Forum:Jinzo Synchro

I just had an idea. You know how old Tele-DAD decks would use Destiny Hero - Malicious and level 2 tuners for quick synchros? Well, when Malicious was limited, that combo became a bit less powerful. But have no fear... there's a substitute. It's Jinzo! Yes, THAT Jinzo. Why does it work as a substitute? Because of its support card, Jinzo - Returner.

Basically, I'm abusing the heck out of Jinzo - Returner and Jinzo - hopefully. The deck is untested, but I think it should work fine.

Arma Knight is first, at two. It can mill Jinzo to get it to the graveyard quickly, or Returner if Jinzo is already there, and other things too. Mystic Tomato is run at three because it can search so many great and important cards. Next up, I have two Jinzo and three Returners - two Jinzos reduce the risk of a dead draw. Even on their own, they can be quite powerful with their no-trap effect. Krebons is run at three, as an easy-to-special-summon tuner with a stall effect to boot. Dark Grepher is another great card, with the ability to send Jinzo and Returner to the grave in the same turn. Malicious is run in two - it's still amazing for synchro summons even if you'll only be using its effect once. Plaguespreader Zombie is another fantastic tuner that can come back. Dark Armed Dragon is a must with the amount of grave control and darks. Psychic Commander is another good tuner, and though it's useless with Jinzo, I have plenty of other monsters with which to put it to use. Card Trooper can load my graveyard and give me draw power at once. Finally, Gale is just good.

There are a lot of single spells here - in fact, all of them are! To wit: Allure of Darkness gives me draw power. Foolish Burial is the simple way to stick a monster in my grave. E-Tele is a great card for searching Krebons and Psycommander. RotA searches Armageddon Knight and Dark Grepher. Brain Control steals my opponent's monster for a synchro summon, tributing for Jinzo, or just beating face. Burial from a Different Dimension controls my graveyard count, and keeps my monsters in the game. Gold Sarcophagus is a great searcher. Dark Eruption controls my grave count, and brings many small Darks back for another go. Heavy Storm and MST are staples, and Hand Destruction is a great card for dumping Jinzo and Returner, allowing a special summon and draw power.

The traps are fairly basic. Bottomless protects me. Call of the Haunted combos beautifully with Jinzo, but also with any number of other monsters. Reckless Greed is more draw power.

The extra deck is also fairly basic, I think. So, tell me what you think of this concept deck! Runer5h 20:17, April 6, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
