Card 4: DNA Surgery
Type: Continuous Trap
When you activate this card, declare 1 Type of monster. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all face-up monsters become the Type you declared.

This is a very fun combo card to be used for 4 main effects:
Combine with Insect Barrier to create a makeshift tornado wall
Combine with Limiter Removal to double the ATK of all monsters on the field (Use MST on this after and they don't get destroyed!)
Combine with Lord of D and your monsters are immune to targeting by card effects
Combine with Buster Blader/Dark Paladin for insane amounts of attack
Heck, you could make a whole deck about this card. It's quite useful. Unfortunatly, this isn't a card you can slip in any deck you like, which reduces it's playability
If you're going to make a deck around it, you'll need a fair amont of backup in the form of M/T negation (Magic Jammer and Seven Tools of the Bandit come to mind). A simple duster or MST can break your combo. This card can also be a horrible dead draw. Luckily, the effects you do get with these combos are easy enough to produce and quite significant, so it's not that bad.

+ Can create different combos
+ Low card amount needed to produce combos
+ Can negate opponent's type-based powerups
+ Unrestricted

- Can be a horrible dead draw
- Vunerable to negation, needs backup

Overall, can be a very fun theme for decks to build around, but can't be slipped into a deck casually.

Rating: 7/10
