Pros

Able to destroy any card on the field, if your dice roll is not 1 or 6.
Effect can be used continuously as long as you have cards to discard as cost.

Cons

Weak ATK and DEF stats.
Need to discard cards as cost to use effect.

Tips

Resources for Discard

Here are some cards you can discard as cost for the effect of Snipe Hunter.

When discarded, The Fabled Ganashia revives himself with an additional 200 attack.
Sinister Serpent can be retrieved from the graveyard during each of your standby phases, but keep in mind if he is sent to the graveyard the turn he was retrieved he will be banished during your opponent's end phase.
Discard Gusto Griffin to special summon another Gusto monster from your deck. A good target for this is Caam, Serenity of Gusto because she is able to recycle Gusto Griffin back into the deck for Reuse and also draw a card to replenish your hand.
Volcanic Shell, while in the graveyard, can search another copy of himself from the deck. This allows you to effectively replenish your hand and lets you activate the effect of Snipe hunter up to 3 times for the cost of 1 card in your hand while also thinning your deck.
You can discard Thunder Dragon to the Graveyard, draw 2 more Thunder Dragons to your Hand, and use as cost for Sniper Hunter.

Dice Support

Dice Re-Roll

You can use this trap card to get another chance at rolling dice.

Tips

This card’s discarding effect is treated as a cost to use its effect, therefore it does not support Dark World archetypes.
This card also support decks that requires discard, like Dark Necrofear, in order to utilize their effects from the graveyard.

This could be good for a Dark Necrofear deck.

I agree as I did play the TCG when this card was unlimited. I'm still surprised to see this card as Konami normally doesn't bring out any cards into duel links that's on the TCG's banned/restricted list

I just don't like how risky this guy is. 1/3 chance to fail is pretty significant. You might discard 2-3 cards and wipe your opponent's field, or you might have just lost 2-3 cards for nothing. Either way, the chance of losing more cards than your opponent is pretty big after multiple uses.

obviously you would want to combine it with cards that you want sent to the graveyard. If you discard bacon saver who gives a 🔥 if you roll a 1 or a 6. You could (in theory) summon turn 1 dark necrofear with this guy while simultaneously clearing cards. add him in a bamboo/jar of avarice deck and watch the surrenders roll in

This card has been unlimited again for years upon years

this is the most OP Card in the game atm... you can activate his effect as many as you like to... if your oponent controls per example 3 cards you can just clear his side of the field...

Very good in combination with "Skill Successor" and "Phalanx Pike".

it's a good card, but it costs, like u said you can activate it as many times as possible, but you will end up discarding a lot of cards, if you don't finish them of quick enough, you will have a tough time to win since you gambled all your resources away

Of course you have 5 wins in a row. Everytime you try a new deck, the Konami algorithm don't know how to counter it and let you won 3 or 5 times. Btw, we're late January, there are not a lot of good players left in Legend.

<< Anonymous(snipe me)

yes sure Reply

you are right, but if you use cards like "Volcanic Shell" you can use the effect of Snipe Hunter 3 times by paying 1000 LP instead of wasting 3 Cards you just waste 1 Card... there are a lot of possibilities to snipe 3-4 times by just send 1 or 2 Cards to the GY.
I'll post my deck later this afternoon so you can see which Cards are good in combination

Inb4: WHY I CANT ACTIVATE DARK WORLD EFFECT?? THIS CARD IS BUGGED!!!

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

because it's not an effect like dark world lightning the discard part of a card would only work with dark world effects if it's in the last part the effect rather than the first that's why cards like these do not work like tribute to the doomed

Because discarding is a cost of snipe hunter

THIS CArd is good with the bujin deck (not sure of the spelling of bujin) since they function well at the grave yard but it also have a down side because it will be really hard to win because you will end up not being able to use that much cards.My suggestion is don't rely on it's effect to much.
