Here’s an interesting note: Ameba was the very first
card I ever pulled from a pack. I started collecting
hardcore in the days of Magic Ruler, and it’s the
first rare card I’ve ever gotten! I was a beginner,
so I thought Griggle and Ameba triggered as soon as
they went to the graveyard. In fact, I remember
scouring the pages of pojo.com hoping for a Card of
the Day Review on this very card!
Well, we’ve come full circle now and I’m now
reviewing the card I once dreamt to see reviewed!
What a delightfully smooth journey I’ve taken to
reach this point. Here we go!
Of course, I was wrong. Ameba triggers when switched
over to your opponent via Creature Swap or some
other method I’m not aware of.
JAELOVE’s CCG Strategy Tip:
Please publish my tip Pojo! Omg!
Ameba has one of the best one turn kill combos in
the game. OMG! All you need is:
Ameba + Axe of Despair + Creature Swap + Harpie’s
Feather Duster+ Your opponent’s Black Luster
Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning: It’s only a 5 card
combo! And all you need is for your opponent to have
BLS on the field! And an equip spell! And a Creature
Swap! Then you can win the game! OMG OMG! Just swap
it over then attack twice!
Okay, so now that you’ve all read the exclusive
first CCG tip ever written by JAELOVE, let’s
move on to the review.
Advantage F/H:
350/300 stats. Level 1. Pathetic,
right? RIGHT? Yes, I know you’re supposed to
Creature Swap or Metamorphosize him, but other cards
such as Sinister Serpent, Magician of Faith, and
such are FAR superior.
0/10.
Best Draw for the Situation:
Your opponent has 2000 life
points left…. he has a Chaos Emperor Dragon, a Black
Luster Soldier, and a Magical Scientist on the
field. In your sweaty palm, you’re holding a
Creature Swap. You close your eyes and draw your
card…. it’s Ameba! You play it face-up and use the
combo of the millennium, playing Creature Swap and
taking control of the match!!!??........ your
opponent flips over Imperial Order and you lose the
duel. The moral of the story is to never use Ameba.
0/10.
Attributes/Effect:
He gains two points for being a level 1 and having
an interesting effect. His stats are horrible,
however, and his type isn’t exactly optimal either.
2/10.
Dependability:
Let’s say you run 3 Metamorphosis and
2 Creature Swap. Neither combo is very dependable,
and Metamorphosis is better spent on GOOD monster
cards such as Magician of
Faith.
1/10.
The Bottom Line:
He was the first rare I ever
pulled…. And he STILL didn’t go into my beginner’s
starter deck, which gives you an idea of how good
this guy is.
A BAD Score:
2/40=
5/100.
Cards it functions well with:
Creature Swap, Metamorphosis. |
