Lightforce Sword

 Banish 1 random card from your opponent's hand, face-down
During your opponent's 4th Standby Phase after this card's  
activation, return that card to their hand.


Lightforce Sword!!!

I can't believe the amazingness this card is. This card banishes a card from your opponents hand facedown for four of your opponents standby phases! And in a format dominated by shear speed, your opponent will/should never get the card back. But this is not why the card is amazing!
This is the ONLY card in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh that completely removes a card from the game; meaning you can't use it for cost and you can't utilize it for ANY means for 4 turns. Also, all the dragon rulers can NOT use their search effect when they are banished with this card! Although the choice is random, it's still a one-for-one and can leave a top decking player hopeless. The goal is to activate this card when your opponent has 3 or less cards in hand or as a response to an E Dragon Special Summon from hand effect or High Priestess SS effect. This opens the opportunity to make a dragon player neg 3 and disrupt further combos or kill the High Priestess.
Many players will argue that Mind Crush is better because you know exactly what is being targeted and get to look at the players hand, but in the Dragon matchup, this is better because you completely dispute the summoning sequence of the Dragon Rulers; provided you hit a dragon.
Leave thoughts and comments of your opinions of this card. No doubt there are better options for E Dragons such as Gozen Match and Imperial Iron Wall, but mid to late game vs any matchup, this card breaks the game wide open!
