Today we look at an equip card that you might consider a Warriors-only version of Butterfly Dagger - Elma.
Like the banned card, it gives a 300 ATK increase and has the ability to return to your hand if it hits the graveyard (in this card's case, the condition isn't as restrictive). Should your monster hit the graveyard for any reason, this thing has a chance to come back. Hell, the only real things that can stop it from coming back besides the payment are Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell and cards like The End of Anubis.
The catch of course is quite costly since you're removing two Warriors in order to get back a single equipment card that doesn't provide that big of a bonus... on its own that is.
For that reason, bringing this card back should be approached with caution. Warriors are supposed to come back with The Warrior Returning Alive as well the usual Premature Burial and Call of the Haunted. Deplete your graveyard (if your opponent isn't already doing this for you) and a good aspect of the Warrior deck-type dies.
There really aren't that many ways to get around this. One way to ease the pain of losing monsters via the payment would be using Dimension Fusion. Warrior decks are good at swarming and that card promotes it as well giving back all the monsters you paid to keep getting this equip back.
Another method is letting your least useful warriors hit the graveyard as quickly as possible. This way you're not in a jam about removing a monster that you need or getting back this equip.
Or simply run multiples of your best monsters to make sure you can still revive at least one copy of that specific monster later.
Patience in choosing when to play this card and when to bring it back is ultimately the best way to ensure you're not paying a lot of monsters to get it back.
Obviously this goes in a Warrior deck. However because of the price, it would be recomended to use cards in the deck that allow you to gain back monsters that were removed from play. Dimenison Fusion is a good choice. You may not like the heavy price, but it serves it's purpose. Using that will also make sure your opponent can't fully benefit from removing your monsters from your graveyard for you. You still have to be careful when to play it. Don't let it go out of your hand the first chance you get it.
Be on the look out for End of Anubis, Gravekeeper decks, and Kycoo as well.
In the traditional, I wouldn't run this card even if I lost my sanity, If I'm using equips this one would not be it. And most people in this format, if they remove monster for anything its for a RFG summon. 1/5
In advance, while this may not be a great substitute for Butterfly dagger, its still useful. You can choose whenever during your main phase, to bring it back so don't HAVE to pay for it right away unless you want to. The deck itself can be built around it so it can exploit having all those monsters removed. 3.5/5
