Destroy your opponent's only Monster but that's about it. Most Monsters these days do fit this card's requirements but Bottomless destroys and removes the Monster from play. The only Spell Card that summons Fusion Monsters! Certainly should be used on the decent Fusion Monsters no doubt! She packs 2000 DEF and not a lot of playability.

Any banned card deserves a 1/5 for being useless except in casual duels. This card is no exception. Same as DB1-EN113's comments. Here's a card that's the exact opposite: It's not playable so don't use it. Same as DB1-EN115's comments.

At last we have a semi-playable Monster! 2000 DEF lets him last longer than previous cards. A veteran of over 100 losing battles as his stats pale in comparison to even Aqua Madoor and this guy is hardly legendary except for being in probably the worst losing streak in history! If it actually destroyed the Dragon-Type Monsters, then I'd give it a slightly higher rating but that isn't the case so don't use this. About the only reason to use this cards with Monsters like Levia Dragon and Amphibius Bugroth but even A Legendary Ocean is better.

Why is he called Mammoth Graveyard? Maybe because he won't last long on the field and there will be a large pile of them in the Graveyard. No reason is enough to put him in your deck. "absolutely vicious in battle"....hardly! 1200 ATK isn't very vicious in battle at all with even stronger Monsters like Celtic Guardian can take this wolf down. I don't know what a 900 ATK Monster can manipulate but can very well be manipulated into destroying itself in battle. See a pattern with the last 6 cards? They all fail to be playable in any deck!

Come on, UDE, do you REALLY have to reprint cards this bad? It may have been reprinted but keep it out of your deck. I must admit, this artwork of DM is pretty cool, probably the best one thus far but his stats aren't very impressive when Summoned Skull rivals his ATK and is only one tribute. Use only in Yugi decks. Not very fierce with only 2300 ATK that even Tri-Horned Dragon (2350 ATK) can destroy. This is the rarity he should've been back in LOB. His stats are truly horrendous and make him a very unplayable Monster.

The highest DEF on a Level 4 thus far! Its DEF blocks even Jinzo and can negate pesky cards like Nobleman of Crossout! Its other effect and only 100 ATK give its rating 4/5. The strongest Normal Monster to date! 3000 ATK is enough to destroy Big Shield Gardna and Dark Sage! He most certainly is a giant....a giant waste of time and deck space! By all means find another Monster. One of Joey's signature Fusion Monsters in Battle City! The fact is, that statement doesn't make him anymore playable. Keep only in Joey decks.

Equip to the right Monster and your lifepoints could rise very quickly but that's not very likely to happen. A decent way to start any duel off! While normally only worthy of 2/5 stars, he can go head-to-head with BEWD and survive! Its summoning requirements are hardly worth a Monster with only 2800 ATK that lets you add a Spell Card to your hand from your deck.

Stick to MST. Bring back that Sangan and not worry about taking damage! However, it works for your opponent too. A decent substitute with the more powerful Monster Reborn banned from play! Very situational. It can give either player the better hand or the more horrible hand.

Respect Play without this card. With all the big Spell Cards already stopped from entering duels, there is no reason to use this card so don't. If you're lucky you can save your Monster but you won't be any luckier than that. Remove a surprise from your opponent but that's about it.

Choose the correct type and you could put a lockdown on your opponent's deck but still not a great card. Retrieve 3 Exodia pieces or 3 Normal Monsters with decent DEF! The downside is you can't choose Effect Monsters. With many decent Effect Monsters out there, this card is sure to deal at least 1000 damage! It stops the big Flip-Effect Monsters but this includes yours too. There will be no light at the end of the tunnel if you use this.

Use Draining Shield instead. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, which of these cards is the worst of all? I'm already rating it! It gives you 1000 lifepoints but you have to take Battle Damage first and that's why it's rating is only 2/5. It doesn't negate the card that forces you to discard in the first place. Thank goodness it's in a rarity worthy of its horribleness.

A card with the potential for 3000 more lifepoints. However, that isn't very likely. In fact the more likelihood will be that you'll gain less than 1000 lifepoints. This isn't the eye that sees all for if it did, it would know that this card isn't playable. Truth is, don't use this card. Use MST instead as you can play it straight from your hand. With Monster Reborn banned, this card is a decent substitute! Since it doesn't let you choose the mode of your Monster or Special Summon an opponent's Monster, it's rating is 3/5.

Keep in Yugi decks only. Why? It's way to situational anywhere else. You pick a random card in your opponent's hand and remove it from play. Odds aren't likely you'll pick anything good. Same as DB1-EN069's comments. Another card for Yugi only decks for it's just bad elsewhere. WAY to horrible to use outside Joey decks.

The 100 lifepoint payment isn't too bad and this card does stop Monsters like Gemini Elf and Spear Dragon from attacking but the monsters that escape this card will cause you to lose lifepoints. He joins the clan of Monsters whose effects keep it no higher than 2/5 but fail to make it a decent Monster. 2400 ATK in general gives him 3 stars but if equipped with a decent effect like this guy has, they get an extra star or two more, depending on the effect! An okay surprise for your opponent but it gives them a free Monster that can be tributed.

Monsters normally barely playable (like Molten Zombie) will now become playable as their ATK get a decent boost! Harpie Lady will get the necessary boost to become a decent 1800 ATK Monster with this! Plus it works with already strong Monsters like Slate Warrior too! Power up your BEWD to take down Guardian Angel Joan! Summoned Skull will have enough ATK to battle BEWD and take it out!
