Card of the Day!! - Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Sorry it's been a couple of days since I last did a card of the day but here's today's. Continuing with my trend of staple cards is Gorz! He can be incorporated into almost any deck and can help in really tight situations. His effect allows you to special summon him straight from your hand when you take damage from your opponent and you control no other cards on the field. Now, if you summon him when you take effect damage your opponent gets hit with the same amount of damage you took. Then when you take battle damage you get a token with the ATK and DEF of the battle damage you took. So while his effect is good he is not for every deck, but he can fit in nicely in most decks. I use him in a lot of my decks.

Card of the Day!! - Bottomless Trap Hole!

Today's card of the day is yet again another staple card for ANY deck out there! Bottomless Trap Hole is a must and I'm sure ALL of us have come across this card at one time or another. It can be a very helpful card for a remove deck as well because the very moment your opponent summons a card (whether flip, normal, or special summoned) it is destroyed and removed from play. With this card in your deck you will amp up your deck several folds. This card is semi-limited!!

Card of the Day!! - Brionac, Dragon Of the Ice Barrier

Today's card of the day is a staple card that is a great boost for any deck if your lucky enough to get your hands on it! Brionac is a level 6 synchro monster with a killer effect. You can discard any number of cards to your graveyard and return the same amount of cards from the field to the hand of the owner of the card(s). This effect is used mainly by sending monsters and face-down trap cards back to your opponent's hand. Brionac is a MUST have for any serious duelist! As for me I include him in ALL of my decks I build, just keep in mind he is limited due to his ability along with having 2300 ATK. If you are looking for one you'll be hard pressed to find one for trade easily and if you do find one up for trade it will likely take a toll on your wallet or trading card binder.

How to use xyz monsters

With these new creatures being released, I figured it would be about time to explain how these xyz monsters. These monsters are peculiar indeed; first, they are placed in the extra deck with any fusion or synchro monsters you have, but they are easier to summon. For this card named "Baby Tiragon", it needs three level 1 monsters to be summoned. How they are summoned is to fit the requirement the card says (like Baby Tiragon) and stack them below the xyz monster summoned. The monsters are then treated as xyz material monsters and help the xyz monsters unleash their true power. For Baby Tiragon, it's naturally not that great of an effect. He can send one xyz material on it and have one level 1 monster you have attack your opponent directly. I bet you're thinking "A level 1 monster? That's all?" Fortunately there are new methods to help this. A new card released, called Gagaga Magician, can reduce its level from any level from 1 all the way to 8, if only he's not used as a synchro material monster. But you CAN reduce his level to 1 and use Tiragon to have Gagaga attack your opponent directly. A 1500 direct attack is not bad at all; sadly some xyz monsters have negative effects if there are no xyz materials on them, such as Utopia. Utopia allows you to release one of his two xyz materials and negate an attack, but if he's attacked with no xyz materials on, he gets destroyed automatically. So xyz monsters have good and bad effects, but it all counts how you use them. Hope you get some xyz monsters soon to stay with the times! Happy dueling!   

The Magnet Warriors

Again, I am also sorry for not updating this for awhile. But now seeing we have fans, we have a mission to continue with this. Anyway, I am going to explain a archetype today; an archetype is simply a set of cards inside of a type that work well together. Let's go with none other than the four magnet warriors. If you recall, Yugi used these from Battle City until the end of the season. Even at the end of the season, a combination of the three weaker magnets is able to defeat the three Egyptian God cards with the help of an anime-exclusive trap that weakened the Gods attack when Slifer's effect activated. Anyway the only four magnet cards released were Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Valkryion. Alpha and Gamma are made more for defense, while Beta on the opposite hand is made for offense. The good thing about the magnet warriors is you can send all three from your hand to the graveyard to summon the ultimate magnet warrior: Valkyrion, with an attack of 3500 and a defense of 3850. Valkryion can also activate its effect, send itself to the graveyard and summon all three magnet warriors back from your graveyard. All in all, the magnet warriors are cool and can work well with the new xyz monsters released. That's all from this corner for now. Happy dueling!

