When your opponent Summons a monster(s): Banish this card until your next Standby Phase.

Basically it would be a squash in the shape of sasquatch. His effect is based off the fact that cryptozoologist never really truly find big foot because he "disappears" the moment they see him.

To be honest, I would rather run Chainsaw Insect over this; sure, it does grant the opponent a card when it battles, but there's a monster out whenever opponent summons something. Though, if there are any cards that build off of you having no monsters out, then sure, guess it works (but don't recall any).

 

At least it's another beater for Skill Drain decks or something, so...

Isn't there a reason why cards like Evilswarm Thunderbird and PSY-Framelord Omega are good?

 

Sounds like a premier battle pack card, although I can't imagine it in competitive. That said, not giving card advantage to your opponent and having an arguably permanent 2400 beater is pretty useful. If your opponent wants to get rid of it, then they'll be wasting their resources and you have an opportunity to use something stronger.

 

You should probably Special Summon it if you can, since it doesn't combo into anything. Lonefire and Miracle Fertilizer would work well with it.

I mean not that one would usually want to build off a Deck with something like this, but....

 

Gorz could find himself in tandem with this guy. Additionally, couldn't you use that one card everybody was hyping earlier... What was it? Struggling Battle? http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Struggling_Battle

 

And I suppose Psy-Frames could use this guy because he provides temporary absence for them to do their stuff.http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/PSY-Frame

If it was 1800-1900 ATK and the effect was optional it would've been a lot better.

 

But if you want to keep it interesting you could also have it so that if a card or effect is activated it would be banished until the next phase rather than your next Standby Phase, and then it would have 2000-2100 ATK.

 

This would be interesting for a couple reasons

• It still effect dodges but is the fastest to come back from effect dodging.
• It can be stopped during the Battle Phase by any card effect
• You have to play carefully when using it
• You can exploit it in Banish Decks.

I think it should be DARK, as it would get more support over there with Recurring Nightmare, Escape from the Dark Dimension, and overall DARK Plants are a cool concept....

Not to mention that kind of plant is right up on point to look aesthetically pleasing this upcoming Halloween season.

 

Zero Force wants to use it so badly, but this card will banish itself upon the first Summon and your opponent will just keep Summoning more stuff. I get that it is because of the flavor, but if only we could word it in a way that compromised both things...

 

Maybe if it left a token behind or something, like a tree or a rock, because people can confuse things while looking for big foot.
