Card Tips:Forbidden Chalice


 * This card is best used with monsters you control with negative effects, specifically those with effects that affect them during battle, such as "Panther Warrior" (would negate his need to sacrifice a monster to attack) or "Goblin Attack Force" (would negate its mode-switching effect after it attacks).
 * Use this card with a "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" or "Beast King Barbaros" that has been Normal Summoned without Tribute to restore their original ATK back to normal and give them a 400 ATK boost.
 * Use this card with "Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür" to negate its inability to inflict Battle Damage and boost its ATK to 4200 for the turn.
 * You can use this card's effect on a Normal Monster with a high ATK, such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Elemental Hero Neos".
 * Use it on your own "Red Dragon Archfiend" to keep its effect that destroys other monsters you control from activating.
 * Use "Forbidden Chalice" on a depleted "Light and Darkness Dragon" to reset its ability to negate once the Chalice wears off.
 * You can use on either "Submarineroid" or "Sonic Shooter" while they are attacking directly. The attack will continue and will inflict damage equal to its total ATK, not its original ATK.
 * You can use this card with your "Il Blud" when its about to be removed from the field; the Zombies Special Summoned by its effect won't be destroyed.


 * You can also use this card against all of the forms of "Yubel" to attack it with impunity.


 * This card is also useful for defeating "Marshmallon" and "Spirit Reaper" and safely attacking "D.D. Warrior" or "D.D. Warrior Lady".


 * This card can also severely cut down the attack of an "Evil Hero Dark Gaia" since it needs its effects to maintain its ATK. This will make its new ATK become 400.


 * You can activate this card during the damage step on monsters like "Morphing Jar" to keep your opponent from drawing, or on "Legendary Jujitsu Master" to prevent your monster from being returned to the Deck.


 * You can target a "Gladiator Beast" monster to prevent it from getting its effect or tagging out. "Forbidden Chalice"'s effect is unlike "Skill Drain", and closer to "Gladiator Beast Darius"' effect. With "Skill Drain" active, "Gladiator Beasts" can still tag out, since tagging out is a cost, but with "Forbidden Chalice", their entire effect is negated. Thus, they are essentially considered to be a Normal Monster until the End Phase.


 * This card works well against continuous effect monsters like Jinzo which will give you a turn to activate a trap(s).


 * This card works extremely well against cards like Judgment Dragon and Dark Armed Dragon, since they pay the cost but lose their effects, or against Blackwing Armor Master to make him vulnerable when he isnt expecting this card.


 * This card can be used to break a 'CapLock'. Negate the effect of one Marauding Captain and attack the other, as it will no longer be protected.
