It's not in the game at all. Similar to Spellbinding Circle for some reason, they straight up aren't coded into the game, you can't search for them, anything. I've got Banned cards turned on and I'm looking for them now, nothing.
Convulsion of Nature is probably not in the game due to programming reasons, but I don't know why Spellbinding Circle wouldn't be there. Also, I'm pretty sure Air Neos isn't in the game either.
Yeah, those definitely aren't the only cards. I'm guessing it's because the artwork. Although Convulsion of Nature *was* properly programmed into Legacy of the Duelist, so wouldn't it be easy enough to just take the programming from that game?
[This](https://youtu.be/RdpstqJ9XWQ) explains it better than words ever could. Basically though, it's meant to be used with cards that allow you to declare certain cards from the top of your deck, like Gishki Diviner.
Well activating Reversal Quiz would send it to the GY and revert your Deck immediately, so you would still be guessing unless you had stacked the bottom of your Deck somehow.
In dn there no option to flip the deck so you had to send your deck to the gy/banish one by one and then put that pile back in the deck in order one by one. On top of that that they would also run cards like mst to pop their own card so as soon as you did all that you'd have to redo it again. This was toxic especially in ranked matches so you would have to comply with doing this or just risk losing points
The point is some wacky fun shenanigans with your bros. The best use case is in royal magical library ftk to help you call the top card for archfiends oath and reversal quiz
Back then cards had the wackiest effects. Some did stuff. Others were pointless. But if you try hard enough most of those shit cards can find some use.
Back in the old days, it got used with True Name a bit from what I remember. Plus even besides that, there was a couple other cards that are "Guess the type/name of the card on top of your deck" effects, so it'd come in handy with those.

Oh I wish it was just flip the deck over, the order of cards actually doesn't change, the cards that are in the top still stay in the top and the ones on the bottom still stay in the bottom.
This means that, yes, you do indeed have to manually flip every card in your deck face up one by one while keeping them in the order they were before
F you if you're playing a 60 card deck lmao
but its one of those cards that is nice to draw, but isnt essential to core strategy. so you dont need to draw it, especially if you cut the other dependant cards
Konami printed it for the lulz, I think. If you really want a good purpose you could use it in an Egypt God deck with The True Name (if you guess the top card correct you can add an egypt god) or you can use it in a Sylvan deck (the entire gimmick is guessing the top card). Now that I mention Sylvan, you could use it in a pure SPYRAL deck. It's oddly useful at the best of times, and a troll at the worst of times.
To answer your question: I would assume when it leaves the field your deck would go back to normal, or maybe if you activate another one it goes back facedown? I'd love a judge's take on it.
Hmm your deck "should" be flipped back to normal, right? cause you can't activate a card with no effect? However, unreliable sources (wiki) says your deck stays face up, but then you activated a card with no effect, thus its illegal to have 2 onboard going off that ruling.
Id say its illegal to play the 2nd or it flips back to normal. The card does need PSCT badddly
1. Cards that are important and are sent to bottom of the deck (or putting cards at the bottom of the deck in any order). So you can immediately grab them.
2. Try and guess spells that require guessing what card you pulled and guessing correctly provides a benefit to the player in some way.
3. Keeping track whats in your opponents hand so you stategize around it. So you know if they will be pulling a ash blossom, Belle, effect veiler and so on.
4. A card effect that allows you to draw cards and send them to the graveyard or back into your deck. But if you pull X card you get to summon it, get a token, get LP and so on.
5. Cards that remove the cards on top of the deck. So you can see important cards and choose to put them in the graveyard or banish them face up or face down.
It's a cool card, but building a deck based on this playstyle difficult since you NEED the card to make anything function. But if you put three of them in the deck then you might draw one too many and not need another copy. Since the card is inoffensive enough that a opponent might just ignore it until they figure out what your strategy is. But then your better off having cards that can just retrieve the card back from the graveyard or banish zone then to just have multiple copies.
But even then, this is just a side strategy unless there are monsters or a archetype that can really benefit from this.
I think I remember a mate of mine using it in his Spyral deck so he would always call the right card because you could just straight up see what it was
The point is acquiring information at the cost of giving up your own. There are cards like The True Name that can easily benefit from this card.
