Single Card Review - Pot of Duality

Good evening world, it's your one hell of a blogger, Bong here with today's single card review, pot of duality.  Now I know the TCG has been overjoyed recently because they just got their most anticipated card of the year reprinted, in the form of a super rare in a tin no less.  What was once a 160+ USD card can now be bought at a mere 8USD.  So, why was this card so expensive and why was it hyped to such a degree?  Let's have a look at the card itself shall we?

"I am dirt cheap now~ Yeah!"

Let's evaluate this card.  Okay, this card allows you to choose one of the three cards chosen and add it into your hand.  After activation, you can neither conduct your special summon nor activate a second pot.  Balanced?  More than that.  However, it is also broken in some sense too but thanks to its drawback, the effect is not as grand.  The effect that lets you choose one of the three cards revealed is groundbreaking enough.  Think about it, you are on the verge of losing and you revealed Dark Hole.  You activate it and turn the whole table around.  It's completely possible and totally practical.

Let's just look at the current meta decks.  Although almost all the decks focus on special summoning, they still run 2 to three pot of dualities in their decks because it just boosts the consistency too much.  Think about the days when we had graceful charity, it's exactly the same principle just that the remaining two are shuffled back into the deck instead of being discarded into the graveyard.  So what if you cannot conduct your special summon this turn, it doesn't mean that you can't conduct it during your opponent's turn.

In short, this card is very good even in this format, so you should definitely try running it to improve your deck's consistency.  That's all for today, take care.
