The Golden Apples: the new generation Gorz?

[RandallTheGreenGeek]

This last weekend at the Sneak Peek, I was lucky enough to pull the only copy of The Golden Apples out of over 40 people attending (every other Secret/Ultimate/Ultra Rare was pulled that day). And after looking at it, I realized that it has some great potential. Here it is:

"Activate only when you take Battle Damage while you control no monsters. Gain Life Points equal to the Battle Damage you took, and Special Summon 1 "Malus Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK ?/DEF ?). Its ATK and DEF are each equal to the amount of Life Points you gained by this effect."

While it doesn't compete too well with popular traps like D-Prison and Mirror Force, it does have the advantage of summoning a low-level token that can be used for a myriad of purposes, including Token Decks and Synchro Summoning.

And while Gorz can give you two monsters for the price of one, you must be hit directly with nothing on the field. The Golden Apples, however, just requires no monsters out and as a bonus, you recover all Life Points lost from the attack, which can also be combo'd with Life Gain decks.

Please post your thoughts and tell us what you think of this underrated and overlooked Secret Rare.
