Card Tips:Night Beam
- This card can be searched by "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic", and other generic searchers.
- Use this card over "Mystical Space Typhoon" for the purpose of getting an opponent's face-down Spells and Traps out of the way. Whereas using "Mystical Space Typhoon" risks your opponent simply activating the card it targeted in response (thus wasting your card), this card's last effect prevents that.
- In fact, this card can directly counter an opponent's Set "Mystical Space Typhoon".
- Note that this card's last line has a 'hole' where it only stops the target from being Chained directly to this card. For example, if you activate "Night Beam" while your opponent has multiple face-down Spells/Traps, they can activate some other card in response to "Night Beam", then activate the target in response to that other card, to get its effect through.
- This can at least reduce the number of unknown cards your opponent has, and can perhaps disrupt your opponent's strategy by forcing them to use that other card earlier than they intended.
- This has become more prominent as of the Link era and its plethora of Quick monster effects to take advantage of the 'hole' without losing cards on the field, making this card much less useful.
- You can use this card to augment the effect of "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" to help clear your opponent's field of Spells/Traps.
