Not if you do it right.
And by that, I mean Fitting Room Heros

Hence the question mark. Fitting Room Heroes? Sounds...interesting.

Another way of doing it right: Cloudians.

Pfft...Cloudians already got their own (crappy-ish) draw power.

By the way Stranger's Compensation is worded, wouldn't it still work if the Token didn't have an effect?

Once tokens are removed from the field, they are destroyed.

Tokens can not be sent to the graveyard.

On-topic: Looks like a terrible card to me. Only usable in jank decks like... well what everyone's already said before. I'd rather use Common Charity if I had to run Vanillas.

Having Ultimate Offering can make this card good, especially since it's at three and Geminis do use it.

...I swear the most simplest common things in YGO are escaping my mind.

Common Charity does seem better than this card after seeing it. Common Charity's cost doesn't require you to get a monster onto the field, just a vanilla in the hand. On the other hand though, Stranger's Compensation does have the benefit of being a Spell.

It's starting to look like that the only Deck that can use this card decently is Gemini's xP

Random Theoretical Discussion: Opinions [b]if[/b] the card was a Quick-Play?

[Canadian]

A Spell version of common charity would have been a great idea. [s]Allure of Darkness?[/s]

I don't like wasting my summon for a +0.

Who ever said you had to waste a Summon? Just Special out some Vanilla with Enchanted Fitting Room or something if you don't want to waste a Normal Summon. And at the least, wouldn't this be a +1? (If you don't waste your Normal Summon that is).

That's why you use Cloudians/Fitting Room/Geminis.

Why include Cloudians in the discussion? This card isn't going to suddenly make people use them more often. Geminis on the other hand, are already used decently.

It's funny because all those decks are just aweful.

The Enchanting Fitting Room has a Deck!?!?! And I resent Gemini's being 'awful'. Their just somewhat slow since they have to be Re-Summoned and whatnot.

Oh and something that requires either the waste of a normal summon, an accurate prediction of your top 3 cards, a terrible collection of cards in a deck, or some bad combination of the other 3, along with clearing your field of a monster is sooo much better?

Lets not kid ourselves here.

Enchanting Fitting Room is basically the card that Gaia Drake revolves around. And Gemini's are just too slow, I'd rather use my summon per turn to get another monster out instead of banking on one to get the job done.

Cloudians are good, guys.
