"Iron Knight?"
Placido frowned slightly.
He remembered this monster. After all, it was fairly common among low-Level beaters and not exactly unknown in the history of Duel Monsters. Its 1800 ATK at Level 4 was fairly notable in the early days, and its Monster Effect seemed to be... destroying cards equipped to itself.
A Monster Effect that was basically ignored. It was generally useless and could be treated as a Level 4 vanilla.
If this had been in Kira's own dimension, given Kira's current fame, most people would probably have shuddered upon seeing Iron Knight and instinctively begun wondering whether that card was coming next.
