[Rock / Effect]

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by sending the top 4 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard when a Rock-Type monster in your possession is destroyed by battle. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can target 1 facedown monster on the field; change that monster to face-up Attack or Defense Position. 

ATK 1000 / DEF 2500

Nice Art, but is it worth it ??? i don't think so, the effect isn't all that good imo + it's a little Hard to summon

Perhaps you can elaborate? Why do you feel the effect isn't as good? What changes do you think would make the card better?

Considering that it is pretty Hard to summon it need a better effect to balance things out and flipping face-downs up isn't really something as good as Banishing or Returning to Hands so instead of trying to meet the requirement for its summon I'd personally rather summon something better and easier to summon even ..... + 1000 ATK is terribly low

It could've been better if it had More ATK or Like I mentioned a Better effect

Actually, the summoning condition isn't that hard to fulfill, seeing as monsters dying in battle happens pretty frequently in Yugioh, having 4 cards in your deck for it to mill even more so. Plus, many decks use the Graveyard a lot nowadays, including the deck(s) that Megarock Savage is likely to be run in.

 

Its ATK is pretty bad, true, but its DEF makes up for it, sitting at 2500. Monsters don't need to have high ATK to be good.

 

As for its effect, it works very well in the right kind of deck, i.e. Flip Rocks, which is the deck I assume this card was made for. In other decks, yeah it's kinda bad, but so are the vast majority of Yugioh cards, custom and real.

this probably has a sarcastic overtone but eh I'm too lazy to find the other one

 

Not sure why I wanted to defend this one, it's honestly sheet. The reason it was ""good"" was because it was part of a limited set that used rocks and summoned Megarock Dragon. Needs an errata for real play though.
