Ice Master closes our week, an
interesting Spellcaster, who sadly, I don't think
will see much play, even in Water Decks, and I'm sad
to say, this is a Secret Rare.Our Magician friend is Level 8, and
appropriately Water with 2500 attack and 2000
defense, which is low, for a Level 8 monster.
I feel it fair to point out, that
is not be being hypocritical of Dark Magician, that
I am simply stating a fact.Anyway, you can Special Summon the Ice Master
from your Hand by tributing 2 Water monsters...some
Special Summon.
Once per turn, you can place one
Ice Counter on 1 face-up monster.
Then, tribute Ice Master to
destroy all mosnters on the Field with an Ice
Counter(s).The problem being, how long will he stay on
the Field?
Not
a very long time, I'd bet.

This is the first of the TDGS cards that we are
reviewing and it is a rather cool one to boot. Oh
yay! GZ made a funny! Anyway, 2500 on a level 8
monster is horrible, just downright horrible. The
defense is meh, but as Prime Material Dragon has
shown, it is high enough to stop Book of Moon and
enemy Controller. It can be Special Summoned by
tributing WATER monsters, which is nice, and
certainly helps it's playability. If there were a
reliable way to make WATER tokens, then this would
be easy to bring out and almost worth playing. This
card does put a counter on a face up monster. Uh-oh,
counter effects are usually bad. Cloudians, Aliens,
Spellcasters and Venom monsters were constantly
hampered by the fact that monsters are short lived
in this game.
The second effect is golden. You tribute it to
destroy all monsters with Ice counters. As there are
other cards to put Ice counters on cards, this could
get interesting. However, you would have to kill 3
monsters to justify it's use. Dark Armed Dragon does
this for more ATK and less set up. The main problem
is that WATER monsters have so little support from
the newer sets that it is really hard to make one
playable. However, with all of the support that we
do get in TDGS, I think that we can make something
of this card.
I happen to be in a perpetual love affair with WATER
monsters, so I am going to say that this belongs in
a deck that can use it and abuse it. You should use
Alexis' other Ice monsters in order to get the most
out of it, but if you just want to play a fun WATER
deck, this guy can make some waves.

Secret Rare
Todayʼs card up for review today is Ice Master.
Iʼm not really in favor of this card whatsoever. I
personally think itʼs a horrible choice for a secret
rare slot. The effect is pretty janky too in my
opinion. The special summon part is pretty cool, if
you can get the resources on the field. This card
could become a little better if more Ice counter
like cards get released, you never know, its Yu-Gi-Oh
haha. Until more support gets released though, stay
away from the card

Apparently, this says all the GX
manga cards are getting turned real! YAY!
With this and cyber shark, alo,
and gigagago, I think a competitive water deck could
be built. All that's missing is a water d-draw,
then with warrior of atlantis, a few dark bribes,
terroforming, terrorking salmon, it's almost
perfect!
But this card is NOT good in an
ice deck, why get out this whopper only to sac it to
blast your opponents monsters? That dont make no
sense!
2/5 trad. Chaos dominates, and
this deck is still a little tender.
