Card Review: Phantom of Chaos

Any Battle Damage your opponent takes from battles involving this card becomes 0. Once per turn: You can target 1 Effect Monster in your Graveyard; banish that target, then, until the End Phase, this card’s name and ATK become that monster’s name and ATK, and it gains that monster’s effects. You must control this face-up card to activate and to resolve this effect.

 

Phantom of Chaos is in a unique position this format. There are a TON of great cards to be removed (I thought of one right now), meaning this card is very splashable.

Deck Building: Keep Lists

It’s very common for me to make a mental note of cards I like, ones that go well together, and ones that may become useful in the future. But, there are those times where I’ll be forgetful of those cards, or unaware of ones I have that could gel with the current deck I’m building. There has to be a better way.
