Worse than just about any Equip Card in the game, apart from the extra Life Point boost.

NA / NA
Destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Then, your opponent gains 1000 Life Points.
(Secret Rare)
Rating: 2 out of 5
Only works on face-up monsters, but maybe the 1000 point boost won't be enough? It is a letdown though.

Gil Garth
DARK Normal Monster Level 4 ATK: 1800
DEF: 1200		 Pendulum Scale
NA / NA
(Fiend / Normal)
This steel-armored terror machine ruthlessly strikes down enemies with its giant katana.
