The Strongest and Easiest Yugioh Monster to Summon Is…

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

(Yeah, I know that I kind of gave it away… sorry!)

Yugioh Tribe Infecting VirusTribe Infecting Virus

Tribe Infecting Virus is possibly the only card that can destroy 99% of the monsters in Yugioh! You can discard a card and destroy a specific type of monster on the field. It’s a great card for defeating players that use type-decks, like Bandit Keith who uses a machine deck. The best part about T.I.B.’s effect is that you can use it over and over again! Plus, it’s only a level four Yugioh monster, so you can summon it in a breeze. It’s ability to destroy virtually any monster in Yugioh is truly unbelievable!

Top 15 Strong and Easy to Summon Monsters Part 1

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

I have been posting a lot of stuff about cards to have in a deck, lots of top tens, and many posts about monsters in varying archetypes. I recently got a comment from nader, requesting I write a post about the top 10 monsters who are easy to summon (through their own capabilities), and have strong effects. I could quickly think of some names. So I decided to go with the idea, and I came up with this list! I hope you guys like part 1 of the list!

Strong Fairy Yugioh Majestic Mech Goryu

15. Majestic Mech Goryu

Majestic Mech may be a level eight monster, however you can summon him with only tribute instead of two. Though it will be destroyed on your end phase if you summon it this way, Majestic Mech’s ability ensured it a place on this list. Even though it’ll only last you a turn, Majestic Mech can be used to deal penetration damage on your opponent for its effect is that when it battles with a monster that has lower defense than Majestic Mech’s attack, you can deal damage equal to the difference to your foe. Because Goryu has such a high attack power, that could be a game changing amount of damage. Plus, it’s great for dealing direct even for a turn. All of this for merely one tribute. Sweet

14. Freed the Brave Wanderer

Yugioh Freed the Brave Wanderer

Freed is a great way to obliterate your opponent’s monster defenses. All you have to do is to remove from play to light monsters from you graveyard, and you can destroy one monster on the field. The most abundant monster attributes in the game is dark, and after that, light. So, you should have no trouble using his effect. Freed is a four-star monster, making him easy to play. (Tip: Would be great in a fairy deck)

Strong Monster Yugioh Cyber Dragon13. Cyber Dragon

Cyber Dragon is such an easy monster to special summon. As long as you don’t have any monsters on your side of the field and your foe does, it can easily be played. Cyber Dragon can then be used as tribute for stronger monsters or as another for you to directly attack your opponent with! With 2100 attack points, it can be dangerous powerhouse yet it’s still simple to summon. yu-gi-oh-cyber-dragon

12. Fenrir

Yugioh Fenrir Strong Water

I wouldn’t say Fenrir is as easy to play as the my previous listings, but it isn’t impossible to play either. If you have a sea-serpent, fish, or aqua deck, Fenrir would be a great addition and it’s effect would be easy to facilitate. Fenrir can’t be played unless you remove two water monsters from play (not hard if your using one of the three type of decks listed above). All it has to do is destroy one of your opponent’s monsters and they skip their draw phase. It might not be as good as Yata, but Fenrir can still allow you to achieve a “Fenrir-lock” which is a broken maneuver all by itself. Therefore Fenrir has to come in this list.

Best Dragon Decoy Dragon11. Decoy Dragon

Though it’s only useful in dragon decks, Decoy Dragon is still a very helpful monster. First of all, it’s a level two monster meaning it doesn’t require a tribute to summon. Second, its effect is an easy way to special dragon type monsters. When Decoy Dragon is attacked, the controller can special summon a special summon a level seven or higher monster to your side of the field and switch the target to the special summoned monster. Not only is Decoy Dragon easy to play and has a strong effect, it makes summoning powerful dragons very easy as well.

Yugioh Monster Types Part 2

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

In my last post, I talked about the strongest monster from the first set of Yugioh monster types. Part two will include the monsters from the second set of Yugioh monster types. If there is any disagreement my choice or choices, feel free to comment on what you would have picked differently and why it is better than my choice. (Note: The decisions were made based solely on stats, effect, and how much it would help in its type deck.)

Plant - Tytannial, Princess of Camelias

Psychic - Hyper Psychic Blaster/Assault Mode

Pyro - Volcanic Doomfire

Reptlie - Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes

Rock - Earth Giant Gaia Plate

Sea Serpent - Brinonac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Spellcaster - Exodias (Obviously) - Amazing Combo: Arcanite Magician or Arcanite Magician AM, Alchemist of Black Spells, and Magical Citadel of Endymion, (optional) Crusader of Endymion. Though the Exodias are the strongest spellcasters, the combo mentioned above utilizes all spellcasters and is just as destructive.

Thunder - Batteryman Industrial Strength

Warrior - Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning

Winged-Beast - Dark Simorgh

Zombie - Kasha

Yugioh Monster Types Part 1

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Though I have written about Yugioh monster types in the past, I wanted to write a post about the strongest from each of the monster types. I think that though we all talk about the strongest monsters in Yugioh, overall, I thought  writing about the strongest monster per type is important because it can be a pathway for people to build their decks out of. I want to thank nader for giving me the idea. (Note: The decisions were made based on stats, effect, and how much it would help in its type deck). Let me know if you agree or disagree with my decisions.

