5 UNPRINTABLE Yu-Gi-Oh! ANIME CARDS 

I think that "Reduction Barrier" couldn't get printed because it makes one instance of damage become one tenth of it instead or 10% of the damage you would have taken. This is simply because Yugioh players already struggle with basic maths, so this would be astronomically difficult to figure out. Imagine like us doing 10% of flying castle of darkness (or whatever its name is) and have to subtract that from our life points. Crazy.

Its kinda crazy that literally any deck can play ivy bind castle. Even when it destroys itself due to you not tributing a predaplant you've already skipped the opponent's turn once and probably have lethal on board already. Imagine literally any meta endboard, but add on a one-sided skill drain + imperial order + royal decree. At least with Mystic Mine it affects both players so you have to build around it.

Judgment arrows can easily have it's effect re-written to be "in this card's Column and adjacent zone". The op part is the link arrows. but if you remove the link arrows you kinda destroy the identity of the card to the point there is no reason to print it.

Power Balance is also too OP for the TCG. When you have no cards in hand (infernity would love it!), you flip it and your opponent discards half the cards in their hand, then you draw the same number that they discarded. Yes, I would love to go +5 off a single card.

Here's one you didn't mention. The pillager. Appearing in the first season of the duel monsters era, bandit Keith plays this card against Joey in the semi finals. The pillager allows a player to look at his or her opponents hand and take one card to add to their own hand.

In Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds anime there are three cards used by misty Treadwell Sorrowful memories unwavering truth and sorrowful chain One of them says if either player draws a monster card during the draw phase they shuffle it back into the deck The second one is for spells the third is for traps with these 3 cards neither player can have their draw phase

Ah yes, the Nibelung cards. I remember having a deck using "anime only" cards as well in YGOPro back in the day. An Exodia deck that is. It had the 3-3 copies of the Nibelung cards, 3 copies of Royal Magical Library, the bamboo swords, and 3-3 copies of 2 more anime only cards: "Spellbook inside the pot" Effect: both players draw 3 cards. "Magician's Library" Effect: add 1 spell card from your deck to your hand. That deck was so damn consistent, I never required any extra turn. Any one of the 9 draw cards mentioned here would be too broken to print. The ring was just... a collateral. Also, the first version of Nibelung's treasure was worder differently. It didn't necessarily require Nibelung's Ring. It just stated that I had to give a spell card from my deck to my opponent who has to activate it on their field at once if it meets it's activation condition. Meaning I could just give them the "Spellbook inside the pot", have them draw 3, while I draw 8. It was an insane engine.

we thought numbers evaille was too broken to be printed but they did it. so imho almost anything is really on the table in terms of effect or power. theres a few mechanics that cant be printed though like the upside down effects of original arcana force monsters. this is a fun type of video :D

Judgement arrows would be bad even if printed with its anime effect. Link and Pendulum decks do not need the extra link arrows to function properly and the Limiter Removal like effect, while cute, is irrelevant when you're killing your opponent in a single turn with Borrelsword or Accesscode.

Also, Noah's Arc deck master effect is batshit. It is necrocosmos on crack, meaning that it CAPTURES all monsters sent to the gy and you can RELEASE THEM in order to gain 500 lp for monster banished. Imagine that being a continuous spell that cannot be removed, because that is what deck masters are like.

I was actually surprised *Time Fusion* wasn't included here. Its a normal Spell Card that can summon *ANY* Fusion monster from the Extra deck ignoring the summoning conditions. Its like Gold Sarcophagus but on Fusion support and you only need to wait for 1 turn at the cost of -1 (which is banishing one card from your own hand) and doesn't have a hard once per turn restriction. Definitely beyond broken if you ask me.

Ill be back when Ivy Bind Castle gets printed :)

To make Ivy Bind Castle not that broken. Having the clause, that you can only SS or activate the effects of Predaplant Monsters for the rest of the turn or the duel might fix it.

Judgment arrows seems like the most passable the one thing I would change is the attack gain. Maybe during the battle phase if a L.M battles a monster, it gains half of its own attack or gain 300 attack for each of that monster's links.

I don't think judgment arrows is that overpowered. Stat changing cards don't usually have the big an effect on the meta.

