Quite a bit slower than Reckless Greed, and few Roids are going to last past the attack.

Trap Hole
TRAP / Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent Normal Summons or Flip Summons a monster with 1000 or more ATK. Destroy that monster.

A pretty wide spread to aim for, but won't work on any kind of Special Summon.

Dust Tornado

Not a great alternative to Mystical Space Typhoon. (#15)

R - Righteous Justice

Rating: 4 out of 5
Still the best way we have to destroy Spell or Trap Cards.

(Beast-Warrior / Effect)

If you're meeting this card's requirements, you'll probably only hold on 1 more turn, if that.

Elemental Hero Wildheart
EARTH / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1600
(Warrior / Effect)

(Warrior / Effect)
During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.

(Fiend / Flip / Effect)

(Warrior / Normal)
An Elemental Hero with a clay body built-to-last. He will preserve his Elemental Hero colleagues at any cost.

A winged Elemental Hero who wheels through the sky and manipulates the wind. His signature move, Featherbreak, gives villainy a blow from sky-high.

(Spellcaster / Normal)
Elf twins that alternate their attacks.
