It actually seems like a fun card.

Yet' date=' You can [i']EASILY[/i] play it.

 

And 2800 ATK generic beatstick ftw

 

I mean, it's not just added from the Deck, either. It's when a monster is added from anywhere (I'm assuming). That makes it all the more better.

Im gonna say Its just side deckable. However, I think I would have to see it in action in order to make a better judgement.

 

I think we really have to remember, how many cards are mained that place monsters in the hand? Theirs certainly TONS of them but how many are really mained, which would make this card work?

 

Also, when do the effects of cards that place monsters in the hand usually take effect? This is an important factor to.

 

It seems like to many factors apply, which makes this card a bit to situational, but Im still perplexed.

 

Also, what exactly would happen if battle occured between this card and Grand Mole?

Hm, what commonly-ran cards can this take advantage of? Gadgets, Charge of the Light Brigade, the now-Limited RotA and the occasional Sangan, Dark Eruption and Monster Reincarnation?

Then it becomes a one-shot 2800 ATK beatstick that blows up after you use it once, and it can only be Special Summoned from your hand? Maybe it can benefit from a summoned Brionac, but we don't have it anyway...

Besides, it's Level 7, which is non-compatible with Trade-In in case your opponent isn't running enough stuff for this to be useful to have in hand...

 

I'm in no way an authority on this game, and maybe I'm overlooking a ton of good cards that add monsters to the hand, but this doesn't strike me as all that great. :/

Maybe if it was level 6 or was DARK...or perhaps if it didn't just explode after one turn.

 

actually, it's two turns, your opponent's and yours.

 

and it is at the end phase, so it can be tribute food, it has 2800 ATK which is very nice, and it is even summonable by normal means.

 

monster reborn works on it, so it isn't a nomi, or even a semi nomi, and it doesn't kill itself after being summoned in any way but by it's own effect, so it is worth reviving.

 

the only bad part is that it must be your opponent that takes a monster FROM ANYWHERE and adds it to his hand, but there are a ton of cards out there that do that.

There are much better ways of Special Summoning beatsticks. It doesn't help that this can only come out in response to a specific action of the opponent (so if your opponent doesn't draw, say, Charge, you've got a dead card), that that action will almost always occur exclusively during your opponent's Main Phase 1, and that this self-destructs after only one turn.

Your best bet would be to use this in siding against LS, if they happen to main Charge, Monster Reincarnation, and/or Beckoning Light.

 

Not really worth it. If they pull Reincarnation and/or Beckoning Light, they're going for JD or triple Honest for game. If they're using Charge, they'll probably go for Lumina, and also by that time may have a Necro Gardna ready.

 

So, it's only good for an opening hand Charge, RoTA, or Sangan on your turn. Situational.

If you're planning to make actual use of it, more than attacking with it once and having it destroyed during the End Phase, you could use it in Monarchs.

 

However, to avoid it being a dead draw, which it easily can because it requires your opponent to do something, it needs another use.

 

I can't find any good ones.

I know it seems noobish of me' date=' but there's a card called Tribute Doll that could sort of work with this.

Why, yes. That is an excellent suggestion that makes both this card and Tribute Doll worth running, and you deserve a medal for coming up with that brilliant scheme.

I didn't mean competitively. Just for casual fun.

For "casual fun", you can run anything from Dancing Elf to Obnoxious Celtic Guard, if you want to.

 

Tribute Doll is a terrible suggestion. This card alone is better. And that's terrible.

All right, I get the point.

I personally don't think its worth the time

 

For one, it should have negated the "adding cards from Deck to hand" part and maybe destroy the selected card. Now that would have been awesome

 

So IMO, Thunder King Rai-Oh > Puppet King