Yusho playing through Ivy Bind Castle and still being in a position to win is one of the greatest Yugioh moments ever.

probably the sole reason judgement arrows will never get printed is because its a spell with link arrows and the only one of its kind

"Spell Sanctuary" I think would be neat as a once per turn. As for the search, it could lock players out for the turn involving that name added an only allows normal spells to be turned.

What about Joey's dice card that lets you draw cards equal to the dice result, AND summon a monster from the hand?

For the Gladiator Beast Assault Forts.... they would probably make the second text-box it's own separate card and make it so that instead of "transforming" your other Gladiator Beast spells and traps into that card, you ditch a couple to activate some copies of it from your deck. That would be a reasonable way to adjust.... ONE of the details about that card. Underworld Circle might be able to be done by making it normal Special summons (that don't ignore summoning requirements) and requiring both players to have a number of monsters in their GY already to activate. Judgment Arrows actually isn't to much of a big deal since big ATK isn't as important irl then it is in the anime.... so it's only real plus for you is more Link arrows.... which require you to already do some link shenanigans to activate on a not-very searchable card. Ivy Bind Castle, Nibelung's Treasure and Spell Sanctuary however..... yeah, those would require much heavier overhauls.

Spell Sanctuary was just there to keep the duel as close to the manga as possible because in other duels, they could change the spells to trap cards. or replace some of them with similar effects and it would not change too much of the narrative in the manga, the rule stated that you're only allowed to either play or set 1 spell and 1 trap per turn - if you want to use 2 of the same type, you must have already set 1 of them from the previous turn. You can also activate a set spell card in your opponent's turn. for example: Yugi could only set a Spell Binding Circle (spell) and Magic Cylinder (trap) in a turn in his fight with the doll dude in the anime adaptation, both cards were trap cards, which match irl cards (this nullifies the original rule - which was one of the reasons some fans thought they were smarter than the characters.) in this particular duel, a lot of cards are too much to change so they just created this card to justify keeping the spell cards as they were.

Ironically, the Egyptian Gods would get shredded in the modern era. The problem is each card only has so much space to type all 52-65 effects on the card

I could definitely see Underworld Circle being relentlessly abused in Runick.

Fair Exchange (Clark Smith - 5DS) Spell Card Send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. Your opponent sends cards from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard equal to the combined Levels of any monsters sent to the Graveyard this way. This card would enable mill decks, either milling yourself 3 cards, or highrolling high levels and milling your opponent a lot. Elegant Light Lvl 4 (Howard X Miller - 5DS) Trap card When this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck. Ok... summon from deck is busted now, makes Foolish Burial Goods a one-card combo in so many decks. Raise the Woof (Pip - Zexal) Spell Card Shield Wall (Gurimo - Duel Monsters) Quick Play Both are Spell cards which summon 4 tokens (Raise the Woof with the restriction of not having Level 3 or higher monsters and Shield wall is a Quickplay, both having the restriction of cannot be tributed) then, Scapegoat without the restriction of Summoning. Giant Flood (Noah - Duel Monsters) Spell Card Activate only during your Main Phase 1. Send all monsters on the field and from both players' hands to the Graveyard. Field Removal without destroying plus discarding, it is kinda balanced because it is for both players but you might play around it.

Having watched Vrains it's terrifying to think we got a nerfed version of Gumblar, it's awesome when the cards do the same thing but I'm glad for the most part there's a limit on the blowout cards.

-Ivy Bind Castle could be only active while you control a Predaplant monster, basically locking it to the archetype, not to mention it's unsearchable. -Nah, Judgement Arrows should not be printed. It would basically make any Deck that uses Link Monster broken. Can you imagine using Accesscode or Borrelsword with this? -Spell Sanctuary could either allow you to set one Spell each turn depending on whose turn it is and any card set by this effect can be activated, or you can activate one set Normal or Continuous Spell during your opponent turn. -While not Treasure, I could see the Ring being printed. And the monster discard effect isn't that broken. - Underworld Circle could just have the revive effect, but negate its effects -Gladiator Beast Assault Fort... Yeah I have no idea how to use this in real life.

Judgment Arrows doesn't have a very good effect as far as the modern game is considered. However, the fact it gives you 3 free Link Arrows without committing resources would make it played a lot.

