This card is a personal
favorite of mine. The reason? Hand destruction = lock
down. But, lets first look at the stats. Hmmm 1000/700....
that's pretty much crap, no bad for an effect monster though. You
aren't gonna take down any BEWDs anytime soon with this mon. But,
what you can do is prevent your opponent from ever playing that card at
all.
The beauty of White Magical Hat
lies in its effect of card destruction. Every you attack your
opponent directly with this monster, they lose a RANDOM card for their
hand. That could be the Raigeki your opponent was saving for just
the right moment. Even more, with every direct attack, your opponent
loses an option. They can choose one less card to play. With
such small hand sizes in the game, losing those options can be
devastating.
Of course, WMH is weak, but once coupled with
Demon's Axe, this baby is a 4-star, hand destruction monster. Slap
down a Robbin' Goblin', then that's TWO cards for every attack. Once
your opponents hand is gone, their left playing topdeck, not a good thing
in any card game. Put this card in a Discard Deck, otherwise in a
Beatdown, the low stats will certainly slow the deck down. For the
lack of versatility, (slow, low stats) but sheer power in its effect, I
give this card a 3.5 now, and a 4.25 later when Discard becomes more
powerful. I like this card, at least until Don Zaruug comes out
(ATK1400, choose between hand/deck destruction, BAM! I win)
Rating: 3.5
