Card Tips:Morphing Jar


 * This card can be searched via "Sangan" and "Giant Rat".


 * Special Summoning this card with the effect of "Giant Rat" eliminates the purpose of using it, so you should activate "Book of Moon" to use its effect.
 * Use "Book of Taiyou to" activate "Morphing Jar's" effect on your own turn. This will keep your opponent from doing damage control by setting their own cards or destroying "Morphing Jar" before its effect can activate.


 * Having "Protector of the Sanctuary" present on the field will prevent your opponent from drawing from "Morphing Jar's" effect.


 * Use "Morphing Jar's" effect while you have "Magical Thorn" and "Greed" on the field. That way you will inflict massive damage to your opponent (2500 for the cards drawn due to "Greed" and 500 for each card discarded due to "Magical Thorn").


 * Set your spell and trap cards before "Morphing Jar" is flipped to get the most out of its effect, but keep in mind that suddenly doing so may telegraph your plan to your opponent, who might do the same.
 * If you draw "Morphing Jar" while you have a lot of cards in your hand, just try to play normally and save it until your hand is low, so they're less likely to expect it.


 * Activate "Trap Dustshoot" right after "Morphing Jar's" effect is activated to get a peek at your opponent's new hand.


 * Use this card's effect while "Coffin Seller" is on the field so that if your opponent has extra monsters in their hand they are forced to discard them and take 300 Life Points of damage for each monster discarded.


 * Give control of "Morphing Jar" with card such as "Shien's Spy" or "Mystic Box" and then flip it up/down with "Swords of Concealing Light", "Swords of Revealing Light" or "Dark-Piercing Light". If you have enough of these flip up/down cards, then you can perform a deckout OTK.


 * "Morphing Jar" is useful for activating the effects of the "Dark World" monsters.
 * Give this card to your opponent using "Creature Swap" then attack it with any monster (you can attack with the newly gained monster, as it does not necessarily have to destroy Morphing Jar). Since it's under your opponent's control this will activate the secondary effects of almost all Dark World monsters. This can be especially deadly if you have two "Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark Worlds" and two "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" in your hand, which will create an OTK. This can also be used as a cheap way to activate the effects of multiple "Broww, Huntsman of Dark World", allowing you to draw 6 additional cards for practically no cost.
 * Another idea is to flip summon this card during your turn, and then combining the strategy in the previous tip with "Book of Moon" (assuming you have it set, or drew it with "Morphing Jar").


 * This card is ideal in a Zombie Deck for sending any Zombie monster you want to Special Summon later.


 * This card can be used to counter Infernity monster's effects, by forcing your opponent to draw 5 cards.


 * Use this card in an Evil Hero deck so you may send Elemental Heros to the graveyard so they can be fused later. Drawing cards helps thin out your deck so the chances of you drawing "Dark Fusion" or "Dark Calling" are increased. If you're going to run this card in an Evil Hero deck, you might as well run "Hand Destruction" and "Card Destruction".


 * In addition to disrupting your opponent, this card is useful for replenishing your hand in decks with little draw power that tend to empty the hand quickly, such as Aliens.


 * Return 2 monsters to your opponent's hand with "Penguin Soldier", then flip this card over so they lose those monsters.


 * You can just wait till your hand is empty and then flip summon this card to draw. If you have "Forced Requisition" and if you have 5 or more cards in your hand then your opponent won't have any cards left for themselves.


 * Use this card against an Exodia deck if you are certain that your opponent has at least one piece of Exodia in their hand. Combining with "Fengsheng Mirror" or "Spiritual Water Art - Aoi".
 * If they're planning to summon "Exodia Necross" or "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" be sure to remove the pieces from play with cards like "Soul Release", "D.D. Crow" or "Disappear".
 * However, this card can also be helpful in an Exodia deck using "Exodia Necross", because if you already have all 5 pieces of Exodia in your hand, instead of declaring an instant win, you can use "Morphing Jar's" Flip Effect to discard the 5 pieces to the graveyard and if you draw "Contract with Exodia" as one of the 5 cards you draw from your deck, you can activate it and Summon "Exodia Necross".


 * This card's Flip Effect can also be useful to get rid of cards such as "Honest", "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow", or "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" from your opponent's hand(assuming that you already know your opponent has above cards in their hand). If they discard more copies, even better.
 * However, there are many ways to recovering those cards. Consider using "Soul Release" or "Crevice into the Different Dimension" to ensure that your opponent can't recover it.
 * If this effect activates during the Damage Step, "Effect Veiler" can't negate it and will discarded to the Graveyard, rendering it useless.


 * Reveal this card for the Maintenance Cost of "Koa'ki Meiru Sandman", "Koa'ki Meiru Guardian" or "Koa'ki Meiru Wall" to play mind games with your opponent.


 * This card's Flip Effect works well in tandem with "Des Koala's" because then you can inflict up to 2000 points of damage to your opponent when it is destroyed.


 * This card's Flip Effect works well with "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird's" effect because you can gain up to 2500 Life Points, 500 for each card in your opponent's hand.


 * This card works well with "Convulsion of Nature" because then you can use its' Flip Effect to get rid of cards you don't like.


 * This card's Flip Effect works well with "Silent Magician LV4" because it will allow you to quickly gain the Spell Counters needed to Summon "Silent Magician LV8".

Traditional Format

 * This card can be searched via "Last Will" and "Witch of the Black Forest".


 * Use "Giant Trunade" to return all of your opponent's Spell/Trap Card to their hand and then flip "Morphing Jar" to get rid of them.
