This is basically the new Exodia. Instead of getting 5 cards into your hand, you have to get your opponent down to no usable cards. If you can do that, you have that instant victory. The question is, how easy it to pull off? I run a hand Manipulation deck myself, and I've found that the win is all too easy to pull off. You attack their clear field with yata every chance you get, and slowly run them out of cards by not letting them draw. Add in a Forceful Sentry, Confiscation, and Delinquent Duo, and the card is extremely effective.

Hand Manipulation decks were always good, but now they're even better. This card is so powerful that it even amazes me. Used in the right deck by the right person, it's probably the most lethal card in the game.

4.9/5  Exodia's greatest fear.

It's here.  The dreaded Eight Giant Crows.  The one card that can completely lock down your opponent and end the game.  Don't worry about the stats, they aren't important.  The effect is deadly, and game-ending.  

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need your opponent's hand to be completely empty for this to work.  You can use it to empty out their hand as they don't get to replace any cards they play with cards they draw, and then lock them down, or if they have Heavy Storm, Change of Heart, some tribute monster, or something else that won't be able to stop your Yata, you still win.

Yata-Garasu is the one card that Japanese players seriously wish was banned (yes, even more so than Devil Franken/Cyber-Stein).  That's how powerful this card is.

Be afraid.  Be VERY afraid.

Yata-Garasu This is one of the most disgusting cards I've ever seen. This card is STUPID good. Most of you are probably out there saying "But it only has 100 attack points! It's not worth being a secret rare!" Ho ho, you say that now. Let's imagine this situation, shall we?

You: Gemini Elf, Barrel Dragon. 2400 LP. Raigeki, Dark Hole, Tribute to the Doomed, and Change of Heart in your hand.

Them: Nothing in play, 100 LP. Dark Hole and Yata-Garasu in hand.

Who LOOKS like the victor? You do, of course. However, in one small move the game completely changes.

Dark Hole, Yata-Garasu, swing for 200. End of turn? Goes back to their hand. You can't kill it with anything in your hand and you don't get a chance to draw anything to kill it. It doesn't matter what he draws or plays. He can play the Yata-Garasu every single turn and kill you.

That's why it's restricted, friends. Fear it. 5/5
