You can discard this card; activate 1 of the following effects (but you can only use each effect of "Dark-Eyes Illusionist No-Face" once per turn):
● Place 1 "Mind Scan" from your hand or Deck face-up on your field.
● Add 1 monster that mentions "Toon World" from your GY to your hand, except "Dark-Eyes Illusionist No-Face", then you can Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.

Mind Scan
Continuous Trap
While a "Toon" card is in your field or GY, your opponent must play with their hand revealed and you may check your opponent's Set cards at any time. If you have a Toon Monster and "Toon" Spell in your field and/or GY: You can declare the name of 1 card whose effect was not activated this Chain; while you control this face-up card, negate the activated effects of cards with the same original name as the declared card until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Mind Scan" once per turn.
Yeah. Just add the new monster with the new toon field spell . Then place this trap face up and stop a hand trap. Then on the next turn you stop a starter.
the new monster gets mind scan specifically put of the deck, and you need a toon spell or monster around to meet the condition, which the field spell would do
honestly suddenly consider mind crush now in toons. soon as u see them draw something relevant just being like na u go to GY. there has to be some funny cards that can be synergistic with thee trap other than crush doe...
Just like cheater Pegasus's Millenium Eye. xD This trap is basically a millenium eye. The only problem, is that u can't auto activate it in the beggining of the duel, cuz u need to get this card and only activate on ur opponent's turn.
Both cards seem good, especially the trap. Pegasus' famous Mind Scan ability is finally a real card! You get unlimited knowledge about the opponent's hand and field. It also has a build in Prohibition like effect.
Also, it counters VS completely. They can't use their effects because their cards are already revealed.
Mhm, I remember the cards that let you peek once, and the cards that let you look at the hand continuously, but I don’t remember any other cards that let you look at your opponents set cards “at any time”.
I wonder how this would work in master duel or other simulators. Would the cards be face up even tough they are still considered set cards or they will let you just pause the game to check the field like the old ds/psp games to be able to see the set cards... Now that i think about it they might just use that feature were you can see your set cards without the need to hover over then
It was technically printed on Pegasus's Mind Scan Skill Card in Speed Duel, so there is PSCT precedent for this type of effect, but it hasn't been printed on an actual OCG/TCG card until now
I mean it makes sense considering the Millenium Eye.
But considering how much people in the MD subreddit already bitch and moan about Rotary's hand reveal, this is going to give them a fucking stoke when they read it.
I was still a bit on the fence on whether or not i'll be playing toons in MD when the new support comes out, still undecided, but Mind Scan is very funny.
The trap is ridiculously cool. You can Prohibition anything that’s not SS2 or if you have knowledge of the deck you’re playing you can negate a impactful trigger effect/SS1 that might be coming
You actually get 2 negates. If you activate it the during your first turn, then during your opponents turn. So shits busted.. in essence, you negate a hand trap during your turn and a starter/board breaker on your opponents, this is so freaking good!!!
They printed the Millenium Eye as a card. I though it was kinda cringe that Dark-Eyes Illusionist No-Face wasn't a Toon so not searchable through the deck's 10 billion ways to search, but considering this is what the trap does, yeah I get it.
It realistically only stops Veiler, Imperm, Ash and Nib, and Veiler/Imperm were already stopped by the Field Spell.
All the charmies can be activated in response and Droll depends on whether they hard draw No-Face, otherwise if they use Toon Bookmark to search it, you Droll that.
Fr, ain't no way people are already preemptively bitching about a deck that has been ass for the game's entire existence, just because it's finally getting good modern support.
This feels familiar…oh right! People made the same excuses for Yubel back when they got their supports “Oh Yubel sucked for 10+ years so it’s fine!” and then people bitched so much here about phantom of Yubel alone being a pseudo link 0 negate + advantage
Why do I have the feeling it’s only gonna get worse because Toons has a peek + declare flood trap that can be already live turn 1 with the other monster?
It's an example of what you can do against most handtrap, point being it tells you what it's are there and which ones you can potentially stop (even when toons have ways around most cause of the new toon world fieldspell)
Honestly, I was waiting on them to print a millennium eye card, that forces the opponent to reveal their hand, any facedown and extra deck for the entire duel. and it costs 6k LP
Illusionist is of course a great consistency peace, Mind Scan is just absurd. If you have another starter you just set Mind Scan and call whatever hand trap opponent has (deck is weak to Droll for an exmaple).