Card of the Day!! - Neo-Spacian Grand Mole

Sorry for the months of not being on here, but here's hoping that'll change! Okay well getting things started again is probably one of my favorite cards of all time! Neo-Spacain Grand mole probably has one of the best abilities around, one that may not defeat your opponent, but it sure as heck will delay him and buy you some extra time . His effect allows you to return a monster that he is attacking or is foolish enough to attack him ( yes even though he only has only 900 ATK and 300DEF) back to your opponent's hand. The only downside to this being that he goes back to your hand at the same time. This means that he will be your only summon until you can work up a strategy, or unless your opponent is able to pull off some pretty good tricks. So overall this is a great card, that may buy time, but only for so long, defiantly a staple I use in almost all my decks I put together. This card is limited, so only one in your deck!

Card of the Day!- Stardust Xiaolong!

Here's the card of the day, Stardust Xiaolong. He's a level 1, Light attribute Dragon monster with 100 ATK and DEF. His effect is simply, when you synchro summon Stardust Dragon, you can summon this from your graveyard. Also if it would be destroyed once a round, it isn't. Obviously huge support for the Majestic Star Dragon!

Card of the Day!-Majestic Dragon!

Today's card is Majestic Dragon, a 1 star, Light Dragon tuner monster with 0 ATK and 0 DEF. His effect is cut and dry; he CAN'T be used for a synchro summon unless it's for a "Majestic" synchro monster. For the record, there are only two: Majestic Star Dragon and Majestic Red Dragon. However difficult that may be, it actually isn't. Just have either Stardust or Red Dragon on the field, summon this, then activate "One for one", to special summon a Level 1 monster from your deck. Just make sure it's a non-tuner!

How To Build an Elemental Hero deck

Here's a guide on Elemental Heroes; their main goal is fusion, as mostof the best monster are with that category. In the anime however, they have more fictional hero cards that have never been released in English. Most regular heroes require no tribute, except for Necroshade and Bladedge. Fusion support is HUGELY required in this deck; Especially with hero fusion support like Miracle Fusion, which remove heroes in the graveyard for a fusion summon. Oddly enough with the cards released, heroes could be extended into a Neo-Spacian deck with Neos released, but with the new fusions from Air Neos, Glow Neos, etc., it's not recommended. Super Polymerization is also handy in this deck. First you can have a fusion monster attack and then, during the battle phase, use De-Fusion and send the fusion monster back to the extra deck and summon the two monsters (or more) from your graveyard used to form it and have them attack. Finally, use Super Polymerization, also during the battle phase, and fuse the monsters again and have the fusion monster strike a third blow. Of course with Fusion Gate and Miracle Fusion, it won't work as they will be removed. Nevertheless, hero cards are rare at this point with new synchro cards being released, so finding one could be hard.

Card of the Day!- Changer Synchron!

Even though Changer Synchron isn't strong, his effect makes up for it. He's a level 1 Dark attribute Machine tuner with 0 ATK and DEF. If he's used for a synchro summon, you can switch the battle mode of a monster your opponent controls. If the synchro monster is something like Red Dragon Archfiend or Flamvell Uraquizas, that defense monster will be gone soon. Of course if the monster survives, it can switch back to attack mode next turn.

Card of the Day!-Jurrac Titano!

Here's the card of the day, Jurrac Titano, a Fire dinosaur with 9 stars, 3000 ATK and 2800 DEF. His effect, plain and simple, is he can't be targeted by trap or monster effects. He can't be special summoned however, but you can remove another Jurrac in your grave with 1700 or less ATK to give him 1000 ATK until the end phase. Otherwise, it is a very powerful monster and a miracle to stop.

Card of the Day!-Red Dragon Archfiend!

Red Dragon Archfiend, the card of the day yesterday. He's a level 8 dark dragon synchro monster with 3000 ATK and 2000 DEF. His effect is based off of a double edged sword, cuz when he attacks a defense monster, it destroys all defense monsters your opponent controls; his effect doesn't say the first defense monster he attacks has to be destroyed either, so that handles troublesome cards like Labyrinth Wall and other high defense cards. Unfortunately, any monsters that didn't attack, besides him, are destroyed at the end phase. This could be beneficial for cards like Sangan and Dandylion, whose effects trigger when destroyed.

