Kuribancho

lv 1 LIGHT

Warrior/Effect

(This card is always treated as a "Kuriboh" Monster.)

When your opponents monster attacks, you can Special Summon this card from your hand in attack position, then, this card becomes the attack target. At the start of the damage step, if this card is attacked: increase this cards ATK equal to the ATK of the attacking monster until after damage calculation. If an opponents monster attacks directly, you can banish the card from your GY; the attacking monsters ATK becomes 0. You can only activate each effect of "Kuribancho" once per turn.

ATK/300 DEF/200

 

So Kuribancho acts similarly to Rainbow Kuriboh to how it has its hand and grave effects but this has a more offensive way of dealing with monsters as it can summon itself to become the ATK target and its ATK becomes equal that of the opponents with an additional 300 from its own ATK, then when an opponents monster attacks directly you can banish this to make its ATK 0.

 

In all Kuribancho is a decent all round card for any deck but will have the most effective use in Warrior Decks since it can be searched by ROTA.

I wouldn't waste ROTA to search this. That being said it's a fairly nice card to run in slower decks, forcing your opponent to play something to get around it. It's an instant battle kill protector which is really cool too. With the game getting more easy removel like drident, I don't think it'll be much of an issue.

Kuriboh + Honest? Sounds like a match in heaven, except a more or less redundant heaven. Seems you did more of a Battle Fader + Honest, which is a better match.

 

I see no problems with the card, other than that Honest's attack boost lasted until the End Phase rather than after Damage Calculations, which would be much better since you would be leaving a 300 ATK body in Attack Position, which doesn't sound worth it to me.
