Card's Name: Rocket Guy


Attribute: Fire


Level: ✪✪✪✪


Pyro/Effect


Lore:


You can Special Summon this card by discarding 1 card from your hand and paying 200 Life Points. This card's name is also treated as "Shy Guy" while it is on the field or in the graveyard. Once per turn: You can send this card from the field to the graveyard; inflict damage to opponent equal to this card's ATK or Destroy 1 Level 5 or lower monster on the field. This card can attack your opponent directly, if there are no monster in the same column. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by a direct attack: Destroy this card.

 

ATK/DEF

Basically, a fast-paced card that can be used to inflict burn damage, like a shooting rocket, and also direct attack, if the conditions are met.

This card's name is also treated as "Shy Guy" while it is on the field or in the Graveyard. Once per turn: You can send this card you control to the Graveyard; inflict 1000 damage to your opponent OR destroy 1 Level 4 or lower monster on the field. If there is no monster in the same column as this card, it can attack your opponent directly. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent by a direct attack: Destroy this card, then you lose 800 LP.

The column thing hasn't been touched on since Cyberdark Impact (back in 2007-ish), so a proper PSCT wording is yet to be determined (but I got it otherwise).

 

Anyway, this card is revival fodder for that last card you posted earlier (however the 16 2/3% chance comes up) and comes with two options; either you can burn the opponent or blow up something. In most cases, I'd say the LP burn being applied more often, since either most Decks will go for an Xyz or otherwise higher-Level monster or for the stuff that is eligible to be blown up, they either switch out or are protected from effect destruction. The column effect was a somewhat interesting concept when it was released, but it's really gimmicky (coupled with it blowing itself up if it mounts a direct attack; either from effect OR if your opponent has a clear board when you attack).

 

I don't know; this card probably has a small niche for either non-targeting destruction or some burn damage, but that's about it in terms of stuff you'll most likely see.

Curious as to why you didn't update the card with OCG. Also, the text you've written under the card says it's Level 3. I know this is nitpicking, but, I never liked cards which have "this card's name is treated as "X"" for no other reason than lore.

 

Anyway, the burn damage is alright, I guess, and the effect is certainly up to flavour, but I feel the card is too...flashy to see much use. I mean, burn is not really done much, and when it is done, it is either done in small amounts rather spikingly, or in large amounts but combined with stalling. I don't want to waste my Normal Summon on a card which does a maximum of 1000 LP difference between me and my opponent, and then is gone. Yes, I could summon it back, but there are better cards to bring out. I mean, Volcanic queen does the 1000 damage a lot better. The column effect is nice, but again, I don't really want to attack directly. I don't want to blow up this card unless this card will benefit me more than just plain tributing it, as your opponent can drowning mirror force or something.
