in my opinion it is very stupid also. Having 1700 attack (which is considered really good) and the dumbest yet potentially most powerful effect is so unhealthy for this game. I wouldn't find it as bad if it were 1600 but being 1700 which is really good in this game with a pop effect is too much
Then how about Slate Warrior? Maybe you should be prepared if they released it.

With stats 2400/900 when flipped, this card is not a class above UR. Its weak to rotating cards, you'll have to protect it with a Kuribo, Econ, trap. Yes its second effect is great, but there are better cards to reach this.
Nah, i'm not even worried :D
