Usually something useful for Pendulum archtypes, however I wonder why Dinomist would need this, it does not address their core issue of searching their Spell/Trap line-up they are incredibly dependent on and is nice to have, however only really works if you can build your field (does not address going against an established board), does nothing during the opponent's turn and only adds some more power to push for damage.

The card itself is definitely a powerful addition to Dinomist (and objectively always worth using), however hardly makes them notably more playable.
