Friday - Patrol Robo
Today's COTD is Patrol
Robo. It's effect is:
"If this card is
face up, during your Standby Phase,
you may look at 1 of
your opponent's set cards on the
field."
Now at first you're
thinking that this card is great
and now I can see what
the opponent is planning. BTW,
it says set cards, so
you can look at face down traps
in addition to monsters.
Well, if you look closely,
you'll see that this
card is next to useless.
First of all, it says
you can only activate the effect
during your standby
phase if it is face up. Since
your standby phase is
before your main phase 1, you
wont be able to use the
effect on the turn you summon
it.
Now let's say you do
summon it to the field. With a
weak attack of 1100,
there's really no chance he'll be
able to sustain any
attack and will be dead before you
have a chance to use the
effect on your next turn.
But let's say you use
waboku or something to protect
the patrol robo.
The opponent will still be able to
use magic cards to take
out the robo and since he has
an attack of 1100, he's
highly susceptible to fissure,
in addition to the
normal monster removal cards.
I give this card a 1/5.
It simply wont last long
enough to be of any use.
You're much better off
putting in a strong
defense monster or something with
a good flip effect.
