How it works
Materials: 2 Level 4 monsters.
Once per chain, during your Main Phase or your opponent’s Battle Phase, if your opponent has more total cards in their hand and field than you do: detach 1 material to destroy all other cards on the field. Your opponent takes no further damage this turn.

It’s been a comeback card since 2014: any deck that makes a Rank 4 can reset a big board.