1:45 this is the one ruling im curious about since there are cards that allows you to put link monsters in the S/T zone. does it still count as being linked?

Spell sanctuary would actually be the most broken of all these if you think about it or have ever used it in anime duels on ygopro but things like underworld circle could be released and so could judgment arrows. Underworld circle might need to be changed to only work if you have less than 1000 lp or something to prevent abuse, but judgment arrows serms to already be ok as it is, of course itd prolly be limited instantly but it already has a fair cost...

Cubic Defense is one I see never coming out without major changes. The effect from the DSoD movie is that “If a monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle: Make that monster(s) unable to be destroyed by that battle, and if you do, Special Summon 2 monsters from your hand with the same name as that monster you control.” It’s very generic and would work with any deck, as a Cubic player myself, I want to see this card reworked and released

Does anyone remember Bandit Keith's "pillager" card? It let him look at joey's hand and steal a card that he liked

I want to go down the one at a time myself too. Ivy bind is 100% Printable, an Archetypal skill drain is Konami's favorite answer for legacy support. I'd argue it'd even be kind of mid because as a floodgate it outs itself unless you play predaplants and you'd only use this out of archetype if you were a blind second deck and sided it in in-case your opponent made you go first so you can OTK on T3 after it pops itself. Judgement Arrows is terrible. Sure, it's a neat atk boost but every modern link monster is printed with very compatible arrows and that's usually not an issue, the fact that it points to 3 zones means it'll probably just enable Extra Linking but Underworld goddes exists and it removing the monsters it points to if it's popped is devastating. Obviously you'd need the searcher guy to use this but him being a monster with 3 upward arrows and needing battle destruction makes it functionally unsearchable, you read something like Branded Loss or Tearlaments Scream and it's pretty obvious this card doesn't really mesh with Yugioh. Spell Sanctuary is absolutely broken and probably shouldn't be printed, however, this card letting your opponent also search and letting them immediately activate spells in their hand is killer, they could search backrow removal to out it if this is an issue if you use it to search a combo starter they can always ignore it and search their own board wipe or if you're a combo deck, imagine wuixk effect Dark Ruler No More 🙃 Turns out being nice to your opponent is too balanced in Yugioh. Nibelung is also funny and 100% an anime style effect, but what's funny is that because you have to give your opponent a monster before you set this up turn 1, it's actually probably okay solely because it would be more a going second engine. Also the ring being a hard garnet hurts a lot since drawing it whiffs all copies of treasure and it alone does nothing. The funny thing about Treasure is it's functionally targets on resolution and negates any monster on the field. Sure you can't out untargetable bosses since to equip a card is to target it, but it would trade 1:1 with cards like Baronne. Underworld Circle has no howevers, never let that card exist, you could delete every other effect on that card except the fissure their deck an would be an auto win 99% of the time it resolves. As crazy as that Gladiator beats card there is one Minor, minor issue. You're playing gladiator beasts, you're never activating that trap because your opponent will just wipe your monsters or force you to crash to activate it. Let's say it had no activation condition and didn't pop everything non-gladiator beast you controlled it would still be kind of whelming, let's break it down. You have to have a critical mass of your Continuous backrow to special summons name from decks, honestly even if you just had this one trap that's fine, but too bad it doesn't treat itself as a Gladiator Beast monster so whatever you summon is a Vanilla. The floating gets rid if your other backrow and monsters, no. That effect will never be worth triggering unless your opponent decides to desk with everything else on your field before this trap. For Text Box 2 it's more of the same except it's worse because it didn't need to say it's a spell card, it functionally just says "During your main phase you can activate these effects" The burn shuffles away a monster you control in it's adjacent main monster zone for a minor burn, unless time is being called you want those monsters on field to summon your fusion's It summons from deck at spell speed 1, agajn they're vanillas but this is fine. The battle protection is quick effect but it's battle protection, lol, lmao, an actual joke. Relevant for the deck, but relying on the battle phase is not very smart. Targeting Destruction protection is way too little protection, targeting non destruction, Non Targeting Destruction, and non targeting non destruction all get around it. True words have never been spoken about text, same reason the god cards can't be printed, they look scary but ultimately do nothing and have so much text that does nothing. And weird how something as old and as simple as Mirage of Nightmare is probably better than all of these except for that monster that deletes decks and would see olay in exactly runick Stun for easy deck outs

Judgement arrows will also boost pendulum monsters. Link into beyond the pendulum, activate this in middle s/t zone and now you can pendulum Sumon 4 pendulum monsters from the extra deck.

