Enemy Controller AST-037

I recommend this card to all players.

Probably known best as "2nd Change of Heart", and that's exactly why this card should see play.

- Take notice that this effect has 2 options:
+ Changing the Battle postion of your opponent's face-up monster that is in attack position to defense position and/or vice versa.
+ Offer one monster on your side of the field, and take control of one of your opponent's face-up monster until the end of the turn.

- Quickplay, spell speed 2 effect, a chainable card, works great as MsT, Heavy Storm, Dust Tornado bait.

- Very nifty card if against Burn Deck types, your opponent plays Lava Golem, get rid of it with Enemy Controller and take control of one there monsters.
+ For those Lava Golem decks who play Ojama Trio, get rid of a token and get control of a high DEF monster face-up

- For those who play Scapegoat in a control deck of some sort, offer a token and take control of any monster your opponent may have, your choice... score a Black Luster Soldier -EoTb

- It isn't just the Change-of-Heart-Like effect that makes this card so versitile, the battle position shift effect works great.
+ Berserk Gorilla giving you problems, eliminate it with Enemy Controller
+ Your opponent's down and out for the count, but, the only thing stopping you from winning is a measely Scapegoat token in defense mode, change it to attack with Enemt Controller, and do severe damage.


More uses to this card, but, I believe I've spoken my part about this cards playability.

Edited this post due to lack of readin cards THOUROUGHLY. Thanks Dlanaan lol

Both of Enemy Controller's effects can only target a face-up monster, so you will definitely know what you are taking when you play it. So, you also can't steal a face-down Magician of Faith, etc.

I've been pondering this card in my deck for a long time, despite its downfall of not being able to nab a face down card that can bite back at the opponent or give me the break I need it's still a fave card of mine.

I recommend this card to all players.

This is a card for decks that rely on field control. I would not stick a controller (or multiples) in just any deck.

 

[chaosruler]

this card is rather handy, however it should see limited play in tournament decks, besides field control decks

Last turn counter

You can chain this card if you face a last turn deck. Take control of Jowgen the spiritualist.

The only thing that puts me off this card is the fact that you have to tribute one of your own monsters to take one of your opponents. In that regard, I think Brain Control would be a better substitute to CoH (for me anyway).

 

[lzy3]

where do you find brain control? i've never seen the card / heard of it before.

It hasn't been released yet.

 

[chaos general]

yeah, brain control is a great card. OBVIOUSLY america doesnt have it because Shuisha hates us to bits. or something. they did give us the very much watered down brain control, however, called "mind control", which does not have too many uses but can be a good card.

enemy controller- really, i dont see the hype with this card. look at the drawbacks it has: can only target face up monsters, you have to tribute one of your monsters to use its other effect, etc. when i used this, i found that i usually only ever used its position changing effect, and that made me think, why am i using this and not book of moon?

sure it has chainability, but that doesnt neam you can always use it. if your opponent MST's it and they have no monsters, there goes enemy controller. if your opponent MST's it and they have a face down monster, there goes enemy controller. if your opponent MST's it and they have a Guardian Sphinx in attack mode, and you have a BLS, why use it at all? its not going to matter.

of course, it has very many good points too, but those already have been mentioned.

artwork is nice... ^_^

Japan doesn't have it yet either. It's upcoming in The Lost Millenium.

Would combo nicely with the other control gaining cards though, take control of a face-down monsters with Change of Heart (hope its a Magician of Faith or soemthing with a good effect like that) and then tribute it for Enemy controller. Evil. but read on:

It's chainability is more important for its Switch Mode effect. Monsters played generally have a high attack and low defense, the ones that do have a high defense are usually attack. And switching mode can prevent an attack. It's a good effect in the metagame (for now). It has a lot more uses than just against Berserk Gorilla and Scapegoat. Switch any of those 2400 attackers to defense mode where they can be destroyed easily.

 

[PerfectZelgadis]

I really like enemy controller. I use it in my Gravekeeper's Trample deck, and it's never let me down. I consider it a near staple for my deck type, but I don't like its for everyone. Its a good side deck for about everyone.

true, but everything you just said also applies to book of moon, and in that aspect, book of moon is better since it can also protect your monsters, not to mention be able to recycle their effects. (<-- run on sentence)

however, enemy controller is a good card, im not saying its horrible, but i think that it is a bit overrated.

oh, i was under the impression that Japan had brain control... maybe im thinking of that other card.... that i forget the name of... yeah....

also, if you take control of your opponent's monster with mind control, you cannot tribute for enemy controller's effect

 

[chaosruler]

Kycoo, if they played Last Turn on your first turn, you wouldn't have a monster to sacrifice to take Jowgen.

Just FYI

Not necessarily. One playing last turn might wait for the turn palyer to use up the normal summon for the turn. (If the turn palyer was holding a Night Assailant and another flip effect monster (including a night assailant) using last turn early would result in a draw or a loss)


*Checks to see if Mind COntrol text is in the Database yet* urgh.. no tributes at all. Unlike scapegoats. *Edits previous post*

lol, yeah i was about to say "umm.. daguywitbluglasses is really smart... why would he say that?!" (which i did end up saying) (heh.... ^_^;

what exactly brought last turn and jowgen to enemy controller?

 

[chaosruler]

i sorta meant to say, like, if they play it during the draw phase ^_^, sorry...lol

[chaos general]

hmm.. i just realized- a good thing about enemy controller is that it gives people more of a reason to use Invader of Darkness... ^_^
