Top 10 Commons -- Pyr0clasm7

 

These are what I believe to be the 10 best common cards currently out in the English Duel Masters environment.  They are ranked by their overall performance in a deck using that color.

 

10) Silver Axe- Green is all about mana acceleration and this guy gets the job done.  Everytime it attacks, you get plus one mana which can build up very quickly.

 

9) Deadly Fighter Braid Claw- The supreme rush card for red decks.  1 mana gets you a 1000 atk monster ready to take out shields next turn.  Just watch out for early game blockers when you play these or else you may find them dying quickly on you since they have to attack every turn.

 

8) La Ura Giga, Sky Guardian- Speaking of blockers, here's a nice one for you.  For 1 mana, light gets a 2000 blocker that also has the ability to attack other creatures.  This is Braid Claw's worst nightmare.  They are an incredibly cheap and effective way of stopping that double breaker from obliverating your shields.

 

7) Horrid Worm- One of the best basic monsters for a darkness deck.  For 3 mana, you get a 2000 attacker that forces your opponent to discard a card everytime you attack.  Your opponent will find themselves topdecking very quickly if you are able to attack with more than one of these every turn. 

 

6) Death Smoke- The first spell on the list and a good one for that matter.  For 4 mana, you can kill any untapped monster your opponent has.  With the exception of evolutions, this card will be able to kill any monster your opponent just summoned.

 

5) Corile- A 5 mana 2000 attacker with the ability to return a monster on your opponent's side of the field to the top of his or her deck.  This guy is just a pure nuisance if you are going up against a blue deck.  Not only does he stall your monster's attack for a turn, he also forces you to draw that monster again.  This guy is quite possibly one of the most annoying monsters there is.

 

4) Crimson Hammer- For 2 mana, you get a red spell that destroys a monster with an attack of 2000 or less.  This may not seem like much, but it is very cheap, effective creature removal, since a lot of the monsters seeing play in today's enviroment have low attacks backed by good effects.

 

3) Aqua Hulcus- 3 mana, 2000 atk, draw a card when he's summoned, what more could you want?  Draw power is where blue accels at and this guy is one of the best there is.  Having more cards in your hand gives you more options, which is very important in any TCG.  Plus did I mention he's a Liquid People?  (Crystal Lancer/Paladin anyone?)

 

2) Bronze-Arm Tribe- Quite arguably the best mana accelorator nature has.  Unlike Mighty Shouter or Silver Axe, with this guy, you reap the benefits of more mana the minute you summon him.  More mana lets you play more cards.  This guy does his job and he does it well.  He is also a Beast Folk, allowing you to evolve him into a Barkwhip or Fighter Dual Fang after he has done his job.

 

1) Spiral Gate- 2 Mana, Return one creature to your opponent's hand, and not to mention a sheild trigger.  An all around good card.  A cheap, effective, spell that is a must have for any deck using blue.
