The Tricky is a card we have seen on the cartoon, at
least once, used by the Pharoh against Yugi in their
final duel. He is a Level 5 Wind monster and a
Spellcaster, with 2000 attack and 1200 defense.
You can Special Summon the Tricky by discarding one
card from your Hand. While 2000 attack sin't going
to be game changing, it is something that could work
in your favor it you if you automatically use it to
tribute for something.
It's an interesting card that honestly I think some
Decks would be able to use for their advantage,
while others will find to be utter junk.

The Tricky
This is another card that we got too late to be of
use. Back in the Monarch formats, we could use him
for Tribute, beatdown or what have you. Nowadays, he
is just good for Synchro Summoning, and not all that
great at it, as the last thing you need is to invest
even more cards into one that id going to be a
magnet for destruction, either by battle or effect.
He does have some cool tricks, but to be Honest
(LOL) Dark Grepher and other cards all do his job
better. I think that the card is great ad merits
some further attention, but I cannot think of a good
use for it right now, unless you cannot afford/find
Dark Grepher for your Tele-DAD deck.

Todayʼs card up for review is The Tricky!
Another one of my favorite cards. This card is
decent at the moment but will get better after the
next set is released! The Tricky+ Krebons=Level 8
Synchro, and The Tricky+Psychic Commander=Black Rose
Dragon! I couldnʼt even say how much more it can do
due to their not being a full spoiler for the new
set. If you are thinking what it can do at present
time, it can still do a lot! Pitching Destiny Hero
Malicious or Treeborn to SS this guy is cool. Only
downside is the discard of course, but there is so
much you can pitch to what you want in the grave

I have seen The Tricky being used with Psychic
commander for a Synchro Summon of a Stardust Dragon,
but other than that The Tricky is just another
beatstick monster. Being special summoned is a good
thing right now, but having to discard a card to
special summon it is a cost I wouldn't want to pay.
It can get hit by either a Royal Oppression or a
Bottomless Trap Hole. By that time, the player has
already lost 2 cards. A better option is either
Berserk Gorilla or Gene-Warped Warwolf.

Tricky is near perfect
for DAD. Dark Grepher did so well because of it's
mill effects. This is somewhat weaker in a few ways:
a) It's not dark.
b) it can't continuously mill. This shouldn't be much
of a problem though.
c) it's not dark.
I think it balances out a little bit though with the
fact that it doesn't require a lv 5 dark. But just a
little.
Out of DAD, it's not that hot either. In some decks
that get dead draws a lot and need tributes it would
be good though. They are...nonexistent.
3/5 trad. A little better because of chaos.
2.5/5 adv. the whole unversitality of it with DAD
prevents it from being of that much use.
