The Boatman, because who doesn't like a bit of death? [Written]

The Boatman

LvL 4 | DARK | Fiend | Effect

1000/2000

Once per turn, when this card would be destroyed, you can discard 1 card; negate this card's destruction. Once per turn, during your End Phase, you can pay 1000 LP; Special summon 1 monster from your graveyard, but its ATK and DEF become 1000.

 

 

 

And before certain comunity hated by many even starts to think... no, this does not have to do with any recently popular games, so don't bother asking o-o.

Tra la l-- Nah, no, of course not.

 

An End Phase revival kinda hurts this card a bit, since the monster is deliberately weakened and rendered vulnerable to being run over, while you cannot use the revived monster for anything else. However, you do still get to trigger effects that happen on Special Summon, or even remedy the lowered stats with a monster that has an effect on being destroyed. Depending on how well the opponent can handle this last bit, they may just change their attention to attacking the Boatman itself.

 

A bit slow for the meta's tastes. Wonder how it will change if it didn't reduce stats.
