"Yowie" Rating Score by みめっと

The Reptile monster used by "BIG1", one of the most skilled duelists in anime DM, who has gained tremendous support from some duelists, has become an OCG following "Ipiria".
Based on Aboriginal mythology, it is characterized by an eerie appearance like a lizard with insect legs, making it a monster that would not be created by ordinary people's senses.
Even though it is a low class monster, its effect is that it has a tremendous impact by simply putting it on the field with NS or SS to eliminate the opponent's normal draw.
However, when using this effect, there is a restriction that you can only perform one SS in that turn, so if you use it as an NS, you can only perform one more SS, and if you use it as an SS, you cannot perform another SS in that turn.
Moreover, since the effect only works when you SS alone, it is quite difficult to reduce the opponent's hand by laying down a suppression board while using this effect or by using a handicap due to a monster effect.
Drawlock is certainly powerful, but even though it is an effect that is often too late to attack second, even if you use it first, it is so strong that your opponent will have no choice but to pray for a top resolution with a normal draw. It's almost impossible to create a perfect board, and it's not as good as Yatagarasu as a card to completely nip the opponent's counterattack in the bud.
Moreover, since it can only be used once per Duel and its own stats are low, it can be said that it is a very difficult card to use strongly in a serious environment in modern Yu-Gi-Oh.
I think the most reasonable way to use this card is to set 3-4 cards such as NS and 3 or 4 cards such as offerings as the first attack of a metabi-type Deck.
Since you can SS only once, if a useful Link 1 monster other than Almira that can be converted from this card appears, the evaluation may change again.
That's why, by all means, please support the race-specific Link 1 monsters that can be produced with a single Reptile! With that, I will conclude this evaluation.
