"Lava Golem" Rating Score by ブルーバード

It's rare to find a card with such a different reason for its strength now and then.
In the old days, there was no trickery about gaining turns with lock, and once played, it was a card that would be killed as it was. One of the strengths of this deck is that there are few ways to pay off your own cards if you don't use Tribute Summon, and it takes time to process. As expected, he has trouble handling 3000 RBIs, so he chooses Deck. However, it works well with cards that take control until the end phase and cards that deal damage depending on the opponent's RBI, so the high RBI is not the only disadvantage. So much so that he has a deck called Golem that takes full advantage of that trait.
As the duel speeds up, it loses its ability to gain turns and becomes unusable... but this time, the cost of releasing the opponent's monster has attracted attention, opening up a completely new way to remove it. Even so, it was avoided due to the disadvantage of losing summoning rights, but with the emergence of Dragon Ruler, which does not emphasize summoning rights, and the trend of preemptively suppressing monsters, this monster has become a major player. As the format inflated, the value of this card increased as well, and it became known as a pioneer of cost-releasing removal.
It's not without its drawbacks, such as the fact that it requires real summoning rights and is vulnerable to rule intervention, but it's still active in areas where it can be removed in a moderate amount without affecting the gold ball care.
