You get to look at your opponent's hand, and choose to put a card back in their deck.... all for free. This is an extremely good card for hand advantage. It costs nothing, and that's a definite plus. By looking at your opponent's hand, you can prepare for the cards they play. With their most lethal one gone, and a knowledge of what they have, you can easily turn the game to your advantage.

4.1/5 It's just good.

You see your opponent's hand, you get rid of the card that will come back to kill you.  How nice is that?  A lot of people prefer Confiscation and Delinquent Duo to this card, but this card is also very useful.  It's the only one of the 3 that is really useful against the annoying Sinister Serpent, and it won't put a monster in your opponent's Graveyard for your opponent to get back via Monster Reborn, Premature Burial, or Call of the Haunted.  A lot of times the deck is the best place to put a card you don't want your opponent to get back.  And, The Forceful Sentry doesn't have a cost.

There are, however, many times when the deck isn't the best place for a card.  Your opponent can always get it back eventually.  You never truly get rid of the card. Your opponent can still search for it with Witch or Sangan if it fits the requirements, and there's always the chance that your opponent will draw it right back a turn or two later.  

All in all, though, I do like this card.  It doesn't give the hand advantage of Delinquent Duo, but it still puts a card in a place it can be tough to get it back from, and it's free.  I'll rate it at 4/5.  Most effective in a hand control deck, but can be useful in other decks as well.

Enh. Watered down version of Confiscation. Not much I can say about this one. It's free, yes, but the threat is back in your opponent's deck and you could've done something to stop it. Too bad for you.

3/5. Don't use it if you have something better for what you're afraid of.
