Attack: 1400 Defense: 400
Effect:
You may treat the Normal Summon of this monster
as a Special Summon. If you select Special Summon, your opponent may select
a Monster Card from his/her Graveyard and Special Summon the monster to the field.
This is a card you combo. You run it in a Relinquished deck to give your
opponent a monster for you to absorb. If you have snatch steal in hand, you
can give your opponent a monster to steal. If you have Raigeki, you can just
kill the monster. If you run Kycoo, you can remove all their monsters from
the Grave so they have no monsters to Special Summon. You can Tribute it
to bring out a stronger monster.
The problem is, you basically have to combo it for it to be worth anything,
unless you bring it out first turn. 1400 ATK as a Normal Summon just doesn't
cut it. This card is useless on its own, and that makes it weak. I'd much
prefer a Rock Spirit for a free Special Summon. It can't be killed by the
every popular Gemini, there are plenty of good EARTH monsters, and your opponent
doesn't get a free monster.
3/5 Useful if combo'd, but just a little too situational.
I like it! A good combo card and an awesome first turn play if you tribute it for something or play another monster along with it. The drawback is not that severe and if you're ready with some removal, then all the better. Play it early game to ignore the drawback altogether.
