What is Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit?
This FIRE monster was the original floodgate strategy in old school Yu-Gi-Oh! If you managed to get two of them out at the same time, not only did you inflict 1000 damage to your opponent each turn, but your opponent couldn't attack you at all.
What is Solar Flare Dragon?
The Spell Card "A HERO Lives" was one of many Yu-Gi-Oh! cards that received terrible translation or localization. In actuality, the card's name is this in the original version, which makes a lot more sense given the context of the card and what it does.

What is Planet Pollutant Virus?
Thunder Dragon was an absolute beast of a deck that was able to easily counter Orcust, Salamangreat AND Sky Striker, in particular because of its ability to play this DARK monster, who was available at 3 copies at the time. Why do we still allow this card when Arise-Heart is banned?
What is Dimension Shifter?

The TOSS format had a few unique takes on Sky Strikers, but this one was probably the most memorable. It ran 2 different archetypal Field Spells at 3 copies each, along with Set Rotation AND Terraforming. I suppose Sky Striker was desperate for even more Continuous Spells to dump into the GY.
What is True Draco?
That's quite the dangerous monster you have there! But since I control Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation , I activate this card to take it from you!
What is Mementotlan Mace?
