SECRET RARE

Comments: Why UDE decided in reprinting a card from a pack found in MC2 boggles my mind but 1 thing's for sure this card has virtually no use in any deck.
MC2-EN005
Card Type: Effect Monster
Card Info Blowback Dragon
DARK / Machine / Level 6 / ATK 2300 / DEF 1200
Toss a coin 3 times. If at least 2 of the results are Heads, select 1 card on your opponent's side of the field and destroy it. This effect can only be used once per turn during your Main Phase.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: 2300 ATK isn't the worst ATK for 1 Tribute but certainly not the best as Summoned Skull can destroy him. Plus his effect is just bad so stick to Summoned Skull.

SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: 1800 ATK for a Nomi Monster may seem like a drag but he gains 500 ATK during each of your Standby Phases and can't be destroyed by battle or card effects!

Comments: The thing with this card is that your opponent has to have at least 1 Spellcaster with under 2100 ATK for this card to activate, making it a pretty bad card overall.

Comments: This is the big-shot card Ishizu Ishtar used against Kaiba in the Battle City Finals and it's a very situational card to use but at the right time, it can be deadly.
