*There are no published rulings for Rocket Warrior.
Straight out of the new tins comes Rocket Warrior, a monster that would've been more appreciated and used had it been released a year ago. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty good card and can be used pretty well. Personally, I think it's so-so, and would rather use a card like Slate Warrior or Dark Jeroid if I wanted to weaken a monster that badly. Overall it's okay, but not the best.
Rocket Warrior's effect lets it work well with a few cards. After the Struggle is a very nice combo with it, making Rocket Warrior almost an Exiled Force. You can also use it to destroy your opponent's Spirit Reaper with ease, or to obviously weaken a monster so that you can attack and destroy it with another monster. In some cases, you could weaken a monster and destroy it with Deck Devastation Virus. Twin Swords of Flashing Light "“ Tryce work well with it too. So the possibilities are all over the place.
The main advantage to Rocket Warrior is its ability to not be destroyed in battle or lose you life points, during your turn at least. Otherwise, it doesn't help you that much. Chaos food, I guess, but that's up in the air, and warrior support.
The disadvantages are that a) during your opponent's turn, it's essentially a normal monster and b) to use it very effectively you need another monster and your opponent's monster to be weaker than both of your monsters.
As previously mentioned, when using Rocket Warrior, be sure to have at least one other monster on the field, or a Deck Devastation Virus ready, in which case you'd need another monster anyway.
Rocket Warrior doesn't really need a specific deck to be in as it's rather splashable. A Warrior Deck wouldn't be too bad though.
Ratings:
Advanced: 3/5. Not good, not bad, in between.
Traditional: 3/5. Again, same thing.
Limited: --/5.
Sealed: --/5.
