No, JUCHEN, just stuff with a Call Cost of 2. A Call Cost of 1 is more acceptable.

Tyrant, I know that...okay, let's compare this card to Rising Flare. Rising Flare can destroy the center Monster immediately and let your Monsters and Items swing straight for your opponent. The Size 3s that it can't destroy, Barrier Breaker wouldn't be getting through by itself either. Which means dedicating more cards to the field, using a Link Attack, which I remind you has tons of counters.

And yes, I realize with Penetrate you block out Spells like Green Dragon Shield, Blue Dragon Shield, and Battle Aura Circle. But unless your opponent is in an extremely bad position, they're not gonna call a Monster with less than 4000 Defense to their Center, which is how much you need to be able to defend against Barrier Breaker. It just doesn't compare in any way to the other options.
