Mask of the Forlorn

 

 

Spell/Equip

 

When this card is equipped to a Monster, switch that card to Defense Position. The equipped Monster gains 500 DEF. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, target 1 Monster your opponent controls; that target loses 500 ATK.

Just keep in mind that the pic is already used on Gate Defender.

 

Anyway, it's essentially a generic DEF booster, which works well for either giving your monsters extra blocking power so opponent can't get rid of them as easily [though effect removal still exists]. If your opponent tries to get rid of it, they get their monster weakened up; though they can just circumvent that problem by using it as Xyz/Synchro or otherwise using their own Equips to undo the drops.

 

Of course, the monster this card is equipped to can't attack that turn you play it [unless monster can attack while in Defense Position; there are three monsters that wouldn't mind being forced to defend that turn, but one of them doesn't work well with this (referring to Superheavy Ben Kei)].
