Giant Trunade is a pretty powerful Spell and deserves to be Banned.  Of course, that shouldn’t happen until it’s the last form of essentially free mass Spell/Trap removal.  So that the S/T Zones can actually become a location to use for the kind of combos this game seems meant for… but which fail horribly in actual tests because someone always nukes a keep component if not the whole dang thing, and does it with ease.

 

This card was dropped to one because it does feed some pretty mean decks, often acting as a spare Heavy Storm and the like.  However it does encourage some cool combos (like with Premature Burial and Big Bang Shot), the problem comes that it can be slapped into almost any deck for help in simplifying the game.  That’s simplification in the negative way: you know, “Og clear field.  Og smash you!”

 

So this is a pretty good card for any deck that just needs a clear S/T Zone to hammer on the opponent, it’s a good choice if its absolutely death to rely on Heavy Storm to eliminate an opponent’s S/T Zone set up because that would kill your own desperately needed one, and all in all probably is worth a slot in your side deck.  Unless it’s Traditional, where we have Harpie's Feather Duster.
