Co$t-Effective Cards - Destroyer

OK. I decided to do an article on "co$t-effective cards".

No, I'm not talking about their mana cost, I'm talking about how much they cost, 
and are they worth the price?

Every duelist and collector all have one issue in common: price. If a card isn't 
worth what it costs, then nobody will want to buy it. The best "co$t-effective" 
cards are usually commons and uncommons. Some good examples would be:

Darkness:

-Death Smoke (U)
-Bone Spider (U)
-Bloody Squito (C)
-Bone Assassin, The Ripper (C)

Fire:

-Onslaughter Triceps (U)
-Tornado Flame (U)
-Explosive Fighter Ucarn (R)
-Crimson Hammer (C)
-Tornado Flame (U)
-Rothus, The Traveler (R)

Light:

-Senatine Jade Tree (C)
-Frei, Vizier of Air (U)
-Toel, Vizier of Hope (U)
-Solar Ray (C)
-Holy Awe (R)
-Dia Nork, Moonlight Guaridan (R)
-Szubs Kin, Twilight Guardian (R)

Water:

-Aqua Hulcus (C)
-Brain Serum (U)
-Candy Drop (C)
-Faerie Child (U)
-Spiral Gate (C)
-Crystal Memory (R)
-Teleportation (R)

Nature:

-Bronze-Arm Tribe (C)
-Dimension Gate (C)
-Mighty Shouter (C)
-Natural Snare (R)
-Coiling Vines (U)
-Poisonous Mushroom (U)

These are just some of the excellent "co$t-effective" cards available.

Now the tricky part is really the super rares and very rares. Most rares are 
priced decently, unless you visit a store that prices them on their usefulness, 
not their rarity. Some good examples of "co$t-effective" holos
are: Bolshack Dragon, Scarlet Skyterror, Aqua Sniper, Explosive Fighter 
Ucarn, King Depthcon, King Ripped-Hide, Zagaan, Deathliger, Urth, Hanusa, 
Gran Gure, etc.

Their effects, costs, and stats are reasonable to good, and can be acquired 
at a somewhat "cheap" price.


In short, if a card's stats balance (cost, effect, power, etc.) aren't good 
and won't help your deck at all or not by much, don't buy it. However, if it

is expensive and
it is good in your deck, don't hesitate to shop around for the best prices 
and then save up until you can get it as long as you're sure it'll 
make a significant difference
