Today we look at quite an interesting monster,
another excellent choice for the Water deck, the
handsomely dressed, tuxedo wearing, red bow-tie
sporting, top hat supporting, Nightmare Penguin.
Nightmare Penguin is Level 4 who only has a terribly
low 900 attack but a very respectfully solid 1800
defense. Our handsome penguin also boasts a couple
of special abilities to warrant his play.
First, he increases the attack of all Water monsters
you control while face up on the Field. Obviously,
ideally in defense mode, as the 900 attack isn't
going to get you very far or for very long.
Secondly, when flipped, he has the effect of being
able to return one card on your opponent's side of
the Field to their Hand.
That's where the real power comes in. One card,
whether it be monster or magic or trap card, you can
return it, no questions asked. The 200 attack point
bonus is marginal, but can and probably would be
combined with A Legendary Ocean.
Not bad folks, but like I said yesterday, the
Legendary Ocean Deck just can't quite hold its own
in the current format, which is still regrettable.

Nightmare Penguin
This Penguin gives your opponent nightmares for
sure. His DEF is large, his ATK is not horrible and
he can bounce any card on the field for a flip. Plus
he is searchable through Mother Grizzly and if that
weren't enough, he gives a 200 ATK boost to all your
WATER monsters. Many of my victories with my Liquid
Evolution deck used him to bounce and then beat down
on the opponent. Probably one of the most underrated
cards of our time.
