It sounds like the def boost is permanent as long as he stays face up on the field.

No, the boost only lasts "during damage calculations" and goes away afterwords... Sadly.

Hax, the card doesn't specify that's only how long it lasts.  It just says that's when you can activate the boost.  How lame is that :(

It really doesn't matters if it lasts. The real question is: Can you activate multiple times during the same Damage Step? While I don't think so, if it does then this card becomes the card for Canyon OTK. Opponent attacks with Rai-Oh, dump 4 Normals with Canyon f-up, win. Well, even if it doesn't, it's still not a terrible card for the deck type. Whenever your opponent attacks, he's always at risk of getting a huge deal of damage even if he already knows that Elephant is Elephant. As such, it adds a much needed surprise factor to the deck.

And, uh, I think that's all this card has going for it. No way in hell you're using it in Gemks, the returning to hand effect is pretty pointless and even then his stats are pretty mediocre in overall. In your average Rock or Vanilla decks, I think I'd rather use Giant Soldier of Stone. At least he's immune to Fiendish and has more support. >.>


ADV: 3/10
ART: 7/10 (Pretty gems!)

so yeah. Not sure how this card is effective. Gets normal monsters in the grave. That defense is only good until that red dragon shows up.. Lol

3/5 cause it must have some good uses.
