Card Tips:Jinzo


 * "Jinzo" automatically negates every Trap Card in play on both sides of the field unless he is equipped with the "Amplifier" Equip Spell Card. In that case, whichever player controls "Jinzo" regains the ability to Activate his/her own Trap Cards. However, once "Amplifier" is equipped to "Jinzo", your opponent can simply destroy "Amplifier" to destroy "Jinzo" as well.


 * You can also summon "Jinzo" from your Graveyard using "Call of the Haunted". Even if "Call of the Haunted" is destroyed, "Jinzo" won't be destroyed since Jinzo's effect negates the second effect of "Call of the Haunted".


 * You can also use "Jinzo" with "Silent Swordsman LV7", "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Spell Canceller," or "Secret Village of the Spellcasters" to make the battle a monsters only battle.
 * If you have "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", "Jinzo", "Destiny Hero - Plasma" and "Spell Canceller" it would make the duel a monster-only match and, if Hamon is in Defense Position, your opponent can only attack Hamon.


 * Lockdown your opponent with "Jinzo", "Amplifier" and "Imperial Order" (since "Amplifier's" effect can't be negated) and your opponent can't use Spell or Traps. It'll cost you 700 Life Points a turn, but it's much easier than summoning "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8".
 * If you can manage, play two copies of "Life Absorbing Machine", to negate the cost of "Imperial Order". Or you can use a combo of Solemn Wishes and Marie the Fallen One.


 * Use "Jinzo - Returner" to return this card to the field after it has been destroyed. Since "Jinzo" won't last past your next End Phase if revived this way, replace him with "Jinzo - Lord".


 * Use "Future Fusion" to send to the Graveyard Machines for "Chimeratech Overdragon" by sending 1x "Cyber Dragon", 3x "Jinzo" and 3x "Jinzo - Returner" and Special Summon 3x "Jinzo".


 * You can Special Summon "Dark Grepher" from your hand by discarding one "Jinzo", then use "Dark Grepher's" second effect to discard one DARK monster from your hand and send another DARK monster from your deck to your Graveyard. If you discard a "Jinzo - Returner" as the cost for either effect, you will miss the timing to Special Summon the "Jinzo". However, if you send the "Jinzo - Returner" to the Graveyard from the deck, you will be able to revive the "Jinzo". You can use this to swarm the field and summon "Jinzo - Lord".


 * Summoning this card while you have "Spell Canceller" and "Destiny Hero - Plasma" will force your opponent to completely rely on attack and defense strength.


 * Use "Jinzo" against "Macro Cosmos". It will prevent cards from being removed from play.
