Well, today will be the last and final Card of the Week post, for come August, I will write a weekly Monster Card Comparison. That post will compare two different monsters and judge which monster is better based on stats, effects, usefulness, artwork, etc… Anyways, the last card of the week is card that I found in my locker during high school orientation this week. It was pretty funny that someone would put something in my locker before school even began, but what was funnier was that it was such an awesome card!
Card of the Week 7/30/10: Savage Colosseum
Savage Colosseum is one of those cards that you have to be extremely careful when using, but if used right, can be dangerous for your opponent. Magical Colosseum is a field spell that requires every monster (who is able) on the turn player’s side of the field, to attack. If a monster doesn’t attack (by remaining in defense position, Block Attack, etc…) This card is a great to destroy tuners and other weak/crucial monsters. On top of that, the controller gets 300 life points if a monster attacked. Savage Colosseum is a really big help when you’re losing for it has the capability to turn the tides. The only weakness Savage Colosseum has is that it is pretty useless when dueling a high level, beatdown deck…
Well that wraps up the final card of the week for July and the last card of the week post for this blog. However, you can still vote for who you think should win the card of the month award: Savage Colosseum, Dark Creator, or Mist Wurm!
After days of wait, I finally located a local game store that hosted unoffical Yugioh duels on the weekends. Obviously, after having created my new Infernity Dark World deck, I had to go in order to test it out. My results were good, but not as good as I had imagined. I won nine duels, but lost two. My first loss had nothing to do with my foe’s deck; I just had a terrible hand. However, the second deck I lost to was actually a pretty nice one. It was similar to the high-leveled beatdown deck that Chris Harbour was describing in his comments. That Yugioh deck consisted of cards that made it easy to pull out strong monsters in order to completely tramp over defenses. It was primarily a dark attribute deck. Some of the cards used was Dark Necrofear, DAD, and Raviel the Lord of Phantasm. However, the card that completely destroyed me was Dark Creator.
My first meeting with a Mist Wurm card was pretty hilarious! Towards the end of my trip to Nepal, my parents and I visited a common goods store to buy some items. In the store, there was a games section as well and it was stocked with merchandise of games like Beyblade, Pokemon, and even Yugioh! There was a special Yusei tin pack in the Yugioh section, and guess what the cover card was? Mist Wurm. However, it wasn’t just any Mist Wurm, it was a poorly made, fake version of the card. The Yugioh sticker at the bottom-right of the card was badly places, the title was in the wrong font, and even the holographic image looked more rough than bright. Though I was bummed out that I lost a chance to acquire a fierce synchro monster, that moment really made my day! Thus, I decided Mist Wurm should be my card of the week.
Gagagigo may be an old and forgotten monster, but it was the basis of one of my most popular contests in my blog. Though it doesn’t have an effect, Gagagigo still has 1850 attack so it’s pretty useful in some decks, especially reptilian decks. Gagagigo’s younger self, Gigobyte is one of the best cards to have in a Gravity deck. Because it’s a level one monster, it can be affected by Triangle Power thus making it a powerhouse in a Gravity deck. Gagagigo also has older forms known as Giga Gagagigo and Gogiga Gagagigo. Though it might not have a high efficiency rate, it has a lot of history and is a very significant Yugioh monster.
Non-Aggression Area was a trap card that I found while researching some anti-swarm Yugioh decks. Though I’ve had four of these traps in my collection, I’d never even bothered to read its effect: As long you as discard a card during your standby phase, your opponent cannot normal, set, or special summon any monsters in their following turn. Non-Aggression Area is an amazing defensive card! It could create wide-open attacks against your opponent! Non-Aggression Area is also a great card to fight swarm decks like the Blackwings or X-Sabers. Non-Aggression Area is also put to good use in a Dark World deck, where a majority of monster effects are facilitated by discarding a card(s). NAA is an awesome, easy-to-find, defensive trap card! It is also a nice card to have in an Infernity deck for it can clear the field for an OTK.
