What is Burst Protocol?

Depicting the struggle of powers above and below, the “Forbidden” series of Quick-Play Spells started way back in 2009. Forbidden Crown is the sixth, and the one with the most effects (so far)!

As the saying goes, “heavy is the head that wears the crown.” The monster chosen by Forbidden Crown is hit with ALL of these effects for the rest of the turn:

Its effects are negated.
It can’t attack.
It can’t be destroyed.
It’s unaffected by card effects – except its own.
It can’t be Tributed, or used as Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Material.
And finally, neither player can use monster effects in response to the Crown to try and stop it.

Since the Crown, like all “Forbidden” Quick-Plays, can be used on either turn, you can use it on any monster, friend or foe, as offense or defense, depending on the situation. You can stop your opponent’s monster effects, disrupt their Summoning strategy by making a monster unusable as material, or make it indestructible while it’s stuck in Attack Position so you can run over it again and again to smash their Life Points. On the other hand, you can use it on your own monsters to protect them from enemy card effects, from being destroyed in battle, and from being used as material by your opponent. And since it opens so many possibilities, it’s a great card to Set if you’re going first, because it always has a great use.
