Changes: Card Tips:Dark Hole

Revision as of 16:56, 18 December 2010

The best time to play this card is at the beginning of your turn, giving you time to Normal Summon a monster while your opponent has none.

Use this card while your opponent has more monsters than you. This is particularly useful against "Blackwing", "X-Saber" and "Morphtronic" decks.

Use "Dimensionhole", "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" or "Forgotten Temple of the Deep" to Remove from Play one monster you control so it won't be destroyed by this card's effect.

You can activate this card while you control "Crystal Beasts" to get them into your Spell & Trap Card Zone quickly for the Special Summon of "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder" while also leaving your opponent open for a direct attack.

If you have a copy of "Oyster Meister" on the field when you use this card, you won't be left defenseless due to "Oyster Meister"'s effect that lets you Special Summon 1 "Oyster Token" when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard.

If you only have "Ice Barrier" monsters on the field, including "Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier", use this card to only destroy your opponent's monsters, as "Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier" will prevent yours from being destroyed.

You can use this card to destroy "Yubel" or "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" to bring out the next form.

If you have monsters such as "Gigantes" or "Aqua Spirit" which require monsters to be removed from play from your Graveyard to summon, using "Dark Hole" to clear the field provides a decent opportunity to bring these monsters out, as they can then go for a direct attack or even be used as part of a Tribute Summon.

You can set Sand Moth, then play this card to make it return to the field with greater ATK strength.

If "Fortune Lady Light" is the only Monster you control, since your opponent will lose all of their Monsters, you will get to Special Summon another "Fortune Lady" from your Deck.

With a Black Brutdrago on your field and a Chthonian Emperor Dragon in your graveyard, you can use Dark Hole, revive Chthonian Emperor Dragon with Black Brutdrago's effect, then attack directly twice for 4800.
- Alternatively you can revive any gemini monster with high attack or a useful effect, such as Phoenix Gearfried.
- If you haven't normal summoned yet in this situation, you can revive a Tuned Magician and summon a non-tuner for two attacks and/or a Synchro summon.
