It's a hate card. In card game speak "hate card" means a card that is highly effective against one type of deck/strategy and almost useless against another.

Soul killers aren't really hate cards, as soulguard is a part of every world and likely to show up.

This is a hate card: While it hits Dragon World, Ancient World, Duel Dragons, as well as a small pool of cards in other worlds, it is lackluster at best against Magic World, Katana World, and Most of Dungeon World and Legend World as well as most Armor Knights. It's highly effective when it's useful, but only in a narrow field (although this particular field is  slightly broader than usual)
