Use Mirror Force instead. Still has some use though. Return that Cyber End Dragon that your opponent paid 5000 lifepoints for with Cyber Stein or another Monster with large summoning requirements! This card certainly is not the bomb. In fact, it's not even worth playing! Put the hurt on your opponent's lifepoints when he or she attacks with his or her One-Turn Kill Monster and win the duel in one turn!

Give me a second to count the ways this is playable. That didn't take long as there aren't any so don't even think about using this.

I'd say you're ready for ripping this card up or something else that involves destroying this, right? Thought so.

While not quite as good as MST, it still isn't as bad as RfI.

Draw power is good but not if you don't get what you need. It will still give you an extra chance at it though.

Bring those E-Heroes back to your hand so you can play Flame Wingman or Thunder Giant!

Discarding a card isn't worth adding a Monster back to your hand as CotH lets you revive the Monster to your field so use that instead except for Jaden decks.

The Change of Heart with a cost. Use this when absolutely necessary.

Wow, this card is so unplayable! Just don't use it.

This card can be good but don't count on it as most of the time, it won't help you.

While you have to discard a card, that isn't much of a cost if you get to destroy your opponent's best Monster. A decent card overall.

An overall good card!

A good way to revive those decent Warrior Monsters like Marauding Captain and Gearfried!

500 ATK boost isn't all that great and neither is the 500 point damage but use it in 3's it might be okay.

The Mystic Plasma Zone for EARTH Monsters. A GAF has 2700 ATK, WDG has 2200 ATK. Not too bad a card overall.

800 points isn't much to pay when it comes to resurrecting your best Monsters!

It's no wonder this deck is for beginners as no experienced duelist would use this atrocious card.

Only good for playing Ancient Gear Golem and nothing else.

Dragon decks are the only place this should see play if any.

I have one place for a card this bad: Jaden's deck so put it there only.

Cards this bad just don't fly, except in a strong wind so throw this card away.

Discard him and you take no damage! A nice card but the fact is, you can only use the effect during your opponent's Battle Phase.

Combine this with Just Desserts and that's potentially 5000 damage in one blow! Still, she's prone to Monster Removal.

Why only a 3? Well it has 0 DEF and is changed to Defense Position after attacking. Keep FAO out and he can do well though.

Horrible stats and a horrid effect make Monsters like this one unplayable so don't use this.

His 2000 DEF and requirement for a decent Fusion Monster are the only reasons why this card gets 2/5.

1600 ATK doesn't survive unless it has support so Jaden decks are the only place for this card.

An okay card for Exodia decks or just to have a better chance at getting what you need but overall not that great.

Retrieve Lightning Vortex, Hammer Shot or any other staple cards!

1900 makes for a decent Monster and this one sure is!

Use a more decent Monster like Dark Blade or Luster Dragon instead.

Not much of a hero with those stats but he's useful for getting Flame Wingman out.

See my comments on (YSD-EN007) Elemental Hero Avian for my comments on this.

Use this in Atem's deck if you must use this card.

Don't use this unless it's for a Warrior or EARTH deck.

Definitely one of the better Monsters in this set so far! If it had an effect, this card's rating might have been higher.

A good way to start a duel! Keep 1900 + ATK Monsters in mind though.
