guess what?
so i just get this e-mail about the sneak peak new promo card and i think its pretty good but only for a six samurai deck here's the e-mail:

Hi everyone!

In addition to the judge contest that Alex just posted about, we have some more
exciting news about the Strike of Neos sneak preview.

A preview of the sneak preview card just went up on the official Yu-Gi-Oh! site.
Here's a link:
http://4kids.tv/forum//threads/330959

Please note that this card is limited in distribution for various legal reasons,
and sadly not every country's Sneak Preview will have the card available
(particularly in Europe). We are continuing to work to resolve those legal issues
for future events.

From the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! R&D team, we hope you enjoy reading about the Grandmaster
of the Six Samurai.

and here's the new promo monster:
Grandmaster of the Six Samurai
5 star
2100 atk
800 def (thats what it looks like to me)
While you control a face-up "Six Samurai" monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.When this card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect, add 1 "Six Samurai" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

Well, it's certainly a themed card. But not a bad one. I'm anxious to see the artwork of this one.
 
i was looking at the spoiler for the set and saw alot of nice support for the six warriors and i think i'll be making that deck now :D.
 
My Six Samurai deck just got upgraded exponentially! I am soooo freaking stoked about SToN, it's not even funny!
 
Hoho, skey23, what Six Samurai deck XD!?

Don't forget that you can only have 1 grandmaster on the field at a time! The theme looks well supported and might be the deck most run at the sneak peek. Personally, I could see the six samurai as a sub strategy to a deck, it has happened before to what was suppose to be "self-strategy" centered sets (Like the gravekeepers or elemental heros!).
 
Definately the BEST Six Samurai monster ever. If your serious about creating a Six Samurai deck, definately run 3x of these. It's a Cyber Dragon + Warrior Returning Alive effect. (How many times do you see Cyber Dragon being destroyed by a card effect... yep, ALOT. And so will this monster) And the only requirement is just being destroyed by your foe's card effect. Another words, it doesn't card if it's RFP or not. (e.g. Bottomless Trap Hole) Anything that have an effect kicks in when destroyed by a card effect is really annoying, ESPECIALLY if it have great stats to boot along with it and this one doesn't have "goes to the graveyard" restrictions. (Vampire Lord, SPoN, Sand Moth, etc.)

I mean, this card also makes Supreme General - Shien alot more playable. (Since it needs 2x Samurai on the field to special summon from hand)

You special summon Cyber Dragon in your hand. Then normal summon a LV3/4 Samurai, (Probably Zenji/Yaichi/Irou, since they are the best ones) then special summon Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, then special summon Head General... That's 4x summon in one turn. The only downside would be if your foe have Torrential Tribute ready. (Which they would activate no matter what if they have Torrential set, activating that "Warrior Returning Alive" or not. Nobody will let go of 2x 2100ATK + 2500ATK beatsticks on the field. )

Thank GOD you can't special summon all 3x of Grandmaster Samurai from your hand in one shot. (That's the definition of broken)
 
BTW, would grandmaster pick itself up? As in, say it was destroyed by your foe's card effect, and then you don't have any six samurai. Would Grandmaster's effect kick in when in the graveyard, and thus can target itself to add it to your hand? (I know that it doesn't have to hit the graveyard for the effect to kick in) If it can... it'll be really broken...

So whenever your Grandmaster is destroyed by your opponent's Spell, Trap, or Monster effect, you get a Six Samurai back from the Graveyard.

And here's a cool trick: the Grandmaster is a "Six Samurai" monster, too. He can return himself to your hand with this ability! Other strong monsters like "Cyber Dragon" come and go, but your "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" can keep coming back for more.

Of course, you don't have to get the Grandmaster back with his effect. You can get another Six Samurai monster instead. And since they each have different abilities, you can hand-pick the best one for your current situation.

If you've got another Grandmaster in your hand, the choice is even easier. Grab another Six Samurai from your Graveyard and Special Summon the second Grandmaster! (You definitely want 3 copies of this guy in your Deck. He's the foundation of any good Six Samurai strategy.)

The answer is yes...
 
..... that's really broke then. I mean, Summon Six Samurai, special summon Grandmaster. Attack, grandmaster hit a saku, then Grandmaster get itself out and special summon itself in main-phase 2 by it's own effect...

yeah, you can hit the OTHER six Samurai, but then you still have to deal with a 2100ATK beatstick. (Or that other Six Samurai can let Grandmaster take the hit instead by it's own effect) You can destroy that one later, but if your six samurai have a ROTA or another six Samurai ready, then Grandmaster will pick itself up. If you have a Grandmaster in your hand, then pick up that Six Samurai that got destroyed before.... okay... So it means you have to the Mobius/Thestalos/Jinzo attack this thing or Enemy Controller. (But EC is a -1 against this monster...)

Okay, I'm now really thinking of making this Six Samurai deck...

i know it could get a grandmaster already in the grave but i don't think it would be able to get itself back cuz its effect is almost the same as spear cretin and i know spear cretin can't get itself back when it destroyed
 
Spear Cretin sounds like an oddball ruling to me. It's ruled that a monster sent to the Graveyard at the same time as Spear Cretin CAN be selected by Spear Cretin's effect. In my mind there's no reason to believe that Spear Cretin cannot choose itself. After all, it'd be in the Graveyard when it tries to choose itself.
 
Yes, Konami says that for just about every effect like it! "Spear Cretin" and "Night Assailant" as examples, and of course they have to break their oath on it randomely like grandmaster XD.
 
So, can Grandmaster select itself? (I know that if there's another Grandmaster in the grave already, then Grandmaster can select that one, that's obvious) Wondering since this will make the "Broken" level or not.

Maybe I'll do a card review on this. This card is pretty powerful for a sneak preview card.

...It can get itself back ^^'...
 
Okay, in a Strike of Neos sealed pack, this monster get's a 5/5. It'll be the best beatstick people will play since six warriors are commons. (Except for Shien)

Dang... this card is broken level in Six Warrior deck.
