Doesn't cost much to negate a Special Summon, but most Trap Monsters like this aren't very good.

Blazing Vortex (BLVO-EN078)
E.M.R.
TRAP / Normal Trap
Tribute 1 Machine monster, then target 1 card on the field for every 1000 original ATK of the Tributed monster; destroy those cards.
(Super Rare)

Rating: 1 out of 5
So destroying 2 cards means you need a monster with 2000+ ATK. Worse than Icarus Attack.

At least all War Rocks are Warriors thus far, giving this minor uses, but it's pretty typical for a Sneak Preview card.
