Monday - Kycoo
This level 4 1800 attack monster lets you remove 2
cards from the opponent's grave when you damage their
LP with it.
The 1800 attack immediately makes it worthy in almost
any beatdown deck, but this card has an added effect
that should replace your la jinns and 7 colored fishes
if you still use them. Not only can you remove the
opponent's cards from their grave, depleting their
recursion options, but you also prevent the opponent
from using nobleman of crossout on your face down
monsters. It acts as a protector of your rv monsters.
It's also great against exodia decks as if you are
able to destroy a piece, then damage the opponent's LP
with this, you've basically won the game unless the
opponent is using miracle dig.
I give this a 3.8/5. If you're still using the normal
1800 monsters, i suggest using this as a replacement
as it is better in every way. |

Monday - Kycoo the Ghost
Destroyer
Happy St. Patty's Day
everyone! While you're enjoying your Jigg's Dinner
and green beer, we're gonna look at one of the more
interesting cards in the game (sorry, it's not
Irish, though =/)
Kycoo is a very
interesting card. At 1800 attack power, he can hold
his own with La Jinn, 7 Colored, and Harpie's
Brother, but can't beat Mechanicalchaser, Gemini,
etc. without some help. However, his effect can be
highly annoying to your opponent. If I remember
correctly, the Japanese version said you could only
remove monsters, so this version is actually
stronger, because now you can remove your opponent's
Pot of Greed, Raigeki, etc. before they can use
Magician of Faith to bring them back :) As you
probably guessed, his effect shuts down Exodia. Get
one part out of the game, and he ain't getting it
back. Well, he could get it back with Miracle Dig,
but don't remove 5 monsters in the first place :/
His second effect also
makes it pro-Exodia. If an Exodia player gets it
out on the field and keeps it alive, the opposing
Kycoos/Soul Release won't be able to remove your
parts from the Graveyard ^_^;;; And at only 700
defense, he can be searched out with Witch.
This is a very solid
card. It still has enough attack power to be
effective, and its effect can really mess up your
opponent if used correctly.
Score:
3.5

Monday - Kycoo the
Ghost Destroyer
LON-062
KYCOO THE GHOST DESTROYER
Type: Effect Monster
Dark/Spellcaster/4/1800/700
Effect: Each time this card inflicts battle damage to
your opponent's Life Points, you can remove up to 2
cards in your opponent's Graveyard from play. In
addition, as long as this card remains face-up on the
field, your opponent cannot remove any cards in either
Graveyard from play.
Super Rare
Kycoo is an excellent
Monster. IMO Bazoo is better (More on him when we do a
COTD), but that does not mean that Kycoo isn't worth
playing.
Personally, I prefer
using one of these guys in the Maindeck of my beatdown
deck as well as one in the side deck. Some of the
bonuses you can receive from his effect are:
Nobleman of Crossout
cannot be played.
You can screw over opposing Magician of Faith and
Bazoo. As well as the less
common Dark Necrofear.
And of course you can hinder the effects of your
opponent's Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted, and
Premature Burial by removing the more powerful
monsters in your opponent's Graveyard from the game.
Removing Exodia pieces
from the game is nice as well...Though, Exodia players
can also benefit from the second part of his effect.
And to top it all off,
he has 1800 ATK and is a Level 4. Even though 1800's
aren't what they once were (With cards such as GAF,
Mechanical Chaser, and Gemini Elf), they are still
worth playing. In smaller numbers that is.
Overall Kycoo works as
a great Side Deck Monster as well as a solid Main Deck
attacker.
Rating: 3.8/5 |

KYCOO THE GHOST DESTROYER
Type: Effect Monster
Dark/Spellcaster/4/1800/700
Effect: Each time this card inflicts battle
damage to your opponent's Life Points, you can remove
up to 2 cards in your opponent's Graveyard from play.
In addition, as long as this card remains face-up on
the field, your opponent cannot remove any cards in
either Graveyard from play.
This Monster will remove your options from play,
Once something hit's the trash it isn't going to stay,
Get rid of this guy via Fissure or Trap hole,
Because isn't winning the game your goal?
Today The Living legend himself Martin Moreno will
review a very strategic card. His name is Kycoo and he
destroys ghosts. Wait, Ghost destroyer? He removes
graveyard cards from play? HAHAHAHA, it ALL makes
sense doesn't it?
Anyway, the ability of Kycoo will really do a wallop
on your opponent if they think they are going to be
able to rely on a Monster Reborn or even a flipped
Magician of faith in order to recover key cards from
the graveyard. As I said before in my Gemini Elf
review, Kycoo will be one of the few 1800s still worth
playing. This card simply says no to Exodia once you
nail them by removing an Exodia piece from their
graveyard from play.
Your idiot of an opponent: "Well, my Exodia leg
MAY be in the graveyard, but wait till I draw my back
up soldier... [insert idiotic grin that I KNOW
all of you have seen at least once in a game against
someone]".
You: "Well sir, I will summon and attack with
my Kycoo and remove that there leg from the game
eliminating any chances of you getting Exodia in your
hand. (I'm sure not all of you have a southern accent,
but you get the point)".
Kycoo The Ghost Destroyer: Eat it ma'am.
So let's review this son of a kitten. The fact that it
makes cards like: Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted,
Magician of Faith and even Spear Cretin alot less of a
threat really make this a great addition to most decks
you may be running. Beat down will Love this card, at
least in a side deck as anti Exodia, but I myself
would feel confident enough still uncluding this 1800.
Rating: 4.0
"You gotta fight... For your right... too
MaaarrrTAY!"
P.S I love you Mistey!

Anaylsis: Had some time to do a Card of the Day so I'm
doing it right now.
Today we look at one of the most anticipated cards
(before we found out
about Gemini Elf and Magic Cylinder), Kycoo the Ghost
Destroyer. First off
everyone always notices it's killer effect. Whenever
this card does damage
to your opponent you can remove up to 2 cards from
your opponent's
graveyard, which would be super sweet. In addition,
your opponen't can't
touch your graveyard at all, so they can't use another
Graveyard removal on
you. The stats of this monster is somewhat nice,
depending on your
definition. It has a nice 1800 ATK with 700 DEF (for
witch). This means that
it will cut through most monsters in the environment.
Also since it's one of
the best type, Dark and Spellcaster, we might see a
small increase in types,
with Dark Necrophear around. Though this may seem to
be the perfect monster,
the 1800 may kill it for this monster. Gemini Elf
lurks around in
tournaments everywhere, and even locally. So beware of
a Gemini Elves.
However, this can be easily solve with Axe of Despair,
Mage Power, and
United We Stand.
Rating: A really good card. May be a bit over rated.
However, this only
works in certain deck, not all. So beware and use this
card wisely. This
gets a 3.9. Very solid card, however I played with it,
and must be used
properly.
Concludsion: Nice Card, Nice Effect, Inexpensive
Confusions: Well when reading this card I already
noticed two things that
will lead to confusions. First, any Japanese duelists
knows that the card
doesn't read "...remove up to 2 cards in...", but it
Japan, it reads
"....remove up to 2 monsters in...." This for sure
will led to confusion,
and whether or not Upperdeck/Konami decide to change
it to how it is. If
they change it to this, the rating of this card will
go down to a 3.5. Still
good, however, the monster eliminates lots of stuff.
So beware of this and
keep in track with rulings, so you know you don't get
messed up or your
cheating someone.
