This card's potential drawback of having to discard a card can be avoided if the player draws into a Spell/Trap Card. In addition, in some decks that favor discarding or sending cards to the GY, such as "Dark World" and "Tearlaments", the discard effect can be used to generate more card advantage to the player later on.
Works as a (better) last copy of "Upstart Goblin" in a "Sky Striker" deck due to the high quantities of spells and low number of maindeck monster attributes.
