Card Tips:Ancient Sacred Wyvern


 * Remember: This card's ATK increase by the difference between your and your opponent's life points when your life points are higher. If you do battle damage, this card's ATK goes up. If you inflict direct or effect damage, this card's ATK goes up. When playing this card, it is important to wait until the last moment or for an opportunity to attack without the interference of your opponent's spell and trap cards that could prevent you from doing damage with this card.


 * If you have one more monster that you can attack your opponent directly with during your Battle Phase, attack with that one first, so that the damage done by "Ancient Sacred Wyvern" will be increased. Be wary, though, as your opponent probably knows this and might activate a spell or trap in response to shut your "Wyvern" down.
 * There are lots of life point gaining cards out there, some with strings attached:
 * "Aegis of Gaia"'s effect states that you take 3000 whenever it's removed from the field
 * "Supremacy Berry" requires that your life points be lower than your opponent's in order to gain life points
 * "Granadora" with an effect that takes more of your Life points than it gives (this could be worked around with forced removal, such as "Macro Cosmos", "Dimensional Fissure", "Banisher of the Radiance" and "Banisher of the Light").


 * Some support cards that could help you gain life points with no such strings attached are:
 * "Cestus of Dagla"
 * "Thought Ruler Archfiend"
 * "Magical Android"
 * "Psychic Lifetrancer"
 * "Dian Keto the Cure Master"
 * "Poison of the Old Man"
 * "Solemn Wishes"
 * "Emergency Provisions"
 * "Mystik Wok"


 * Cards such as following can protect your life point from attack of your opponent's monsters while giving you adventage on life point by either increasing your life point or decreasing your opponent's life point.
 * Draining Shield
 * Magic Cylinder
 * Nimble Momonga
 * Marshmallon


 * This card can be easily used in conjunction with a X-Sabers deck, as long as you use "Summoner Monk" to summon "Hyper Synchron", which will allow you to synchro summon this card. Given that most of your time will be spent gaining card advantage due to a "XX-Saber Faultroll" and "XX-Saber Ragigura" loop, you will probably be able to inflict a lot of damage with those cards alone, at which point you can attack with "Ancient Sacred Wyvern" for a lot of damage.


 * Since this card requires a LIGHT tuner, "Hyper Synchron" will do nicely, which can be searched by "Jade Knight", and a card that is more splashable, "Summoner Monk". Since "Ancient Sacred Wyvern" gains ATK whenever you gain life points and when your opponent loses life points, "Skull-Mark Ladybug" (which increases your life points by 1000 whenever it's sent to the graveyard) can also be a suitable option for synchro summoning "Ancient Sacred Wyvern". Unfortunately, "Skull-Mark Ladybug" cannot be tuned with "Hyper Synchron" (they are both level 4) for "Ancient Sacred Wyvern", but they can synchro summon "Thought Ruler Archfiend" together, which helps you gain life points and can protect itself from spells and traps that target it. Another option is to use "Turbo Rocket" and a level one monster (in an "X-Saber" deck, this monster could be "XX-Saber Ragigura") to synchro summon "Turbo Cannon", use "Turbo Cannon"'s effect to destroy one of your opponent's monsters, summon "Sunny Pixie" (you could use "One for One") and then synchro summon "Armory Arm" from "Turbo Cannon" and "Sunny Pixie".


 * Just as many other synchro monster, this card works well with "Marauding Captain" when you use it with "Hyper Synchron" or "The Fabled Rubyruda".


 * Summon "Morphtronic Scopen" and any Lv 4 "Morphtronic monster" from your hand to summon this card.


 * If you control at least 2 "Life Absorbing Machine" cards, "Ancient Sacred Wyvern" becomes invincible.
 * "Prime Material Dragon", in combination with cards like "Burning Land" and "Dark Snake Syndrome", can also help.
