YGO Card Reviews & Tips

Now I'll review some cards that I DO like that's coming out. (Unlike Card Trooper) These cards are Destiny Hero support. But Destiny Hero, IMO, are way more powerful the E-Heros ever be. And with these supports, now they can be at a competitive level. (Seriously, these supports are WAY better then any of the E-Hero support cards given in Jaden packs) Let's start with the fresh new Destiny Hero Monster that in Aster Pack. -------------- Destiny Hero - Malicious Dark/Warrior/6/800/800 text from DMCOMET (i.e. not the offical English text) Remove this card from Graveyard from the game. Choose a [Destiny Hero - Malicious] from your deck and special summon it to your field. ------------------- Now the stat. Okay, for a level...

Another card of Aster Phoenix pack. Man, I guess I'm slightly biased but I am a fan of D-Heros. (I like Machines more though) Before, I just ran Dashers, but with this pack being released, I'll run more then just 3x Dasher build with all these effects. Wow, with the power cards of Destiny Hero Malicious and Destiny Draw are gone, now for some weaker, but still good, effects. --------- Over Destiny Spell - Normal text from DMCOMET (i.e. not the offical English text) Choose a monster with [D-Hero] in its name from your Graveyard. Special Summon a monster from your deck with [D-Hero] in its name that is halved of level of that monster. Destroy the monster special summon this way at End Phase of that turn. ---------------...

Opps, I meant CDIP-EN036. Sorry Yay, another review for me. Anyway, today I'm doing a Fusion Monster that IMO is "somewhat" worthy in your Fusion deck. (Along with your Cyber Twin/End, Gatling,. Dark Balter, etc.) Cyber Ogre 2 Earth/Machine Fusion/7/2600/1900 [Cyber Ogre] + [Cyber Ogre] This card's Fusion Summon can only be done by above cards. When this card would attack, increase this card's attack strength by halved of the attack strength of the attacking target monster. Lets see, Fusion monsters usually needs either insane ATK point stat or broken effect to be good. Cyber Twin/End have insane ATK stat (Twin is "potentially" 5600ATK points) and TER got one of the stupidest broken effect for a fusion that it got...

The current most popular and the best pull of the new McDonald GX promotion. You can get this by buying a Kid/Happy Meal or like a Toy. Anyway, among the 20 card, this is considered the best right now and one of the new hottest Dragons. (Man, what's with the dragon fad these recent months in USA, is Kaiba secretly controlling the USA Konami division?) Anyway, another Dragon, and another kickass effect that people have been waiting for. (No, it's not like "the best dragon ever" in Japan we never got. There are better Dragon monsters in Japan OCG that we still don't got) Anyway, let's see the stuff of this new Dragon. Effect Monster Dark / Dragon / Level 6 ATK 2200 / DEF 1400 When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned...

Another card, and meh, I'm SOOO running out of cards to review. This time, it's a spell card, and it's a card that's worth creating a whole deck theme out of. --------- Continuous Spell card The controller of this card pays 500 Life Points during each of their Standby Phases (this is not optional). Monster Cards that would be returned from the field to the hand are removed from play instead. --------- This card turns all bounce effects into removals. It pretty much sounds similar to Macrocosmos/Dimensional Fissure. Basically, this card can be a key in a bounce deck. It'll turn cards like Penguin Soldier into a card more feared then even Old Vindictive, turn Compulsory Evacuation Device into card more flexable then even...

I'm gunna review all three at the same time, cause their effects are VERY similar not to mention exact stats. Not to mention, they are the "key" mascots of this new Cyberdark Impact packs along with Cyberdark Dragon being the "king". Let's look at the similarities. Effect Monster Dark / Machine / Level 4 ATK 800 / DEF 800 When this card is Normal Summoned, select 1 Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard and equip it to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the equipped card's ATK. (skip) If this card would be destroyed by battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead. ------ There. Those effects are the same for all 3 of those evil machine cards that Zane uses. First, lets see it's stats. It's a...

