Nobleman of Crossout
 
Was reviewed in 02, 04, 06, and 08.  Then never again... till now.
 
Used to be a staple that most people used two of, back when flip effects were popular.  Now that flip effects (bar Shaddolls) are less common, it's more difficult to relate to just how good Nobleman exactly was.  Was great stuff from 2004-2008.
 
During the Synchro era 2009-2012, people were setting less monsters and Nobleman became dead.  But now with more floater monsters out there, people are setting.  Shaddolls set ; Burning Abyss sets ; Fire/Ice Hand set ; Geargia's set.  Most decks have something they set.  But how important setting monsters is varies from deck to deck, so this is now a borderline/good side deck option.

Nobleman of Crossout

Today we look at Nobleman of Crossout a card which is 12 years old, being first released in Pharaoh's Servant way back in 2002.
Nobleman of Crossout’s effect is quite nasty, it destroys and banishes a face-down monster. This alone is really good as it has the chance to permentaly remove a monster and allow you a chance for a direct attack. Also if it was a monster that benefited from going to the graveyard all the better.
 
What makes Nobleman of Crossout popular again is its second effect, which if the banished monster was a FLIP monster, both players must banish all copies from their deck. This makes this card an excellent counter against Shaddolls as all of their main deck monsters are FLIP effect monsters. This means you could get rid of potentially 3 cards with 1 card and the opponent won’t get any of the monsters’ effects.
 
Overall a great card for the side deck in a Shaddoll heavy environment. Even if you don’t face Shaddolls it can still have its uses.

Traditional: 3/5
