Trishula at 3?!

Dragon / Synchro / Effect
"1 Tuner + 2 or more Non-Tuners"
When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can active this effect to remove
from play up to one card each from your opponent's hand, field and
Graveyard. (The card in the hand is chosen at random.)

This bad boy just got released in
the TCG in Duel Terminal 4. Currently, it is not legal for play.
However, it will be released around April (just after the March Ban
List). This guy is obviously going to have a huge effect on the
metagame.


But that's not why I thought I'd
draw attention to this guy. The main point I want to make is that
"Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is being released after the ban
list. Now, knowing Konami like I do, I have a sickening feeling that
this guy will be released at 3. My logic behind this comes from his
brother in arms, "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier". When Konami
released Brio in the TCG, Brio was released at 3. Of course, it sold
like wildfire due to how prolific Zombies were at the time. Brio
survived a whole ban list untouched.


Many decks wont be able to spam
this. Plant variants can produce 1, maybe 2 a game. However, there is 1
deck that is well known for being able to produce multiple level 9
synchros in one turn.


That deck is known as Infernity. We
all know how debilitating the "Infernity Launcher" limit was, but I
think the archetype has found salvation. Considering how easy this guy
is to summon, I think the aforementioned limit becomes trivial.


Most players can take a hit from
Trish, but 2 or 3 hits with this thing will kill you without question.
There is the problem of "Solemn Warning" & Co, but most Infernity
players these days use "Giant Trunade", "Trap Stun" and/or "Seven Tools
of the Bandit" for such reasons.


If you guys have any Infernity stuff, I highly suggest you hold on to it.
