Megalosaurus

Megalosaurus is a Fire attributed Prehistoric card the was created by DinoFlame. It's a very decent card on its own, but its use is increased substantially by its Wastebasket Illusion ability.

Wastebasket Illusion
Choose any theropod that has been or is on the field. This card becomes a copy of that card for the rest of the turn. Any damage delt to this card during that time is negated unless it was fatal. This ability cannot be used twice in a row.

Mega Roar
Your opponent cannot attack this turn. You must then wait two turns before you can use this ability again.

Mega Bite
Mega Bite deals a reasonable amount of damage, but has no added effect.

Origin Information
Megalosaurus holds a special place in history, being the first dinosaur to be discovered and named. Unfortunately, as one of the first dinosaurs on the scene, it had the side effect of getting a lot of dinosaurs incorrectly asigned to its genus. To this day, the confusion caused by this is still being sorted, with many "species" being reexamined and reasigned to their own, or other genera.

All of that confusion aside, Megalosaurus was a thirty-foot long theropod that roamed western Europe during the Late Jurassic.

Using Megalosaurus
With Wastebasket Illusion at its disposal, there are many, many, ways to use Megalosaurus. One good tip for using Megalosaurus, though, regardless of how you use Wastebasket Illusion, is to use Mega Roar while Wastebasket Illusion is recharging. This give you another chance to use Wastebasket Illusion, and keeps Megalosaurus going for a bit longer.

Defending against Megalosaurus
Defending aginst Megalosaurus can vary depending on how Wastebasket Illusion is used. While WI is in use, you'll need to inflict lethal damage, or Megalosaurus will come out unharmed. When it isn't using WI during its recharge turn, though, a good idea would be to hit it fast and hard with a Water attribute. Of course, that strategy can also be rendered ineffective if it uses Mega Roar. To get around Mega Roar, though, you can use damage-inflicting moves and/or abilities.
