Ok this week I would figure I would do a week of cards that many think they suck (at least where I live) But that I have also seen work good in tourney decks.

So first off this week we have Painful Choice. Right off the bat as soon as the MRL restrict list came out this was on it. Many could have cared less and some even took the time to wonder why it was on it. Well mainly because of the power to thin your deck by 5 cards 1/8 of a 40 card deck that means if you were aloud to legally in a tourney run 3 you could take out 15 cards from your deck and with Magician of Faith Oh my god. So that is the main reason.

This I like because of it's many uses. Some look at it as It is a 1 for 5 deal but you are wrong. Not  mentioning thinning your deck by 5 cards you also get to add one to your hand. So you are getting a ridiculous amount of speed in your deck with this card. This can also can be helpful in many summoning some yet to come and getting out sinister with a 100% chance whether they pick it for you to keep or not. Some of the summonings this may be helpful in is getting out Exodia Necross, Dark Necrofear and the future CED or Chaos Emperor Dragon, which is only playable because of this card and so many of the good dark and light monsters we have. There are many more combos to be said but that is all I can think off that you will ever play in a deck.

good for almost any deck IMO I don't really play it but if you got an open spto be my guest.

4/5 in the right deck~~~

tourney or Casual

It's a 5 for 1 deal. Only good in exodia decks, burn decks, and kill yourself decks. I wouldn't put it anywhere else. Not much more to it.
