Card Tips:Honest


 * This card can be searched via "Sangan", "Last Will", "Shining Angel", "Nova Summoner" and "Soul Rope".


 * With "Athena" and "Ultimate Offering", you can use this card's effect to return to the hand during the Main Phase and continuously summon it again, dealing Damage for a slightly effective OTK. Bear in mind, you can't be at a noticeable Life Point disadvantage to do this. If you run "Spring of Rebirth", your Life Points will stay the same while your opponent's go down.

 * "Asura Priest's" ability to attack all monsters on your opponent's side of the field makes the ATK boost very effective in combination.
