[spoiler=Ampitheatre - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts: Info]

Field Spell Card

 
Lore: Once per turn: You can shuffle 1 other "Gladiator Beast" card you control into the Deck; inflict 1000 damage to your opponent, then apply the returned card's effects that activate by returning itself to the Deck (if any). Once per turn: You can target 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster you control; your opponent takes no further damage this turn, also apply 1 of these Quick Effects.
● It cannot be destroyed by card effects this turn. 
● Banish it and either 1 Beast monster with 300 DEF or 1 "Colosseum - Cage of the Gladiator Beasts" from your GY, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Level 8 "Gladiator Beast" monster from your Deck or Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions. 

 

 

 
So how'd this convoluted Glad-Beast supporting Field Spell come into play? Well, I'm glad you asked little trooper. See...
 
Gladiator Beast Great Fortress was a card used by Battle Beast in the Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V anime, during its 122nd, 124th and 138th episodes of that titular show. Its ability allowed it to load up with Gladiator Beasts and negate the effects of everything else, as well as sack the fort-encased Beasts for a stack of damage each.  During Jack Atlas and Yuya's Duel against him, this was his trump card that he used to protect himself and challenged Yuya and Jack to break through it. It's a perfect home for someone who'd been forced into a corner as he had, still able to strike at the opponent from a self-thought-impenetrable defense. Oh, you meant the Ampitheatre when you said "convoluted Glad-Beast Field Spell"? Well, first:

And second, this was made to bring the relevant power that the Great Fortress (and through it, Assault Fort) gave to the Beasts into meatspace form, without sending people groping for their electron microscopes to suss it out. 
 
So the burn stayed, the destruction immunity (part of it) stayed, the sacking of other Gladiator Beast Field Spells to make something better for them stayed, and I added on the Test/Slave monsters (300 DEF covers them all, including my recently made Stag) for their sakes. 
 
And together, this Voltron of advantage for Gladiator Beasts will...ensure their placement in the meta. Hopefully. Or at least make them more than Tier 2 with benefits. That's fun, right?
 
Until the next card: reviews, revelry, you know the drill.
 
BD'S, signing off.
