Card Tips:Black Garden


 * This card is great with a stall deck, since you don't attack much and if your opponent Summons a monster, you get a Token to defend yourself.


 * Because the Token's ATK is low, "Stumbling" is a good option.


 * A card that combos very well with this card is "The World Tree", allowing you to do a variety of effects every time one of your own Plants or one of the tokens get destroyed.


 * Plan on using cards that have ATK that is in multiples of 800, such as "Gigaplant", when using this card, so that you'll be able to Summon it more easily.


 * Combine this card's effect with "Adhesion Trap Hole" to vastly reduce the opponent's monster's ATK upon its Summoning, letting you easily destroy it with your Token.


 * This card's effect does not trigger upon Flip Summoning, so you can Set a powerful monster and it won't be weakened or Summon a Token when it is flipped face-up. This is a good strategy to use if either you or your opponent are using this card.
 * If your opponent does use this strategy, you can use "Black Rose Dragon" to switch his monster to face-up Attack Position with 0 ATK to destroy it easily.


 * Use "Fragrance Storm" to destroy an opponent's "Rose Token" and draw cards.


 * When your opponent's field is filled with Tokens, you can use "Just Desserts" to inflict 2500 damage.


 * Use "Pollinosis" to protect "Black Garden". "Pollinosis" will be easy to activate, since you will usually have a "Rose Token" to Tribute.


 * If your opponent only has "Rose Token"s on the field, you can send "Black Garden" to the Graveyard to destroy all the Tokens, and attack directly with the Summoned monster.


 * "Seed of Flame" is a good monster to use with this card. When you Normal Summon or Special Summon it, your opponent will get a "Rose Token", and "Black Garden" will halve "Seed of Flame's" ATK to 800, allowing "Seed of Flame" to count as another Rose Token. You can then use "Black Garden" to Special Summon a monster with an ATK divisible by 800 that much faster.


 * You can easily give yourself a "Rose Token" by Summoning "Lava Golem" or "Grinder Golem".


 * This card works well with "Seed Cannon".


 * You can use this card and "Miracle Flipper" to constantly generate "Rose Tokens". If you have an original or effect version of "Obelisk the Tormentor" in the Graveyard, you can use this combo until you get 5 tokens, though this would be difficult to pull off.


 * Combos well with "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6".


 * This card combos well with a Normal Monster deck using "Non-Spellcasting Area".


 * Use "Token Thanksgiving" or "Token Feastevil" with this card once the field is congested with "Rose Tokens".


 * Use this card in a Cyberdark deck because all Cyberdark monsters have 800 ATK,which is equal to the ATK of 1 token given by this card.


 * Chain "Black Garden", "Scapegoat", and "Token Feastevil" for an devistating combination


 * Having an "Ivy Shackles" activated when you destroy "Black Garden", you can destroy your opponent's face-up monsters, regardless of their natural types, and Special Summon a monster.


 * This card can be used with "Kaiser Colosseum" to ensure the opponent will gain a monster whenever you do and prevent them from summoning any non-token monsters.


 * This card can provide tribute fodder for "Obelisk the Tormentor" and he is unaffected by "Black Garden"'s effect.
