In today's meta, the classic "OTK" or One Turn Kill has been the cause of most game winning duels. For example, when Blackwings take control of your backrow with Delta-Crow Antireverse, and then swarms with up to 5 monsters for an OTK. Without a backrow, most players can't do anything because almost every time, those face-down cards were their only hope.
BATTLE FADER is a handy little effect monster introduced in Absolute Powerforce. It has the ability to special summon itself and end the Battle Phase when your opponent declares a direct attack. By doing so, you can pull off a possible reversal because your opponent failed to kill you and probably over-extended their resources.
This card was not only used to save a player from getting destroyed by 4-5 monsters. Battle Fader is a level 1 non-tuner DARK monster as well. It can serve as a free star for a Synchro summon, or a free sacrifice for a Tribute Summon. Although, once it leaves the field, it is removed from play.
With this card released in TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!(tm) gameplay have reached new levels of tactics even with an empty field.
Trivia: Battle Fader is Jack Atlas' reversal card when he dueled Dark Signer Carly in Episode 59. Since the Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu declared a direct attack, he then used this card, along with Red Dragon Archfiend and Majestic Dragon to successfully summon Majestic Red Dragon.
