Senet Switch
Extremely searchable (and recently got even more searchable!) iconic one card combo starter that has been splashed in multiple decks for over a year

Suddenly off the banlist, this monster has some potential against Synchro and XYZ heavy decks

While not the most impactful card on field, this card can be used against Elfnote for its ability to remove a name + Power Patron, while also having the ability to Fusion summon again
Mixousia the Confounder
Used by the character Titan in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, this archetype saw its many monsters have a chess theme far before Angelechy did it
