infinite Cards cost that could be used every turn, but after the errata, if you used it normally, you would have to banish Snake on the next turn, so either put in 3 copies or use only 1 copy after 1 turn. likely to become It's almost impossible to put something like that on an off-theme card, so I had to see it as an example of poorly done errata, although it's harsh.

It has been reinstated after an errata, but the effect is more difficult to use than before. Perhaps it's the effect of being severely weakened, and he's venting his frustration by wrapping around Upstart Goblin.

A snake whose method of errata was so bad that it became "This is Barrett, isn't it?"
Even if you knock down 3 cards with Snake Rain, you can only salvage 1 card with a one-time disposable hand cost, and there is no stats or anything to look at, so if you just want the cost and want to use it, you won't use it.
To be honest, I thought it would be okay even if it was a turn 1 errata with the same name, but it had the disadvantage of being excluded, so it became a bad example of an errata that I don't know who would get it. I can't help but feel that it would have been happier for the person in question to remain banned.
Or rather, I'm errataing it with the intention of reducing the number of banned cards (maybe), but it seems that the cards from the 9th generation have banned cards like an idiot...

Former Infinite Cost Hebi-san. (Current status) GY Fertilizer is (only) a good customer of reptiles.
Now that Omega Sun exists, the exclusion downside isn't too heavy. I don't have it, but I could have solved it if I changed the name to Turn 1.
I don't think there was a need to errata separately.
If he had been released in his prime, he might have been "no ↑ hoooo ↑" at an infinite cost, but it seems that he was able to return without any errata, perhaps because he had become paralyzed.
It's a pretty bad card.

If you have such a heavy disadvantage, why not Barrett? That's my impression after the errata.
President of the Society of Errata Victims.

It is one of the former banned cards and has a self-salvage effect.
Due to errata, after being sent to his GY after salvage, it self-excludes during the opponent's end phase, so I'd like to use it together with 《Imperial Iron Wall》.

A very useful card. I am indebted to the world trance-like Deck aiming for infinite skip. Once you start skipping with a stealer, you are promised a maximum of 5 skips that do not reduce your hand at the cost of normal summon rights.
You're supposed to be expelled in the next end phase?
You idiot. There is no such thing as your end phase!
Edge Imp Scissor doesn't even reduce deck, so it's a true infinite skip.

Former Banned Card. A snake that revives over and over again. A man who revives again and again. A man who becomes a hand cost.
You can send him to GY from the field or from your hand, so if he was in GY, he could return to your hand immediately.
At the time when there was little penetration, even if it was put out on the wall, it was that. What's more, since it can be revived as many times as you want, you can do whatever you want, such as becoming a wall or costing your hand.
As expected, it was errataed and the addition of "banish this card in his GY during the next opponent's end phase" made it difficult to reuse.

Former Mugen Cost-san, who has returned after weakening Errata.
If you use the self-recovery effect, you will no longer be able to use infinite hand cost due to thought stoppage due to the disadvantage that he will be excluded if he is in GY at the next opponent's end.
Before that, though, he won't be removed from GY and will be salvageable.
Since they are reptiles, you can use Snake Rain to drop them into his GY, and even if they are weakened, they are still practical.
Some people are comparing it with 《Shaddoll Beast》, but Shadobi, which can only deal with his GY loss due to effects, and Kirasune, which can be recovered regardless of the cost, are not comparable.
It's a completely different card.

During your opponent's next end phase, select and banish 1 of his GY's 《Sinister Serpent》.
↑ It's a pity that this effect drags down, so I can't say "this is the hand cost".
Thunder Dragon, which goes the royal road, is fine, but I still want to draw, so I'd rather use Shaddoll Beast

Rating fix.
Drop 3 cards with Snake Rain in the Reptilianne Deck
Reptilianne still leaves the trail as the cost of Medusa.

Isn't it possible to return to the limit? That's what I've been told for a long time, but this card was returned with a strange errata. As a result, usability has deteriorated significantly. It's too bad considering the banned cards that were also errataed were too brutal.

It's been said for a long time that it's okay to return to restrictions, but didn't it come true to get out of prison with a beautiful body?
If you salvage and use it immediately, it will be excluded, making usability significantly worse.
It might be better to treat it as a card that can be salvaged only once.
Wol or Nikka Barrett will be a strong rival, but I want to differentiate myself by making full use of support such as Snake Rain and 《King of the Feral Imps》.

