Sand Moth
Attrib: Earth
Type: Rock/Effect
Level:4
Atk: 1000
Def: 2000
When this face-down Defense Position card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, except as a result of battle, switch the original ATK and DEF of this card, and Special Summon it to your side of the field.

Notable Rulings:

-If a face-down “Sand Moth” is attacked by “Mystic Swordsman LV2” or “Sasuke Samurai” its effect will activate. But if it is attacked by “Drillroid” it will not activate since it will be face-up when it is destroyed by the effect of “Drillroid”.

-If the opponent controls your face-down “Sand Moth” and it is destroyed by a card effect, it will be Special Summoned to the owner’s side of the field.

-If “Sand Moth” is Special Summoned by its own effect, and then flipped face-down or removed from the field, its original ATK and DEF return to 1000 / 2000.



Man that's a wierd moth.

When I was searching in YVD to make a Moth deck and I saw this card, I was kind of happy because its effect seemed workable then I found out it was not an Insect type... bummer.

A moth that looks nothing like a moth............ Nice play Konami! XD

Otherwise, have fun getting it to work in today's meta.

Wouldn't it have it's effect more often? People usually destroy the field before attacking so they blow the feild and sand moth comes back just at 2000 attack of course though it's not that strong

Nowadays people also banish a lot more.

Out used to be so blah. Only time it used to work was those random mystic swordsman and shield crush... Now the random red dragon archfiend maybe... There are a lot more cards to wipe the field or at least destroy some f/d monsters, but this is just not really good, unless you destroy it yourself in a torrential tribute, or your own dark hole... ok so there is some pretty useful stuff since you can destroy it yourself, but still...

3/5 cause back in the day I didn't realize the fact that it doesn't say by your opponent's card effect, so it would've been a lot better and still is better than I have it credit for years ago
