ELECTRIC BRAIN AMPLIFIER
Equipment Magic
Can only be Equipped on an [Android Psycho Shocker].  While this card is Equipped, the Trap cards of the Equipped Monster's controlled are not negated by the Equipped Monster's effect.  If this card leaves the Field, destroy the Equipped Monster.
 
ERRATA: This card's activation and effect can't be negated,
 
Pros
-Allows you to use your own traps while Android Psycho Shocker/APS/Jinzo is on the field.
 
Cons
-Its a card that only works with a restricted-to-1 card.
-Gives APS another way to die.
 
This card was released in 308 (JPN) and AST (ENG).
 
This was one of the few Japanese cards to be errata'd.  The errata was put there to prevent an infinite loop lock with Imperial Order (now banned in Japanese).
This is a terrible card.
 
APS is restricted to 1 per deck, which makes it very VERY hard to use since Electric Brain Amplifier (EBA) is so specific.
 
You can't make a APS deck... then why use this card?
 
The simple fact is that your giving your opponent yet another way to get rid of APS.  The second EBA leaves the field, APS is destroyed.  Do you really want your monster to gain weakness against Magic/Trap effects now?  It's sad.
 
There are no exclusive combo with this card.  There is no advantage.  No one should use more then 5 traps per deck with APS in it.  This card is worthless.
 
1/10- Worthless.  Sad card.  Sure it's art is great, but it's honest-to-god, the worst card based on a monster.
 
Black Magician got Black Magic.  Blue Eyes White Dragon got Burst Stream of Destruction.  What's wrong with APS?
