Greg's Review:

Here is my Review a while ago one of the 1st I did only thing to add is that now he is alright with the new ruling instead of a 4.2 I give him a 3.1/5 just above average this has seen batter days. Bazoo Review 7/16/03.  The new ruling killed this and playing it is not the smartest thing to do. Really essentially he is a previous popular and good card that now is not so great. If it were still magic traps and or monsters I would play 1-2 now I would never run one.

 

 
Nick's Review:

This card has a pretty weird history. At first I thought this card was one of the best LON cards. This card basically made beatdown decks. Back then I would have given it a 4.5/5 but thats why we are reviewing it again. Now since there was errata in it, you can now only remove monsters like(Kycoo and Skull Lair). This lowers its playibility 10 fold. I took it out and haven't played it since the new ruling ohh well it was good while it lasted. You really shouldn't play this card as much as you used to.

Now this card is average but since it's cool pick I give it an extra .5 so it's a 3.0/5
Casual
It's a fun card so play it 4.25/5
Sealed/Limited
1600 is good and since you will probably have crappy monsters in the grave it's a smart choice. 4.0/5

How can you not like a fat baboon that eats souls? 4.0
 

 
Keith's Review:

This card was all that and a bag of chips in LON. Originally, the card said that yoiu could remove any card, so traps and magics were included. This card, along with Skull Lair and Kycoo, reigned the new beatdown ages. But then,"it" came. The broccili tree more commonly known as Fiber Jar. Removing cards from the grave was a terrible thing to do. Kycoo reigned supreme right next to the new and improved control w/ yata decks. Then, a fatal thing which killed Bazoo happened. He fell on the floor and his oxygen tank fell off. Wait, that was old man Jenkins. Bazoo, Kycoo, and Skull Lair's ruling changed so you could only remove monsters. By then, people started playing 18 or less monsters, so they couldn't afford to remove them due to Fiber Jar. Since this is beginning to sound like a hisory lecture, I'm going to stop and leave ratings

  Casual 3(you won't belive how fun Fiber Jar decks can be)
Tourney 2.4(Fiber Jar is fun AND incredibly useful)

 

Knocked out's Review:

When this guy first came out, he was an awsome baboon that loved to feed of cards in the graveyard and just beatdown any monster in his path.  But since the new rulings on him from Upper Deck, he's not the funky baboob he use to be.  Instead he bacame a weak chimp.

When this guy first came out, he could get rid of any card from the graveyard,  but since the ruling, him, Kycoo the Ghost destroyer, and Skull lair are only alowed to remove monsters from the graveyard.  That being said, he lost quite a bit of power.  So is he still good?

Depends on the situation and deck.  If you and your opponent are going neck and neck with topdecks and you draw this guy and they have only 2000 lp left, well you made a good draw.  Plus, if you do use the effect, this is the strongest level four monster still in the game, second being Armor Axe.  A good deck for this guy is a beatdown or a beast/earth based deck.  Another excelent spot for him would be a deck based around crappy level four monsters with Skill Drain.  You could power him up, activate skill drain,  and he wouldn't lose his nice attack.  The question is, is he still worthy enough to be played?  That's really not for me to say.  A couple of mircle digs and a lot of monsters and this guy could be good in a deck, but is really worth it?  I mean you dont see many Necrofear decks worrying about getting the fiends back.  Their main concern is to take down the life points.  So until beast and earth decks can see more play, shoe box this guy or use as trade bait, unless you are a commited duelist willing to keep and play him.

Casual-  3.9  Its still fun to play

Tourny- 2.9 since the new rulings and with all the new cards i think the only card you ever want to see removed in your deck is a DD warrior lady

Draft-  4.6  take it.  4000 lp and a guy with a possible 2500 attack, you do the math
 


Ernest's Review:
 

OMG?! He used to be broken. Everybody played 2 if not 3 in their deck back, but now with the only monster removal ruling it's pretty much has been thrown to the side. Some people still play one of these, and I don't blame them. It's a great card still. Just a mid-game card and it hurts bad when it turns on you.  Soo...HAVE A WABOKU HANDY!!! If you wanna try to play this card I'd suggest you stick with playing 1 at max, especially since good decks these days run around 14-17 monsters only and rely heavily on magic and traps. I might experiment with this card some more. I would say it's only good mainly for only hitting directly, and not attacking face-dwon monsters and such.

Rate:      tourney-         5/10
             draft-             8/10