Wow, I'm doing ALOT of CDIP. Maybe because I'm trying to tell people cards that are somewhat "worth" in this pile of stupid packs. Today is another non-monster review. So this is the effect. ---------- Flash of the Forbidden Spell Activate only when all of your opponent's Monster Card Zones are occupied by monsters. Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field. -------- Hmm, did I just read that correctly, the last line says, "Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field." Did I read that right or does this sounds like RAIGEKI here?! Wow, a card effect that have one of the most broken cards in YGO. There HAVE to be a negative factor here. And well, although it have no negative factor, it DOES have...

Another monster. And another card that's one of the few decently good cards in this deck. Snipe Hunter Effect Monster Dark / Fiend / level 4 1500ATK / 600DEF Discard 1 card from your hand. Select 1 card on the field and roll a six-sided die. If the results is not a 1 or 6, destroy the selected card. Okay, the stats. It's a level 4 that's 1500ATK plus Dark. Gee, that means it's REALLY easy to search. You got Tomato and Sangan to work with. And it's a Fiend so you can use Dark Necrofear on it. Pretty good start. It's DEF is only 600, but that's not too important in this case. Now it's effect. You discard a card to attempt to destroy a card on the field. ANY card BTW, it can be on the foe's field, or even your OWN field...

Wow, I'm actually reviewing a non monster card today in the review. Anyway, let's see it's effect. Trap - Normal Activate only when an opponent's card effect shifts control of a monster from your side of the field to theirs. Destroy that 1 monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to its ATK. Anyway, what does this do. Basically, if one or more monsters is gunna get stolen, you destroy that monster and do burn damage to it's ATK. Now, you might say, "I lose MY monster, what's the point." Well, like they say, "If your not with me, your against me." Better to lose your monster then getting your monster STOLEN. Seriously, with the popularity of Monarch Control and all these aggro swarm, stealing gotten more popular even...

CDIP-EN017: Vanity's Fiend EDIT: OH my god. I posted this on a wrong section. Mods, PLEASE move this to the correct section which is Card Review and Tips section. I'm very sorry I did this. Thank you. -------- Another review my me. And ah, we review the 1 card that IMO is actually VERY GOOD in this pack. (Other then Instant Fusion before the banning of TER. Japan just LOVED their 1x Instant Fusion with 1x TER in their Fusion decks for a bit of awhile. The only reason they didn't ran more was cause there wasn't more TERs in their fusion decks.) Today, we get a Tribute monster that pretty much says NO to monsters. Like how Jinzo says NO to traps. CDIP-EN017 Vanity's Fiend Dark / Fiend / 6 / 2400ATK / 1200ATK This card...

Here's the pic. http://shriek.twoday.net/20060824/ Provided by Entropy in this topic http://www.cogonline.net/threads.17970 Anyway, this is the effect. Normal Spell Select 1 card from your Deck and remove it from play. During your 2nd Standby Phase after this card's activation, add the removed card to your hand. As you can see, this is exactly the same as Different Dimension Capsule. Now, what's the difference between that and this? Well, although Different Dimension Capsule is a normal spell, it stays on the field. (like SoRL) And if it's destroyed or removed from the field prior from activating it's effect during the 2nd turn after activation, you do not get the card you removed from play. While this Golden Sealed Chest...

I have to do it. I mean, you should know I'm a machine fan by my icon and my sig. And this was probably the most hyped machine card ever in POTD. Was considered god tier 1 and the best thing since sliced bread, or in YGO terms, since Chaos Emperor ... (SMACK) Okay, okay, I won't say the rest. Geesh, did CED scarred you people that much? Anyway. Let's read the effect and see "why" it's so "broken" as people say. Chimeratech Overdragon Fusion / Effect Dark / Machine / Level 9 "Cyber Dragon" + 1 or more Machine-Type monsters This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Fusion Summoned, send all the cards on your side of the field to the Graveyard except this card. The original ATK...

It's been awhile since the doctor did some judging of cards. Well, I got sidetracted on studing for YGO I guess. Anyway, I'm back for some more. I guess some of the reasons why I haven't been judging is cause alot of the "new" cards were kinda boring to judge for me. (Well, except for Chimeratech, until they bombed the best support, i.e. Future Fusion, down to 1x) Anyway, I'll rate some POTD cards and some promos/Shounen Jump/etc. (like Magician's Valkyrie) Let's see, the card text ---- Destiny Hero Dasher Dark / Warrior / level 6 2100ATK / 1000 DEF Once per turn, by Tributing 1 monster, this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle...

