Curious to read opinions on this card. I find this really intriguing and still has me puzzled on its usefulness. I read it being compared to a replacement for Red Eyes Dragoon, or perhaps a downgrade, and in a way it is, but in another way it does something Dragoon doesn't. I find strange that it has a couple of downsides (the self-ATK reduction, and including itself in the banishment it it targets a Spellcaster), as if it needed nerfs somehow, then the lock from being used a material feels a bit random but at least it wards from opposing Super-Polys. It's not a Red Eyes monster so it's not a easy to drop as Dragoon, although it's still accessible through Magicalize Fusion. And personally I find the art super cool and IDK if it's tied to a series or archetype.
