This meta has exploded! With Royal Oppression not available for us to use anymore, there is nothing to stop a deck from special summoning. If we can not stop someone from special summoning, let's bonus from it.

Maxx "C"
Level 2 Earth/Insect Effect Monster

You can activate this effect during either player's turn by sending this card from your hand to the Graveyard. This turn, each time your opponent Special Summon a monster(s), draw 1 card. You can only activate "Maxx "C"" once per turn.


This card has proved itself over and over again. Just from reading the text above you should already know what would be the best uses for this card. Just in case let me break it down for you.

Decks to use this card against are any decks that do major special summoning. These decks include Chaos, Agents, Plants, Rabbit, Infernities, Dark World, Karakuri, Blackwing, and the Synchro/XYZ variant decks. You could use this card while you are in a bind to gain that ever needed hand control. The use for this card is also to gain that hand control when you have lost the field control.

I do not suggest to use this card in the main deck of every deck, however this as a side deck card is a must have. There are bad match ups with the occasional anti-meta or burn decks where this card will not be proactive.

The two main cards that would stop the drop of Maxx "C" are Debunk and Herald of Orange Light. Debunk is a trap card, and though not heavily played it is very effective. Herald of Orange Light has become a staple card in the side decks of Fairies.

Again, this card does not stop your opponent from special summoning but it gives them the option to continue or not. If they choose to not continue their special summoning you still plus on that turn.
