They might as well be Zombies if they love the Graveyard so much. At least they'd have better support.

DEF: 1800
Pendulum Scale

The weaker the monster, the less it likely has to offer, but that's better than nothing.

Rating: 1 out of 5
An unnecessary restriction for two payments and a temporary ATK boost. The last effect is even worse.

Other copies can prove useful and it has two effects to use. Could be stronger for its Level though.

Banned right out of the box, negating what is likely one of the only selling points.
