Powerful tactics

Hi. My name is Kevin Lin and I've been noticing a few deadly strategies that people haven't really used in the dueling environment.

1) Jowls of Dark Demise + Salvage

This combo works especially well in Water decks. The way it works is that Salvage allows a player to get any 2 water monsters back from their graveyard into their hands with 1500 ATK or less. Jowls is a puny 200 ATK monster, but its flip effect allows the player to take control of one of his opponent's monsters for a turn and also attack directly with the monster. Let your opponent kill off your Jowls, then Salvage them back. Your opponent will be in a bit of trouble because he doesn't know what you'll set; if he attacks, you could just take his strongest monster for a spin and basically do a Waboku.

2) Ojama Trio + Lava Golem + Mask of Restrict + Wave Motion Cannon + Spatial Collapse

Start off this combo by clearing your opponent's field. Set 2 Ojama Trios, the Spatial Collapse, and Mask of Restrict. Let your opponent have his (last) turn, clear his Magic/Trap card zones, kill the monster, then Ojama Trio once. Sacrifice his two tokens for Lava Golem, play Wave Motion Cannon. On his turn, Ojama Trio again and chain with Mask of Restrict and Spatial Collapse. Your opponent is now stuck with 5 monsters on his field, leaving him unable to play any cards, and your Wave Motion Cannon will kill him in 4 short turns (he loses 1000 LP every turn from Golem). Just set a monster to keep the Golem from breathing down your neck and you've won! I realize this combo is difficult to do, but its worth it to see the look on your opponent's face when he realizes he's dead meat and there's nothing he can do to stop you.

3) Mother Grizzly (or Mystic Tomato) + Last Will

Yes, this is a Magical Scientist combo. The point is to play Last Will, suicide your Grizzly or Tomato to get the Catapult Turtle or Magical Scientist, and use Last Will to pull out the other card. Then use the infamous one-turn kill by special summoning fusions with Scientist, tribute with Catapult Turtle. Good game.

I hope these tips were useful to you. Also, I think it would be interesting for someone to build a Riot deck, focused around the Major Riot Trap card from PSV. Anyone with any comments, feel free to email me at kevinlinyu2@hotmail.com or IM me at asoaring cloud.