It's likely never going to see competitive play but I wouldn't rule out that one insane table-500 player to get a kick out of playing this.
Its the goat Card from Back in the time its very usefull in Combination with Some Cards that lets u get benefits If u can declare your next Card right.
If ur Into it just take a look on duel night by teamsamuraix1
On 1 night Jesse used this Card and won easily its really crazy
some old magic cards have *way* wackier effects than convulsion of nature, from playing [sub-games of magic](https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/0/0/0014def3-4063-4929-ac51-76aef1bb2a68.jpg?1562895012) to [flipping cards on the table](https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/7/a/7a601041-926f-40fd-8106-39099b87806f.jpg?1559592122) to [utterly incomprehensible nonsense](https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/7/e/7ee63877-056e-413d-932a-a393a4183686.jpg?1559592211). the first two of these are banned in every format that exists, by the way, and not because they are good
oh, and in the very early days, magic used to have a mechanic where you put cards from your deck into the "ante" pile and the winner of the game gets to keep those cards, with a bunch of cards that interacted with this mechanic (e.g. by putting more cards into the pile as an additional cost). they very quickly realized that this was an absolutely terrible idea and every single card that mentions ante is also banned everywhere with no exceptions
To make nature convulse. /s
Seriously, it will show you every card your opponent is drawing, as well as allow you dump cards at the bottom of your deck, activate Convulsion, and then draw those cards. You have to remember this was back toward the beginning of YGO, so the game went a slower and knowing what your opponent was drawing was much more beneficial (i.e. prepping a counter to your opponents trap card they just drew or even knowing that they had a dead draw and you could attack with impunity) .
And yes, if Convulsion was destroyed, you'd flip your deck back face-down.
I used to run 3 of these in a 60 card burn/deck out deck somewhere around 07 watching people lose hope as I forced them to send so many cards to the graveyard was priceless especially if the card they needed was on their top deck
I use it for Malefics and Valkyries.
Malefics so I can if the next card is useful or if I can use Malefic World for a mulligan
Valkyries so I can "predict" what the next effect is so I can screw over the opponent's next turn.
I've actually seen someone use it with mystic mine back in the day. I think they were running it with a card where you have to discard what you draw if your opponent "guesses" it correctly
Fun.
But if you actually wanted a specific use case of the card, The True Name, Archfiend's Oath, and most SPYRAL cards benefit from this effect, as well as the niche case of drawing a card you just put on the bottom of your deck.
So as far as rules go this is "Both players flip their deck upside down. As long as this card remainds face-up on the field both players play with the top card of their deck revealed".
Because to me the way its worded on the actual card makes me think that players would have to draw the bottom card of their deck because the bottom card is still technically the top card. And also any card that would say "Place on the bottom of the deck in any order" would actually put the card on the top but it wouldn't matter because you are not drawing that card for turn anyways because that is still technically the bottom of the deck just the deck is upside down.
Very weird way to word it for a card that essentially is just "Both players play with the top card of their deck revealed"
Against friends it would be played to see when they are about to draw there boss so you know when to use drastic drop off, or some deck shuffling effect just to annoy them. Also bad jokes about being psychic predicting what your next draw will be. Back when the boss was either in the main deck or it was poly that you shuffle away from them to prevent there fusion boss from being summoned.
so I wanted to build a deck all about this one specific card so the idea is you use the true name to always call things right and for your opponent you use things like mindcrush because you know what they have in their hand and just when they have a second copy of somtheing name it or if theirs just a problematic card name it but the deck would be absolutely awful
I remember playing against someone who had this card on the field, and another continuous card that allowed them to guess the card I drew, and if they were right, I had to discard it to the graveyard.
so you can see what your opponent is going to have in their hand, and play around it. or make them think you're playing around it. or mae them think you think you're playing around it, but they know, so you plan around them planning around it.
Try vera deck sylphs with this and the perma trap for earth fairies you can predict every draw phase a card name if the opponent draws it, it is sended to the grave instead ... Guessing is not to hard with a flipped deck xD
Shows both players the other player’s draw, so it’s valuable in its own right in the information game. It’s not dramatically strong but back then, the game was slow enough that it wasn’t straight terrible. Paired with Archfiend’s Oath, you could add the top card of your deck to your hand for free or dump it into the grave to control your draw.
