Giant Soldier of Stone

 * Effect Monster

Attribute

 * EARTH

Level

 * 6 (Intermediate Monster)

Type(s)

 * Warrior/Rock

Description/Effect

 * "During your Standby Phase, you can pay 2000 LP to Special Summon this card from your hand in face-up defence position. If you use this effect, it immediately becomes the End Phase. When this face-up card you control is switched from defence to attack position, you can target and destroy 1 face-up continuous spell card on the field."

ATK/DEF

 * 1800/2200

Changes

 * Raised ATK and DEF to reflect artwork (Particularly ATK. Why was a giant soldier, made from stone so inept a fighter?)
 * Raised Level to reflect new stats.
 * Gave this card an effect that offers a way to Special Summon, since Yugi often dropped this one on the field pretty early. It's also a good effect for anime-honouring, since you can't Normal Summon in defence position (and Yugi sometimes did).
 * New effect also allows this card to target and destroy continuous spell cards, which could allow it to destroy "Mystical Moon" in this version of the game (again honouring the anime).
