Overlooked Removal? - "Karakuri Sazank"

[Loyalist]

Saw this card when looking for karakuri cards on eBay. Effect is pretty interesting.

Lore: This card must attack if able. When this face-up Attack Position card is selected as an attack target, change it to Defense Position. When this card is flipped face-up, select 1 face-up monster on the field, and send it to the Graveyard. During the turn this card is flipped face-up, it can attack your opponent directly.

 

It's effect is similar to Snowman Eater but rather than destroying cards it sends it to the graveyard, therefore bypassing a lot of cards e.g. Zenmaines, Stardust Etc.

Can also deal 1200 dmg to finish games if it survives long enough to be flip summoned.

 

It is good but is it good enough to be viable for today's meta?

Some Ninja variants maybe? Not worth it in pure Karakuri.

I was thinking it would be something that you could just side deck but it is viable in the ninja variant I suppose.

Too slow as a side option really. And in most decks where you'd use it, he's not searchable and doesn't further the deck goal. Just cockblocks your opponent.

I remember when this first came out; Everyone went crazy over it because it sends.
And it's ironic, as I pulled a copy of this in like the following week.

The only monster that's ever worth setting to control the board is Fossil Dyna. The utility of "sending" is not worth the fact it doesn't synergise with its own archetypes.
