While you have 5 or more of your cards are banished, face-down, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only Special Summon "Guide of Forsaken Souls" once per turn this way. You can shuffle 1 face-down banished card into the Deck, then draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Guide of Forsaken Souls" once per turn.

But yeah, this helps to benefit off of the aforementioned (though it's likely not the only one; I mention it here because that one is the most prevalent). Generally easy to summon beatstick and lets you recoup stuff that you accidentally banished. Though for wording, should probably specify "1 of your banished cards", unless this is intended to also plus off the opponent too.

 

Now what other card banishes face-down and is prevalent, besides Desires?

Eater of Millions for starters:  http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Eater_of_Millions

 

I would also mention the Toon Kingdom as it banishes stuff face-down upon activation, and banishes additional stuff to protect Toons... But, Toons are such a self-hindered Deck that this card would probably better fit in other Decks that just simply run Pot of Desires and perhaps even Eater of Millions.

 

As for other stuff that banishes face-down I think there is a few more, but they elude me... I am really pending on a few more things from Konami and probably going to make a few things of my own that use this banish, face-down mechanic discretely.

I like banishing effects (primarily removal on your opponent's cards) and interacting with banished cards (so Different Dimension/D.D. and more). So already I like where this one's going. But as stated before, yeah it helps recover stuff that's banished face-down. Sure, you could argue that you'd be drawing 3 cards if you follow up Pot of Desires with this, but it's not guaranteed as this could end up banished by that very card. So I'd say it's fair.

There is also Evenly Matched for banishing cards face-down, although this would only apply when you are on the receiving end of the Trap.

 

IDK about this one. Clearly it's intended to be played along Desires/Eater of Millions, and rewards you with a 2200/1000 Level6 body that gets you a draw and benefits from Zombie support, although it isn't exactly compatible with the Level4 Zombies. It can potentially do Synchros bigger than Level8 along Unizombie, as well as Rank6s with Il Blud and of course most Links, though. Plus the revival Zombies benefit from can let you use its draw effect repeatedly.
