Versago the Destroyer/God Of Destruction - Vasago:
TP1-015-Rare
Dark/Fiend/3/1100/900
Effect: You can substitute this card for any one
Fusion-Material Monster. You cannot substitute for any
other Fusion-Material Monsters in the current Fusion.
Well, there are 4 Fusion Material replacement monsters
at the moment; Versago, Goddess Of The Third Eye,
Beastking of the Swamps and Mystical Sheep #1. This
guy has 100 less ATK & DEF than GotTE, but she's a
Light type and Versago is Dark, making him a bit more
playable and Tomatoble too, but I guess GotTE is
Shining Angelable but still, Dark type monsters are
more favorable than Light at the moment unless you're
playing a straight Light Deck which I have seen become
more playable lately.
All these monsters are from Tournament Packs though,
so If you didn't pull or trade one yet, the only place
to really find them that I've seen are on the
Internet, my local card shop doesn't even have them.
Now for the actual stats... 1100/900... Obviously this
card is really only used for its effect and not much
as a field play monster. Since you can fuse monsters
from your hand it never has to reach the field to
begin with, and being able to replace ONE fusion
material monster can help out more than most think.
Like if you want to Summon Last Warrior but don't want
to put Maryokutai in your deck, or Summon TER without
putting the ever so week Thousand-Eyes Idol in your
deck, than you can throw in a couple FMRMs (Fusion
Material Replacement Monster).
With the upcoming release of Magicians Force
containing the X/Y/Z Fusion Monsters that DO NOT
require Polymerization or Fusion Gate, you can use the
FMRMs to get the insanely powerful YZ-Caterpillar
Dragon, XZ-Caterpillar Cannon, XYZ-Dragon Cannon and
XY-Dragon Cannon out onto the field ALLOT quicker than
waiting till you have the right monster(s) in hand or
on the field. So if you do plan on running a XYZ-Deck
than it would be worth using Versago and the other
FMRMs to get the Fusion Monsters on their rampage in
just a turn or two.
I know not many people play Fusion Monsters at the
moment but this next set may change allot of peoples
perspective on them and their speed, so wait and see
how many people in your area start looking to trade
for some TP1 & TP2 monsters that you may have
forgotten about, I know I'm holding onto my only
Mystical Sheep since it's the only FMRM I own at the
moment.
Ratings: Only in a straight Fusion Deck:
Casual: 3.5
Tourney: 3.5
ArtWork: 2.5 - An evil looking monster if I've ever
seen one, but even with its wraps and straps this
monster can destroy much more than a Sangan. |

Versago the Destroyer
3/1100/900
Dark/Fiend
TP1-015
You can substitute this card for any one
Fusion-Material Monster. You cannot substitute for any
other Fusion-Material Monsters in the current Fusion.
With the coming of Dark Paladin, Versago and the other
fusion substitutes should see a lot more play.
Getting Dark Paladin out without any fusion subs is a
very difficult task. That's where Versago and others
like him come into play. I chose Versago because he's
3 stars (to get under Gravity Bind) and he has a Dark
attribute. With all the Mystic Tomatoes running around
again, it makes it easy to get Versago onto the field.
You could even use Last Will if you were so inclined.
There are some other neat fusions you could use him
for like The Last Warrior from Another Planet but if
you're going to go through the trouble of summoning a
fusion monster, might as well make it the most
powerful one. In the set after Magician's Force,
there's also Black Flare Knight, a fusion between Dark
Magician and Flame Swordsman which should see some
play but if you're going to use Dark Magician plus a
fusion substitute, Dark Paladin is the way to go.
Well, 1100 ATK isn't going to win many contests.. Wow,
he can suicide himself to kill a Witch! Sinister
Serpent is no match for Versago! Anyways, he's not
really for attacking (or defending) unless you have
nothing else. If you were running a Black Skull Dragon
deck, with all the fiends you probably have in it, you
could probably use him as Dark Necrofear food as well.
Versago is a pretty useless card unless you're running
fusions. He or other fusion subs are absolutely
necessary in any fusion deck with fusion monsters that
allow fusion subs.
