Stats: Sasuke Samurai #3 is a Level 3 Light/Warrior Monster.  This is somewhat odd given the other two are both Wind/Warriors.  Being a Light monster is fine-Light Monsters have support, and are in high demand thanks to the “Chaos Monsters” that need to remove one (and a Dark monster) to be Special Summoned.  Warriors are well supported, so this is an excellent type to be.  Being a Level 3 is of course great-makes it a drop-an-play monster that can go under Gravity Bind.  No, I don’t see a lot of Gravity Bind decks, but whenever I stop worrying about them, then BAM!  I get blindsided by one.  Lastly for this section, are its actual ATK and DEF scores: both are 1000.  Given the effect and few ways I can see of making use of it, this might be the best for the ATK, though the DEF could be up to 1500 for what I have in mind.  As is, it is definitely legal for searching out via Witch of the Black Forest, Sangan, or Shining Angel’s effects. 

Effect(s): “When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, your opponent draws until his/her hand has 7 cards.”  Well, that’s interesting.  As far as effects go, that seems pretty lame.  I mean, your opponent won’t be forced to discard excessive cards until their End-Phase, so you probably just gave them some draw Power of Pokémon caliber-well, Pokémon Modified Format Caliber (most players seem to have 3-4 cards in hand).  Still, in Yu-Gi-Oh terms, you’re probably going to be giving them a double Pot of Greed with this.   

Uses/Combinations: I can see only one real use for this: depletion.  Well, another would be using Appropriate for an “aggressive Exodia”-deck, but there are better cards for that kind of trick so I am not counting that.  Anyway, in a depletion deck, it still should be a fall back guy-use it when you have some sick combo that needs the opponent to have a huge hand.  An obvious thing would be prior to using Card Destruction on them, or before flipping your own Morphing Jar.  There are a few other combos to build around this, but these are probably the best.  If you do find you use it a lot, then Secret Passage to the Treasure would all but guarantee the lil’ fella works.  I suppose if you want to get real crazy, you could combine it with a Spirit Monster themed deck, mainly for use with Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi, who makes the opponent discard their hand when it does Battle Damage to the opponent’s LP.  If you could actually hit with these two a few times together, you would win from decking out… but since you’d probably have to keep the field clear, you could also win buy the sheer damage you’d have done with the attacks. 

Ratings 

Casual: 3/5-Mainly because the deck idea is insane and fun, which are honestly important here-players who enjoy themselves seem to play better (as a general observation of mine), and the unexpected can throw an opponent off. 

Constructed: 2/5-I am probably being too generous here, but then again most players are trying to burn through there decks… so some unwanted assistance late game can finish them off, especially if you are prepared to handle whatever they dish out (say by having an Imperial Order ready and Waboku set). 

Limited: 3/5-I can’t really make up my mind here… most turns you’d probably just add one card… but in 20 card decks (note-if doing a starter-deck based event, consider the score like a 1.25/5) that can add up quick.  If you do catch them more or less empty handed, then that’s roughly half their remaining deck, even if it’s first turn! 

Summary

A quirky little card whose effect ironically needs to be even “more” helpful to hurt the opponent: 8-10 would really, really mean almost certain depletion.  Perhaps it would have been safer and better all around if it just made them draw a set, sizable number, like 4 cards.  That way multiples would help.
