During either player's turn, you can tribute this card: All damage you take during this turn is halved. During your Main Phase while this card is in your Graveyard, you can banish it and target 3 other monsters in your Graveyard: Shuffle those targets into the Deck and draw 1 card.

 

A card from 2011 that I gave an OCG touch-up to. It was originally part of the "Great Brave" archetype that I never got around to finishing or even posting on the forum. Any thoughts?

First effect is not useful. It will generally mitigage more damage than leaving it Set, but you have to leave it face-up and they'll see it coming.

 

The second effect is ridiculous if this goes to the Graveyard from somewhere other than the field. It's a draw that you have to set up, but the setup is real easy.

 

Not going to say anything about Soul Charge because screw Soul Charge.

I agree.

 

Now that you mention it, this card is Daigusto Emeral without the need to Xyz.

 

Derp. Thanks for your input anyway. I could probably benefit from taking a little more time to think things through.

I'd use it for the third effect. Really, it is a pretty cool one. Of course there is a monsters with that kind of effect already, but being a splashable card makes it more interesting. Besides, the first effect is not really bad, it is also a useful one. Good standalone card.
