LORE:To activate this effect, you must draw it for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, reveal it, and discard it: Shuffle 1 card on the field to the respective owner's Deck; you cannot Special Summon or Set monsters the turn you activate this effect. When this card is Normal Summoned, you can target 1 monster on the field; this card gains ATK equal to the target's original ATK. If your opponent would activate a card effect that activates in the Graveyard, you can banish this card from your Graveyard; negate it.

Soooo 

From Graveyard:Odd kind of D.D. Crow

From the field: Better Copycat

From the hand: can be non-targeting removal for anything

 

Well it looks alright. OG Copycat isn't exactly seeing much play, so a card that does that +900 original ATK is fine. The removal effect is like the RUM - The Seventh One, and that's not gonna be incredibly consistent unless the rest of your deck can search out everything else, thinning out the deck, and leaving this card in to be drawn faster after said searchers. I can think of a couple decks like that.

 

The D.D. Crow effect is interesting, its only flaw would be getting into the Graveyard when you can't kick off the discarding effect, but it has that field effect that helps it pass by.

 

 

 

So all in all, all effects are not a problem, and even combined don't represent a power problem as far as I can see.
However, as for my personal thoughts on this card go, I think those effects are unrelated enough to each other that the card feels somewhat messy and random.
Situational but powerful field removal that can be cushioned by being a big beater, and either way end up as a Grave disruption as an added bonus. IDK.... It's not broken by any means but it feels like one of the three effects is more than it should have....

Honestly, you could go without the drawbacks on the 1st effect. Case in point, it comes down to sheer luck and nothing else for it to work, which is a drawback in and of itself, due to the fact Ygo as a whole has very little Deck manipulating cards that aren't gimmicky at all, and the whole 'can only use it after being drawn via normal draw' gives it an extremely small window of opportunity.

 

Rest of it is fine, because the 2nd effect is just Copycat/it's not really gamebreaking or anything. 3rd effect can only really be used against oddly specific kinds of cards, and comes off as a little underwhelming.
