Ability to interrupt combos of many decks
SP is a very good way to counter when facing decks that have high requirements on how to place monsters in the monster zone.
When facing Sky Striker, most of this archetype's spell cards require the player to have no monsters in the Main Monster Zone (MMZ) in order to activate them. If SP banishes a critical Sky Striker monster on your opponent's EMZ with effect (2), at End Phase that monster will return to the MMZ, not the EMZ. This will help you lock down quite a bit of Sky Striker disruption during your turn.
Banish goes to Kagari to prevent the opponent from summoning Hayate or Shizuku . Kagari returning in End Phase will also make it difficult for the opponent if he is still stuck in MMZ until your turn.
Shizuku, after being banned and returning in End Phase, will not be able to activate the search effect from the deck!
Multirole and Area Zero are also difficult to save during these phases because their effects can only be used during the Main Phase, while banned monsters return to the field in the End Phase.
Of course, Sky Striker players still have ways to deal with SP with Raye or Widow Anchor , but their extra deck resources will be severely depleted if they do not thoroughly deal with this monster.
Needless to say, pendulum decks now have link monsters with arrows pointing down to their MMZ ( x , q , y ) how important it is. You can target link monsters like Electrumite , Beyond the Pendulum which both reduces the ability of pendulum monsters to be re-summoned from the extra deck as well as disallowing them from being able to summon monsters with higher link ratings.
Cyberse decks with many link monsters also encounter many difficulties when facing SP .
If your opponent activates the effect at the wrong time, they will most likely be interrupted mid-combo because SP can banish any link monster to prevent them from being able to summon more monsters with higher link ratings. , or spam more link monsters.
Losing important arrows also makes it difficult for the opponent to use effects that require linked or co-linked. SP is always a danger to important monsters in the combo of Marincess ( Coral Anemone ) or @Ignister ( Dark Templar @Ignister ).