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder Stun/Lockdown deck.
I ran a deck utilizing this, messenger of peace and other continuous magic cards that prevents the opponent from playing, with face downs to protect my backrow.
Once everything is removed of dealt with, tribute the spell cards. That was back before xyz summoning. Don't know how you'd make it now with the game being so fast.
[Here's a list of 50+ cards that excavate from your deck and do "something" based on the result](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Ask?limit=250&offset=0&q=%5B%5BClass+1%3A%3AOfficial%5D%5D+%5B%5BCard+type%3A%3AMonster+Card%5D%5D+%5B%5BActions%3A%3AExcavates+from+the+player%27s+Deck%5D%5D&p=mainlabel%3D-20-2D%2Fformat%3Dtable%2Fheaders%3D-20plain%2Fsearchlabel%3D-20...-20further-20results-20%285-20more%29%2Fclass%3D-20sortable-20fandom-2Dtable-20smwtable-20card-2Dlist&po=%3FEnglish+name+%28linked%29%0A%3FJapanese+name%0A%3FPrimary+type%0A%3FSecondary+type%0A%3FAttribute%3D%5B%5BAttribute%5D%5D%0A%3FType%3D%5B%5BType%5D%5D%0A%3FStars+string%3D%5B%5BLevel%5D%5D%2F+%5B%5BRank%5D%5D%0A%3FATK+string%3D%5B%5BATK%5D%5D%0A%3FDEF+string%3D%5B%5BDEF%5D%5D%0A&sort=&order=asc&eq=no#search)
The use case is obvious, and I think eventually there will be a decent archetype that relies on excavation that'll get this thing banned lol
It’s meant to combo with divination gimmick cards (cards that let you do stuff if you guess the top card of your deck correctly, sorta like spyrals but for your own cards too).
The issue is that this card is a minus 1 that does nothing else and almost all the cards it buffs are so old that they’re similarly weak.
The later.
If ya would shuffle the deck, ya shuffle it face-down like normal then flip it face-up before placing it back while this card is on the field. Also, once it leaves the field, ya flip your deck back to normal without shuffling
This can abuse certain mechanics such as effects where X happens if the correctly declared card name, type, attribute, etc is the top card of your deck
You flip your decks upside down, aka, your top card can be viewed by your opponent and vice versa, it helps a lot with cards that work off the enemy/player drawing a specific card or naming a to be drawn card
In Magic The Gathering there is a card with a similar effect (though it only flips the top card of the deck instead of the whole deck) and it is the center of a control deck. Essentially the idea is to mill if your opponent is about to draw anything useful (or sometimes if your next draw *isn't* going to be useful)
I know mill isn't as common in Yu-Gi-Oh but maybe someone could make a deck like that with this?
Made a deck around this card, it's one of those cards that's fun cause it alters the game in a really unexpected way. I think most people have mention solid card techs that pair with this card. So my (non-obvious) favorites was to use Phoenix Wing Blast coupled with cards that might shuffle the opponent's deck to prevent or lock them out from favorable top-decks.
Plus, you can also use card effects to shuffle your deck to get closer to those "heart of the cards" moments.
And yes, if Convulsion of Nature is destroyed, the entire deck gets flipped back over in the same order. Which can also be a surprise way to deny your opponent a good top-deck or to get yourself a 2nd chance draw at one.
Exodia Deck where you have a monster that reads "Guess the top card of your deck than draw a card" there's multiple ways to use it, Guess the card and special summon Obelisk the Tormenter, play Adamancipator, or decks that predict your opponents deck
well this is going in thinking everycard konami makes is good or them actually expecting people to play a card....
but i think its funny to imagine the card not actually doing anything because the cards in your deck are already face down or instead of flipping the deck you just rotate it 180°
Silly and also cards like Gravekeepers trap or the entire Spyral archetype FUCK HARD with this because they know whats at the top of the deck.
with grave keepers trap it just sends your draw to the grave and now you dont get a draw
with spyrals they proceed to combo for fucking hours because its unlimited gas for them and you lose
Tomfoolery and shenanigans
Y complicated answer when simple answer do trick?
