Yu-Gi-Oh!:Featured Card/Jinzo

Jinzo 人造人間 - サイコ ・ ショッカー 



"Jinzo" is an early card dating back to Pharaoh's Servant. Since then the machine has always been a hot favorite amoung players of all levels.

Being one of the first high level monsters to sport both a decent ATK and effect earned "Jinzo" a spot on the Limited List, where he remained until September 2007, when he was relegated to semi-limited.

Shutting down Trap Cards is useful as "Jinzo" and other monsters the player may have could attack fearless of the opponents back line, while also letting "Jinzo" dodge "Bottomless Trap Hole" and "Torrential Tribute", something his "Monarch" rivals couldn't do. But could also negate the negative effects of the controller's own cards such as "Call of the Haunted".

Despite this some players came to simply consider "Jinzo" a minus one in Card Advantage, due to its associated tribute making it less splashable and often outshone by the "Monarchs", who could could remove apposing cards to make up for their tribute. However "Jinzo" was not deemed unplayabe as its Dark Attribute and Machine-type, made "Jinzo" very popular in Chaos and Chimeratech based Decks, particularly when backed with "Return from the Different Dimension".

Although his more powerful Deck types have been weakened with the forbidding and limiting of key cards, "Jinzo" hasn't lost any spotlight and may very well prove deadly in pairs.
