Number Hunters: Close up Review - Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier

So, I decided to do some review on cards I think are good and can be useful.

Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier
1st Edition NUMH-EN010
Earth/LV1/Warrior/Effect
During your Standby Phase: Special Summon up to 2 "Hero Challenger" monsters from your hand and/or Graveyard, except "Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier".  You can only use this effect of "Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier" once per turn.  When you  do: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; make all "Heroic Challenger" monsters you currently control become Level 1.
ATK/ 0 DEF/ 0

This cards can help the Heroic Challenger deck.  One, being a Warrior and Level 1 mean it is searchable by ROTA  (Reinforcement of the Army).  With attack of 0 and defense of 0 mean it will not do much at all.  With the bad attack and defense, this guy has a great effect.  The only problem is trying to keep him alive until your Standby Phase.  But there are cards that can solve that.  You can protect him with Threaten Roar or the best thing to do is make sure you have him in your graveyard.  All you have to do is play some copy of Call of the Haunted (or any trap cards that can special summon Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier from the grave).  It has to be a trap cards so that you can wait until your Standby Phase to activate.  That way you can special summon Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier during your Standby phase, then use Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier's effect to special summon two Heroic Challenger from your hand or graveyard.  Those Heroic Challenger's effect are not negate, so you can used those Heroic Challenger's effect, or xyz to any Rank you want because Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier just special summon any Heroic Challenger.  Does not matter what Level they are.  Plus, they stay on the field until they get destroy.  How good is that.

The second effect is when you special 2 Heroic Challenger with Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier's effect.  You can Banish this card from your graveyard (as a Cost) to make all Heroic Challenger monsters you currently control become LV1.  You might not want to do this unless you there are some good Rank 1 monsters.  

Your goal is to have this card in your graveyard so that each standby phase you can bring this card back with Call of the Haunted.  Reuse his effect each turn can change the game to your favorite.

If I can get more of these Heroic Challenger, I might build a fun deck.  They may not be up to the Level of Dragon Ruler or Prophecy but they can be a fun deck to play once in a while.
