Card Tips:Brain Crusher


 * With the release of Gigaplant, Brain Crusher can fit well in a plant/insect themed deck. Gigaplant can special summon Brain Crusher straight to the field from your hand, or you can use Foolish Burial to dump a Brain Crusher from your deck to the graveyard and then use a Gigaplant to revive it.
 * Use Creature Swap to give your opponent a "searching" monster such as Lord Poison or UFO Turtle, then attack and destroy it with Brain Crusher. You'll get to activate the searcher's effect to special summon a monster, and at the end phase of your turn you can special summon the searcher back to the field to search with it again.
 * Card of Safe Return can work well with Brain Crusher. Use Creature Swap to give your opponent a monster, then attack and destroy it with Brain Crusher. At the end phase of your turn, you can special summon it back to the field and draw a card!
 * Cards such as Shrink and Enemy Controller can make it easier for Brain Crusher to use its effect.
 * Use Foolish Revival to bring back a monster from your opponent's graveyard that you'd like to control, then attack and destroy it with Brain Crusher. You can then special summon it during the end phase of your turn and gain control of it. Foolish Revival can be used in this way to allow you to gain control of some fairly powerful monsters, since monsters with high ATK often have lower DEF and Foolish Revival summons the monster in face-up defense position.
 * Prickle Fairy works well with Brain Crusher. Any monster powerful enough to destroy Brain Crusher will have to attack Prickle Fairy first and Prickle Fairy's effect will force it into face-up defense position, making it easy prey for Brain Crusher.
