Not bad with Power of Dark skill. Gives you a solid 2130 def and is fodder for Dark Necrofear.

This card could give zombies some realistic beatdown ability... if we could find a way to keep the castle on the field. Maybe set this Summon Pumpking (using cost down/soul exchange). After 4 standby phases Pumpking > Blue Eyes.

I mean, it's faster than Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth if you don't have Moth to the Flame.

Funny how Panik (or darkness ruler) appeared in all games but not in duel links

Panik hasn't really appeared in that many games. Aside from the old pre-Battle City games, he appeared in what, Reshef of Destruction, Legacy of the Duelist and Nightmare Troubadour? All three of which had unusually large character lineups.

I wouldn't be opposed to him appearing given we have characters like Espa and Arkana with similar screen time, but him not being here isn't shocking, either.

I think you'll find that there are plenty of counters to those decks as well. And that metas are more complex than a bunch of people playing Red-Eyes or Blue-Eyes or Toons.
