Card Analysis

In a format where "boss monsters" rely on powerful continuous or triggered effects to maintain board control, Wattsquirrel acts as a surgical strike against your opponent's utility.

• The Power of Negation: Unlike cards that destroy, Wattsquirrel negates the effects of any monster it battles. This is particularly devastating against "floaters" (monsters that activate when destroyed) or monsters with protection effects that usually make them impossible to shift.

• Double Jeopardy: Because Wattsquirrel can attack twice during each Battle Phase, it can silence two different threats in a single turn. It effectively turns your opponent's field into a collection of "vanilla" beatsticks, stripping away their tactical advantages.

Wattsquirrel is uniquely effective against the heart of the current meta: Debris Dandy. Because its negation triggers at the end of the Damage Step, it effectively shuts down the following graveyard-reliant threats:

• Searchers & Spawners: It negates Sangan and Dandylion, preventing your opponent from searching their deck or spawning Fluff Tokens.

• Mill Engines: It stops Card Trooper from activating its "draw 1" effect when destroyed.

• Self-Revivers: It negates Glow-Up Bulb and Spore, making them unable to use their effects to revive themselves from the Graveyard later in the duel.

Pro Tip/Ruling

• The negation effect of Wattsquirrel is a Trigger Effect that activates at the end of the Damage Step.

• Once Wattsquirrel successfully battles a monster, that monster’s effects are negated as long as it remains face-up on the field or in the graveyard. Even if Wattsquirrel is destroyed during that battle, the negation still resolves.

• While Wattsquirrel has low ATK, its second attack allows it to "poke" for chip damage or clear a second set of effects after the first. If paired with Wattcube, it becomes a legitimate threat that can dismantle an established board.
