Ancient Lamp
When this card is attacked in Face-Down Defense Position, you may designate 1 opponent's monster as the attack target. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, you may Special Summon 1 "La Jinn, the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" from your hand.

The first part of this effect is godlike if your opponent has more than 1 monster. When the effect goes off, one of your opponent's monsters at the very least WILL die.
Example 1: Double Whammy
Opponent Special Summons Cyber Dragon and Normal Summons D.D. Assailant. No matter which attacks the facedown Ancient Lamp, the opponent will take 400 damage and will lose both of the monsters to the remove pile.
Example 2: Suicide!
Opponent has a faceup Gemini Elf. They Normal Summon Insect Knight. No matter which attacks the facedown Ancient Lamp, both will suicide with each other.
Example 3: Massive Pain
Opponent Special Summons Cyber Dragon and Normal Summons Spirit Reaper. Normally this'd be a killer move because Reaper'd poke a card from your hand. But when Cyber Dragon moves in for the kill it'll slam into Spirit Reaper instead and give your opponent a nice 1800 points of damage. Also, both attacks will essentially be negated!
The second part of the effect is "WTF?!". No one cares. No one's used La Jinn since the days of Starter Deck Kaiba/Yugi.
Traditional: 2/5
Advanced: 4/5
Limited: Can't/5
P.S. I know the card in the picture is fake but it's the same thing as the real card so I'm using the picture.
