I think?

[Philemon]

I think there needs to be a card called Bulletproof Monk just to go with this card.

It's a little slow and what it does is not so valuable anymore now that Rank 4 got vogue.

[The Warden]

It can Normal Summon Goyo Guardian and reuse Scarme. There is NOTHING slow about this card.

"Slow" as in "something else has to set it up, and it must be Normal Summoned". As opposed to Tour Guide or Bujin Hirume, which are "fast", or Obedience Schooled, which is "instant".

This thread again and it looks like Crane Crane is going to Dante's Inferno for shenanigans with Xyz's. Still it was a shame that this card didn't turn out to be a Machine Monster in the end for Dupe as that would of been hilarious.

So? The setup isn't particularly difficult. Hell, Tour Guide will do it for you.

You made easy set-up sound terrible.

This vs Tour Guide in speed is like the difference between 2 Nascar cars. Yes, Crane Crane is technically "slower", but if you think it's so slow it's not that good you're kidding yourself.

I dunno. I just prefer cards that require zero setup and have zero possibility of being dead draws. This does cool Synchro things, but for Rank 3 I'd rather use Tour Guide and Soul Charge. Game's gotten too fast.

Soul Charge technically requires more setup than Crane Crane...

Silly boy, you don't use either this or Tour Guide in Burning Abyss, you use BOTH.

As for other decks, Tour Guide is indeed the best option for free Rank 3's, but this card can be helpful in decks that setup the graveyard fast and Synchro Summon Level 6's a lot, not to mention it has some unique niches - like being a Winged-Beast for Dragunity Knights and Earth for Meliae - TGU lacks. It's not something you should use over TGU if summoning Rank 3's is the only thing that matters to you - and you are not running something like Block Golem - , IMO, but for other uses or even to support TGU plays, if deckspace is enough, that's the critter to go.

Every card is potentially a dead draw, however remote the odds, so that's terrible logic.
