It's going to be short and sweet
today folks.We're looking at Mind Master, a Light
attributed Level 1 monster with 100 atk and 200 def
who is a Psychic/Tuner monster.
By Paying 800 Lifepoints and
tributing one Psychic-type monster other than "Mind
Master" you can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower
Psychic monster from your Deck in face-up attack
position.It honestly isn't a terrible card for Tuner
Decks, but I don't see it as being the most useful
either.
It technically is a 1-for-1 as
you are trading one monster for another, (although
you pay the 800 Lifepoints) but if it helps you,
then play it.
Ratings:
No ratings.It only belongs in its own Deck.If you really need something, I thinking
about a 2.25/5, even where it belongs.Happy?

IMO, this is a mediocre Psychic. You do have to pay
800 AND sacrifice a creature in order for you to get
any level four Psychic from your deck. This is good,
as you can tribute Krebons or Psychic Commander in
order to bring out a Psychic Snail or something
else. This card just adds a rather expensive toolbox
element to a deck that already has Emergency
Teleport.
It can be very useful, as you won't always have
Emergency Teleport handy. You can also swap a
non-Tuner for a Tuner in order to Synchro Summon
Magical Android. However, that is basically the
limit of his capabilities at the moment. Other
Psychic Types are just better for the Psychic deck
and the Synchro deck.

Today’s card up for review is Mind Master. Wow
did this deck/deck type ever have a lot of hype
before they hacked the effect of this card. For
those who didn’t see the spoiler prior, here is the
change. Prior, you were able to sac off mind master
itself to summon a psychic from your deck. So you
can pretty much make a turbo with Overload, drawing
a bunch of cards, and in turn have big synchros on
the field. But now, the card is pretty bleh. They
pretty much killed the deck type from being really
competitive for the most part in my opinion. Sure
the deck is still fun, but their potential got
crushed, so sad!

Superficially, this card doesnt come off as all that
useful. Low attack, mediocre effect, and LIGHT
attribute dont make it all that great at first
glance. There is some playability in this card that
may not easily be noticed. First off, since this
card is a Psychic type monster, it can be Emergency
Teleported. It also is a level one monster, so it
may be just the tuner number needed to get out a
Synchro you need. Its effect synergizes with Dark
Armed Dragon. If Mind Master and say Krebons was on
the field, you could send Krebons to the graveyard
to search another one, and repeat this process if
needed to fulfill Dark Armed Dragon's requirement of
3 dark monsters in the graveyard.
Casual Advanced: 4/5
Competitive Advanced: 3/5 Limited combo-ability and
synergy make this card somewhat playable

Pros:
Tutors out Psychic-type monsters
Is a Tuner
Cons:
Extremely weak
Requires tributing other Psychics and life point
cost to get the tutoring effect
I don't see much use for it outside of a dedicated
Psychic deck. Being able to search the deck for any
card is definitely going to have benefits.
Unfortunately at this point it just doesn't seem all
that good. If it could tribute itself for the effect
it would be ridiculously better since it would be
able to get Krebons or Psychic Commander and be
another Emergency Teleport target. At least for the
time being, Krebons and Psychic Commander are much
better as Psychics and as Tuners.

Today we have the mini me of
Blowback Dragon. It has the coin flip and the pick
any card on the field and destroy it effect, but the
downside is that it has to be when it is summoned
and only once that turn. You also have to get both
coin tosses right or it was just a summon for a 1700
ATK monster. Twin-Barrel Dragon is weak against
Pulling th Rug. It would be great if your opponent
uses Bottomless Trap Hole and you targer their
monster and actually destroy it. That is the best
possible situation for Twin-Barrel Dragon.
Its a machine, so limiter removal
would bring it up to 3400 in a pinch. It is a dark
monster, so playing Allure of Darkness can help you,
but there are better targets. This monster is just a
casual play and wouldn't see any tournament play
soon, unless if they ban a lot of cards.
