Fiend Comedian opens our week, a very old card that
has quite the interesting effect. It's a very
interesting Trap card, one that I've never even seen
used before, but is that because it's a bad
card...arguably so.
It could be an interesting card to play as tech
against your opponent.
With Dark Armed Dragon, Synchros, and other cards
requiring monsters to be removed from the Graveyard
to be Special Summoned, removing your opponent's
Graveyard could be crippling.
Wait, there's the adverse effect too. If you call
the coin flip wrong, you send the number of cards
from the top of your Deck to your Graveyard equal to
the number of cards that your opponent happens to
have in his/her Graveyard.
That could actually speed your plans along for
whatever you might be planning, but it could cripple
you as well. You could have just lost countless
cards that you needed for your strategy and I don't
like that.

Well, this is actually a good card in the right
deck. It was originally used with the Exchange of
the Sprits card to get as many cards in your
graveyard as possible. Now, it can serve a more
practical purpose. Removing your opponent's
graveyard from play is an extremely good deal,
especially if their deck is invested in getting
cards from the graveyard to the field for things
like Synchro Summons.
Every competitive deck nowadays uses the graveyard
to some extent. Gladiator Beasts, Lightsworn,
Zombies, Tele-DAD and even rogue decks rely on the
graveyard to get their effects off. The best part of
this si that it is chainable, and also has the
ablity to completely ruin an opponent's strategy. I
actually prefer it over Dimensional Fissure or Macro
Cosmos, especially because of it's "detrimental"
effect.
If you call the coin flip wrong, then you discard
cards from your deck equal to the amount of cards in
yout opponent's graveyard. Hmm, now which decks need
a lot of cards from their deck in the graveyard?
WEll, Lightsworn and ZOmbies come immediately to
mind. Special Summoning Wulf and getting the
graveyard loaded for Judgment Dragon are great for
LIghtsworn. Not to mention that ZOmbies need Mezuki
and Plaguespreader Zombie in the graveyard to get
their comboes off.
I actually think that Big Burn is better, as it is
completely reliable. With this card you have no idea
which effect you are going to get, and it might be
the one you don't want at the time.

Todayʼs card up for review is Fiend Comedian. I
used to love this card back in the day, and it still
has potential in the current meta. The first thing
that comes to mind for me is to use this card in
Lightsworn. So you call the flip right, you can do
some serious damage, call it wrong and your deck
will explode and win you the duel in most cases.
Mill some Wulfs, Necro Gardnas, give yourself four
lightsworns for Jd, or even give the chance to add
J. Dragon back to your hand. Outside of that deck,
you could throw this into your side board if you are
gutsy. I could argue that there are better cards out
there than this like Kycoo, and Soul Release, stuff
that you know will go off with a better chance than
comedian. But, Comedian, can hit more out of the
graveyard, so it is really up to the player on what
better suits you, and how much luck you have.
Pulling this card off will basically wreck every top
deck out there, and could pave the road to victory.
