Skill Successor?

Nah, you got lance.
If you are talkin about ls, it's still bad.There are like hundred better cards for ls.

It's totally bad because it doesn't give much ATK and banishing a card for 800 ATK is not good even if you play banishing-based decks and then we have more choices for banishing monsters.

It's a fairly viable card actually, I used to run this in my Lightsworn deck a few years ago, and while it's not the best, it will still catch people off-guard.

Lightsworn's not based on getting strong fields.
They are a deck that's going to use their recourses to deal with backrow and then go HAM with JD.The old lightsworn deck is dead,you won't see Lightsworn do any End Phase milling as you used to back in the day.It's a viable card yes,but it's going to give you bad draws,you can't afford that in Lightsworn.
