Time to take a look at a card that I personally favor using in decks. (Myself, along with thousands of other duelists.) Debris Dragon: a Tuner Monster used by Yusei Fudo in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Compared to many monsters he may not be strong in terms of attack strength, but his abilities are what dueling dreams are made of.
So let's examine this little dragon that can evolve into a legend. Debris Dragon is a, WIND Attributed, Level 4 Dragon/Tuner Effect Monster with 1000ATK and 2000DEF. 1000ATK is very low for many monsters including Level 4 Monsters, but 2000DEF makes him an adequate defender. Like many cards nowadays, however, Debris Dragon was not made to stay on the field for long or battle all by himself. He is supposed to arrive and Synchronize with other Monster Cards on your Side of the field to grow into an even bigger dragon!
When Debris Dragon is Normal Summoned, he can revive any monster in your graveyard with lower than 500ATK Points; it doesn't matter what Level the monster is (This information can actually affect the game play). The monster Summoned by this effect will have its own effects negated, so it is assumed that the revived monster will be used as Synchro Material, as a Tribute, or even as Xyz Material. To compensate having a potent effect, Debris has 2 main drawback effects. First, he is not able to use a Level 4 Monster as Synchro Material, ever. Second, He must always be used as a Synchro Material Monster for the Summoning of Dragon-Type Synchro. By the card's very nature and artwork, it is implied that Debris Dragon is meant to grow into one of the Legendary "Signer Dragons", more specifically Stardust Dragon. His drawbacks add a greater challenge to actually summoning cards like Stardust Dragon and Red Dragon Archfiend, however, despite his cons he tends to shift the tides of battle.
Debris Dragon is most useful towards the middle or end of a duel, after many weak monsters have been sent to the Graveyard. In rare cases where a user of this card has a bad hand, he can still be used as a shield to ward off the first attack. Because of its potency, Debris Dragon is currently on the Limited List, meaning that only 1 can be used in Tournament Matches. Although these cards only come in Common rarity, they are valuable.
