Card Tips:System Down
- This card can be searched by "Triple Tactics Thrust", "Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic", and other generic searchers.
- Combo with "DNA Surgery" or "Clockwork Night" to turn all of your opponent's monsters into Machine, before activating this card.
- Combo with "Spell Economics" or "Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude", so that any Life Points will not be paid.
- "Soul Absorption" can essentially "cancel" out this card's cost, if at least 2 monsters are banished by this card's effect.
- While good against any Machine Deck in general (such as "Deskbot" and "Cyber Dragon"), this card is especially good against "Qli" Decks, since banishing prevents their Pendulum Monsters from returning to the Extra Deck.
Traditional Format[edit]
- If your opponent has a Machine Deck, this card can be used to banish their monsters, and then use "Exchange of the Spirit" so there are only non Machine monsters, Spells and Traps in their Deck. If there is a second "System Down" in your possession, the last of your opponent's Machine monsters can be banished, as well.
- Be careful; if your opponent has "Return from the Different Dimension", this card can easily backfire.
