	Deck	Chokepoint	Explanation	Impact	Link
	Branded Despia	- Branded Fusion - Branded Opening - Fusion Deployment	Banishing cards sent to GY can prevent a lot of recursion and EP plays, however, Branded plays enough in-engine removal that getting rid of Retaliating is not an issue.	Usable	View Edit
	Dracotail	On spell effect.	Banish card to avoid recursion.	Great	View Edit
	Enneacraft		Enneacraft has no cards that play into Retaliating "C".	Bad	View Edit
	Fire King	- Circle of the Fire Kings	First of all you can't activate Retaliating "C" in response to the SS of Fire King Sanctuary, so the only possible tharget is Circle of the Fire Kings, or Onslaught of the Fire Kings but it's not really a great card. The impact depends on how fast they can remove the floodgate.	Usable	View Edit
	Gem-Knight	Chain to their Fusion spell	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Gimmick Puppet	Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force	Acts the same as Shifter, except it can only be used quite late into the game. It can still have high impact.	Great	View Edit
	Memento		Since Memento heavely depends on GY, this can also end turns. Can be activated in response of cards like Mementotlan Bone Party, Mementotlan Fusion and Goblin Biker Grand Breakout.	Usable	View Edit
	Mitsurugi		Mitsurugi tributed Trigger Effects activate from where they end up in after being tributed. In case Retaliating C on the field, Mitsurugi tributed Trigger Effects would still activate from the banish zone.	Bad	View Edit
	P.U.N.K	Emergency Teleport	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
	Pendulum Magician	Chain to Wings of Light	Pendulum cards are also banished under Retaliating "C"	Usable	View Edit
	Runick		Not Yet	Usable	View Edit
	Sky Striker	Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!	Since Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage! sends a card on resolution, the player is forced to banish a card they control and no Special Summoning occurs since Linkage must send a card to the GY to fully resolve. Linkage also banished, The on-field effect of Retaliating "C" kills Sky Striker's ability to gain card advantage since there is no recursion from banishment.	Great	View Edit
	Tenyi		The deck can use it as free synchro material for a Synchro 8 play	Bad	View Edit
	Umi	Sea Stealth II	You can use it on the summon and the banishes are good, but you may lose it immediately to the summon of the floodgate	Usable	View Edit
