Lore: Once per turn during your Main Phase you may take control of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls until the End Phase (this card cannot be tributed), and can attack with that monster instead of attacking with your own monsters. This cards ATK and DEF are equal to the amount of monsters your opponent controls x 500.

Could you post the lore? Then I'd review it.

Instead of naming the card, just put "This card's..." 6/10

Lore posted, Rochsters find fixed. Not sure what I was thinking there, thanks.

great card can be used for a quick synchro summon by gaining control of tuners.
9.5/10

Thanks for the positive reply, if you like this for Sychros especially make you should look at my post for "Tune Up Hero". Tell me what you think of that one.

It doens't take the most shrivelled of brains to comprehend by just looking at the name and stats that it can brain control opponents in one way or another. I see, I got it right.

The latter is a quite interesting LV 4 DARK Fiend (strikingly simular to Phantom of Chaos in many ways), which is helpful as the DARK have a lot of meta-wrecking support. It all depends on the effect now...

So basically it's a walking Change of Heart that can't tribute. Instead, it just snatches the opponent away and makes him attack his master. Sort of simular to [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Mutant_Mindmaster]Mutant Mindmaster[/url], except it can Synchro. Nice.

The ATK boost will only get it to be 1500 at its best, most likely 500 since you would have to be a troll or someone with wretched fate to not Synchro the thing you snatched. That makes it balanced.

I don't know, what sort of deck can run this? Not sure. But at least hey, it's partially original and it's usable. 8/10 - the pic can be better.

A little better... I forgot, tribute = Tribute. 7/10

Thanks for the replies, I'll capitalize tribute later when I edit the card.
