You should not try to read the text on the card since I'ma change it a bit. Also, I made it back when I capitalized "hand" in this game.

[spoiler='Niu effect']You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by sending any number of Monster Cards on your side of the field to the Graveyard (except "Megablaze Dragon"). When this monster is Special Summoned by this effect: Inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent for each monster Tributed. You cannot inflict damage equal to or more than your opponent's life points with this effect. When this card destroys a monster by battle: You can Special Summon 1 "Megablaze Dragon" from your Deck.[/spoiler]

I made this back when Hieratics were being released and we (at least me) were all like "Welp, can't use the Tribute mechanic anymore." It probably doesn't help enough on its own end to be that useful in Hieratics. Then, after being told how rather unplayable this would be, I boosted it up a bit. The destroy-by-battle effect was to pop another card on the field AND SS another copy of itself. I really doubt the fixedness of that since Hydrogeddon exists. It's a Rekindling target since someone wanted me to make it a Rekindling target for the hell of it being a Rekindling target.

Putting aside the fact that you can't kill the opponent with the burn, this card does 4000 damage with Scapegoat for a -0 revival. It's also a Level 4 Dragon, has a recruiting effect with the same ATK as Flamvell Firedog, and yeah, it's a Rekindling target.

The original version was fairer since you can't use Tokens, but it's still insanely good. It shouldn't be able to revive itself with no net cost.

Yeah. I mean, even playing from the hand it's pretty ridiculous, the fact it can revive itself is pushing it.

Meh, I'll let it lose the revival effect then and turn it back to sending rather than Tributing.

Birdman, anyone? And even then you wouldn't be using up normal summon. The card is very abusable, as you can

a. Get out 3 of these in a single turn, if your opponent has monsters for it to munch on.
b. Inflict a crapload of easy damage to your opponent, especially with aforementioned bird man.

So, you could potentially win game with just 1 of these and a buncha monsters to sacrifice. 2-3K damage and then shock master for 1 card in hand doesn't seem fair to me. It's really not broken or drastically OP because using it is situational and risky, but I don't like its design. It just seems too abusable for my liking.
