Card Tips:Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

For Synchro Summoning

 * In a Disaster Dragon deck, one possible way to Synchro Summon this card is this: have "Trigon" and "Totem Dragon" in your Graveyard, while you control no monsters and have a "Debris Dragon" in your hand. Then, when your turn comes, Special Summon Totem Dragon with its effect (assuming that the only monsters in your Graveyard are Dragon-Type), Normal Summon Debris Dragon and activate it's effect to Special Summon Trigon from your Graveyard and Tune the three monsters for a Trishula. The advantage of this method is that you only need to Normal Summon one time, as opposed to Normal Summoning twice, or even three times for the Synchro Material Monsters and then worry about keeping them on the field while you Summon the other two on consecutive turns.
 * As far as having Totem Dragon and Trigon in your Graveyard is concerned, this can be accomplished either by sending them there via the effect of "Future Fusion", "Dragon Ravine", "Foolish Burial", or simply by searching them out with "Masked Dragon" (or Drawing and Setting them) and having them either attacked by your opponent's monster(s) or sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. You could also Tribute them to Summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, and then activate it's effect to revive either one (preferably Trigon, due to its higher DEF stat) from the Graveyard and use Debris Dragon to bring out the other one on your turn. This way, you'll get a Trishula and have a REDMD on your field.
 * Discard either Trigon or Totem Dragon to send the other one from your Deck to the Graveyard with the effect of Dragon Ravine.
 * Make sure to use cards like Giant Trunade/Mystical Space Typhoon/Stamping Destruction or have Trap Stun/Seven Tools of the Bandit set to ensure that this goes off smoothly.


 * Use "Urgent Tuning" during the Battle Phase after your monsters have finished attacking to have this card's effect activate and be able to attack.
