Game Point" once per turn.

EDIT: Game Point only gets S/T now because combo'd with Hot Shot it would've been "Search 1 thing"

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Hot Shot is a Level 4 and under member, which U.A. really need at times; since Midfielder is required to really do things in terms of setup (unless you have Signing Deal on hand to get him out of the Deck).

 

In terms of its monster effect, I only see it being used to search these three cards (in here) when Tributed. Limitation effect won't bother you too much, since U.A. tend not to use the Extra Deck much anyway (they will, in the case of these cards).

 

Either way, it's still a Level 4 and under monster, which eases the need to always have Midfielder on hand.

 

----------------

 

Big Serve's ATK boosting effect is outclassed by that of Stadium to a certain extent, given that Serve only triggers when a Level 7+ is NSed.

Just as a sidenote, U.A. generally don't Tribute Summon stuff like Blockbacker, Dreadnought Dunker, Playmaker (or their L7+ things); for their Level 5-6 stuff, they do (and usually with Stormforth).

 

Its second effect is helpful for triggering Stadium's search effect again, however.

 

Monster effect-wise, Rival Rebounder beats it out revival-wise (effect isn't negated + has a bit more freedom with how it triggers upon summoning + easier to summon), however this can net you a draw. Indeed, U.A. need the draw power to get to their key cards at times; especially the aforementioned Signing Deal / Midfielder until we get a new Level 4 - member to facilitate things.

 

Usage-wise, I could see this feasibly used if you Pendulum Summoned things, then use them as Tribute fodder (or Feast of the Wild in the older days).

 

Scale-wise, it can summon up to Playmaker; but we're not using him any more because Dunker outclasses him.

Combo'd with Hot Shot, you can SS the entire cardpool + trigger Stadium.

 

----------------

 

Game Point's burn damage is rather minimal in the short-run, but definitely can prove threatening later on once your larger pieces are in the Graveyard.

 

Otherwise, it can retrieve used Stadiums that the opponent probably MST'd earlier (either that, or retrieve Signing Deal, Jersey, Tactics and/or Penalty Box). Since it can be P-Summoned repeatedly (assuming you have the scales set properly), you basically have free reign to retrieve your support cards over and over again.

 

Personally, I think you can buff its ATK/DEF a bit; although you're likely going to be using this to retrieve used support cards in the Graveyard.

 

Scale-wise, it cannot summon Midfielder or Hot Shot; but everything else is fair game.

 

----------------

 

Flavor-wise, U.A. generally don't use the Extra Deck (or very rarely, if they do), but Pendulums are a way to ease their summoning problems (being most of them are Level 5+).

Plus, they trigger Stadium's stat boost and definitely can get the necessary cards needed to trigger Turnover Tactics.
