Spatial Collapse Perfect Lock and Variants - Lokarin Now when I say Variants I don't mean IOC-SE4... lol The Spatial Collapse Perfect Lock is quite legendary to pull off, because it requires 5 cards, thats 2 Ojama Trio, 1 Direct Attacker, and either 1 beat-stick or monster removal magic-trap and the great Spatial Collapse card I've pulled this off 7 times out of 10 with a deck built around it Opponent has nothing... lamo 1 Spatial Collapse, 1 Ojama Trio, Battle Phase, Kill 1 token, MP2, 1 Ojama Trio... Locked... now rely on your direct attackers (I use SoC) If your opponent ever wises up and suicide attacks with the tokens, at least you did some damage With this many traps a Jinzo could really hurt Thats why I always have an Aqua Spirit or 2 ready to put the hurt on The next most common situation is your opponent will have an average of 2 monsters on the field and a few Face-Up MT's, usually imperial Order, or some equip card (I haven't seen much high-level play so I don't know what the big cards are anymore) Hopefully they have Premature Burial Active on the Field... because its funny that way Play Spatial Collapse and GRAVITY BIND... then pick at them with Direct attackers, but eventually they will tribute away their monsters to shorten the field... try to avoid letting them tribute AKA mask of restrict Also beware of Gren Maju Da Eiza when GB is in effect, what good is a wimpy SoC when its taking 2000 damage from a Level 3 GOD This is most effective when your opponent has few monsters, maybe Mage Power and United We Stand, an opponent playing Equipps is very weak against these locks The next situation is the most safe... your opponent has Imperial Order, 3 Fake Traps, and some great monster on the field... this is very easy... because they are so busy protecting themselves from anti magic and anti-anti-magic... they don't see a direct attacker and SC lock coming The most dangerous situation is if Slow Burn is in effect, Slow Burn includes cards like Dark Snake Syndrome and Nightmare wheel... blah... because there is a very little chance your weenie SoC can do enough damage in time... The next most dangerous situation is if your opponent has every rare card know to man and uses them all... thats like HFD, HS, R, DH, 3 MST and a bunch of evil hater cards that serve no purpose except to annoy, since next turn somthing new will be played anyway... NOTE: if you have 5 FD traps down and 1 is a FAKE TRAP, and they use Heavy Storm, you CAN use Fake Trap to protect your cards... however you MUST show them to your opponent. Thats why you should have a Jurai Gumo, or GAF on the field just as a stopper... you don't need many monsters anyway. If Big Shield Gardna is ever released (GO SECRET RARE!!!) you should get 1 as a stopper. Once your opponent uses all their staples, even if you have only 100 LP left, you can still set this junk up in a single turn. Here are a few minor tips for delaying the game Magnet Cat's Lock Cat's Ear Tribe + Ring of Magnetism + Other equip = immortal kitty, then attack with directors (or even this monster if you use Opti-Camoflague Armor) Nekorama Neko Mane King = Don;t let them use spear dragon... you lose 1900 and don't get the effect, but this is a nice delay card, especially in FINAL and EXODIA decks, and an excellent counter to card destruction, delinquent Duo (if lucky), and others Gradius Lock Gradius's Option + Ring of Mag(Option) + Heart of Clear Water(Gradius) = immortal, and quite unusual, do not play Gradius decks with out major support (like Thousand Eyes restrict and MetaM) The, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, Lock Magical Scientist + 3 T-ER = stupidity in numbers... bring them out, steal monsters, and then MetaM them to each other, easy way to clear the field The, IF YOU LET ME DO THIS YOU DESERVE TO LOSE, Lock Gren Maju Da Eiza + Demotion + Opti-Camoflague Armor = I wish I had more time to prepare cuz I just lost in a quick 3 card combo (excellent as a backup) Well... thats it for now, just remember the key cards to this particular strategy set are Spatial Collapse, Ojama Trio, Gravity Bind, And any Director... If you think you can add to this Lock idea (Ojama Trio and/or Spatial Collapse ONLY) make sure the subject of you email is July 20 YGO (the day I wrote this) Do not send email to me about other tips I have done on any other web-page or even this one that predate this Tip... I officially expire all of my other tips Lokarin Lokarin@hotmail.com PS: Don't email me asking me what the hell i'm talking about in that last line... I just don't like getting month old Emails
