Giragira Lancer (ANIME)

If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's side of the field. If you do, during your opponent's End Phase: Both players take 500 damage.

 

Discuss.

I'm suddenly REALLY hoping they make this guy into somewhat of an archetype, or at least, make more Giragiras.
Reason being: His artwork is flat-out amazing.

Okay, because Tag Team rules interpret "opponent" as any player that isn't you, this card makes sense to give your teammate, as Yuma did.

 

Why would Yuma run this normally? Under what circumstances would he WANT to give his opponent a 2200 monster and have both players take 500 damage the next turn?

yeah it doesn't make sense in any ways, and it is odd enough in how they are prepared with cards for unexpected tag duels compare to the ones who initiate tag duels would be the one who prepared cards that regard in that type of duel.

Guys, Yuma's deck changes faster then the card pool will allow.
As such, he works off plot devices. and only occasionally plays something good/cool.

Either way, if they release this IRL, I could totally see them either making this into a Cyber Dragon, OR just letting you Normal Summon it without Tributes, and only it's controller takes 500.
