Normal Trap Card
Destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card on the field. The controller of the destroyed card can then Set 1 Spell or Trap Card from their hand. If this set card is destroyed, you can destroy 1 face-up card on the field.
This has been a rather overlooked card which will be assessible to everyone when the Yugioh 5D's 2010 Starter Deck come outs.
It has an effect very similar to Dust Tornado, but is more specific in that it can only destroy face-up Spell or Trap cards. However, this will destroy spell or trap cards on EITHER side of the field.
This card's first effect shines strongly when used in conjuction with Geartown. Although this may be the only combo I can think of, Big Tornado of the Wasteland has the extra benefit of destroying only one card at a time.
Since two Dust Tornados in the Side Deck may not be enough S/T destruction, Tornado of the Wasteland adds more destruction.
The main use of this card would probably be in destroying Dimensional Eatos matchups, as Skill Drain, Dimensional Fissure, and Macro Cosmos will leave the field as soon as they're up.
However, I like this card's second effect more than the first one.
When this set card is destroyed, you CAN destroy one face-up monster on the field. This means that this card is very useful in baiting out Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, and other forms of S/T destruction from monsters such as Dark Armed Dragon and Arcanite Magician.
You can even destroy your own set Tornado with Heavy Storm, clearing the opponent's backrow as well as one of their monsters.
This card has strong psychological effects on the opponent, so I hope this card will see more playtesting.
That's all for now.
Until the next post.
