I don't see why we use our good cards, even our
mediocre cards in the beginning of the week, and
wind the week down with crap, but it's not my call
usually. Closing the week, we have Maiden of
Macabre, who is a Dark Spellcaster that is Level 4
with 1700 attack and 0 defense.
Effect: This card destroys a monster, it gets a
Counter and gains 200 attack for each counter. This
really isn't worth playing either, and the effect
isn't quick enough or strong enough, especially for
this Format.

To settle this, the name is pronounced "makobb". I
have gotten like 3 emails about the pronunciation of
this card, so stop it NOW! Well on to the card. you
have a 1700 ATK Spellcaster DARK monster that gains
a spellcounter for every monster that it kills.
Right away that is not good, as the only Spell
Counter Card That really saw play was Breaker, and
even he sees little to no play right now. The fact
that she has to kill something in order to get her
ATK boost is even worse. Usually you need a HIGH ATK
in order to kill stuff, so getting bigger from
killing little guys is not generally a good thing.
Most monsters in the game competitively right now
are +1700 ATK, making your Maiden able to kill only
stuff like D.D. Crow, Sangan and Ryko. She is not as
solid an addition to the Spellcaster Lineup as many
more viable cards, but she can hold her own in
battle, and can even get to be a big beater if you
can kill enough stuff. It might fit well into Tomas
Mijares' Middle city deck, as it reduces all
monster's ATK down to a point where maiden can
actually be of some help to you.
All in all a cool idea, but just not worth the
cardboard she is printed on.

Today’s card up for review is Maiden Of Macabre.
This card is decent, but we already have quite a few
cards that have an effect like this. To put it
short, you shouldn’t be able to get this guys attack
too high with all the top decks, and what they are
using. If you are able to get this guy beefy then
Kudos to you! Stuff like Shrink and Book of Moon
will be this cards downfall, upon other cards of
course

Well, as someone or
another proved in the one tournament, GB andos was
good because of his attack. So this is good too,
right? Well, not really. Andos was versatile as it
could attack stratos on the first turn and it was a
GB so it had endless support. Unfortunately, this
takes quite a few turns to turn really powerful, so
no.
1/5 trad.

We had Dark Armed Dragon as DAD, now we have Maiden
of Macabre as MoM. The maiden is like Zombyra the
Dark, but instead it gains 200 ATK and spell
counters for each destroyed monster. It works with
Apprentice Magician and can be used for Deck
Devastation after two monsters she destroys.
Although it may not look like much, whenever someone
attacks MoM you can play shrink for damage and a
counter. Maiden of Macabre is a card I believe would
be better earlier in the game when there were less
effects going on to destroy monsters. I like the art
though. That is one cool scythe.
