Drew's Top Ten IOC
Cards
Hello Folks, This is Drew back again
with another one of my patented card reviews. This time, I have compiled a list
of the best cards from the newly released pack, Invasion of
Chaos.
10. Enraged
9. Reload- I feel that this card is
worthy addition to any Chaos or Exodia deck because of the options that it can
give you, even though it does give you a one card hand disadvantage. If you
don't pull an exodia piece in your first hand, Reload can surely help you
along.
8. Drillago- It may be on the weak
side attack-wise, but this little walking power tool could be a potentially game
winning card. When you are both at the brink of defeat and your opponent
topdecks that Vamp or Jinzo, this could deliver the damage that is needed to
clinch the match.
7. Manticore of Darkness- This is
yet another card that can lead an exodia deck on the path to victory. If you can
get a Card of Safe Return on the field, a manticore in you hand, and another in
the graveyard, you have basically won the duel. This combo is faster than the
Gearfried/Elma/Library combo and is a lot easier to pull off. If you need to
know how this combo works, just check the manticore's review in the COTD section
of this website.
6. Mataza the Zapper- Few people
recognize the true power that this card contains until a fully-equipped Zapper
is staring them in the face. Equip this card with United We Stand and you have a
card that could get you a direct attack almost every turn. The this thing is
basically Hayabusa on steroids.
5. D.D. Designator- I personally
pack 2 of these little babies in my own beatdown deck. After a hand attack from
Forceful or Confiscation, these can be the deciding factor in your victory or
defeat. Even that dreaded bird has something to fear when this card strolls into
town. It goes back into their hand and than removed from play the very next
turn. I've found this to be especially effictive after you both draw from Cyber
Jar.
4. Chaos Black Magician- When I
first saw the newly-restricted IOC cards, I had one big question on my mind. WHY
IS THIS CARD NOT RESTRICTED!? Dump three of these into the graveyard with
painful choice while you have a Monster reborn at hand, and you can
get them all onto the field at once and than a raigeki/duster afterwards to
clear the field for a potentially game-winning direct attack. Since these
are all special summoned, you could also summon a spear or jinzo to
aid with extra damage or trap negation.
3. Berserk Gorilla- This one card
currently holds the position of King of Beatdown Monsters. The gorilla is now
leading the wave of soon to be released 2000 beatsticks (such as the upcoming
Blade Knight). The ability to suicide vampire lord should have alone made this
card a super rare. But since it's only a rare, getting them is much
easier.
2. Chaos Emperor Dragon- Envoy of
the End- Their was an extremely difficult decision to make here involving
this card and the card that I have ranked number one. The ability to
further help a Yata-Lock makes this card very worthy, as well as its high stats,
easy summoning, and highly damaging effect. I feel that this can fit into any
beatdown deck as long as you are packing Reflect Bounder and at least 2
D.D. Warrior Ladies. But if you use this in a deck built around it, people will
avoid you like you are covered in chicken pox.
1.Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the
Beginning- When it came down to a fight between the soldier and the dragon, the
soldier proved to be the victor. CED may have one very good effect, but BLS has
two of them. This card could wipe out a Jinzo in one fell swoop and then go for
a devastating direct attack.
