First Effect:

Second Effect:

He deals 3,000 damage to an opponent, and that is a large portion of a player’s life points. This is a strong effect to win games.

However, Toon Black Luster Soldier does not have this advantage if your opponent is also playing Toon monsters. You cannot declare a direct attack. Toon Black Luster Soldier must battle the opposing Toon monster.

Third Effect:

The ability to banish cards is always an advantage against any opponent. Toon Black Luster Soldier may banish any card on the field for the price of being unable to attack during the same turn. This amazing effect removes any card from the duel. However, you cannot activate this effect without Toon World on the field.

Furthermore, this ability is sometimes the better option than an attack. You may need to banish an opponent’s card to remove his or her advantage for the long-term outcome of the duel. Many decks cannot regain their cards after you banish them.
