Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]s include:
* Collectible Card Games have their [[Goddamned Bats]], too. ''[[Duel Masters]]'', for example, has [https://web.archive.org/web/20160124143419/http://www.wizards.com/duelmasters/dm_autocard.asp?name=pyrofighter_magnus Pyrofighter Magnus], who comes out of nowhere, gets in a cheap shot, and disappears back to his owner's hand. You can only attack an opponent's monster on your turn, which means you can't kill him. If you have a blocker that can kill him, your opponent probably won't summon him, but he'll show up again once the blocker dies.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' also had them in the form of Spirit Reaper/Marshmallon and Treeborn Frog/Sinister Serpent. The first two cannot be destroyed in battle, and have weak enough stats to make them safe from most of the popular monster-destruction cards, while the latter two are easily able to return to your hand/field shortly after being sent to your graveyard, no matter ''how'' they're sent there. Fortunately for players, Spirit Reaper dies the moment an effect targets it, Marshmallon's limited to 2 copies in a deck, only one Treeborn Frog can be summoned per turn via its effect, and Sinister Serpent is outright banned. There's also Tsukuyomi (a Spirit monster that flips a monster on the field face-down upon summoning, and bounces back to your hand at the end of the turn), and Yata-Garasu, a [[Game Breaker]] if there ever was one. With the ability to prevent the opponent from drawing cards normally and the ability to return to its owner's hand due to it being a Spirit-type, it was essentially an "I win" card that still causes eye twitches when mentioned around seasoned Yu-Gi-Oh! players. Both are also banned, probably indefinitely.
* The likely [[Ur Example]] in the CCG world is ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s protection from color ability, which can be bad if you happen to be using the colors protected from. There are auras and equipment to grant creatures protection, as well.
Line 9 ⟶ 11:
** The ''[[Star Wars]]'' CCG had a similar card- Jar Jar. Besides being [[The Scrappy]], the original Jar Jar could blow up an enemy with a little luck, but die in the process. A few sets later... Brisky Morning Munchen let you recur him. For a fairly cheep activation price, as far as named characters from the movies go. Throw in a couple of equally annoying cards built around him, and... you get the picture.