Aqua - Tribe Infecting Virus

Beast - Mosaic Manticore

Beast-Warrior - Gladiator Beast Heraklinos

Dinosaur - Sauropod Brachion

Dragon - Stardust Dragon Assault Mode

Fairy - Neo Parshath, the Sky Paladin

Fiend - Yubels

Fish - Superancient Deepsea King Coelcanth

Insect - Brain Crusher

Machine - Chimeratech Overdragon

Yugioh Defensive Tactics

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

In Yugioh, there are duels that can be easily won in about 3-4 turns. Sometimes it might take 7-11 turns if you’re not drawing the right cards. However, some duels can take an eternity to finish or can be lost, if your opponent summons their ace monster. Though spells and traps help you throughout a duel, it is ultimately the monsters that will deal the most damage. So therefore, many spells, traps, and monster effects are used for protecting an ace monster. So how can you overcome a strong monster if your opponent is using everything in their repertoire to prevent that scenario from happening?

Destroying tough monsters isn’t easy. For a monster to be labeled, ’strong’, it’s got have powerful stats and a powerful a effect(s). So destroying ’strong’ monsters isn’t always a task that can be done in a couple of turns. Usually, your opponent will not have what I like to call an Ace deck. This deck’s sole purpose is to easily summon and protect the ‘ace’ monster of the deck. An example is the deck that Yubel uses against Jaden in the final duel of Season Three of Yugioh GX. The main purpose of her deck was to summon the Yubels and completely seal them from destruction. If your opponent does have an ace deck, then they will mainly be using cards that counter spells, traps, and monster summons.

If your opponent does use an ace deck, you must use a counter ace deck. This deck consists of strong level three monsters, such as Jerry Beans Man. This deck revolves around the usage of cards like Gravity Bind and Level Limiter B. Of course, you must also have cards like Mystical Typhoon and Dust Tornado in order to counter spells and traps that would threaten to destroy your level limiter cards (Gravity Bind, Level Limiter B, etc…). This way, all of your opponent’s ace monsters (which would most likely be monsters with six levels or higher) would not be able to attack and would be sealed off. Of course, cards like Yubel would be unaffected by this deck.

If your opponent does not use an ace deck, then more than likely they will not have as many spell/trap counters and you could destroy their ace monsters via spell, trap, monster effects, or by battle (if you can pull out a strong enough monster). Don’t surmise what kind deck your foe has based on their first turn. Every turn, sift your opponent’s card patterns, then conclude what type of deck your opponent has and counter it.

Yugioh Cards With the Best Artwork

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

I recently got a comment from nader regarding Yugioh cards with the best artwork. A lot of Yugioh cards have very sterile artwork, such as Dark Magician, Red Eyes Black Dragon, and of course, Kuriboh. I don’t mean to be callous towards the designers of the artwork for those cards, but the designs are just really bad. However, cards like Victoria, Honest, and Athena have some of the most beautiful art designs I have ever seen! However, though those three monsters are my top three, I would say Athena’s artwork is the ‘best’.

yugioh-athena

The reason I am so awed by Athena’s artwork is because of the glory and the sense of power that radiates from it. Not many Yugioh cards make me feel the sense power and grace than Athena. I really adore the pure white color of her clothes, skin, and hair. That along with the addition of silver really emphasizes are divinity. Also, I though that the red jewel on her trident was a good thing to add, otherwise the only colors on the card would be white and silver, and that would’ve made the art a little boring.

Yugioh Special Edition Tin: Creating a Yugioh Synchro Deck

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

For a while now, I have been looking to start a synchro deck. Synchros are one of the, if not the most popular type monsters out in the Yugioh world, so why not create a proto-deck with them? Plus, I was sick and tired of dueling my friends with my regular deck (and winning of course), so I also wanted to make a Yugioh synchro deck for the creative aspect. So while I was in Walmart today, I bought a Yugioh Special Edition Tin. The tin came with three Duelist Pack Yusei 2, one Ancient Prophecy, and three holofoil cards. Though I didn’t find any synchro monsters, I still got really nice cards.

A synchro deck cannot be sustained without having tuners. I may not have gotten any synchro monsters, I did find many tuners. I recieved two Hyper Synchrons, two Debris Dragons, a Sunny Pixie, an XX-Saber FullHelmKnight, and a Drill Synchron. I’m glad that I acquired Drill Syncrhon because now I’ll be able to summon Drill Warrior one of my favorite synchro monsters. Every turn, Drill Warrior can halve his attack points (2400) in order to attack directly. Plus, I can discard one card and Drill Warrior. On my next turn, Drill Warrior comes back to my side of the field and I can put one monster from my graveyard to my hand. That effect is very helpful when you’re trying to get back a monster that’s in your grave.

One top of my large amount of tuners, I also got a holofoil Tune Barrier, a trap card that allows one tuner on my side of the field to be safe from battle as well as from monster effects for two turns! It’s a good card to protect your tuners from your opponent during the times you’re waiting for tuning monster. Along with those tuners, I received a super rare Speed Warrior and a super rare Advance Draw. So all in all it was a great buy and the cards I received will be great additions to a synchro deck.

Of course, a synchro deck is nothing without synchros. Some synchros I have my eye on is Drill Synchron and Hyper Pyschic Blaster, as well its AM. If I do find a Hyper Pyschic Blaster, my deck would mainly be compiled of pyschic monsters and support cards for the, including a Prime Material Dragon if I can find one. Plus, I can still have a Drill Warrior in the deck. That’s a great thing about synchros. As long as you have the required tuner, synchros don’t need a deck theme to fit; they can virtually be useful in any deck. Based on my wants,  such as a need for Hyper Pyschic Blaster, can anyone reccomend me a deck list? I will add my own touches to the deck, but I’ve never made a synchro deck so I would really appreciate it if you guys could give ideas for a deck. Thanks!
