Okay, I'm done now.

I really hated this card so much during its last format.  When it was finally banned, I found that I had a copy somewhere in one of my tins; I promptly torn it into confetti to celebrate, I $#!7 you not.

MEAN card, drawing it turn 1 puts you in such an advantageous position that your opponent will have a really hard time turning the tables on the duel. While not one of the most broken cards ever, it was a well deserved ban.

Does not encourage player interaction, other than "don't have 4 cards in hand so they have a dead topdeck".

There are other cards that do the same thing, but none of them are as generic or free as this. It's chainable to an attempt to destroy it, it shows you their hand, it lets you put anything back in the deck... yeah, it can stay banned a while.

Rather, don't have 3, so that they can't use it on you in the draw phase.

Which is even worse.

I got it just one week before it was banned. I got it along with an ultra Leviair and a super Duality, in exchange of my only Envoy of the Beginning, that I expected to be banned.

Never really got the chance to use this card.

I'd like it back at 1. It would actually do the format well now, a nice tech option that can be used to get rid of hand traps and other nasty things. Most decks probably wouldn't even run it, but it would be a cool option to have nonetheless.

Are you kidding me? This can easily screw your opponent over and guarantee you game.

Both trooper and this card.

A 1-for-1 that's only really good first turn is going to screw you over and guarantee game? It's dead later on and it can only select monsters unlike the other hand control cards. If you go back through history, the card wasn't even played until reasonably recently when the game naturally went downhill. In Goat Control it was at 3 yet nobody played it or cared about it. It deserves a limit, and there was a period of time where this card was very effective, but I don't think a ban is particularly justified anymore. Game has changed again to the point where this card wouldn't be very influential in winning games, the way it was a long time ago.