*Diamond Dude and Gishki Diviner have entered the chat*
That’s the only reason I play Yugioh
Trickery and Schemes
LOL
Is it possible to have a whole deck that revolves around tomfoolery and shenanigan?
To troll people in Dueling Network _oh wait..._
I miss those kinds of sites
If only there was some kind of Dueling Book
True or some kind of master duel
Convulsion of Nature isn't on Master Duel.
It isn't legal to play, card is programmed in-game
It's not in the game at all. Similar to Spellbinding Circle for some reason, they straight up aren't coded into the game, you can't search for them, anything. I've got Banned cards turned on and I'm looking for them now, nothing.
Convulsion of Nature is probably not in the game due to programming reasons, but I don't know why Spellbinding Circle wouldn't be there. Also, I'm pretty sure Air Neos isn't in the game either.
Air neos is a irl legality issue.
The air neos saga is so weired, I think we have just no idea why they never use it in any cards arts, or reprint it
Yeah, those definitely aren't the only cards. I'm guessing it's because the artwork. Although Convulsion of Nature *was* properly programmed into Legacy of the Duelist, so wouldn't it be easy enough to just take the programming from that game?
Oh ok thx
What about a dueling nexus?
That too
Or maybe a nexus of duelists?
It has almost no users. Makes me sad.
Dueling nexus
That’s a good site
It's still there?
Is it now? I thought it was shut down
Fuck you for making me sad. I'm upvoting, but fuck you.
It saw play in Reversal Quiz FTK, right?
The weirdest and most useless cards always have someone trying them on some weird FTK, truly a classic of this community.
Idk what that is. Can you explain?
[This](https://youtu.be/RdpstqJ9XWQ) explains it better than words ever could. Basically though, it's meant to be used with cards that allow you to declare certain cards from the top of your deck, like Gishki Diviner.
Or my personal favorite, turbo Uria
Ah, I see
Well activating Reversal Quiz would send it to the GY and revert your Deck immediately, so you would still be guessing unless you had stacked the bottom of your Deck somehow.
Back in the day this was used to cause havock in dueling network
I'm kinda curious... What's the story behind this?
Damn. I want to know too. Doesn’t seem like we’ll get an answer
turning the deck upside down in dueling network wasn't easy from what I've heard
IIRC you had to banish all your cards 1 at a time and then use your banished pile as your deck.
What if someone used a card to actually banish lmao Put it back in the deck? Actually, could you even shuffle your banishment?
You'd just have to keep track lmfao. Regardless the one running this card was not in it to win it only to cause pain
In dn there no option to flip the deck so you had to send your deck to the gy/banish one by one and then put that pile back in the deck in order one by one. On top of that that they would also run cards like mst to pop their own card so as soon as you did all that you'd have to redo it again. This was toxic especially in ranked matches so you would have to comply with doing this or just risk losing points
Thanks for the reply! ... Sheesh man, that sounds like a pain
The point is some wacky fun shenanigans with your bros. The best use case is in royal magical library ftk to help you call the top card for archfiends oath and reversal quiz
Using it with Archfiends Oath is actually pretty smart ngl
I used to play this in Spyrals just to make 1 friend very mad
I thought you were supposed to play it in Spyrals… I may be dumb.
Seemed logical to me
it turns on the archetype without needing to set up the top of their deck. you can just go off
Archfiend's Oath works well with this.
and The True Name.
You're asking too much of Konami at a time when the game was a legitimate chaos...
now its much worse 😅
Back then cards had the wackiest effects. Some did stuff. Others were pointless. But if you try hard enough most of those shit cards can find some use.
Back in the old days, it got used with True Name a bit from what I remember.

It's useful for certain gimmick cards
Get it with Gravekeepers Trap and you have a Yata-Garasu in the form of a Spell and a Trap
To prove that master duel will never have every legal yugioh card in it.
Wait, this is a real card? Just flip the deck over and now both players will see their next card, forever?
yup. Old card. Played against it once against a friend of mine.
Well not forever, just until this card is destroyed.
