Wow,
I haven’t done a COTD review since… like…
September or something…
Longest…
Hiatus… EVER
Anyways,
to the card of the day…
Relinquished!
Spellcaster/Ritual/Effect
Monster
Dark/1/0/0
This monster can take on the ATK and DEF of 1
opponent's monster on the field (a face-down monster
results in an ATK and DEF of 0). Treat the selected
monster as an Equip Spell Card and use it to equip
"Relinquished". You may use this effect
only once per turn and can equip
"Relinquished" with only 1 monster at a
time. When your opponent's monster attacks this
monster with an ATK higher than
"Relinquished", the equipped monster is
destroyed instead of "Relinquished". Any
Life Point damage you receive from the attacking
monster when "Relinquished" is equipped is
also inflicted on your opponent.

That
= long effect… but that’s ok.
Well.
I’ve never used this card before, although
I have used its bigger, better, badder brother,
Thousand Eyes Restrict… I still run one in my
deck… actually, I don’t even OWN one of these
cards (or a polymerization for that matter… I use
a poor-man’s fusion technique… long story,
suffice to say I’m still good at inventing
legitimate combos, despite the fact that I haven’t
been following the game since oh… Labyrinth of
Nightmare)…
Right,
so now you know that I know nothing about the
current metagame… but that’s ok, because I can
still give my two cents on cards.
I
like this card.
Simple as that.
I like letting my opponent summon a strong
monster and then taking it out from under their
noses. On
top of that, to destroy it they have to catch this
guy “naked” to destroy it.
On top of THAT, if they do get it
“naked”, they will proceed to destroy their OWN
monster and inflict damage on their OWN life points
first.
I
don’t know the current metagame, but I still know
that that’s damned good.
Oh,
did I mention that you have to play the ritual card
AND sacrifice a monster first?
As much as it sucks to have to have the
ritual card, you have to sacrifice all of one-star
worth’s of monsters… and that’s a pittance
compared to the kick-ass monster you’re about to
get onto the field.
Oh, did I also mention that (unless I’m
TOTALLY behind, in which case, I quit) its also a
special summon?
This card rocks.
4/5
– the highest rating I feel I can give because I
don’t know how it stands against the current game