I wasn't sure if this belongs in Card Review, Collectors section, or whatnot. Mods please move this to another board if you don't think it belongs here. Anyway, I read this from DMCOMET. Yes, I'm saying I got this info from DMCOMET! http://www.dmcomet.net/news/89.htm And this is the monster. VJMP-JP019 Darkred Enchanter Dark/Spellcaster/6/1700/2200 When this card is successfully Summoned put 2 Magic Counters onto this card. When you or opponent activates a Magic card, put a Magic counter onto this card. Increase this card's attack strength by 300 for each Magic Counter on this card. Also, you can remove 2 Magic Counters on this card, and randomly discard a card from opponent's hand. This effect can only be use once per turn...

One of my most wanted Spellcaster Monster FINALLY came out. Geesh. But I gotta say... CAME OUT A BIT LATE! But still... lets rate it. Magician's Valkyria Dark / Spellcaster / level 4 1600 ATK / 1800 DEF Your opponent cannot select another Spellcaster-Type monster on your side of the field as an attack target. Okay, wow, it's pretty short, and obvious that we've seen these types of effects before. It's the effects of Command Knight, Marauding Captain, Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower, etc. Basically, you either HAVE to attack that, or have to attack another type other then that card. Oh, and if they get 2x of the same card name on the field, you can't attack at all period. The difference is that it's for Spellcasters. Obviously...

Card # EOJ-EN015 Card Name: Majestic Mech - Ohka Card Type: Monster Monster Type: Fairy Attribute: LIGHT Level 6 Attack: 2400 Defense: 1400 Effect: You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing a monster. If you Normal Summon it this way, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. _____________________________________________________ I don't know about everyone else, but I have been looking forward to this card since I saw the text a few months ago. It is no solution to anything, it only fuels the fire. Yesterday, at the sneak peak, I got about 9 of these (which I'm known to do for about any decent card from every pack) then I promptly made an all light return deck and playtested it against my...

Gyroid Attrib: Wind Type: Machine/Effect Level:3 Atk: 1000 Def: 1000 Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally). Could this card be the new reaper card, has to be attack twice before its dead and once flipped down its effect is reset. i have tested this card in replace of the reapers i lost froma deck and it seems to work well.

JUMP-EN006-Unity JUMP-EN007-Yu-Jo Friendship JUMP-EN008-Judgment of the Pharaoh Ok, let's start with my very first reaction. *clears throught* AHAhahahaAHHAHAhahahahaHAHAHAlmaoHAHAHA! Phew, now the outburst is out of the way, let's talk about the cards. First of all Yu-Jo Friendship is... well how should I say this... hmhm... Let's just say I used to joke around (and still do) with friends about playing an imaginary card that does something like that... And now there's a reall card like that?!?! Dang it... I'll stop talking about it because I'm feeling a new outburst comming again... Well, the other 2 are decent... but not all that great. Bottom line is, after "Heart of the Underdog" and "Kaibaman" (wich both are quite usefull in...

Cyberdark Impact Super Rare Cyber Shadow Guardna CDIP-EN058 this card is going to be one of the new cards in the cyberdark impact set i like the effect if it works the way i think it does. my question is... will the attacking monster get destroyed? and if another monster attacks this card during the same turn will the card take the attack of the attacking monster? what do you think of this card? [Continuous Trap Card] This card can only be activated during your opponent's Main Phase. This card becomes a monster card (Earth/4 Stars/Machine/ATK-?/DEF-?) after activation, and it is Special Summoned to your field. When this card is selected as an attack target, this...

ZOMG! I can't believe it's this card that's the next preview. Cause this card ROCKS! First, let's see it's ability. Ancient Lamp Wind Spellcaster lv 3 ATK 900 DEF 1400 When this face-down Defense Position card is attacked by your opponent's monster, you can make 1 opponent's monster (except the attacking monster) be attacked instead. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Special Summon 1 "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" from your hand. -------- First, it's stats is pretty much crap. And we know WIND doesn't have that much support. And it's 2nd effect of summining "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp is kinda" stupid too. (It's a normal monster. So let's ignore those stuff and focus on where this card...