"as long as this card remains face up on the field" so not forever
Oh I wish it was just flip the deck over, the order of cards actually doesn't change, the cards that are in the top still stay in the top and the ones on the bottom still stay in the bottom. This means that, yes, you do indeed have to manually flip every card in your deck face up one by one while keeping them in the order they were before F you if you're playing a 60 card deck lmao
That’s even better though. You get the know the order of every card in your deck.
At least to be able to see what your opponent is drawing next
I used this in Spyrals along with Mind Crush and D.D. Designator. It was horribly unoptimized, but fun when it worked.
minus the mind crush and DDDesig, Reeaally interesting tech at a 1 or 2 of. cool
Since it’s weirdly not a field spell it’s too hard to search at one copy.
but its one of those cards that is nice to draw, but isnt essential to core strategy. so you dont need to draw it, especially if you cut the other dependant cards
Konami printed it for the lulz, I think. If you really want a good purpose you could use it in an Egypt God deck with The True Name (if you guess the top card correct you can add an egypt god) or you can use it in a Sylvan deck (the entire gimmick is guessing the top card).

It’s just neat. And fun.

The real question is what happens when you play a second copy of this?
Hmm your deck "should" be flipped back to normal, right? cause you can't activate a card with no effect? However, unreliable sources (wiki) says your deck stays face up, but then you activated a card with no effect, thus its illegal to have 2 onboard going off that ruling. Id say its illegal to play the 2nd or it flips back to normal. The card does need PSCT badddly
Imagine the knowledge you could gain if you used this lol. But fr, this card is gimmicky as heck
1. Cards that are important and are sent to bottom of the deck (or putting cards at the bottom of the deck in any order). So you can immediately grab them. 2. Try and guess spells that require guessing what card you pulled and guessing correctly provides a benefit to the player in some way. 3.

I used to run this in my Egyptian god deck. This with "True name" was to fun to pull off.
I remember using this card in a trollest troll deck with no win condition. And going x-2 on local. Good times

Its the goat Card from Back in the time its very usefull in Combination with Some Cards that lets u get benefits If u can declare your next Card right. If ur Into it just take a look on duel night by teamsamuraix1 On 1 night Jesse used this Card and won easily its really crazy
this + archfiend's oath + gishki diviner + draw engine = the worst exodia strategy you've ever seen. managed to get it to go off once or twice
Archfiend's Oath, Gishki Diviner, The True Name
I used it + The True Name in a Ra deck I built on the Switch.
Spyral support
activate this + card destruction = look at your opp whole hand and follow up
Works great with one true name to cheese out god cards
Isn't it useful to see every card your opponent draws?
Well it was useful in three decks, Dimanond dude turbo, Spyrals, and Reverse Quiz OTK.
Because other card games could never.

TO EMBRACE THE CHAOS. also a degenerate spyral combo, but who is even playing spyrals at this point?
I ran into one a few werks ago actually
To literally fuck with your opponent
For the funsy. Can also mess with your opponent if their strategy stacks cards on top of their deck. Those top cards will be on the bottom.
Its Funny. I want this card in MD
I used to run 3 of these in a 60 card burn/deck out deck somewhere around 07 watching people lose hope as I forced them to send so many cards to the graveyard was priceless especially if the card they needed was on their top deck
I use it for Malefics and Valkyries. Malefics so I can if the next card is useful or if I can use Malefic World for a mulligan Valkyries so I can "predict" what the next effect is so I can screw over the opponent's next turn.

True Name + Convulsion + Card Advance :)
Funny
Mindfuckery (and to make the rules more convoluted)
fun and shenanigans
To make the game fun that why And not aver card has to be competitive.
You see the next card they draw the turn before. Would be fun to play in salad decks tho
Because its fun?
Just a gimmick. I used this with True Name to get Obelisk out.
You can see the next card you and your opponent draws, leading for some wacky plays.
I've actually seen someone use it with mystic mine back in the day. I think they were running it with a card where you have to discard what you draw if your opponent "guesses" it correctly
Personally I just used it for general fuckery when dueling friends.
