Getsu Fuhma IOC-089

Getsu Fuhma
Dark/4/atk1700/def1200
[Warrior/Effect]
If a monster that battles with this monster is a Fiend or Zombie-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.

This card is no short of being great. The effect is decent too. Maybe some of you are in a local area of the masses of Fiend and Zombie decks types. These typical types of decks have alot of support, maybe too much support to it if you ask me... :) Lets take a look at this card shall we?

You've got a Dark, 4 Star, 1700 attacker here and not to mention it's a Warrior type monster. The Dark attribute is a plus, Chaos-food. Is able to be searched by Reinforcement of the Army. Now, let's view it's defense... def of 1200... hmmm not very impressive :( but hey :) the effect may come in handy :D

If a monster that battles with this monster is a Fiend or Zombie-Type monster, destroy that monster at the end of the Damage Step.

You maybe asking yourself, 1700 atk monster won't be taking out any Zombies or Fiends anytime soon by without suffering battle damage, not to mention it's def is fairly weak. But the real defense here is the effect, destroying Fiends or Zombie at the end of the damage step that may have attacked or this card was attacked.

With Getsu Fuhma, you can take ou those pesky Spirit Reapers or those Archfiend Soldiers that your opponent continouly bashes you with.

The only downside to this card maybe would be against Dark Ruler Ha Des, that would render this effect uSeLeSS, or the Vampire Lord that Getsu Fuhma had just got rid of... so that won't be the last time you see Vampire Lord unfortanately :( but nonetheless, Getsu Fuhma is still a good card :)

With all Zombies and Fiend type decks all around, it maybe a good side deck for these types of decks. So suprise your opponent with a little advantage of a card that rarely sees play and it very underated.
 
Oh no!

I'm sorry for the error here... LoL

I goofed thinking I was beggining a Thread in the Card Reviews and Tips section of the Forums...

May someone move this thread?

Thanks alot, it's appreciated.
 
Getsu Fuhma usually enjoys a nice seat in my side-deck, and always in my main deck against zombie people. lets look at a little math like ratio real quick:

Getsu Fuhma is to Warrior Decks as Ryu Kokki is to Zombie Decks.

Its true too. Most warrior decks should use Getsu Fuhma for 3 main reasons:

1) It has an ATK of 1700, and most warriors have ATK's of 1000-1500, 1550 if youre lucky.

2) It can immediately destroy a zombie or fiend, and a lot of people have zombies or fiends in their decks, and zombies are quickly becoming one of the top 3 most common deck types, with fiends in the top 7.

3) Its DARK, meaning its Chaos food for those warrior decks that run BLS.

as you can see, Getsu Fuhma is very versatile. Those of you that have warrior decks, look through it real quick and see if any of your warrior 4-stars have an ATK of 1700 or more. I bet all you'll find, if you do, is Gearfried the Iron Knight, MAYBE, or MAYBE Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke. Some people may find Strike Ninjas, but not many, and those of you like me will see Amazoness Paladins, and of course there is D. D. Assailant, but those are ALL 1700. The sad truth is that the warriors worth decking with an ATK over 1700 are few. Goblin Attack Force, Zombyra the Dark, Mystic Swordsman LV4, and in some cases Dark Blade are the only ones out there with that kind of ATK. Now compare that to Archfiend Soldier, Giant Orc, Fear from the Dark, Regenerating Mummy, Spirit Reaper (who counts just because hes annoying), Double Coston, and all the strong zombie and fiend tributes. (Ryu Kokki, Despair from the Dark, Vampire Lord, The End of Anubis, etc.)

I think many duelists may find use to Getsu Fuhma, especially if they are low on monster destruction. Combo it with Book of Moon, Enemy Controller, etc., and watch it wreak havoc.

Just wish it hadnt lost the "Ninja" in its title through translation...

Rating: (for warrior decks)
4/5

Art:
3/5 Pretty nice art, but theres a few things i dont like about it...
 
Um, StRiKe_NiNjA - if Getsu Fuhma manages to kill Vampire Lord through battle (via high enough ATK) then Vampire Lord WILL NOT return because he was already destroyed by battle, and cannot be destroyed again.

Sorry if I worded my Reply incorrectly.

I mean to say if Vampire Lord were to attack Getsu Fuhma, and Getsu Fuhma destroy Vampire Lord at the End of the Damage Step, it won't be the last time you will see Vampire Lord.

My bad if you misunderstood my errors oh wise 1... LoL
