Wow. This has the
possibility of being one of the most underrated
cards in the game. For a mere 2000 LP, you can use
your opponent's Raigeki,
Heavy Storm, Pot of Greed,
or other game-breaking Magic card. This card could
single-handedly win you the game. Combine it with
Confiscation or Delinquent
Duo and your opponent will be hurting!...
...
...OK, so maybe I'm
hyping this card up a little bit, but it's one of
those nasty surprises that your opponent will not
see coming. Enjoy the look on their faces when you
turn their own Magic card against them. It's fun
^_^
Score: 3.0
(it just may be one of the most underrated cards in
the set, or a total bust. You decide. I actually
have the Japanese version of this card, but it's
completely useless to me! ._.)

Normal Trap
You can take 1 Magic Card from your opponent’s
Graveyard. If it is your turn and you activate it, you
take 2000 points of Direct Damage. If it is your
opponent’s turn, you cannot activate it. The Magic
Card is returned to your opponent’s Graveyard at the
end of this turn.
This is definitely a really interesting card. It's
similar to Magician of Faith but it has it ups and
downs. The good thing about this card is that it's a
Trap card, so you don't have to waste your one normal
summon per turn on a Magician of Faith. The downsides
are that sometimes it's useless as your opponent might
not have any good Magic cards in his graveyard and the
HEFTY 2000 damage required to play the Magic Card. I
don't really like cards that are not too reliable like
this one. If you are going to play this card, I really
don't recommend you to play more than two copies of
it.

Wednesday - Graverobber
Today we look at one of Joey's cards, Graverobber.
You pay 2000 LP to use one of the opponent's magic
cards.
With a steep cost of 2000, you should only really use
this in do or die situations. Usually, you will get at
least one of those situations every game. However,
I'm not too fond of this card for 3 reasons. First
because if you are in a do or die situation, you're
probably not going to have 2000 LP left to play.
Second, magic cards can be easily countered. And
third, the opponent will need good magic cards in
order for this to work at all. Now if it allowed you
to take magic cards from either graveyard, that would
be a lot better.
I give this card a 2.5/5. It can certainly win the
game for you, but I think the disadvantages outweigh
the advantages here.

Graverobber -- Wednesday
Introduction: Oh, I get to borow your Raigeki, Thanks!
HAHAHAHHAHA!
Normal Trap
You can take 1 Magic Card from your opponent’s
Graveyard. If it is your turn
and you activate it, you take 2000 points of Direct
Damage. If it is your
opponent’s turn, you cannot activate it. The Magic
Card is returned to your
opponent’s Graveyard at the end of this turn.
Why should you use it?
*Recycle magic
*Counters Magician of Faith
Why shouldn't you use it?
*Losing 2000 Life Points
*Last 1 turn
Reasons: Today we look at one of Joey's card,
Graverobber. This card is
basically like the TV show, except Joey didn't ahve
topay 2000 Life Points
(of course he would be dead). This card basically
swipes an opponent magic
so you can re-use it. Maybe they have a Raigeki or a
game-breaking card?
Well if ruling is right, I believe you can use this to
counter Magician of
Faith. How? You let your opponent flip over Magician
of Faith, then you flip
over this card, then activate it to do it before they
get thier Magic Card,
countering their MoF effect. Now the main downside of
this card. You lose
2000 Life Points, which is a lot these days, since
most decks are really
deadly kills. This card last 1 turn, so you can't
really use any Permanent
Magic Cards, which some times you need to get the win.
Rating: Joey's favorite card, but defitantely not my
pick for a good card.
There are way better cards tha this, Light of
Intervention and/or Ceasefire
to counter effects. This card really wont' see any
play, unless your pretty
much playing like the show. This gets a 2.3 in the
don't get section.
Conclusion:
Joey: I activate this Trap Card, call Grave
Robber.....to get.....
Tremendous Fire! You are defeated!
D00d: You forgot the activation of 2000 Life Points,
you just lost.
Hahhahaha!
Joey: I will never play this card again!

Graverobber
Yet another super cool picture!!! ^.^ I love the way
this card looks but I would only use it in combo,
control and Exodia decks. I don't think Beatdown can
really use this card but then again I've seen Beatdown
decks packing Solemn Judgment. Having to pay 2000 Life
Points sounds really bad but keep in mind that your
normal Monster like La Jinn will hit you for 1800. If
my opponent had two Monsters in play I wouldn't think
twice about taking his Raigeki. In an Exodia deck I
wouldn't mind paying 2000 to get a Pot of Greed and
thin out my deck even more. It just depends of what
type of player you are and on how well you can use
this card.
There are a lot of times when this card can save you,
it's just a matter of knowing when to use it. Also
keep in mind that old saying... no pain no gain.

Normal Trap
You can take 1 Magic Card from your opponent’s

take 2000 points of Direct Damage. If it is your
opponent’s turn, you cannot activate it. The Magic
Card is returned to your opponent’s Graveyard at the
end of this turn.
The effect is nice,
it's the cost of 2000 Life Points that hurts it. If it
wasn't for that, I'd love the card.
Being able to recycle
Magic Cards through Magician of Faith as well
as Graverobber would have been insane. When
you think about it, the cost of 2000 Life Points is a
good thing. If it wasn't for that, EVERY deck would be
packing a playset of these things.
Now back to reality.
Graverobber is crap. And the worse part is
the fact that it's a foil card. That means if you pull
one of these, you lost the chance of pulling a decent
/ good foil. I really dislike it when Upperdeck /
Konami makes such unplayable cards into Super and
Ultra Rares.
Rating:
1.5/5
Minus the 2000 Life
Point deduction and you have a broken card.

I was waiting for a 'Change of Heart' to use on your
opponent's magic cards
^_^..it's just awesome..2000 LP is a small price to
pay to take your
opponents Monster Reborn when you really need one..But
the thing is..if you
get a Quickplay Magic card..you can't use it when your
opponent attacks you