Narrow tunnel from 5d's. Better summon limit + kaiser colosseum that you can circumvent with monsters that cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Life Force is also up there as a card too broken to ever be printed. Life Force is a continuous trap used by Syrus in his duel against Zane in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. It reduces each instance of damage you take to 400 LP. No cost and no limit on the number of times per turn you can use it. If you don't have a way to negate or destroy the thing, it would turn into the most excruciating stall card in existence.

with the master rule rule to limit pendlum summons from extra deck to extra monster zone or to fields link monster point to could also profit from judgement arrow

my argument for one of the strongest cards in all of yu gi oh's history: alter of restoration. it's like a spell reproduction, trap recycle, and monster reincarnation all rolled into one, but with a completely trivial cost.

I mean alot of older anime cards are more underpowered now. It's a meme that the god cards in the real game are basically unplayable and even if they made the anime ones they'd probably be rarely played still

I like how judgement arrows was just the seal of orichalchos again

Judgment arrows could be printed tbh with the downside and the fact that most decks don’t care about extra link to much

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Judgment Arrows is unplayably bad, lol. There isn't any link deck in the game that needs the extra arrows at this point, and the ATK buff only matters if you're going 2nd, which makes this a going 2nd continuous spell that all it does is buff ATK and says "you lose the game" if your opponent pops it... play Evenly Matched, Lightning Storm, a hand trap, literally anything. With the restrictions ontop of everything and the fact that 0 link decks released rn would be able to search it... my lord it's bad. It's a fun casual card at best, maybe you could steal a locals match win, but this would never see competitive play, would have to be buffed.

I skipped the 7 gladiator beast episodes so never knew they made such a broken trap lol

Id like to add Supreme King Brutality- Basicaly look at your opponents hand and destroy cards up to the number of Supreme King cards you control (Anime Zarc sent 4). Also Anime Zarc is super busted

Judgement Arrows would be a cool card IRL.

Some of the cards that have been released have way more broken anime effects like golden castle of stromburg where your opponent pays the cost.

Funny interaction with underworld cicle, u can summon holathyle with it without tributing the egipcian god cards to win

I dont think the attack gain on judgement arrows is that big of a deal. Cyberse decks already have a link monster that can give any monster that uses it as material 2 attacks. So this card would be worse since you have to draw it or search it. The only problematic part are the link arrows since it can lead to easy extra links, but extra links arent that good unless you're dueling another link deck or using iblee.

there was one card that stops the entire duel and forces both players to continue the match while skydiving. that was all. it does not give either player any advantage. just CARD GAMES WHILE SKYDIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:30 I was thinking Xyz Materials, but also remembered the Cookpals and the Alchemy Continuous Spell that got cards under it as well...

When Phantom Knight’s Possession? It would actually make the effects of Raging and Rebellion Dragon useful.

Oh geez, imagine how cracked bird decks would be if Underworld Circle is printed.

I preferably think that if Judgment Arrows was printed, Crusadia would climb up to a tier 0 deck.

I would love Armatos Legio to be released

Ivy Bind Castle is another in archetype floodgate. It's par for the course in terms of legacy support. So it'd fit right in. Honestly it's easier to out than Mystic Mine. Just make sure your opponent doesn't have a monster to tribute by the time their turn rolls around and there are plenty of ways to do that. Judgement Arrows is terrible now, even in Link dedicated decks. Because only Pendulums and Links really rely on the EMZ now. If this card came out during the MR5 time when the EMZ was mandatory for all Extra deck monsters, this would've been a staple. Now? They could print this thing as is and it probably won't see play outside of pendulum and link decks. It's way to easy to just remove. Spell Sanctuary is busted just for being able to search a spell from the deck upon activation. The only downside is that you give your opponent the opportunity to do so as well. But that's well worth the trade off because 9/10 times spells these days are not designed to work as traps. It would definitely need some harsher restrictions. The Nebelung cards would definitely be abused just for the draw effect. No player alive is gonna turn down a draw 5 spell that activates a negate from deck. And all you need to do is play 1 garnet? Immediate include. Treasure would be banned with the speed of light. But the ring would be fine as is. Your opponent can draw 2 every turn? Pfft, good luck keeping that beatstick with no effect alive long enough to benefit from that. There's already a card that can let you draw 2 for the rest of the duel and no one uses it. Underworld Circle would be an immediate ban. It's a game killer. You activate this turn 1 or 2 and it's NOT negated? Immediate lost. All monsters are destroyed and all monsters in the deck are banished, right upon resolution of the card? With nothing in your grave you now have nothing to summon. Oh nah that's too toxic, I would see an emergency ban within 2 weeks of release. Assault Fort is unprintable because it's just convoluted and I can see at least 2 ruling nightmares coming from it. The effects are actually pretty mid. Just some standard protections and some burn from what I can see.

