Tail Swipe is something we don’t see much of in this game: balanced Monster removal.  You have to have a Level 5 or higher Dinosaur to use it, but that just means it has to actually be played in a themed deck.  A real theme, since running that many high level Dinosaurs would clog a CC deck.  Now, if you have a Level 5 Dinosaur in play, you get to bounce two lower Level or Set Monsters from your opponent’s side of the field.  Presumably most players would do this after clearing out any potential problems from the opponent’s Spell/Trap Zones (far from a hard feat in this game).  Now your Level 5+ Dinosaur can go for a direct attack.  So, assuming you are running a deck that can get the behemoths into play at a reasonable pace, this is a pretty snazzy card.  Yes, destroying or removing a Monster from play would be a more effective and permanent means of dealing with it, but then the card probably wouldn’t be too balanced.  I mean, Dinosaurs have not only yesterday’s card, but a few others to make getting them into play pretty easy.  They also happen to have a nice “surprise I’m huge” Level 4 beatstick in Tyranno Infinity.  So all in all, you have a nice brute force tactic.  Dinosaur decks won’t want to run three of these, since they will only work some of the time, but since it’s a condition and not, say, coin or dice based, its still fairly dependable if you build your deck for it.  So I’d think most Dinosaur decks that embrace at least three Level 5 or higher Monsters would definitely want to run one or two of these.
