A low-level Insect monster that devours a single monster with the effect of Cycle Reverse.
Reverse by receiving an attack from the opponent has no effect, but it is excellent in that it does not accidentally explode because it only eats the opponent's monsters.
It is possible to attack even under the application of the permanent attack locks "Messenger of Peace" and "Gravity Bind" that represent the 2nd period, and while being protected by the lock cards, the number of monsters on the opponent's field can be steadily reduced by its own effects. It was very convenient.
Since he is a DARK, it was wonderful that he was able to deal with the Death Deck before Errata with Swarm of Locusts.
As expected, it's a tough card nowadays, but there was definitely a time when it was active, and it was a monster with its existence value.

Comprehensive evaluation: If you protect it with 《Ghostrick Mansion》, you may be able to make use of it.
If he locks the attack and repeats Flip Summon in the meantime, he can erase the opponent's monsters one by one, but it's slow because he waits for the next turn after putting it out first.
There are cards that can be used every turn even if there is a hand cost, and this efficiency that can only be used in Flip Summon is not good.
In the opponent's turn, he has the advantage of being easy to maintain in combination with cards that protect the back defense such as Ghostrick.
In addition, since the Insect search is effective, I would like to be able to use it immediately as a search method.

It is a card that can be said to be a counterpart to Locusts, but if you reverse and remove monsters, there is Snowman with higher defense.
This is a cycle reverse, so you can use it as many times as you want if you can maintain it, but due to card power inflation and speeding up, it's a doubtful environment that you can even activate it once, let alone maintain it.
I would like to try to maintain it by using multiple cards, but honestly it's not worth doing that much for single removal.
I wonder if I've been swallowed up by the waves of the times.

A cycle reverse that eliminates monsters in contrast to locusts.
I can say the same thing over there, but I feel like it's already tough to say it's limited to Flip Summon.

He uses Cycle Flip Monster a lot, so I want one in my deck.
For the same monster removal, there is Golem Sentry, which has high defense and a bounce effect, but this is more suitable for attacking from the shadow of the lock of level limit B area Gravity Bind. As long as you have the means to protect yourself, you can eliminate monsters as many times as you want.

Speaking of cycle reverse, locusts and scarabs. One piece that plays the core of the gimmick from the very beginning.
Although it is unreliable on its own, its control performance is outstanding when combined with a defense card.
The fear that monster removal will fly every turn. If I survived, I would feel quite relieved,
Because of its ease, it is also in charge of removing monsters with Rockburn etc.

One of the lower class that still resides in Cycle Reverse.
Unlike sentries, which have high defense and bounce removal, this one is better against lower-ranked opponents, even though it destroys them.
It's annoying when you stumble.

If his deck is centered on Cycle Reverse, this is the first card.
Even if you simply use it together with 《Stumbling》or 《Scrap-Iron Scarecrow》, it will show a reasonable ability.
