Card Tips:Obelisk the Tormentor


 * The effects of the "Piece Golems" can speed up this card's summoning considerably.


 * Similar to the World Lock, you can use 2 "Samsara Lotuss" or 1 "Treeborn Frog" 1 "Samsara Lotus" while you control no Spell and Trap Cards to use "Obelisk the Tormentor"'s field clearing effect every turn. Although you must lose 1000 Life Points every turn because of "Samsara Lotus" and "Obelisk" cannot Attack Directly.


 * A good combo to use with "Obelisk the Tormentor's" effect is to include cards that can be special summoned easily therefore getting monsters on the field to activate Obelisk's effect to tribute two monsters to destroy all of your opponent's monsters.


 * You can use "Fires of Doomsday" for this card's ability to destroy all monsters your opponent controls.


 * Use "Hardened Armed Dragon" to ensure you have a monster that can only be destroyed by battle.


 * Among the best choices to remove it are with cards that don't target like "Smashing Ground", using "Honest" to destroy it in battle or gain control of it with "Creature Swap".


 * A good combo to summon this card is to use "One for One" in combination with "Destiny Hero - Malicious" and "Evil Thorn". Discard "Destiny Hero - Malicious" with "One for One" and Special Summon "Evil Thorn". Activate the effect of "Evil Thorn" in order to Summon two more. Then use "Destiny Hero - Malicious'" effect to Summon another copy and then tribute all three to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor".


 * This card works considerably well in Six Samurai and Blackwing decks.


 * Use "Dandylion" as a Tribute for this card's Tribute Summon, then you can use the 2 Tokens given by "Dandylion" to destroy all of your opponent's monsters.


 * You can use "The Tricky", "Tricky Spell 4", and "Ojama Trio". First use "The Tricky", next use "Ojama Trio". Next use "Tricky Spell 4" and tribute for Obelisk.


 * When you have five monsters in the Graveyard use Soul Release and Return from the Different Dimension to summon those monsters and then tribute three of them for Obelisk the Tormenter and you can use the other two for his effect.


 * You can use Nightmare Archfiends and Owner's Seal as a combination to instantly Special Summon 3 monsters to Tribute for this card, which can also work for The Winged Dragon of Ra.


 * This card works well in a Remove From Play Deck. By using either D.D. Survivor's or D.D. Scout Plane's effect while Dimensional Fissure or Macro Cosmos is in play, you can continuously Tribute them for Obelisk's effect to clear your opponent's field.


 * Use your opponent's monsters as Tributes for this card's effect using Soul Exchange.


 * With some good Insect-Type monsters to put in your Graveyard, Spider Egg can both protect you from an attack and Special Summon 3 Spider tokens, providing another way to summon this card.
