The Jake Taylor Style

PART TWO: Resistance


One of the first objects of war is resistance. Defense of existence is primal. It is natural so naturally defense wins games. Hence, resistance of your opponent's aggression is crucial. Self-preservation and survival are more than points to a game; they are two of the basic ingredients of life. Focus must be directed towards maintaining an absolute state of being. Acceptable losses and gains within life points must be defined when assessing the vehicle of resistance. Defense must follow two lines. The first is called defense action. It is the act of defending. Cards such as spirit reaper, cyber jar, gravity bind and big shield garna follow this cannon. They purely defend or enjoy defensive qualities through effect or synergic properties. Although, they may possess additional desirable abilities, these cards often employ defense as their first service. Secondly, resistance incorporates a reactive vein. Reactive defense relies on a concept of accepting loss as way to preserve the whole while trying to inflect damage to the enemy. Examples of this camp are found in cards such as man-eater bug, d.d. assailant, and phoenix wing wind blast. Understand that reactive defense must involve an acceptable lost. A cost is to be paid albeit card destruction or life point manipulation. As both positions are valid in their application, we require that one line be chosen. It is impossible to manage both techniques not to master them. The Jake Taylor Style requires a definitive choice regarding the manner of resistance.