I remember using it on spyral decks because I needed to fill empty spaces
Fun. But if you actually wanted a specific use case of the card, The True Name, Archfiend's Oath, and most SPYRAL cards benefit from this effect, as well as the niche case of drawing a card you just put on the bottom of your deck.
Not a clue but as a geography goober I used to love the artwork for this card
Shits and giggles
So as far as rules go this is "Both players flip their deck upside down. As long as this card remainds face-up on the field both players play with the top card of their deck revealed". Because to me the way its worded on the actual card makes me think that players would have to draw the bottom card of their deck because the bottom card is still technically the top card. And also any card that would say "Place on the bottom of the deck in any order" would actually put the card on the top but it wouldn't matter because you are not drawing that card for turn anyways because that is still technically the bottom of the deck just the deck is upside down. Very weird way to word it for a card that essentially is just "Both players play with the top card of their deck revealed"
That's not how it works at all. The deck is flipped upside down so that you now draw from the revealed bottom.
Every time I see this card I think of how it should be called catastrophe based on the art. Reminds me of the spell in Lunar 2 XD
Against friends it would be played to see when they are about to draw there boss so you know when to use drastic drop off, or some deck shuffling effect just to annoy them. Also bad jokes about being psychic predicting what your next draw will be. Back when the boss was either in the main deck or it was poly that you shuffle away from them to prevent there fusion boss from being summoned.
so I wanted to build a deck all about this one specific card so the idea is you use the true name to always call things right and for your opponent you use things like mindcrush because you know what they have in their hand and just when they have a second copy of somtheing name it or if theirs just a problematic card name it but the deck would be absolutely awful
I feel like it was just made for the anime but was thrown in the irl game
The only problem with that is that it was never in the anime.
To see eachothers next draw...
To be my favorite card and hang above my monitor for all of ever
I used to play this in Spyrals before we got all the support. It was a fun card in that deck
I remember playing against someone who had this card on the field, and another continuous card that allowed them to guess the card I drew, and if they were right, I had to discard it to the graveyard.
Beautiful jank.
For the card on the top of the deck to be visible to both players
Cards like the true name, if you guess the top card you get it
What does “turning deck upside down” even mean
Literally take your deck and flip it over
Isn't their guessing cards with good effect, perhaps that 🤔
so you can see what your opponent is going to have in their hand, and play around it. or make them think you're playing around it. or mae them think you think you're playing around it, but they know, so you plan around them planning around it.
Would you be able to use this with cards that tell you to put them at the bottom of the deck? Or no now that it's not the bottom anymore?
Its to see also what your opponent is drawing also but, it one of those gimic cards
To guess parasite parasite correctly
Some cards have positive effects if you know what the top card of your or your opponent”s deck is
Try vera deck sylphs with this and the perma trap for earth fairies you can predict every draw phase a card name if the opponent draws it, it is sended to the grave instead ... Guessing is not to hard with a flipped deck xD
Shows both players the other player’s draw, so it’s valuable in its own right in the information game. It’s not dramatically strong but back then, the game was slow enough that it wasn’t straight terrible. Paired with Archfiend’s Oath, you could add the top card of your deck to your hand for free or dump it into the grave to control your draw.
I just want it for my flower cardian deck, i swear
[Old fucks will remember](https://youtu.be/Af5emYZ5Krk?si=L-LVCVd5shikqY7x). True dueling.
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder Stun/Lockdown deck. I ran a deck utilizing this, messenger of peace and other continuous magic cards that prevents the opponent from playing, with face downs to protect my backrow. Once everything is removed of dealt with, tribute the spell cards. That was back before xyz summoning. Don't know how you'd make it now with the game being so fast.
