Forum:UNEXPECTED TREASURES 1

Hello my name is Inygmazen and ive written a few times for recommendations on deck help, but now im giving a try on writing an article about unexpected treasures: cards that nobody uses but can be very effective on tier 1 and 2 decks. a handful of duelists along with myself are constantly trying to be inventive in being unique in their dueling style by using cards that no one will use or understand how to use them. In my years of dueling since the yugi and kaiba structure decks came to america i had a love of playing this game. But after the Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon booster pack came out up to Absolute Powerforce, and in between. I kept seeing the same decks with the same cards in them. They may have the same cards but diffrent strategies that go along with their deck. I sought to change that by first making a promise to my self "NEVER BUILD OR EVEN THINK OF A TOP_TIER DECK UNLESS I CAN BUILD AN ORIGINAL AND EFFECTIVE ONE ALONE". And i came slose with my bigwave, and ultimate insect decks. But enough about me let me get to the card of the article. In the last 2 years 5 decks have come to the limelight of being the best in concept decks. They are LIGHTSWORN, GLADIATOR BEASTS, ZOMBIE, SIX SAMURAI, AND BLACKWINGS. The card of this article focuses on GLADS, and SIX SAMURAI. With their ability to combine abilities with summoning, special summoning, and swarming GLADS and SIX SAMURAI have a good amount of strengths, but they have a bunch of weaknesses as well take the theory of yin-yang in ot consideration for every good strengths there are bad ones as wellm hence these twos biggest weakness "ATTRIBUTES". So the card of the day is Gozen Match. If u look past the ATTACK_DEF_and the text part of every card these decks there is one similarity the decks "DIFFRENT ATTRIBUTES"


 * GLADIATOR BEASTS atrributes in most top decks
 * EARTH
 * WIND
 * FIRE
 * WATER
 * DARK


 * SIX SAMURAI attributes in most top decks
 * LIGHT
 * EARTH
 * FIRE
 * DARK
 * WATER

This is where Gozen Match can bea an equalizer. GOZEN MATCH-each player sends monsters they control to the graveyard till each player has 1 attribute in their side of the field, and while this card is in play you cannot control mosters with diffrent attributes. and according to the rulings u can summon another monster with a diffrent attribute but as soon as it hit the field it goes straight to the graveyard and you cannot use any trigger effects because of that. So if u have YAICHI on the field and u special summon GRANDMASTER GRANDMASTER goes straight to the graveyard causing YAICHI not to use his effect. Its just as bad for GLADS u cant use laquari's effect to bring out beastiari or murmillo. Even worse if by chance u have 2 darius u can special summon GYZARUS but as soon as he hit the field it s in the graveyard and cannot use it trigger effect also its the same for HERAKLINOS with one other nice thing no DE_FUSION. So if u have this card it can really mess up anyones deck but u must find the right time to play this card this can work on lightsworns too if u see card that doesn't belong. If u use this card i would recommend having 2-3 Fake Trap  to protect this card. a deck i recommend ( since i use it well in this deck ) is a removal deck even better while u have macros for dimension fissure on the field use card destruction for better removal. Well this ends my first article i know my journalistic skills weren't up to par btu its a start and i hope this tip can give u more enigmatic power in ur dueling. Next article i found 2 cards u would can use effectively against lightsworns but combined can literally cripple this deck to its knees. Till then LOVE<PEACE<AND HAIRGREASEInygmazen 22:52, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
