such a good card in stall decks. That would be the only sane reason to give your opponent a 3000 atk monster. It does hurt them by just sitting there but nowhere near as much as you would let them be without stalling. No idea what else to even say really. give them this, THEN play mask of restrict and swords of revealing light.... make sure you get the order CORRECT

3/5 cause i know there are some really fun things to do with this including tributing your opponent's monsters... then bouncing this back to your hand to do it again in a turn or 2.

Not to mention, idk, creature swap? Blow up their XYZ's or Syncros, drop a 3k on their side of the field, do anything to get a monster on your side of the field thats weak and preferably dead, and then smack with a 3k beatstick with little to no effort. Bonus points if indestructible walls like Marshmallon were on the field beforehand since this gets around that.

I LOVE THIS CARD!!!  I haven't used it in a million years, but it's pretty awesome.  It can get around any anti destruction (main example Stardust Dragon), and it's an easy 1000 damage assuming the opponent doesn't have a response.  If they use Solemn Warning then it's probably even better since they don't get a 3000 atk creature, they still lost 2 creatures, and they lost 2000 lp (which is equivalent to 2 turns with Lava Golem).  It's also funny if you get him back to your hand via Compulsory Evacuation Device or similar effects.

This card is unconditional removal of two creatures your opponent controls and it gets around all of the normal protection methods. The only downside is you lose your normal summon and the opponent gets a 3000 beaters. (Which still deals 1000 damage to them at the start of each turn.)

I love this card in every deck that has a decent chance to stall or plays enough other removal to not mind burning a removal spell on Lava Golem after killing two monsters with it.

Some epic combos that card work with this card are summoning it while you have a spirit reaper or marshmallon kind of monster.  They take damage and you block off all attacks.  It's quite devastating when pulled off.  This combo works really well against six sams and hero decks to the point where they can be crushed while you draw into the cards you need or until you burn them out.
