I'm so liking the senergy with eclipse wyvern here

 

That being said getting effect three off requires you to run the abysmal first version

[Hello my name is Enguin]

Open Lawnmower + 2 monsters +  this and go second with your 60 card deck vs a 40 card scrub.

There's a number of ways to kill your own deck pretty fast. Lightsworns, Spell Counters, and Lawn-mowing come to mind.

Now watch at your opponent survive the 15,000+ ATK fiend nuke and then counter it, and realize you cannot get another one on the board because you banished the requirements.

? > Profit.

It also works really well in a chaos type deck, especially considering it can function a nuke in combo with say Lightpulsar

 

Could make a very fun casual deck :)

[Slinky]

Sounds pretty sheet even for casual standards Winter.

Does it though? Card sets up Chaos pretty well

[spoiler=Here's the better image resolution of the card]

 

 

 

If you can mitigate or even take advantage of that cost, the card sounds pretty good. As a 0 ATK/DEF DARK, Dragon-Type, and Level 8 monster, there's plenty of ways to make it flow.

It's an alright beater, an alright Rank 8 material, an alright Chaos fodder, and a potential nuke It's fair that some of these are "alright" because it signed up for many of them. Though only test will really tell. It CAN be a tad heavy so it really needs to make use of all its traits in wherever it gets used in.

 

Just the Level, 0 DEF, DARK, and self-Summon won't be enough, if Schwarzschild Dragon was any indicator:

So not to get overhyped yet.

Trade-In, Allure engine could work too!

[Neochu-H]

gandora archetype huh, didn't see that coming.

[The Highlander]

So the third form is a downgrade from the second one, considering the second can clear the field as well, as well as striking for twice the attack points of the strongest of the cleared monsters ... at the very least it is somewhat easier to summon.

[Kaiji]

This a lot easier to use than i anticipated since Snow and Eclipse Wyvern exist

 

The 1 effect is probably all you need outside of specific indestructible mons, you just use Snow White to chain to itself multiple times to banish the rest of your grave and swing for game.

 

No hard OPT on its effects or its summons makes for hilarious ladders.

 

Oh and Normal summon vyon to set up this card via beatrice albeit a turn delay (relevant when going 1st)

Been testing this in YGOPro, and it is very efficient and, more importantly, resilient. Just one good draw can put you back in the game, or let you end it right there. I've gotten it up to 12000 ATK with >1000 LP, and only activated it's effect once.
