Evaluation

RatingB+

Pros

  • Prevents all non-Spirit monsters from activating effects.
  • Can continuously lock-out monster effects.
  • Good stats.

Cons

  • Returns to the hand during the End Phase.

Tips

Normal Summon

Since this monster cannot be Special Summoned, you can use effects like Double Summon or Arrivalrivals to give you an extra Normal Summon for this card.

Staying on the Field

Izanagi lets you keep your Spirit monsters on the field while he is face-up. Mirror of Yata has a similar effect but only on the monster it is equipped to, it also provides the monster with one-time protection from destruction.

Rock Stun

Refers to a strategy which involves using Rock-type monsters with effects that restrict your opponent's plays. Koa'ki Meiru Wall and Koa'ki Meiru Sandman deck go well with this card because they negate your opponent's Spell and Trap cards respectively while Amano-Iwato prevents them from using monster effects. Amano-Iwato returning to your hand can then be used for both Koa'ki Meiru monster's maintenance cost.

We have no Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, cherries and those things are what made this card used. Best thing to stop is, maybe SK and Skull meister. Probably not worth running because we’re not hand trap heavy meta

We already have cards to keep Spirits on the field even during opponent's turn.

Use Spiritual Energy Settle Machine or Izanagi to keep Amano-Iwato in the field even during opponent's turn.

Actually it is good in the TCG not only because it can prevent handtraps, but also because most of the negation in the tcg is in the form of monster effects, so you can just summon this, activate raigeki and there's absolutely nothing your opponent can do

Why do we get this card again? The deck is already dead.....

Wow a Jinzo for monsters, that's amazing. Will this card synergize with the rock type monsters of the upcoming box? Maybe with ties of the brethern?

Ties of the Brethren doesn’t work with this for one simple reason: “Cannot be Special Summoned”

Going back to the hand has nothing to do with its card type.
If you want to keep him on the field, you should negate its own effect during each end phase

You only need to negate that effect once. Afterwards, it won't return to your hand anymore.

This card allows you to use Kidmodo to special summon during your turn, then go into the battle phase.
Kidmodo normally stops you from battling the turn it is special summoned, but not with this card.

From what I read on this card text, it also is a hard counter to Yubel and Magician Girls monster effects.

Nice !

Buster blader + DNA cannot negate the effect of this card because it doesn't require activation. You can say its effect is innate.

Cards like this one are: D-hero Decider, Amazoness swordswoman, Elemental HERO wildheart.

It's the skill that is broken, not the card. Only Tea with Duel Standby runs this card. Just like no one plays Cup of Ace except Sartorius with Master of Destiny

Some decks actually do run Cup of Ace without the skill, like Warm Wurm and Iron Chains mill
<< Anonymous

Well yeah, that's a different case. In that case whether Cup of Ace lets you draw or lets your opponent draw barely matters, you draw you get more key cards, opponent draw then it's easier to mill them to death.

No.. this deck will remain playable. As matter of fact, decks rarely die in the ladder, i mean.. look at samurais or darklords. Nothing happened to them, Amano will be less popular but still viable.

lol are you an idiot? Duel Standby is the only way and only reason Amano is even played.

They killed the skill = they killed the deck. Period.

Why a lot of the people using Duel, Standby! don't also use mirror of Yata for more consistency?

No, Duel Standby makes the deck actually work. Play a few games with it and you’ll see why pretty quickly

He's NOT saying Duel Standby should be changed with Mirror of Yata, though.

He said why not use both for more consistency.

this card works wonders against many deck types: but gets absolutely wrecked by U.A.s Ultra Athlete's "Effect" is not triggered normally - It's more like the passive ability to Special Summon BY returning a card, NOT by returning the card and then getting to special summon. Make sense? Also, if you're unsure, look for colons and the word "if". Usually giveaways that Amano Iwato will shut them down. (p.s. vamps are actually a little hard too but noooobody plays that sh** anymore lol)
