Ever since the introduction of Synchro Monsters, the speed and power of the metagame has increased tenfold and this card is certainly one of the most useful Monsters released so far. At first glance, this card might not seem to be worth playing, having only mediocre stats of 2300 ATK and 1400 DEF, which is low for a Level 6 Synchro Monster, and can easily be surpassed by the likes of "Goyo Guardian", "Stardust Dragon" and even any "Monarch" or the rarely used "Summoned Skull", but it's the effect of Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier which gives it its rightful place on the Limited List.

| Summary
| - Ever since the introduction of Synchro Monsters, the speed and power of the metagame has increased tenfold and this card is certainly one of the most useful Monsters released so far. At first glance, this card might not seem to be worth playing, having only mediocre stats of 2300 ATK and 1400 DEF, which is low for a Level 6 Synchro Monster, and can easily be surpassed by the likes of "Goyo Guardian", "Stardust Dragon" and even any "Monarch" or the rarely used "Summoned Skull", but it's the effect of Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier which gives it its rightful place on the Limited List.
As already mentioned, "Brionac" has rather mediocre stats and can be defeated by an almost endless list of monsters. However, it shines whenever you have cards in your hand, since you can simply discard any number of them to return the same amount of cards to their owner's hand. This can be used to either disrupt your opponent's strategies or help you reuse and abuse the effects of certain cards, such as "Swords of Revealing Light" to create a near unstoppable block. Another good point to this card's effect is that it can be used multiple times in a turn, meaning you can discard cards from your hand one-at-a-time, and not end up with no cards in your hand in case you happen to run into a "Divine Wrath".
Given how this card cannot be stopped by the commonly played "Stardust Dragon", there is no reason that this card can't be placed in every deck which has access to Tuner monsters. It can also single-handedly turn the tide of almost any Duel, by returning all the cards your opponent controls to their hand, leaving them wide open for a direct attack, also its Level makes it very easy to Summon, especially with low Level Tuner monsters like "Krebons" and "X-Saber Airbellum".
The main reason why "Brionac" is better than most other Synchro Monsters is that it has only a handful of cards which can negate its effect once it activates, whereas others can be stopped by much more. So there's no reason why "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" doesn't deserve to be included in almost every Extra Deck.
