Guess
who's back... back again... Okay I'll stop..
Anyways today is another version of Dealers
Choice! Today we will review our favorite Promo
card. However it cannot be a reprint (such as
Corile or Terror Pit). Sadly we cannot give
them any more love T_T.. So on with my
favorite Promo, it's none other than the
potential OTK Olgate, Nightmare Samurai.
Here's its stats!!

Set:
N/A
Well since it
wasn't in the data base I had to type all that
in.. Boy was that a pain. Okay back onto the
review.
Civilization/Type: Darkness: A wide
played Civilization. It's main focus is
destruction. Demon Commands are some of the
less played types because of the fact that they
cost too much (Exception of Daidalos). Here we
have a "High Cost" Demon Command. However I
don't know if people will use it for evolution
purposes like your Gigantic Ballom and wipe out
your opponents field. But I'm not so sure if
you want to possibly "waste" him.
Cost/Power Ratio: 7/6000 As I
said, pretty steep cost there. Though it does
come backed with a 6000 power monster, it
doesn't have a lifetime warranty. Let's see
what it's effect does come with.
Effect: First off we have double
breaker. Not so surprising for the fact that
plenty of these high cost creatures come with
that as well. I guess it is just the price you
pay for that power.. The second effect it unique
to this creature. It is the only creature to my
knowledge that has this ability. That by itself
it pretty cool. His effect can lead you to a
potential OTK. It states "Whenever on of your
creatures is destroyed, you may untap this
creature." Let's see if you can realize it.

Well if you
haven't already I'll lead you in on it. Say for
example, you have creature that can attack your
opponent, Olgate and Marrow Ooze the Twister
while your opponent has Five shields and no
creatures. First off, attack with Olgate (3
Shields). Second with Marrow Ooze (2 Shields).
Then because of Marrow Oozes effect, it will
automatically destroy itself, untapping Olgate.
Olgate will then swing and wipe out your
opponents remaining shields. Then your last
creature, whatever it may be, will attack for
game. Pretty cool, eh. Well, not necessarily
if your opponent has Shield Triggers. This is
where you can put in Cryptic Totem or Boltemous
(SP) into your deck, negating all your opponents
options.. Well just repeat your scenario
attacking with Cryptic/Bolt. first then Olgate,
then Ooze and then Olgate again.. Very cool
indeed. So now that we have been introduced to
the First ever "actual OTK" for DM, what do you
think about it. Very complicated to pull off,
but very rewarding in the end. Well that is
about all I can say for his effect, let's see
his ratings.
Constructed:(Built around him) 5/5
Well if it is built around him, you obviously
need him
Constructed:(Regular) 2/5 He can
be used, but with all the control, he may just
be Corile'd or bounced. Unfortunately he comes
with one of the games worst drawbacks, Summoning
Sickness.
Overall:(Average) 3.5/5 Not so
bad, but definitely stay away from your regular
deck and put him aside for your Binder or OTK.
Well that is
all for today. Hope you read this and enjoyed
it.. Please send any comments to
danieljs@bellsouth.net for e-mail or MSN.
You can also pm me in the forum under horus
master lv8.. Though I am not sure if I will have
power because of Rita. "Till next time, have
fun, happy dueling, good luck if you are going
to a Tourney, and God Bless!!
