I know your wondering whats this is about. Well its about how Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning can make you or break you. I will explain llittle later what this means, but before I do that I will explain its stats.

Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning-Lizz
8 stars
3000 ATK/2500 DEF
Warrior/Effect
This card can only be special summoned by removing 1 Light and 1 Dark monster in your Graveyard from play. Once during each of yoru turns, you can select and activate 1 of the following effects.
*Remove 1 monster on the field from play. If you activate this effect, this card cannot attack during this turn.
*If this card destroyed your opponents as a result of battle, it can attack once again in a row.

Obviously this stats are enough to scare anyone or are they. Firstly lets look at its level of stars, 8, thats not too bad because now we can actually morph this thing into Gattling dragon and other level 8 fusions later in the future. Its attack is pefect. Its defense is good because you can SSummon him in defense and remove a monster and attack with one of your other monsters and don't have to worry about your opp. activating mirror force. Its a warrior so it has a lot of support cards such as Warrior Returning Alive, Don Zaloog, and the DD family. Finally lets look at its amazing effects. Its first effect is where players have trouble facing against him. His first effect breaks your opp. plan, sets up your plan, and most importantly gives you HUGE field advantage. We all know how important field advantage is now a days. Finally its last effects can also provide field advantage (since you can get rid of 2 monsters with 1 monster) as well, also players use the second effect to usually end the game.

Now I will talk about how players use BLS-EotB and how it affects the game whether its a bad outcome or a good outcome. I have seen a lot of players play BLS-EotB near the middle and late game and say "thats game" well that phrase holds more true to CED-Envoy of the End. In my opinion its not smart to play BLS-EotB near the middle of the game because if your opp. is holding 3,4, or 5 or more cards, they clearly have an answer to it no matter how much they are pretending to look scared. I have seen players intentially play all but 1 card just for you to play your BLS-EotB so then he/she could Snatch Steal/Mind Control/TIV/Exiled Force, and many more Anti-monster cards just to get rid of your best monster in your deck. Now I have seen players also play this card near the end of the game (when I say the end of the game, I don't mean when both players have 1 or 2 cards left in their hand and 2 or 3 cards on each side of their field) what I mean by that is that playing BLS-EotB with your opp. having very few resources to get rid of BLS-EotB is truly when the game is over. Finally I would like to say that BLS-EotB can be played for field advantage, card advantage, or just for a quick kill, its up to you to decide how to play him. Personally I play BLS-EotB when I know that I could get rid of their most valuable monster or when I want to end the game. Also if you lose BLS-EotB by your opp. BLS-EotB don't panic just relax and you will get rid of theirs sooner or later.
