Question regarding Macrocosmos and the like and Pendulum cards

[ChaosBahamut]

If a card like Macrocosmos (causes cards that would go to the GY to be banished instead) is out, would that take priority over Pendulum cards being sent to the Extra Deck? (have a feeling it's yes, but can't hurt to ask)

They are banished. The pendulum mechanic of going to the extra deck is applied when the cards would go to the graveyard, since they are getting banished the pendulum mechanic is not applied.

Just as I figured.

Welp, that puts a hamper on my current deck idea. XD (now to look for cards that can retrieve banished cards; could use Necroface but that can be risky)

And now I find out Gravekeeper's Servant is NOT a Gravekeeper's exclusive card... (thinks evil thoughts)

I don't even remember whether it's technically a Gravekeeper's card. That said, the whole reason that Macro Cosmos et al are so good is that most decks nowadays treat the graveyard as a second hand. Although I guess it doesn't really matter, seeing as they can also go from empty board to 8k+ total ATK in one turn.

It's a Gravekeeper's card. However, Gravekeeper's does not have a card that searches "Gravekeeper's" Spells/Traps yet.

Not all decks can hope to build a board even remotely under macro hell drytron crumbles under it herald doesn't do anything its a sight to behold. I once beat a drytron with herald of arc light pass it was beautiful

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Oracle of the Herald". Must be Ritual Summoned. When your opponent would Special Summon a monster(s), OR activates a Spell/Trap Card, or a monster effect (Quick Effect): You can send 1 Fairy monster from your hand to the GY; negate the Special Summon or activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

Okay, that's hilarious. I mean, your opponent would have to brick pretty heavily or just be an imbecile to lose to Arc Light pass because they can just summon any of the Drytrons and punch over it before going into the rest of their combo, but the latter happens often enough that I still believe you.

Drytrons summon in defense they need at least 3 of them or the spell and even then that would of cost them pretty heavily unless ofc they just popped nova and that was that.
