Arguably the worst HERO to ever exist due to the terrible restriction on its effect, even the vanilla Clayman is still better, as it's at least a wall.
^It is. A player won a YCS back in 2013 using a Bubble Beat deck, not that you duel links noobs would know...

That deck was horribly gimmicky and there are tons of better Xyz strategies. Even Duel Links has better options for Xyz materials even though Xyz monsters aren't even a thing yet.
Not to mention, as the above anon says, even DL has far better options now than Bubble Beat. DL has tons of much better/powerful cards that didn't exist yet back in 2013.
What does the fact that we're in 2020 have anything to do with Bubbleman being a better card than Clayman and also useful as a Xyz material, which is how the discussion started? What an imbecile argument...
So what if Bubble Beat isn't a top tier deck anymore? This isn't what the discussion is about, rettard.
