Is Gate Guardian a good card?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is a matter of personal preference. However, this card does not receive much widespread popularity because of its very demanding Summoning Conditions. The fact that you must have Sanga of the Thunder, Suijin, and Kazejin on the FIELDfor the Summoning of Gate Guardian turns most Duelists' heads away as each of the three listed requires two Tributes. Also, Players do not really like the fact that Gate Guardian does not have any effects that are worth its Summoning materials.

However, Gate Guardian is much sought after in the PlayStation Video Game Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories as its Dueling procedures are much different. In this game, Gate Guardian, as well as all the other Monster Cards, is treated as a Normal Monster. Also, the game follows the Summoning rules of the Duelist Kingdom arc of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. This allows the Player to Normal Summon high Level cards without Tributing any monsters. Therefore, with 3750 ATK, Gate Guardian is a highly powerful Monster Card in the game, second only to the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
