Many card guys will choose this card bitterly as a typical example of K Society's ass printing card, but in fact this may be a subtle misunderstanding, because K Society really wants the perverted effect of this card when it first printed this card.
In the Naia chapter of the game King's original anime DM, Seahorse has a duel with his father, Gangsaburo, and It is with this card that Gangsaburo sends parts of the Dark Grand Mage in the deck into his graveyard, and then uses the Necromancer Contract to summon the undead of Ekzodia. It can be said that this card exists for this construction. Some friends may have questions, aren't the cards in the anime all designed by Takahashi and Mr. Xi? This pot K Society can be thrown to Takahashi Sensei! However, in fact, DM's Naia chapter is the original plot of K Society, and Takahashi Sensei does not carry the pot. So KONAMI is really all bad things to do!
In the real card environment, Bitter Choice was released on April 22, 2000 in the Magic Ruler - Magic Ruler - "Magic Ruler" card pack. At that time, the environment did not effectively mobilize the cards of the cemetery except for the deceased Su Sheng, and the deceased Su Sheng was still in a restricted state, and the cards sent to the cemetery were largely "destroyed" to withdraw from the duel. The overall policy of underdeveloping the graveyard led the K Society to decide to materialize this anime card, although from the current point of view, this is simply unimaginable.
However, K-Society immediately realized its mistake, because the situation in the anime spread to reality. The effects of the Three-Eyed Monster and the Witch of the Black Forest in the Vol.6 card pack, released on November 18, 1999, are described as follows: When this card is sent to the graveyard, a monster with an attack power of less than 1500 is added to the hand from its own deck and the deck is shuffled. So the bitter choice did not have to throw the Dark Grand Mage's components into the graveyard to summon the undead, but directly selected 5 Three-Eyed Monsters and Black Forest Witches from the deck, and then instantly gathered 4 Dark Grand Mage components, if you have exactly 1 component in your hand, you can directly use the effect of the real Dark Grand Mage to win the duel.
Because of this dark structure, the bitter choice was directly upgraded from unlimited to a restriction card on January 1, 2002, and the Three-Eyed Monster and the Witch of the Black Forest were directly republished and then adjusted to the effect text in the new card pack "Steel Raiders - METAL RAIDERS -" launched as early as February 22, 2001, and the conditions for effect activation were limited to the need to be sent from the field to the graveyard to be triggered. This is what we now often call castration. We also know that this is not the last time the Three-Eyed Monster and the Black Forest Witch will be castrated.
However, the death of the Dark Grand Mage is not the end of the bitter choice of FTK, because on December 28, 2001, a GOD card in the FTK series was pushed out by the K Society appendix in the Weekly Shonen Shōnen ジンンプ 2002 4 5, which is a reversal of the world and the underworld. By stacking more than 15 cards in your own graveyard in the first round, and then launching a reversal between the world and the underworld, you can switch between the opponent's graveyard and the deck, instantly reducing the number of cards in the opponent's deck to zero, and then losing the situation that the convenience will face no card to draw during the draw stage.
And 1 bitter choice can immediately make the graveyard pile up 4 cards, and can also retrieve 1 hand, it seems to be tailored for the "now dark FTK". Unfortunately, in this period of time in 2002, the game king OCG rule ban table did not have a small black house in it, so the K Society designated the reversal of the present world and the underworld as a restriction card on October 1, 2002, and after the related cards such as the codex obliteration were restricted, it could not make a more severe punishment for the bitter choice, after all, this product was designated as a restriction card as early as the January table of the same year.
Although the "Now Dark FTK" deck was suppressed, the bitter choice was not idle in the following time, because soon the first OTK deck in the history of the Game King began to appear, which was the "Su Sheng Storm" deck. By sending high-level and high-attack monsters into the graveyard, and then using cards such as the voice of the dead Su Sheng and the living dead, a large number of high-attack monsters can be quickly summoned from inside the graveyard to play, and the monsters with a total attack power of more than 8000 points can be collected within one turn to complete the OTK. The bitter choice as a means of excellent mass accurate tomb stacking is naturally favored by this "Su Sheng Storm" deck.
However, also due to the lack of rules for the Little Black Room at that time, the other key cards of the "Su Sheng Storm" deck began to be restricted in 2003, but the bitter choice was already a restriction card, so the K Society still could not punish it more severely. Perhaps it was also at this time that K Society began to realize the necessity of the existence of the small black house. Then, on March 1, 2004, K Society officially decided to set up a small black house rule in the ban card table, and the bitter choice was to become a member of the first batch of banned card tables.
However, what people did not expect was that the K Society suddenly came to a wave of confusing operations on September 1, 2004, and the K Society released the bitter choice out of the small black house in September, and locked up the angel's handout in the small black room, and at the same time, the chaos dragon and the eight ji wu were sent in. At that time, the environment of 2004 was the first super mainstream card group "Chaos Control" card set in the history of the game king, and the field was almost the same as the pioneer messenger and the chaos black magician, so this wave sent the angel's handout into the small black house for a bitter choice to appear, most likely the K Society in order to suppress the popular chaos card group. After all, although the bitter choice can pile up the tomb, the choice of the card that adds the hand lies with the other party.
However, the K Society soon discovered that the bitter choice was a more difficult card to control than the angel's handout, so on March 1, 2005, the K Society immediately reversed the angel's charity with the bitter choice identity, and the angel's alms became a restriction card, and the bitter choice became a forbidden card again. And after this bitter choice was imprisoned, the K Society never let it out again. In the current environment, even the stupid burial of this kind of loss of a hand card to pile the tomb card must be limited, bitter choice 1 card can accurately pile 4 graves (including magic traps and monsters) + draw 1 card + compression card set, iron ass is to sit on the bottom of the prison.
