Level 4 EARTH Dinosaur-Type Effect Monster
ATK 2000
DEF 1200
You can only use this card name’s (2) effect once per turn.
(1) Cannot attack directly.
(2) If this card is banished: You can Special Summon this card, but it gains 200 ATK for each of your currently banished Dinosaur-Type monsters.

Oh snap, we finally got the SS on banish card and it's a Level 4 too, quite nice. Only thing is, it's kind of a weird card to use in other Decks, Dinosaurs of course are going to like this, having 2000 ATK is pretty good, even if it can't attack.

[Lee Cheng Men]

Nice! Another great Dinosaur!

[~British Soul~]

I do like that they gave it an effect to coincide with the other banish stuff this set. Better that they did that rather than leave it as-is (effect 1).

Giant Rex... more like Giant Spinosaurus.

Ahh, good old Giant Rex. Nice to see they FINALLY got around to printing this damn thing. And they gave it a pretty solid buff to boot.

Funnily enough despite it being used in GX, I remember its appearances in DM more

Love how it reads "but it gains", as though it gaining ATK was a bad thing.

[Just Crouton]

bout damn time!

My thoughts, too. It should have been "and' or "also" or something with a positive connotation.

It may not be able to attack directly, but summoning it after banishing it for the Tyranno boss or Miscellaneousaurus and then go for Laggia or a Rank4 should be fun.

[The Nyx Avatar]

Nice. I'm glad they've made a banish-triggering card. There's plenty of cards that activate their effects when they're destroyed, but there's very few that do that when they're banished. Most notably Necroface. You don't even need to use this with Dinosaurs; it's just preferred for the ATK increases.

A staple in Reshef of Destruction.

That thing is 319 cost, with the glacial pace that you gain cost points or whatever they were called of Reshef of destruction there's no way youll have that thing until endgame

[TF2_The_Scout]

Why does it say it gains ATK like it's a bad thing?

[Blake]

On one hand, it's more live as a 4-card engine than UnDai.

 

on the other it doesn't make Link spooder

org mass-produced rushed translations. They just tossed in "BUT,,,," on a lot of actually positive effects.

 

 

 

Anyways, in True Dinos it's a nice one-of. It being earth with a free summon is something you can't complain about, and it definitely has its use. What's unfortunate is that you're not going to run more than like, one (MAYBE TWO IF YOU'RE FEELING SPICY?) copy and the most reliable way to send it to the grave, being Oviraptor, is going to have spicier stuff it's going to want to snatch first.

 

It kind of just ends up being a tech that's fun to meme with when you see it, but I don't think it's necessarily going to be a hallmark of the deck's plays, especially when often times you're banishing Misc. for dat level 1 tuner and not really much for anything else. You kinda gotta go outta your way to really use it sometimes, is what I'm saying.
