Now let me explain how you can easy benefit from this card.
First of all it can save any monster on the field from DAD,JD mirror force torrential bottomless etc and you are surtain that your monster will survive this round, the only expetion is your field gets full with ojama tokens or something like that, but really what are the odds of that happening :p


You can mill your opponents deck with necroface with this card and multiple even multiple times since it will come back.


It resets monsters effects.
Meaning: that cards like beast king barbaros and fusilier dragon will be able to regain there full atk points.
But what I think is the most interesting with this card is that is does not summon which means it can work on nomi monsters (monster with “this card cannot be summoned except by”) like D hero plasma and DAD. This also means that when the monster returns your opponent can not bottomless it or use royal oppression.

you can use it with a earthbound imortal based deck to keep some tribute monsters on the field if you need to but mostly to remove a earthbound immortal aslla to blow up your opponents field

fortune lady light abuse anybody?

My favorite trick with this card is with light and darkness dragon
My opponent activates effects to lower my light and darkness dragon ATK to a beatable lv and when he activates the card that will let my dragons atk become 1800 than I will chain my Interdimensional matter transporter to my light and darkness dragons effect and since my light and darkness dragon can only negate once in a chain it mill not block my Interdimensional matter transporter so
Chain link 1; my opponents eff
Chain link 2: my light and darkness dragon
Chain link 3: Interdimensional matter transporter
Chain link 3 resolves so my light and darkness dragon is removed
Chain link 2 resolves: your opponents eff is negated
Chain link 1’s eff is negated
And when your dragon comes back it will be with its full 2800 atk points and if your opponent just waisted 2 cards to lower its atk I assure you he is will not be happy


the newist use for this card is the abusal of E hero abolute zero

IMT Is really one of the best traps right now with all the new meta monsters in this format. as you said, it works with LaDD but the monster that i think that can avuse of the effect of IMD is really Elemental Hero Absolute Zero.

He really is an anoying monster when he is on the field, no need to say that you can counter your opponents plans using IMD ( that gives you a Raigeki on your oppenents turn, its even better than mirror force cuz u can use it on main phase ) and i saw some players using it for D Hero Dragoon against monarchs. The biggest weeknes of D Hero Dragoon are Caius And Raiza. So players use it for protect him from those effects and get th econtrol of the field with it.

The trap overall doubles as a offensive and defensive trap.

You can use it to protect your monsters from effects that target. You can also protect a monster from Torrential or mirror; more so if its a key monster you don't want to lose.

It can be strategic in use as well as already noted with Absolute Zero and Fortune Lady Light. It can be used for just little things as well...those little small plays that turn a tide in a duel and little combo's to make use of your cards. Like say you have a IMT Facedown and one face up monster and a gorz in your hand. If your opponent attacks; you can IMT your monster to empty your field, and when your opponent replays his attack to attack direct..you can now use gorz and get your monster back during the end phase.

Little things like that can influence a duel to make the most out of your cards, namely IMT.

Isn't it odd how so many old cards are the most useful? lol..
