Effect
"The ATK of this card increases by 500 points for every monster on your opponent's side of the field. When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points."
OK, all I have to say is this is a pretty awesome card. Cyber Jar? hurts them and then opponent put out his monsters.... (better if you got him after the effect though)... .... Swarming Warrior Decks??? go ahead and swarm... Opponent used Scapegoats or You used Ojama Trio??? Oh ya.... you get the Idea. This is a card that wins tournaments (at least for me).. I think Panda has to be the most underrated card in the game.
With a 1600 Def. He has decent stats. ... and unlike our buddy Spear Dragon he doesnt have to go to defense mode.
Top deck wise, he is only great when your opponent is swarming, then you have a beatstick to slam him/her with.
There are so many ways to use panda... Your opponents playing a swarming deck like warriors or zombies.... so set your Giant Rat... and when they dump 3 or more guys on the field and attack, you fetch him.
They are definitely going to think twice about using that Scapegoats to protect their lifepoints this turn. And to be even more nasty spring an Ojama Trio on them then attack......
I would have to give this card a 3.5 / 5... just because sometimes you do not want to top deck him. But its a great card to have against Stall OR Swarming decks.
