Hey all, I'm here because all the time I see people throw perfectly good cards away because no one else uses them.  These include things like Stealth Bird and Parasite Paracide.  I'll review a few of my favorites in detail.

Ojama Trio *DCR-047*
Trap
Special Summon 3 Ojama Tokens (Beast/Light/Level 2/Atk 0/Def 1000) in Defense position on your opponent's side of the Field.  The tokens cannot be used as tribute for a Tribute Summon.  When an Ojama Token is destroyed, inflict 300 points of damage to the controller's Life Points.

I like this card mainly because it takes up summoning space.  Say they have two monsters that are useless because of Gravity Bind or something.  They attempt to play a third...and can't.  As they take up 3 spaces, it stops most armies in their tracks.  And if your opponent destroys them in any way to free up space, he/she will  take damage.

Stealth Bird *IOC-068*
Effect Monster
Level 3/Dark/ Winged-Beast
700/1700
You can flip this card into face-down Defense Position once per turn during your Main Phase.  When this card is Flip Summoned successfully, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

If placed in the right deck, this little sucker can end the game from the word go.  Take 3 of them and 3000 damage a turn.  It adds up a lot faster than you think it would.  And although the Flip Summon part is a little hard, all it needs is a little protection.  This card might need a deck centered around it, though.

Ordeal of a Traveler *PGD-042*
Continuous Trap
You can activate this card's effect when your opponent attacks.  Your opponent randomly selects 1 card in your hand and calls the type of the card (Monster, Magic, or Trap).  If your opponent calls it wrong, the attacking monster is returned to its owner's hand.

Sure, this is asking to be MST'd or Dusted, but it thrives fine with a little everyday protection (Imperial, anyone?).  It does reveal your hand to your opponent, and is useless when you have no hand, but is very aggravating to your opponent.  If it stays long enough it may impair his/her memory and they may call a card wrong even if they know what it is.

Parasite Paracide *PSV-003*
Effect Monster
Level 2/Earth/Insect
500/300
FLIP: Put this card face-up in your opponent’s deck and shuffle it.  When your opponent draws this card, it is immediately Special Summoned on your opponent’s side of the field face-up in Defense Position and inflicts 1000 points of Direct Damage to your opponent’s Life Points. From this point, all face-up Monster Cards on your opponent’s side of the field are treated as Insect-Type monsters as long as this card remains face-up on the field.

This card is begging for a combo.  It got an early one with Insect Barrier, and now gives a huge boost to Insect Princess.  This card also has burn capabilities, since it does 1000 damage.  The flip part is a little hard, but like all cards it needs protection.  When you think about it, Waboku and Imperial Order can protect most anything.  All you need is a way to buy a turn and then sic this nasty little bug on them for a good chewing out for using it and annoying them.

And now the last card, my personal favorite...

Jowgen the Spiritualist *LON-061*
Effect Monster
Level 3/Light/Spellcaster
200/1300
Randomly discard 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the field. In addition, as long as this card remains face-up on the field, no monsters can be Special Summoned.

OK, so everything in this rant needs protection.  I know Jowgen as the Chaos killer and Necrofear stopper.  He's that useful.  At the very least, side deck one of these guys.  Should you come across a Chaos, Revival, or Necrofear deck, no sweat, just put this in and screw your opponent.  The random discard isn't that bad because how often will there be any more than 3-4 cards in your hand anyway?  I really like this guy, give him a try.

E-mail me at Jowgen the Great@aol.com or IM me at Jowgen the Great.  If you care to disagree, I'll gladly take you on with these cards and show you how annoying they can actually be.  I just want them to be played in some games and not collect dust in shoeboxes.

Until next time,
Jowgen
