Destiny HERO - Doom Lord

[Level 3/DARK/Warrior/Effect/ATK 600/DEF 800]

 

Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish that target. You cannot declare an attack the turn you activate this effect. You must control this face-up Attack Position card to activate and to resolve this effect. The banished monster returns to the opponent's side of the field, in the same battle position, during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.

 

 

 

If this guy didn't have the attack restriction, he'd have been much better IMO, and his incredibly weak stats, which they gave to most of the Level 6 or lower Destiny HEROs for some reason, doesn't help either.  He is searchable by RoTA of course, he can be recovered by Dark Eruption, he's a Destiny HERO for Destiny Draw, and he can be revived by Limit Reverse, but I think THE best use for this guy's effect is anti-Xyz shenanigans.  When this guy's effect is used on an Xyz, it comes back eventually, but it no longer has any Xyz Materials, which turns most Xyz's into vanillas, and his weak stats give him the advantage of getting around Bottomless.

I'd use him in some kind of weird burn Deck.

It gets rid of the xyz material.

The problem is, with the focus of Xyzs in this day, being level 3 in a deck dominated by level 4's is a major drawback. Especially if you decided to tech Destiny Mirage, which would make this guy kinda useless to summon with that.