Would the shuffled back glad beasts activate thier effects to summon another glad beast from the deck because if that worked glad beasts would be tier 0 the amount of interruptions would be wild . I already play glad beasts on master duel and it gets me to diamond the combos are wild af

Gotta a have Sabatiel - The Philosopher's Stone on this list for obvious reasons

Underworld circle would see play in every floo deck and should never exist

Spectre himself said what Sunavalon needed is Judgement Arrows

What about Double Arms from 5D’s? It is a generic equip spell that doubles any effect damage the equipped monster deals. Or Kaiba’s Deck Destruction Virus from the Pyramid of Light movie? It mills 10 random cards from the opponents deck every turn.

There are other anime cards that are 'OP' and unprintable. Well... Not sure if they are considered OP. There's Lost Pride. This trap card enables you to discard a spell card from your hand and pay 1000 life points to steal a spell card from your opponent's graveyard. and there's Scrap Fusion. Scrap Fusion enables you to banish fusion materials from your opponent's graveyard and you fusion summon a monster from their deck to your side. And there's Drain Time. If you control a destiny HERO Plasma, you can skip the draw, standby, main 1, battle or main Phase 2.

Pot of Greed. Easy card advantage with no cost or downside. A card like that could never be released into the actual game.

No 1 is Seal of Orichalcos because stealing someone's soul is overpowered

The Gladiator Beast card is an essay itself I would just scoop if I am facing someone playing it

I will say in the defense of the Ring and Treasure combo. I will say that they could probably print the Ring no problem and just never print the Treasure card. The only way I could see them printing Treasure would be lowering the draw to 3 and discarding a card from your hand and limiting it to 2 or 1 or if they kept the 5 card draw effect I'd say they wpuld have to put either a huge life point cost on it, but that would make most people not really play save maybe Exodia decks or any decks that are used to los8jg life points, but I think the other methods I mentioned would be the only way we'd get both cards and be able to use them reliably in my opinion

My lord that Gladiator Beast card. You could probably make it somewhat workable by consolidating all of the text onto the trap itself, thereby making those "once per turn" effects actually once per turn, but that's still a novel contained within a single card.

Underworld Circle cannot be printed not even because of its OPness but mostly because the second part is a ruling’s nightmare.

What about that Kaiba card that discards half the opponent's hand and then he draws the same number of cards that were discarded? All for NO COST.

Judgment arrows is not that broken it just need a restriction that it has to be co-linked to a link monster so you can use the zones for a link summon also restrict it to Cyberse monsters only since the armatos legio archetype is Cyberse and maybe if its seems too broken still the attack boost will be applied only to the monsters this card points to. Also i dont think this card will be extremely relevant in a lot of Cybers decks this way, it can be used mainly in code talkers or firewall decks since the salamangreat and marincess usually dont have more than 3 link monsters on the board at the same time.

7:10 that really a big fortress... of text 😂😂😂

for ivy bind castle, you just add the gimmick of predaplant, counters. You negate the effect and stop the attacks of monster with a predaplant counter

Judgment Arrow is basically Weather Painter Spell/Trap. Give monsters it "points to" some effects.

Ivy bind Castle is like mystic mine but it has a combined effect of cauldron if the old man the only restriction is the predaplant tributing part

Gladiator Beast card just seems exhausting

Judgment Arrows should be printed as an unique card like the Divine-type monsters.

