An
Overlooked Deck Type - AJP
Okay then. Well this is
my first report on Pojo, so don't critisise it please,
readers.
I believe that there are several
overlooked types, including plant, sea serpent, insect, etc., but I am here to
talk to you about beast and beast-warrior-typed cards, most importantly,
Beserk Gorilla and Friends.
I haven't yet seen a
Beast-typed deck around at my local tournaments, and I don't currently run one
myself (although I am thinking of doing so). Beast-type decks have amazing
trampling abilities and swarm abilities. I, myself think that trample is an
underestimated power. All this tramplage power that beast-types have gained is
due to one card; the almighty Enraged Battle Ox. No, we are not talking
about Kaiba's puny normal version that he adores (maybe not as much as Obelisk
or Blue Eyes White Dragon). We are talking about the Enraged Battle Ox,
the undisputed best trampler there is (Spear goes to defense, ready to be
trampled, Airnight and Mefeist are tribute, rest are weaker), as it is a 1700
flawless trample monster, that provides trample to all other beast,
beast-warrior and winged-beast-types. Some other very,very notable beast or
beast-warriors are the Beserk Gorilla and Manticore of Darkness. Beserk Gorilla is a 2000 attack
beast type with no real flaws, and Manticore just keeps coming back.
With an Enraged Battle Ox, two Manticores and two Beserk Gorillas on the
field, your opponent would probably be dead in a couple turns, unless they
topdecked raigeki or dark hole. Mystical Knight of Jackal is another quite
notable Beast-Warrior (or Beast), as with Enraged Battle Ox on the field, your
opponent would be in a kind of Jackal-lock.
Cheers, AJP

viruses please.
Also, if someone has a good beast/beast-warrior deck list
they would like to share, they can also e-mail it to
me.
Thanks.
