Subject: Using Toons - Vic Apprentice

My favorite cards...TOONS!!

Toons all have the same effect:

1) They all can attack life points directly if
there isn't another Toon on your opponent's side
of the field.

2) They all must pay 500 LP to attack.

3) None of them can attack on the same turn as
they were summoned.

Of course, Toon Mermaid won't last very long in
this enviroment. She can't attack the same turn
that she was summoned, and she only has 1400 ATK.
What to do? Well, in this tip I will be giving a
few tips on using the most sought after cards in
the game.

Nearly every Toon deck should have these basic
cards:

3 Toon World
3 Toon Mermaid
3 Toon Summoned Skull
2 Magic Jammer
1 Dimension Hole
Lots of Equip Magic cards

Yes, Dimension Hole. Magic Jammer keeps all of
those pesky De-Spells away, not to mention MST.
Toon World is esential. Toon Mermaids can give
2800 direct damage in 3 turns, 4200 in 4. The
equip cards are to increase the damage done to
your opponents LP, and raising the attack of Toon
Mermaid. Dimension Hole walks the thin line.
Protecting your Toons is vital during the first
turn that they are summoned. Toon SS is there for
the shear brute force that it packs being a Toon.
5000 LP IN THREE TURNS!!

Now, there are a few cards that I include in all
of my Toon decks. Jinzo, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon,
and Magician of Faith. Those three cards
drastically help.

I've also learned from experience that Manga Ryu-
Ran is not a good Toon monster at all. 2
sacrifices for 2200 ATK isn't worth it at all.

Healing cards are not as much as a help as you
might think. The idea of Toons is to destroy your
opponent quickly. If you play your Toons right,
hopefully you won't run out of LP before your
opponent. The average LP that I finish with is
around 3200 LP. That may seem low, but my
opponent loses LP a lot quicker than me. I suffer
the dammage from playing Toon World too.

This is a normal game for me:

1) Draw a Toon Mermaid, Dark Elf, Toon World,
Melevolent Nuzzler, and two other cards.

2) I play Dark Elf in attack mode if I go second.
If I go first, I play Toon World and Toon Mermaid
with Melevolent Nuzzler in attack mode.

3) My opponent usually plays a monster in defence
mode, briefly forgeting about Toons' effects.
(The players in my area don't see Toons that
often, and with a monster with 1900 attack, they
play the defencive). If I had a Dark Elf out on
the field instead, then my opponent usually plays
a monster in attack mode.

4) By this time, I usually have either Toon SS or
BETD. If Toon SS, I sacrifice either Dark Elf of
Toon Mermaid for it. If the monster I sacrificed
had and equip on it, then I pay what I need to
(unless Axe of Despair) to put it on top of my
deck. If BETD I play Toon Mermaid with any Equips
I have. Either way, I attack.

Me = 6500
Opponent = 6100

OR

Me = 600
Opponent = about 7700

OR

Me = 6000-6500
Opponent = 5500

5) Opponent starts to panik. He/she knows that I
have a toon out on the field, and I'm going to
eventually catch up.

This is basically what happens. It changes a bit
from duel to duel, but I eventually just start
pounding any LP my opponent has left.

The key to winning with Toons is to not be to
eager to play them. Don't forget, Toons are
special summons. If you don't play them right
away, your opponent might not think that you have
any in your hand. An awesome thing to do is to
Play Swords of Revealing Light, and then pile on
the Toons. If you've played enough, your opponent
can't get rid of any of them and they're dead
before they can even attack you!!

I know that this probably didn't help you as much
as you want, so if you want more info on my
Toons, just do one of the following:
