"Mushroom Man #2" Rating Score by かどまん

It was a minor card from the 1st season, but in a mirror match between 《Kashtira》
In 2022, he became a highly respected presence in the neighborhood as a perfect meta card.
[Kashtira] Summon this card in the mirror and send it to your opponent's field during EF.
Then the opponent will be in the following situation
First of all, if there are monsters on the field, many of the various Kashtira that can't be SSed by their own effects can't be deployed and become dead cards.
His Kashtira, which is an X theme, has a restriction that he can only get X from EX after using some effects.
This theme does not have the same ☆3 as 《Mushroom Man #2》, so there is no need to worry about being used as an X material.
Even if you try to change it to L1, it is not compatible with 《Salamangreat Almiraj》due to ATK, so you need to change it to L2 or higher.
For that reason, L2's 《Donner, Dagger Fur Hire》that can destroy the opponent's card while self-destructing
There is a sub-plan to open the field as a countermeasure against sending [Kashtira]
Donna requires two different races as materials, so he can't be produced with Mushroom Man #2, which is the same race as the only lower class, Kashtira Riseheart (*This look and name makes him a Warrior, not a Plant).
If this happens, the opponent will be forced to make a disadvantageous initial move by using Braho or summoning a hand trigger such as 《Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring》.
Moreover, the damage to the controller during SF is a forced effect
It works well with his Kashtira on this side, which can activate his own effect using the opponent's effect as a trigger.
In particular, 《Kashtira Unicorn》has the effect of excluding EX.
It is also possible to first exclude the above Donna and EX such as "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable" that the opponent is trying to use to process "Mushroom Man #2".
In that case, the opponent will be forced into a clog at once without being able to dislodge Mushroom Man #2.
In this way, it's not just a meta, but a card that fits perfectly, including the fact that it specializes in mirror matches.
It's too niche of a use, but I applaud the duelist who found this card for this use in the first place.
At the same time, it is a card that has made known the depth of Yu-Gi-Oh's card pool.