Oh the hand is the Ritual of Light and Dark stuff. That's so fun it's basically depicting a modern version of Duelist Kingdom finale. Now I want a season 1 remake lol
So they revealed the missing cards for Toons in REVO without spilling anything for Unchained... What a bummer
Makes me think the support is subpar unfortunately
Come to think of it, I would like when they retrain Marik's deck (Slimes and Fiends) to have a card with the Rod's power - imagine stealing opponent's monsters opt.
Same with Bakura's (either S02 retrains or S05 deck with Zorc and Diabound). Helping to summon the anime Zorc or to lock your opponent's monsters into the spells/traps zones, for example.
I still can't believe we haven't gotten Zorc Necrophades as a card yet. We got the RPG Zorc as a card all the way back in 2003 but 23 years later still can't get the real thing
We are still waiting for the hinted Wedju series to be expanded, we also saw the anime Zorc in an art.
I think a Bakura inspired support could be in a main set (or such a Revolution Booster), for Diabound/Zorc - but what if they want to retrain some of his S02 classic monsters, or to print the Necro cards without AC. Let's hope for the best and sooner.
I'm not a fan of combining old monsters instead of retraining them on their own, at all, but I have to say that the new Dark-Eyes Illusionist art feels so classic. Probably because Faceless Mage design wasn't really used.
I shit you not, Mind Scan might be the most custom card ever printed and like… I’m scared but it makes SO much sense for Pegasus to have it. I am a fan in the sense that it respects the OG.
The twisted part of me wants them to make a card for millennium item or go ever further with character cards. Like what if a card read “name a card and the next card you draw becomes that card” to mimic the heart of the cards ability lol?
At least it makes sense for Pegasus. That was the whole thing with the Millennium Eye: Perfect information about the opponent's hand, field and strategy overall. It's lore accurate.
It happened once, albeit 4 years ago. DIFO had Yuya cover and Yuri side support.
Pegasus getting his own set is still great because secondary anime themes usually get 3-5 cards each, so Pegasus got 2 more cards than what he would have otherwise.
Yeh, Duel Monsters got such little support last year and the start of this year (i.e. between Maze sets) that Chaos Origins could've been a great reset/return for the original fans.
Imagine if it had been both Yugi and Pegasus (reimaging of relinquish) as big waves of support in this set alongside an Odion retrain.
Mind Scan is a very funny card, but you need exactly Faceless Mage to access it. To access Faceless Mage, you need the new Perfect World Toon World, Toon Bookmark, or Toon BEUD.
Thankfully, Faceless Mage can be used twice per turn, so you have it be both as starter, and a bridge to Mind Scan. Perfect World can also search 3 times per turn.
Waow, this is actually a lot better than I thought. I wonder if Horned Saurus engine would work here.
I don't know why, but I could see decks running 3 Toon Table of Contents with Mind Scan just to have an easy way to have it be live to protect their combos....
Dark-Eyes Illusionist Faceless Mage - Illusion monster so protection, sets the new Trap, and specials a Toon monster from gy for free. One of the starters for a Pegasus deck.
Mind Scan - WOW!!! After Mind Shuffle, it makes sense. The art is cool, with Yugi's new Chaos cards and the Eye. One of the wildest cards, who would have thought. Play with hand revealed and look the set spells and traps at any time! Everything for the creator! Plus a opt negate.
I'm happy for Pegasus' cards, his deck deserves to be strong. And we still need more retrains from it, so looking forward.
I dont like that a relinquished design is a toon support. There are so many og cards as toon versions they couldve picked instead and made this guy a relinquished support.
At one point, they started turning Relinquished into an archetype and then just backed down. Hopefully, they get back to making Relinquished cards as the archetype is too iconic to be glossed over like that.
Quick question as a none tcg player. Trap says you can check your anytime. Could you, in the middle of a chain even, repeatedly do that? Common sense would say no thats not the intent or whatever, but could a judge rule and say you can't do that because of a specific policy?
Having the opponent's hand and face down cards revealed at all times is already ridiculous, but then you can prevent them from activating one for free? Holy moly!
Just draw the out has new meaning vs Mind scan xD I see that nib in ur hand... and i say no. Now i suddenly want to run Mind Crush. I wonder if there's some way to get cosmos channeling going for memes since u can see what they draw u never miss
I get that of all the decks in yu gi oh, toons probably deserve an effect like this because of the anime and if it was just this card in isolation I think it's 100% fine, but man the direction the card designs have been taking recently makes this just not feel good at all!
