Giant Kozaky CRV-022

If there is no face-up "Kozaky" on the field, destroy this card. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed, inflict damage to the current controller's Life Points equal to the original ATK of this card

Another one of Kozaky's inventions, this one you actualy need Kozaky to use. 2500 attack beats Rare Metal Dragon's 2400 for a 4 star monster, and it's slightly easier to summon, but with 400/400, Kozaky (and Giant Kozaky) probably won't last long.
But if Kozaky is destroyed, Giant Kozaky goes with it dealing 2500 life points, which isn't good at all... But, there are ways around this!

Heart of Clear Water: Makes Kozaky indestructible enough for Giant Kozaky to last longer

Creature Swap: Switch control of Giant Kozaky to your opponent, and use the monster you got and Kozaky for a tribute summoning (or just destroy Kozaky somehow) and you deal 2500 damage to your opponent, and leave him one monster short!

Skill Drain: The problem here is that if Skill Drain goes, you take damage up to 7500 if you were using three

As a minor added note, it doesn't say it can't be summoned without Kozaky on the field, but why you would want to give up your summon to take 2500 damage is beyond me... unless your opponent plays it with Conscription, then they take 2500

In the end, it's a powerful 4 star monster that relies on a weak 1 star monster... but it could be very good if it had it's own deck built around it

As you can see, I'm a Kozaky nut and LOVE this card since it was in rumorville. I'm almost done making a deck that will abuse the heck out of the nuke portion of things 8^D. You don't need Kozaky to use this card. There is such a beat stick and tactical nuke built into this best! If needs be, you can tribute it for Deck Devastation Virus or give it some trample power.

With the popularity of Snatch Steal still around, Tailor of the Fickle can be a tasty little piece that will allow you to change the snatching over to your Giant Kozaky, when your opponent attacks, simply Book of Moon/Bounce/Whatever your Kozaky and they've been nuked 8^D

One ruling not to remmeber, Kozaky's first effect (the destruction part) is continuous. You can't chain/Divine Wrath it. The second part (if destroyed face up) is chainable, and I've got a couple Barrel Behind the Doors ready to prevent myself getting burned. 8^D

this card is the closest thing Ive seen to making a dream come true: an authentic Fiend OTK. Only time and practice will tell if it can be done or not. I can't wait for this to surface here in Guatemala, cause I have been waiting for too long.

OTK...I'm pretty sure...FTK...oooh, a little too much for that. But this little gem is reviving the Ring / Barrel combo and I finally got ahold of a ring this weekend 8^D I'm so giddy about this card its scary. I'm coming up with more options that I know what to do with.

Sidenote ruling wise...thanks to chaosruler, naturally....if you suicide your Giant Kozaky into your opponents during your turn, you'll miss the timing to chain Barrel Behind the Door. Just wait until they decide to do the same. Or even better, have a Bark of Dark Ruler handy. Main Phase 2, Shien's Spy or Creature Swap, then Book of Moon your Kozaky for more fun. 8^D
