Infinite Impermanence

Trap Normal

Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; negate its effects (until the end of this turn), then, if this card was Set before activation and is on the field at resolution, for the rest of this turn all other Spell/Trap effects in this column are negated. If you control no cards, you can activate this card from your hand.

Negate 1 monster from hand if you control no cards

Tips:

• Being an actual hand Trap Card, this card cannot be negated by Called by the Grave.
• This card can be search in specific Trap oriented like Labrynth.
• The on-field effect is, especially already-on-field Continuous Spell/Trap Card (include Floodgate) and Spell Effect of Pendulum Card.

	Branded Despia	Which ever they open first: 1. - Lubellion the Searing Dragon (if they open with Branded Fusion, and no Branded Lost on field) - Aluber the Jester of Despia / Springans Kitt (if they open with summon Aluber/Kitt. otherwise they will search Branded Lost and prevent us from using Imperm on Fusion) (however only if they don't have Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous on the field, since they can use Cartesia Quick effect to dodge the negate) 2. Albion the Branded Dragon (If started with Fusion Deployment- Cartesia)- Same use as Lubellion the Searing, preventing the further fusion summoning. 3. Guiding Quem, the Virtuous- Effect to dump a monster that mentions Fallen of Albaz, as negating the card for the whole turn will severely impact the ability to build a board.	Lubellion they have to discard a card for cost, and they usually play it as a 1 of 90% of the time, and it's the best resource looper, so if you imperm it they won't get it back	Usable	View Edit

	Chimera	Gazelle the King of Mythical Claws Nightmare Apprentice Big-Winged Berfomet	Chimera wants to bridge to Fiendsmith or Azamina cards through Link and Synchro. Only Imperm Berfomet if you think they're running pure Fusion version with Pure Chimera, Hecahands, Luce, or Yubel. For Gazelle, They use it to search HERO Necrom/Berformet OR Chimera Fusion. For Nightmare Apprentice, They use it to search Cornfield OR Elzette. For Beformet, They search use it to search Chimera monster and Chimera Fusion, +2 for them but locks them into Fusion cards. Caution: They can dodge the Imperm with Chimera Fusion in the hand. Caution: They can negate the Imperm if they have Cornfield in the GY and "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast" fusion card on the field. If you think they already have a Chimera Fusion on their hand want to stop them from building a certain route for Azamina and Fiendsmith routes: Imperm Fiendsmith Sequence, It stops them from building King Ceasar or Desirae, useful if you have a Nibiru or Bystial as follow up and they haven't normal summoned yet. After Elzette activates fusion to fuse with a Chimera name: Imperm Azamina Moa Regina, It stops them from reviving Elzette, and stops them from making Chaos Angel to search Sinful Spoils Deception and go to Azamina Silvia for their Omni-negate.

Many lines for Ice Barrier do not make a synchro prior to summoning Coral Anemone. -Negating Lancea during your turn completely shuts down the ability to floodgate you for that turn, though you still have to worry about the effect once it leaves field (Cheats out an Ice Barrier Synchro, though depending on how the chain functions, the synchro can miss timing)	Great	View Edit

Noroi is a 1-card Rank 5 if it's allowed to special summon, and Izuna functions as one as well, if you've used a monster effect in hand or GY. Imperming Ripper allows you to still have a spot to Nibiru while also stopping the deck from searching, but you might not get to 5 summons there.

This build will also use ED monsters that have GY effect, such as Garura for even more advantage or disruption. Erebus' handrip/spin is pretty self explanatory, and will be down one card if the Monarch player goes first.

Do not use if you know they have Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage! available, as they can chain this so that the targeted monster is no longer on field at resolution, meaning the effect isn't negated. The same can also be achieved with Forbidden Droplet if they're going 2nd, another common card used in Sky Striker.

Use it immediately when your opponent summons it onto the field, because if you let it activate its effect, Imperm will be useless. Samsara D Lotus should be the priority. 2. Spirit of Yubel can dodge the target effect with Unchained Soul of Sharvara or Gruesome Grave Squirmer, so consider this when using Imperm on it. 3. If your opponent starts their combo with Dark Beckoning Beast, using Imperm here will help you stop their combo. 4. When your opponent starts their combo with Fiendsmith, use Imperm on Sequence. This prevents them from accessing D/D/D Wave High King Caesar (2 times Special Summon negate) or Aerial Eater to create a bridge to Yubel.	Great	View Edit
