Field Spells often become the core of entire Decks to work arround their pressence, as no longer are specific boosts as were in the first years of the game. Current Field Spells will grant a wide number of advantages, often centered arround an archetype so their mechanics improve once is played. While these Field Spells are one-sided and rarely affect the opponent, those that do will either become favorable for both players with the same strategy, or a heavy punish if they aren’t prepared for its particular effects.
“Magical Mid-Breaker Field” is a Field Spell that provides a highly favorable effect to both players behind several restrictions, yet didn’t stop it fro gaining a limited status in the TCG. Only capable to be played right at the start of any of our Main Phases, “Mid-Breaker” makes every monster on the entire field immune against destructive and targetting effects coming from their respective opponents. The drawback of playing “Mid-Breaker” is that we cannot play or Set other Field Spells until itself is retired from the field, but given the massive protection that makes a massive number of cards unusable “Mid-Breaker” gained a strong reputation on Decks that likes to extend plays while avoiding as many risks as possible.
In terms of support “Mid-Breaker” is in a tough spot, as although has staple options like “Terraforming” to search it, due can only be played in our Main Phases it cannot depend on some options that can bring it out directly from the Deck besides “Set Rotation” as places it face-down. This is compensated due how effective its wide protection can become, as although the opponent also benefits of its pressence the fact that “Mid-Breaker” is played in our turn gives us the upper hand. With all our monsters being kept away of destruction and target effects, we can keep summoning all sorts of creatures as they’ll only have to worry for very particular counters. Despite popular cards like “Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring” can bypass the pressence of “Mid-Breaker” as aren’t targetting monsters, the fact we only have to worry about very particular cards makes our own defenses ready for those scenarios. This goes the same when confronting the Battle Phase, as due only very specific cards can stop our attacks we’ll be prepared against them while ignoring those that can’t deal with the Field Spell’s pressence. Once the opponent’s turn begins things might go against us, but given we know the gaps of “Mid-Breaker” we can easily prepare an array of disruptive effects that won’t be hindered by this Field Spell. Lastly, although playing it as soon the Main Phase begins will keep most of the opponent’s field out of danger, we can simply play any cards to clear their board in the Main Phase 1 to then pull out “Mid-Breaker” in Main Phase 2 once any potential threats are at a minimum.
“Magical Mid-Breaker Field” is a wonderful veil of protection against a variety of menaces that could interrupt our summons, reason why it gained a position in the banlist. “Mid-Breaker” might have a restrictive activation as well forbidding the use of any other Field Spells, but letting us worry for only a handful of cards that could stop our plays is a wonderful benefit even if the opponent also gains this advantage. Because we can obviously follow its activation with summons out of danger, we can prepare a strong board which not only the Field Spell supports but with effects that will further limit the opponent’s options, making the fact their monsters are protected from our effects near pointless. It might not be a Field Spell worth a whole Deck arround it given its support limitations, but its a card that barely has any noticeable demerits if we can immediately follow it with our best monsters.
