Half Open or [Half Shut]?

[Monztor]

Activate by selecting 1 face-up monster on the field. The selected monster's ATK is halved until the End Phase, and it cannot be destroyed by battle.

 

Hmm....Discuss?

Fortunately we have a card called hedge guard that is just like this but much, much better.

[Monztor]

True. Hahaha. I forgot about that guy.

You could use it with Amazoness Swords Woman (how come "Swordsman" can be one word but "Swordswoman" can't?) to lower her ATK even more while inflicting more damage through her own effect AND surviving the battle, though once Amazoness Queen comes around, surviving battle wont be an issue for her x.o

 

Hedge Guard's protection from battle is only for THAT ONE BATTLE (Card Text: ...prevent a monster you control from being destroyed by this battle, but...") While its ATK is halved until the End Phase, it could easily be run over by the next monster that attacks it. If you're hoping for the monster to survive, Half Shut might be better in more cases.

There is also the lovely use of this being able to target opponent's monsters, meaning GB TECH!!! Or atleast test worthy tech. It's basically a shrink in that sense though, but now it halfs the ATK of the monster and not the original ATK.

In GBs, shrink is much better.

In GBs' date=' shrink is much better.
