Genex Ally Crusher

 This card is designed to support the Ally of Justice archetype because of its effect, as all of the Allies of Justice are DARK.

This card looks similar to a scope dog from the anime series Armored Trooper Votoms. It also bears a slight resemblance to the Mega Man character Search Man (particularly in his Battle Network incarnation).

{{RulingFlagged">TCGJudgeProgram =
"Genex Ally Crusher" must already be face-up on the field when the monster is Normal Summoned to your side of the field for you to be able to activate its effect.: Genex Ally Crusher VS Cloudians VS Soul Tower VS Puppet M

Player A (the turn player) controls a face-up "Genex Ally Crusher" and Player B controls a face-down "Bottomless Trap Hole". Player A Normal Summons "Breaker the Magical Warrior". Since after a successful Summon all Trigger Effects must be activated first before players can respond with other card effects to the Summon, Player B will not be able to activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" until Player A has the chance to activate the Trigger effect of "Genex Ally Crusher". There are two Trigger effects being activated at this moment, "Breaker the Magical Warrior" and "Genex Ally Crusher".
Chain link 1: "Breaker the Magical Warrior" (Mandatory Trigger effect that will place the counter on itself)
Chain link 2: "Genex Ally Crusher" (Optional Trigger effect)
Chain link 3: "Bottomless Trap Hole": Genex Ally Crusher

Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower: "Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower" would not count itself when Special Summoned. "Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower", similar to "Genex Ally Crusher", must already be face-up on the field when the monster is Summoned for you to be able to activate its effect.
