Yu-Gi-Oh Advent Calendar 2019 17 Kuribon

The seventeenth card is Kuribon, a Kuriboh that showed up during 5D’s. For Kuribons effect it has to be the target of battle, you can make the result of the battle be your opponent gains their monsters Atk points as life and Kuribon returns to the hand. This means that as long as you don’t mind using up your summon and giving your opponent Life Points you can block one attack per turn. There is another card with a similar effect called Scrap-Iron Scarecrow that stops an attack per turn as a continuous trap. Ordeal of a Traveler and Gravekeeper’s Servant can be used with these to great effect on how many attacks can actually go through. Another option would be having a Bad Reaction to Simochi on the field to force your opponent to take damage instead of gaining it when attacking into Kuribon. Since none of those cards need your normal summon you can use Kuribon to stall for time to get them as well. It’s a pretty good stalling card on its own so it’s a great addition for decks if they can afford not to worry about how much life their opponent gets.