Card of the Day! -Worm Zero!

  The card that any Worm extra deck should have! Worm Zero is truely the king of the 'Worms' his defense may be a weak zero, but its potential attack and effect make up for it tremendously. For the fussion of this guy you must use 'worm' monsters with differnt names and for each different one Worm Zero gains 500 attack. If you use 2 or more worms then you can select 1 reptile-type monster in your grave and special summon it in face-down defense position, this is very handy considering most worms have flip effects. If you use 4 or more fusion monsters you can also remove from play 1 reptile-type card from your grave and send 1 monster on the field to the grave! Now if you fuze 6 or more monsters for Worm Zero then once per turn you can draw and extra card! So overall this is a must for any 'Worm deck'.

Card of the Day!- Five Headed Dragon!

Here's the card for today, Five Headed Dragon, a Dark attribute Dragon type fusion monster with 12 stars and 5000 ATK and DEF. First off, he's the easiest fusion ever cuz all you need is 5 dragons, which can be accomplished by any 5 dragons or DNA Surgery to change everything to dragons. Also, you take no battle damage and can't be destroyed by almost any type of monster, except LIGHT attribute and most of those monsters can't reach his attack without help from cards like Honest. Theoretically, if you bring this out you may win the entire match!

Card of the Day!-Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!

Here's the card of the day today, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, a Dark attribute Dragon type with 8 stars, 2800 ATK and 2400 DEF. To summon him, you simply remove a Dragon from your field from play. In exchange for that cost, you can Special Summon Dragons once a turn from your hand or graveyard. He's surely a shoo-in for any type of Dragon type deck you try to run!

Card of the Day!-Dandylion!

Here's the card of the day for yesterday, Dandylion. It's very handy for synchros, cuz when it leaves the field, 2 fluff tokens come out, helping in tuning. It has 3 stars, 300 ATK and 300 DEF. Its also a plant, which works with Black Rose Dragon's effect and it's an Earth attribute. With the new banned card list in March, it's limited to one though.

How to Build a Dragon deck

So today's deck is a Dragon deck. This guy, Blue-Eyes, works BIG with this. He's the oldest dragon to date that's still used. A good deck strategy is using a card called Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, which can be summoned by removing only one dragon from your field. In return, he can special summon 1 dragon from your hand or graveyard each turn, to complement his already strong attack. Bringing out 5 headed dragon, or 5 God Dragon, is easy to do with this deck, as it only requires a fusion card and5 dragons. In any case, dragon decks can go any way..

Card of the Day!-Junk Destroyer!

Here's the card of the day, today: Junk Destroyer. First off, he can only be synchro summoned by using Junk Synchron as the tuner, obviously. He is a level 7 earth attribute warrior synchro monster with 2600 ATK and 2500 DEF. His effect is he can destroy one card on the field for each non-tuner monster used to summon this card. If you use as low of level as you can, you can destroy as many cards as you want!

Card of the Day!-Assault Mode Activate!

Ok, since it looks like Frosty is still A.W.O.L., Blazeofwar is doing the card of the day again, for Friday. Assault Mode Activate everyone, a powerful card that can tribute a synchro monster and summon an Assault Mode monster from the deck with the name of the synchro monster in the its name. Basically speaking, tribute Stardust and summon Assault Mode Stardust. A good thing about the Assault Mode monsters is they have 500 more ATK, 2 more stars and a better effect than the regular monster.

Card of the Day!-Stardust Dragon!

Here's the card of the day, Stardust Dragon. A wind attribute Dragon type synchro monster with 2500 ATK and 2000 DEF. His effect is easily put, tribute this card and negate a card effect targeting and destroying a card on the field and destroy it. AND it's resummoned during the end phase of all that. It also stops Bottomless trap hole's effect as it says destroy and remove a monster. This is Blazeofwar signing off; hopefully Frosty will have the card of the day tomorrow...well...today.