A card with a rather tight errata. Usage will be very different
If you use it as a cost during the Standby Phase of your turn, immediately return it to your hand, and keep it until the end of your opponent's turn, you will be able to defeat the exclusion demerit for the time being.
A card that could do that? 《Sealing Ceremony of Suiton》or something like 《Sealing Ceremony of Suiton》?
Or is it purely for stabilizing the number of cards in a deck like Osiris where "number of cards in hand" is important?
Of course, there are also things like really using up or returning the banished Killer Snake to his GY.
In any case, it doesn't seem to be as amazing as it was in its heyday

"Treeborn Frog" returned to the hand.
Compatible with "King of the Feral Imps" and "Oshaleon" in terms of race, and "Where Arf Thou?" in terms of level. Also, with this card, 《Foolish Burial》, 《Genex Undine》and 《Snake Rain》are also converted from his GY to pseudo search. With [Mermail], the WATER cost is useful, and there are a wide variety of ways to use it, such as "Raigeki Break" for universal removal, "Abyss Soldier" for bounce, "Monster Reincarnation" for GY recovery, and "Karma Cut" and "Dark Core" for exclusion.
On the other hand, since the collection timing is limited, if you rely too much on this effect, there is a risk that you will not be able to raise the cost in time. If it's a hand cost, it can be fully rotated by hitting the standby phase repeatedly, but in many cases it is more effective to use removal cards such as "Sambre" and "Karma Cut" as well as permission cards during the opponent's turn. The familiar 《D. D. "Crow" and even "Rhapsody", which has excellent basic specs, appeared. It seems that his staying at GY has become more difficult than when he was active, and he is steadily walking the road to his return.
As an aside, the English name "sinister" seems to have the meaning of "evil" or "becoming a disaster". The Japanese name "killer" gives off a rather violent impression, like "killer" or "killer," but the word "killer" on this card has a more conceptual connotation. Maybe. This kind of expression has something in common with his own nature that he can steadily gain an advantage even with low status.

just come back. but powerful.
There are many ways to use it. You can simply use it as a wall, or even with a hand cost. If you're at GY, you'll be fine, so you can do anything, including synchros.
Since he is a reptilian, he is easy to send to GY, so no more. can't.

A broken card that eliminates the concept of hand cost. There are quite a few countermeasures, but it can be said that the power of a single card is too great. We won't be back in the first place.

Infinite hand cost
More even no less
Come to think of it, Jonouchi-san's Strak
It has been out of print since it was reprinted.

Highest hand cost.
No matter how slow it is on standby, there's no way this card is weak. There are also snake lanes.
There is a slight possibility that it will be revived in the Kaibyaku frame soon...?

It's too late to collect the standby phase, so it's okay to return now, right?
Do not do that

The strongest snake in terms of hand cost. Is it the main reason why it was banned because it can be revived many times?
I don't think he'll come back because he can hit as many things as he wants...

Whether it's a hand or a field, he's a deck, but he's the main culprit who created the situation of one card <<< LP due to the ease of being sent back to GY.
However, he was released after limiting it to once per turn and excluding his GY's Kirasune at the end of the opponent's end.
Even though it takes a lot of effort to make it infinite cost, there are many people who want to make Snake Rain and other means of dropping it cost as well.
Although it's not good, it's weakened to the extent that it can't be compared to before...

Annoying snake. Before Errata, it was the best hand cost card in Yu-Gi-Oh history.
During the Standby Phase, he has an effect that allows him to collect GY into his hand, and in exchange for that, he has the effect of banishing Sinister Serpent from his GY during the opponent's next End Phase.
Due to errata, the infinite cost is no longer possible, making it almost a one-time self-collection. Considering the existence of excellent juniors such as Barrett, the position and weakening are quite severe among the errata group.
Currently, it can be handled without restriction, but it is somewhat difficult unless you send it to his GY all at once. There is a card that works well with 《Snake Rain》, but...

"The Sinister Serpent effect can only be activated once per turn."
Why doesn't Konmai try to errata this guy when he can recover just by doing this?

Following the example of DDB, the effect of 《Sinister Serpent》can only be activated once per turn. You can imagine what would happen if we added >

I heard that in order to suppress Yatagarasu, this was relaxed to a restricted card and the field became even rougher.
I never thought that he, who is a snake, would be in the position of a mongoose...

Excellent compatibility with the second half of 《Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru》. However, it is slow to activate during the standby phase, and his deck will be limited due to restrictions.

It's not very strong these days.
I hope you can come back soon.
