Mike Bodzsar's Top 10 Fiends.
These are the top 10 Fiend type cards that nearly everyone running a
Fiend deck should probably be running.
10) Dark Jeriod:
PGD-056
DARK JEROID
Dark/Fiend/4/1200/1500
When this monster
is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, select 1 face-up
monster on the field and decrease its ATK by 800 points. This effect lasts
until the selected card is destroyed or removed from the field.
The reason, mainly because even though he has a low attack, he can
serverly hurt your opponent, especially when they have a powerful monster on
the feild such as Jinzo, Black Luster Soldier Envoy or Blue Eyes making them
all bait to your more powerful monsters.
9) Giant Germ:
Dark/2/1000/100
[Fiend/Effect]
When this card is sent to the
Graveyard as a result of Battle, inflict 500 points of Direct Damage to your
opponent's Life Points. You can also take cards of the same name from your
Deck and Special Summon them to the Field in face-up Attack Position. The
Deck is then shuffled.
This is a great card for Fiend decks for 3 reasons:
a) Does burn damage when destroyed in battle.
b) When destroyed, swarms the field.
c) Necrofear food once in Graveyard.
Anyone running fiend should consider running 3 of them.
8) Giant Orc:
Dark/4/2200/0
[Fiend/Effect]
Effect: When this card attacks, it
is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. This position
cannot be changed until the end of your next turn. ATK 2200/ DEF
0
Basically, hes a Goblin Attack Force thats 100 ATK points weaker, but
he's a fiend. Hes strong enough to take out most of your opponents
monsters on the field but is an easy target once he switches to
defense. He can put a serious hurting on your opponents LP if they have
a clear feild, but since he still has the GAF effect built in, I ranked him
8.
7) Night Assailant:
Fiend / Effect Monster
FLIP: Select 1
monster on your opponent's side of the field and destroy it. When this card
is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard, return 1 Flip Effect
Monster from your Graveyard to your hand. ATK 200/ DEF
500
This just came out in the new AST set and is a God-send to
fiend deck users alike. Hes a fiend version of Man-Eater Bug and
because of his second effect is why hes an ingenious monster. When hes
sent to the Graveyard,from the hand, get a flip effect monster back!
Did anyone say Slate Warrior?? Awsome monster, but because hes
somewhat weaker than M.E.B. I ranked him 7.
6) Slate Warrior:
Fiend / Effect Monster
FLIP: Increase the ATK and DEF
of this monster by 500 points. The ATK and DEF of a monster that destroys
this monster as a result of battle is decreased by 500
points. ATK1900/ DEF 500
This is probably the single most powerful fiend monster that
you can summon without a tribute, only below Giant Orc. First a solid
1900 ATK, which is very nice especially in todays metagame. Second,
500 DEF means he's Witchable. I doubt many people will actually use
his flip effect, but just in case hes destroyed by Jinzo, Vampire Lord,
etc... He reduces them by 500 ATK making them prey for some of your weakest
monsters.
5) Dark Balter the Terrible:
Fiend / Fusion / Effect
Monster
"Possessed Dark Soul" + "Frontier Wiseman" This monster can only
be Fusion Summoned by the above Fusion-Material Monsters. When a Normal
Spell Card is activated, negate the effect by paying 1000 Life Points. Also
negate the effect of an Effect Monster that is destroyed by this monster in
Battle. ATK 2000/ DEF 1200
Awsome card for decks that run Magical Scientist. Built
in Dark Ruler Hades Effect, along with the ability to negate Magic cards at
a small cost. Or, even better, use Scientist to grab a Level 5 monster
from the fusion deck, play metamorphasis and keep Balter on the field.
No more needs to be said, great card.
4) Dark Necrofear:
Dark/Fiend/8/2200/2800/Effect
This card can only be
Special Summoned by removing 3 Fiend-Type monsters in your Graveyard from
play. When this card is destroyed in battle or by your opponent's card
effect, it is treated as an Equip Magic Card at the end of the turn. Equip 1
of your opponent's monsters with this card. As long as it is equipped with
this card, you control the equipped monster.
I know fiend lovers are going to be angry that I put him so
low on the list, but personally I dont think hes all that great.
If you have alot of fiends in the deck, hes quite easy to summon. 2200
ATK is solid, and his effect to control a monster when destroyed in battle
is great, but I doubt most people will attack it head on, instead they'll
use Raigeki or some other form of monster removal. A good card in
Fiend decks, but there are better.
3) The End of Anubis:
Fiend / Effect Monster
As long as this
card remains face-up on the field, all effects of Spell, Trap, and Monster
Cards that designate a card(s) in the Graveyard or that activate in the
Graveyard are negated. ATK 2500/ DEF 0
Yes, its the new End of Anubis secret rare from AST.
This card gave MAJOR boosts to fiend decks uopn its release. 2500 ATK
makes him the new Summoned Skull, along with the single strongest single
tribute monster out there (Except for Fairy King Truesdale with 2700).
This guy is basically Summoned Skull fused with Necrovalley. His
ability to negate Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted, etc is great.
He negates Witch, Sangan, Magician of Faith, etc... the only bad part,
is that he cannot prevent the summoning of the chaos monsters (Pouts).
All-in-all, an awsome card that no fiend deck user should be without.
2) Kuriboh:
Dark/Fiend/1/300/200
Effect: Discard
this card from your hand to the Graveyard to make the damage inflicted to
your Life Points by 1 opponent's monster 0. This effect must be activated
during your opponent's Battle Phase. ATK 300/ DEF
200
Ah yes, this cute little fuzzball, who couldnt forget? Kuriboh,
you eaither love him or hate him. This card has saved my neck
countless times and is practically a nessecity in fiend decks. He
prevents damage from one monster in the battle phase, which can sometimes
save you from losing the entire game. He was a super rare in Metal
raiders, but is now easily obtainable for people that need him (Yugi
Evolution Deck). An Awsome card even if you dont run a fiend
deck. I dont see why some people dont use him in just about every
deck.
And the number one fiend is:
1) Dark Ruler Hades (Was it any supprise?)
Dark/Fiend/6/2450/1600
Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field, negate
the effects of Effect monsters destroyed by Fiend-type monsters on your side
of the field in battle. This card cannot be Special Summoned from the
graveyard.
Ah yes, the Dark Ruler himself. This is a MUST in fiend
decks. Lets look at him, shall we?
Pros:
2450 ATK, whcih outranks just about every other single tribute
monster.
He's a feind, duh.
Negates all effects of Effect Monsters destroyed by himself, and
other fiends on your field.
Once in the Graveyard, hes Necrofear food.
Cons:
1600 DEF means hes unsearchable by Witch.
Cannot be revived from Graveyard.
This is an absolute must for fiend decks, as he is probably the
most versitile monster on the market today.
