Subject: A few deck themes and an unusual combo Hi this is Mirror_Post here with a few interesting ideas to take into consideration. (If you don't care about deck themes just skip to the end to read the combo.) Burning Beatdown Theme Is that even possible? Yes it is, using these cards together in one deck: 3x Spear Dragon, 3x Goblin Attack Force, 3x Black Pendant The basic strategy is to use the +500 equip on your already powerful monsters. The effect of Black Pendant makes up for the one weakness of Spear Dragon and GAF, the fact that they switch to DEF and are soon destroyed! Besides the 500 extra for battle damage you also get a guaranteed (unless they use Giant Trunade) 500 more damage when they destroy Black Pendant or the monster equipped with it. The math: SD(1900)+500=2400 atk, thats enough to suicide a Jinzo! GAF(2300)+500=2800 atk, only a dozen or so monsters can beat that w/base atk Stil with me, because I have another theme alteration to consider: Trample Theme Use: 3 Meteor Crush, 2 Maha Vailo/Asura Priest, Airknight Parshath, 3 Spear Dragon, 2 Block Attack/2 Curse of Fiend. Basically if you put all of these cards in your deck then your opponents weak defense monsters, especially Spirit Reaper and Scapegoat, will be singin the blues. What if your opponent only plays a few wimpy flip monsters? Simply use Block Attack or Curse of Fiend to turn the tables on them. Of course you might not want all of these cards in your deck at the same time, thats what the sidedeck is for :-). But with all of the current weak defense mons in the game you should still be able to deal major damage. The math: Maha Vailo(1550)+Meteor Crush=2550 trampler Asura Priest(1700)+Meteor Crush vs Scapegoat tokens=6800 direct trample, and since they are using SG for def they probably won't have any traps set >:-) and of course Airknight and SD can stand alone. <__________________________________________________________________> Ok here's what you really wanted to hear, the only decent Revival Jam Combo! *waits for laughter*--seriously this is actually playable and I've gotten good feedback on it so far. Heres the basic cards needed: Revival Jam, Patrician of Darkness, Spirit of the Breeze/Dancing Fairy Heres the advanced version of how to play this combo: Play Pyramid Turtle in attack and Last Will, suicide the Turtle and special summon Patrician of Darkness and Spirit of the Breeze/Dancing Fairy. As soon as possible play Revival Jam and the field is set for one awesome stall! If you don't believe/understand how these effects work together effectively just look them up on-line, if I may then I suggest using pokeorder.com, their search feature lets you find a clearly written description of every english card in the game. ___________ Send any response to these tips to>>> yugifan06@yahoo.com
