Another example is "[[Photon Leo]]", which can [[shuffle]] cards in your opponent's [[hand]] back into the Deck. This can be a very disruptive effect in numerous situations.

"Photon" (フォトン Foton) is an archetype of LIGHT monsters used by Kite Tenjo, Dextra and Nistro in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, and created by Dr. Faker and Mr. Heartland together. Yusaku Fujiki also uses "Photon Thrasher" in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. This archetype was first released in Photon Shockwave. Most of the monsters in this archetype have armored or scaly bodies that emit blue light. The "Photon" archetype is intimately related to the "Galaxy" archetype. In the anime, Kite's Deck was created by using science from another dimension,[1] later revealed to be Barian World,[2] though Astral compared the energy of "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" to that of his own world.[3] In physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.
