YuGiOh
Yu-Gi-Oh has finally
gotten back to its
roots. In this games
infancy size made all
the difference.
Summoned Skull,
Blue-Eyes White Dragon,
and Dark Magician were
dominating threats once
they hit the field.
La-Jinn and Ax of
Despair were common
sights. Yet as this
game continued we slowly
found that it was not
the size of the monster
that counted, but how
well their effect
justified its use. Even
behemoths with 3300
attack stood no chance
to the likes of
itty-bitty spirit reaper
and Destiny-Hero
Malicious. This is the
case and has been the
case ever since cards
were introduced that
allowed players to think
about dependability and
resource management. If
Yu-Gi-Oh has taught us
anything it is that the
small will thrive due
their ability to
generate quick resources
as well as providing
stability/card advantage
without any major
payment. Light and
Darkness Dragon is the
first level 8 monster in
the history of this game
to justify such
mainstream acceptance
and to turn this proven
idea upside down. The
last Shonen Jump
demonstrated this when 3
of the top 4 decks ran 2
LADD each. This monster
has single handily
resulted in D.D. Crow's
abundant appearance as
well as accomplishing
one of the quickest
metagame shifts
concerning deck theory.
The reason for all this
results from his ability
to control what cards
your opponent is playing
while also being capable
of replacing itself on
the field once it does
its job, all rolled up
into the body of a
serious monster stat
wise. Thus with this
said I have begun
experimenting with this
awesome card. The last SJC I do not believe represented enough creativity concerning the dragon. I must agree (since I can not disprove it in my current position) that Destiny Dragon is the way to go. Who am I to argue with the likes of Fili Luna and Jerry Wang? This last jump demonstrated the future of this game, it also reemphasized issues discussed in my previous articles about who will win. (Almost all of the top 16 have topped in multiple jumps throughout various parts of the country. Crush Card Virus also dictated many games as well!) Nonetheless, this gathering of players has not gambled enough in my opinion. They have ignored the synergy of Foolish Burial and forgotten why Zombie decks dominated in the pre-LADD era. I now present to my readers three alternative ways to utilize one of the greatest monsters ever made. Monster (23) 2x Manticore of Darkness  3x Nimble Momonga 2x Giant Rat 2x Raiza the Storm Monarch 2x Light and Darkness Dragon 3x Pyramid Turtle 3x Zombie Master 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest 1x Treeborn Frog 1x Card Trooper 1x Marshmallon 1x Spirit Reaper Spell (14) 3x Foolish Burial 3x Card of Safe Return 2x Book of Life 2x Lightning Vortex 1x Pot of Avarice 1x Card Destruction 1x Premature Burial 1x Brain Control Trap (5) 1x Mirror Force 1x Torrential Tribute 1x Call of the Haunted 1x Sakuretsu Armor 1x Phoenix Wing Wind Blast ................................................................................ (41) Monsters (23) 2 Pyramid Turtle 3 Nimble Momonga 3 Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World 1 Giant Rat 1 Snipe Hunter 2 Sillva, Warlord of dark World 3 Zombie Master 1 Marshmallon 2 Light and Darkness Dragon 1 Morphing jar 1 Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest 1 Treeborn Frog 1 Spirit Reaper 1 Breaker the Magical Warrior Spells (15) 2 card of Safe Return 3 Dark World lightning 2 Lightning Vortex 2 Foolish Burial 2 Book of Life 1 Premature Burial 1 Card Destruction 1 Brain Control 1 Heavy Storm Trap (3) 1 Call of the Haunted 1 Mirror Force 1 Torrential Tribute ................................................................ (40) Monster (24) 3x Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys 2x Light and Darkness Dragon 3x Hand of Nepthys  1x Magician of Faith 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Spirit Reaper 1x Marshmallon 1x Sangan 1x Treeborn Frog 2x Destiny-Hero Malicious 1x Destiny Hero Disc Commander 1x Destiny Hero-Fear Monger 1x E-Hero Stratos 1x Crystal Seer 1x Card Trooper 1x Snipe Hunter 2x Apprentice Magician Spell (13) 2x Trade in 2x Destiny Draw 2x Lightning Vortex 2x Foolish Burial 2x Soul Exchange 1x Brain Control 1x Premature Burial 1x Heavy Storm Trap (3) 1x Mirror Force 1x Torrential Tribute 1x Call of the Haunted ............................ Each of these decks play in different ways. Obviously the first and third are more aggressive. The third one expanding off the ideas of my last article, accept this time around utilizing the dragon and multiple draw engines. The second deck plays more like a combo deck. One of the things that bothered me about the last jump was a complete disregard  to
Manticore of Darkness.
Foolish Burial allows
for the activation of
his summoning effect.
Raiza, Nimble Momonga,
Baboon, etc. all allow
for his summoning
requirement to be met.
Card of Safe Return
allows for an infinite
draw loop, thus
guaranteeing the right
cards will hit your hand
for game. Plus he has
2300 attack which is
more than enough to get
around many obstacles.
I am kinda curious about
dropping the dragon from
the second deck and
running some form of
dark world beast
control. I figure that
using the manticore draw
loop will allow me to
develop a large hand
which in turn will give
me Card Destruction and
thus an instant win.
This being accomplished
via Heavy Storm, Monster
removal, and a field of
2300 fiends hitting the
field. Obviously this
is another idea for a
different time, but
still cool to think
about. I invite each of my readers to dabble with these ideas. I would love feedback concerning your opinions on the decks as well as recommendations you all have tested that either improved or hurt each ones reliability. I am currently testing an Exodia OTK deck (an advanced version of the one posted on metagame last week) as well as looking for ways to make Dark Magician OTK more dependable. If anyone has suggestions do not hesitate in responding A.S.A.P. If anyone is looking to trade, I am currently interested in ultimate rare Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, Volcanic Shell, Nimble Momongas of any kind, as well as the cards posted on the bottom of my last article.
