Ruthless Assailant

[Arctic55]

Originally was part of Amazoness support I was making.  But Amazoness was too far gone, so repurposed to general.

Lore: When this card declares an attack, you can target 1 Face-up monster your opponent controls; change that target's battle position. If you do, this card gains 300 ATK until the end of the turn.

Lore Update 1: When this card declares an attack, you can target 1 Face-up monster your opponent controls; change that target's battle position. If you do, this card gains 300 ATK until the end of the turn.

 

Original Lore: When this card declares an attack while a field spell is on the field: You can target 1 Face-up monster your opponent controls; change that target's battle position.

This card would be good for softening up an opponent's monster, but it requires a Field Spell to pull off.

Also the fact that most common bosses (i.e. Kozmo ships) can't be targeted or their DEF is too high for this to kill even with the softening.

 

You could get away with just having it blow up the monster it attacks; it'll be more effective in the long run than simply changing battle position (it doesn't care if opponent can be targeted or not).

Is the revised version better?

[Trebuchet MS]

The effect brings to mind Gravekeeper's Assailant, only that it's not field-reliant and it has slightly lower ATK to work with.

 

It's not terrible, but it's not quite outstanding either.
