Astral Elimination
Spell Card
Effect: You may only activate this card when a card your opponent controls is banished by your opponent. Pay half your life points then change all your opponent's cards that are banished face up face down. You opponent cannot activate cards or card effects in response to this card's activation.

How would this effect the game?

Wheres the AI artwork

Dunno what decks are used in yugioh currently. This feels like a side deck card though. If the deck doesnt rely on effects that require banished cards to be face up, then it is worthless.

Bump

If this could be activated in response to an opponent's card being banished from anywhere (like from their GY) and not just the field, it might actually be a decent side-deck option against decks that rely on banishing and recycling cards from the banished zone like Floowandereeze or Branded. But the amount of decks that regularly banish and recycle cards from their own field is even smaller, and the only ones I can think of off the top of my head (Kozmos and Weather Painters) are nowhere near meta.

Not as awful as some of your other past ideas, but still not a good card.
