When the Rug is Pulled Pulling the Rug was one of most used cards (or side-cards) in Raiza Format, and with good reasons. While it can only negate the summon and destroy normal summoned effect monsters, it requires no additional costs. And in slow, normal summon-centered meta, Pulling the Rug is a very potent card. Usage in MetagameBack in 2007, It's widely known that Monarchs rule the competitive realm. Holding powerful effect that immediately resolves when tribute summoned while only costs 1 monster, Monarchs easily slides into many kind of decks, whether it's tribute-summoned centric decks, or as techs in many different kind of decks. The most used Monarch used in this era was Raiza the Storm Monarch.
Another deck that's popular in 2007 is Gadgets. While having flimsy stats, Gadgets have effects that search each other when it's summoned. With great consistency effects and lot of supports, Gadgets became one of popular decks in this era. The similarity of those two popular decks are the usage of Normal summoning (tribute summon counts as normal summon) to trigger effects. And with it, Pulling the Rug can be a great choice to stop both of those decks (Note that Gadget effect can also be triggered by Special summoning them, though). The usage of Pulling the Rug doesn't stop there. Two of most popular cards in this format, Breaker the Magical Warrior (which found in almost all decks) and Elemental HERO Stratos (in Perfect Circle or Hero Control decks) can also be stopped by Pulling the Rug.
