 Trading Card Game Tips from fans

Subject: Interesting Spin on Macro Cosmos - Master of Shadows


Hello, Pojoers! Master of Shadows is here with another tip. I'm going to put an interesting spin on Macro Cosmos. Does anyone remember Ectoplasmer? Let's review, shall we?


Ectoplasmer

Continuous Spell

Only once during each player's End Phase, each player Tributes 1 face-up monster on his/her side of the field and inflicts damage to the opponent's Life Points equal to half of the original ATK of the Tributed Monster.


Now for Macro Cosmos.

Macro Cosmos

Continuous Trap

You can Special Summon 1 "Helios - The Primordial Sun" from your hand or Deck. While this card is on the field, any card sent to the Graveyard is removed from play instead.


For the time being, we're ignoring Macro's first effect of summoning Helios.


[If you know of Macro Cosmos' purpose, then skip the lecture.]


The purpose of Macro Cosmos is to get everything removed and then to do one of two things. 1) Use monsters and cards that focus on the number of cards removed. Examples would be Helios - The Primordial Sun, Gren Maju Da Eiza, Golden Homunculus, and Graverobber's Retribution. In these cases, you wouldn't really care about what gets removed, so long as it fuels the fire. 2) Remove the monsters just to use Return from the Different Dimension to bring back the big monsters to swarm for the win. This is the most common use of it outside of using D.D. Survivor and D.D. Scout Plane and their Treeborn Frog-like effects as near infinite Tribute bait for monsters, mainly the Monarchs. Now to get to the meat.

[End of lecture. Begin reading now.]



The purpose of this article is to combine Ectoplasmer with Macro Cosmos and Return from the Different Dimension. Let's review that one now.

Return from the Different Dimension

Normal Trap

Pay half of your Life Points. Special Summon as many of your monsters as possible that have been removed from play on your side of the field. During the End Phase, remove from play all monsters that were Special Summoned by this effect.

Combining these three cards I discussed can yield some powerful results. If you plan on using them as your main strategy, then let me give you some cards to use.


High attack level 4 monsters

By those, I mean monsters like Goblin Attack Force and Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei. Both have 2300 attack. Chainsaw Insect works, too. So do monsters with 2200 attack. If you can't get all of them, then just use 1900 attack monsters. And Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast. He has 2800 attack and can be summoned without Tribute. You'll see what I mean. And Malice Doll of Demise. If you don't have anything removing monsters, then Malice Doll would be 800 points to your opponent each turn as he would keep reviving himself.

Macro Cosmos, Banisher of Light, Banisher of the Radiance, and Dimensional Fissure

All four cards remove everything, except for Dimensional Fissure. It only removes monsters. The Banishers are Macro Cosmos in monster form. We're trying to remove monsters with these and Ectoplasmer. Force your opponent into sacrificing their big strong monsters.

Cards that protect your combo

That's obvious. For Dimensional Fissure and Ectoplasmer, use Magic Reflector. It could work for Snatch Steal if you decide to take their monster, slap them with it, and Tribute it for Ectoplasmer.

Cards that take your opponent's monster

Examples are Snatch Steal, Brain Control, and Soul Exchange. You could use your opponent's monsters as Tributes to further cripple them as well as keep your monster.

I hope this helped anyone trying to run an original deck using Macro Cosmos. I'm in the process of trying to build a deck like the one I just described now. I hope you have fun with it and good luck. Contact me at darkdestructionv30@yahoo.com.

Until next time...
