No idea guys, no idea at all.

DARK - level 5 ATK 800 DEF 600
"Spirit Reaper" + "Nightmare Horse"
This card is not destroyed as a result of battle. Destroy this card when it is targeted by the effect of a Spell, Trap or Effect Monster. This card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly even if there is a monster on your opponent's side of the field. If this card successfully attacks your opponent's Life Points directly, your opponent discards 1 card randomly from his/her hand.

Hmm...
[quote]With Ryu Senshi too high in level, and Dark Balter and Fiend Skull Dragon requiring fusion materials apparently not found in the cup, most of the fusion monsters compatible with Instant Fusion are pretty lame. But there's one exception: Reaper on the Nightmare.

If you're not familiar with it, Reaper on the Nightmare is a direct-attacking version of Spirit Reaper with 800 ATK. When you bring it out with Instant Fusion it can't attack, because Instant Fusion disallows it from doing so. But it can be Creature Swapped to the opponent's side of the field in order to give you a direct gateway to their life points, and that's just the first trick Instant Fusion opens up.

Instant Fusion counts as a proper fusion summon, so anything that it brings to the field can be brought back with Premature Burial or Call Of The Haunted. The sad thing about Reaper on the Nightmare is that it has Spirit Reaper's 電estroy this card when it's targeted by an effect・text, meaning you can't bring it back from the graveyard with Call and Premat. But, it shares one more thing in common with Spirit Reaper: it's a Zombie. Once it's time runs out and Instant Fusion destroys it at the end of the turn, Book of Life can bring it back. Then the fun starts! Reaper on the Nightmare proceeds to either sit on your field as an indestructible Blocker, or it attacks directly each turn for 800 damage, forcing a random discard from the opponent's hand.

If you're playing a Zombie deck, then this is a trick you should be considering. Not only can you support Reaper on the Nightmare with Book of Life, but you can also use Instant Fusion as a source of quick tribute fodder. Zombie decks frequently win when they don't draw tributes, special summoning them instead through Pyramid Turtle. They frequently lose when they do, because they draw into dead cards that they'd have to give up field presence in order to deploy. Whether you tribute that Giant Rat or not, you're taking a risk: if you don't tribute, and your field could get picked apart by overwhelming numbers anyways. But if you consolidate into a single tribute monster, and you open yourself up to Zaborg or Bottomless Trap Hole. Instant Fusion lets you have the best of both worlds: you can tribute summon for that Ryu Kokki or Vampire Lord without having to give up monsters on the field. [/quote]