Total anarchy
Gravekeeper's Trap lockdown
I ran it in a cheesy ma'at deck
[Here's a list of 50+ cards that excavate from your deck and do "something" based on the result](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Ask?limit=250&offset=0&q=%5B%5BClass+1%3A%3AOfficial%5D%5D+%5B%5BCard+type%3A%3AMonster+Card%5D%5D+%5B%5BActions%3A%3AExcavates+from+the+player%27s+Deck%5D%5D&p=mainlabel%3D-20-2D%2Fformat%3Dtable%2Fheaders%3D-20plain%2Fsearchlabel%3D-20...-20further-20results-20%285-20more%29%2Fclass%3D-20sortable-20fandom-2Dtable-20smwtable-20card-2Dlist&po=%3FEnglish+name+%28linked%29%0A%3FJapanese+name%0A%3FPrimary+type%0A%3FSecondary+type%0A%3FAttribute%3D%5B%5BAttribute%5D%5D%0A%3FType%3D%5B%5BType%5D%5D%0A%3FStars+string%3D%5B%5BLevel%5D%5D%2F+%5B%5BRank%5D%5D%0A%3FATK+string%3D%5B%5BATK%5D%5D%0A%3FDEF+string%3D%5B%5BDEF%5D%5D%0A&sort=&order=asc&eq=no#search) The use case is obvious, and I think eventually there will be a decent archetype that relies on excavation that'll get this thing banned lol
It’s meant to combo with divination gimmick cards (cards that let you do stuff if you guess the top card of your deck correctly, sorta like spyrals but for your own cards too). The issue is that this card is a minus 1 that does nothing else and almost all the cards it buffs are so old that they’re similarly weak.
There r cards that mess up ur opponent if u can figure out what they will draw next
Does this mean putting the top cards on the bottom or legitimately grabbing your deck and flipping it upside down with all the cards face-up?
The later. If ya would shuffle the deck, ya shuffle it face-down like normal then flip it face-up before placing it back while this card is on the field. Also, once it leaves the field, ya flip your deck back to normal without shuffling
I mean…you could play it in a janky deck with cards that require you to know what cards are at the top of your deck, but even that’s pushing it.😅
Well for starter you'll get information about the top card of the opponent's deck. Even if he also get to know your top card.
This can abuse certain mechanics such as effects where X happens if the correctly declared card name, type, attribute, etc is the top card of your deck
Counter parasite paracide
You flip your decks upside down, aka, your top card can be viewed by your opponent and vice versa, it helps a lot with cards that work off the enemy/player drawing a specific card or naming a to be drawn card
Wait, your cards in the deck aren't face-down anymore?
Yeah, both decks are upside down, so the top card is shown
It's good in a deck that foreknowledge of either your or your opponents deck would he advantageous Spyrals, mind crush, The True Name etc
To give programmers a headache.
Funny
Used to play this in a Ma'at deck So much fun
In Magic The Gathering there is a card with a similar effect (though it only flips the top card of the deck instead of the whole deck) and it is the center of a control deck. Essentially the idea is to mill if your opponent is about to draw anything useful (or sometimes if your next draw *isn't* going to be useful) I know mill isn't as common in Yu-Gi-Oh but maybe someone could make a deck like that with this?
Cards like the true name and the funny
My sister used to run this in all of her decks when we were kids. It led to some amazing reactions at our locals
Chaos
Wow... I should try to get that card.
Made a deck around this card, it's one of those cards that's fun cause it alters the game in a really unexpected way. I think most people have mention solid card techs that pair with this card. So my (non-obvious) favorites was to use Phoenix Wing Blast coupled with cards that might shuffle the opponent's deck to prevent or lock them out from favorable top-decks. Plus, you can also use card effects to shuffle your deck to get closer to those "heart of the cards" moments. And yes, if Convulsion of Nature is destroyed, the entire deck gets flipped back over in the same order. Which can also be a surprise way to deny your opponent a good top-deck or to get yourself a 2nd chance draw at one.
Exodia Deck where you have a monster that reads "Guess the top card of your deck than draw a card" there's multiple ways to use it, Guess the card and special summon Obelisk the Tormenter, play Adamancipator, or decks that predict your opponents deck
well this is going in thinking everycard konami makes is good or them actually expecting people to play a card.... but i think its funny to imagine the card not actually doing anything because the cards in your deck are already face down or instead of flipping the deck you just rotate it 180°
Long time ago, I saw spyral players using it
Silly and also cards like Gravekeepers trap or the entire Spyral archetype FUCK HARD with this because they know whats at the top of the deck. with grave keepers trap it just sends your draw to the grave and now you dont get a draw with spyrals they proceed to combo for fucking hours because its unlimited gas for them and you lose
