Honest

Honest
Effect monster
Light/Angel/4/1100/1900
During your Main Phase, you can return this card from the field to it's owners' hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a face-up Light monster you control battles, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to have that monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the End Phase.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Powerful effect that allows you to boost the ATK of your Light monster by the ATK of your opponent's battling monster. You can activate this effect even in your opponent's turn, which makes this card even more evil when your opponent suicide their own monster. You can even activate the ATK boosting effect more than once in a turn if you have multiple copies of this card.

This card can be easily recuited by "Shining Angel" to the field. There are a few ways to recycle the effect of this card. "Beckoning Light" bring this card directly to your hand from the Graveyard. "Monster Reborn" this card and bounce this back to your hand using its own effect in your Main Phase. Remove this card from game by "Soul of Purity and Light" and get it back to your hand with "Light of Redemption" or "Dimensional Alchemist".

Comboing this card with "Victory Viper XX03" to generate high ATT token.
Comboing this card with "Cyber Twin Dragon" or "Asura Priest" to deal multiple times with high ATK.

Infinite combo loop with "Athena" and "Ultimate Offering" in Main Phase:
- Summon "Honest" with "Ultimate Offering" with "Athena" on Face-Up on your field.
- You pay 500 LP for "Ultimate Offering", your opponent lose 600 LP due to "Athena"'s effect
- Bounce "Honest" back to your Hand with its own effect, and repeat the cycle.
Ways to work around the 500 LP cost for "Ultimate Offering" including "Mysterious Puppeteer" or "Spring of Rebirth", that allows you to gain 500LP each loop. "Fire Princess" burn your opponent for additional 500 LP while you gain LP.

Special summon this card with "Celestial Transformation" or "Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen" and chain with "Inferno Reckless Summoning" to Special Summon 2 more copies of this card. Bounce all back to your Hand. Having 3 copies of this card in your Hand can be very deadly to your opponent. Similarly, use "Sky Scourge Enrise" or "Soul of Purity and Light" to remove this card from your Graveyard, then bring them all back with "Return from Different Dimension".

However, cards like "Baniser of Radiance" or "Macro Cosmos" that prevent you to send card to Graveyard will negate its effect. Card like "Angel 07" will totally prevent you from activating its effect even from your hand. "Deck Devastation Virus" will destroy this card the moment you draw it. This card would be an easy prey for "Mind Crush" if you recycle its effect.