I can see them printing the first card, but have it limited to 1 since some of the Predaplant cards had been hit already.

Well the draw five would just need a restriction on it. Or make it draw less. But then again you'd still need those cards on the field to work.

Not going to lie the crush card virus was actually very Opie and that was all the way back at the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh I could be wrong but I think maximillia Pegasus used it or maybe it was seto kaiba, either way the card was so good they even put it in my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh game and I think would be the best out of all of them Yu-Gi-Oh duelist of the roses that's how good the card was along with others, Not going to lie the Yu-Gi-Oh game on PlayStation 2 Yu-Gi-Oh duelist of roses really should have gotten a remake and I'm still hoping that one day soon it will get a remake?!😢❤

Judgement arrows could get released tomorrow and would see zero play. Its an unserchable spell that doesnt belong to any archetype and it also has basicly no effect. Link decks uve mentioned like salad marincess or sunavalon have enough link zones to play and would rather play going second cards or extenders instead.

Judgments arrows goes crazy ngl.

If Judgement Arrows could only be activated if a link in the main zone pointed to the spell/trap zone and applied only to co-linked cards, it'd probably be enough. It would fit it with how it was portrayed and emphasized in the anime as well without being too strong

The piliger used by Bandit Keith could never be printed. Cards like confiscation and delinquent duo are banned and the piliger is even worse cause you take the opponents card and add it to your hand.

they should print these as prize cards but put in the text (can't be played in a duel)

Thing with GB Assault Fort is it doesn't need to be so overly convoluted. The whole thing of making cards be treated as other cards is stupid and unnecessary. Make the Continuous Spells actual cards that Assault Fort searches or activates from the Deck (GB Assault Tower or something). Then Assault Fort can have the effect of milling a GB monster to deal effect damage, and the Spells can give GB monsters battle and effect destruction protection

3:20 Fun fact: The only reason the anime gave Kaiba this card was to allow the manga rule of the same effect to work for the duel.... despite duels working under that rule for the entire anime, lol. It makes so little sense, especially since the very next duel works under the same rule anyways, so it's not like they did it to change the rules or anything like that.

In Ygo pro I made a crazy deck with Underworld circle to banish both of our decks and would gain a bunch of life off soul absorption, then would play necroface to reshuffle the carda back multiple times for billions of life points, then ran them over over with gren maju

Kinda disapointed that goat of arms wasn"t Here, you know Tron"s ace.

Another good example from dm was the original card of demise. Draw until you have 5 cards in your hand and the downside doesn't even matter

9:09 Holy crap he turned Yu-Gi-Oh into Tower Defence?!

5:28 this would have the heavily linked to he's archetype, and in turn you would have to take a hit on activating spell cards on the turn you do this.

Only five??? Considering how anime can go, that's surprising...

2:40 Im sorry, are we still in MR4 where link arrows actually matter?

Spell sanctuary MAYBE could be printed if they took off the search effect or gave that part a HoPT or HoPD clause.

what about season 4 jaden with his card that can legit change a cards effect

"Jaden draws "Magician's Library" and subsequently activates it, adding "Fusion Birth" from his Deck to his hand" Bruh this is manga, just draw it no need to search

Judgment Arrows could come into the game with a simple re-write, even with the arrows. It's already printed downsides have to persist of course. The card also could have a restriction like: "You can only summon Link Monsters to a zone this card points to. Also, Monsters summoned to a zone this card points to must be co-linked to this card."

judgment arrow is garbage Glorified attack boost that literally does nothing for consistancy or disruption nor does anything by itself. Literally just playing against top tier makes this card worthless. Link decks like sunavalon, salaman and marincess have no use for something like this as they re going to be too busy fighting against the hand traps or any disruptions on the opponent s field. Also those decks literally have no problem with the monsters being link summoned starting with the extra zone. The worse judgment arrow could accomplish could be making extra link easier and even then, nowadays meta decks are meta because they aren't entirely fucked when you seal both extra monster zone.

Why is no one talking about Zero Gravitation, that card is op as fuck

That glad beats card too OP. On top of burning the opponent potentially to death with some combo. You set up fusion materials.

Maybe Spell Sanctuary should have a restriction where only you must set your spells first before activation.

I don't think ivy bind Castle needs any change at all I think we need more cards like that actually.
