Subject: When to atk scapegoats by J
In my first writing Shonen Jump's, Regionals and
thoughts by J i wrote about yugioh having 35%
skills, and how one can use the oppenents cards
against them like scapegoat.
my opinion:
few examples when not to atk scapegoats
1st) say it is like the middle of the game you have
atleast 4 cards less than your oppenent, you summon
cyber dragon sac cyber for zaborg destroy an
oppenents fd monsters and atk directly but than he
activate goats, he gains 4 tokens. this moment you
think about to atk or not. i wouldnt atk beacuse i
have 4 cards in total less than my oppenent. u can
wait it out until u equal his hand. the oppent some
times might set a mon even though he has for goats,
do not atk that mon until say ur equal or have more
cards than ur oppenent. the oppenent might snatch ur
zaborg and atk u directly, its fine take the hit
unless ur gona lose and then u start setting ur own
mons lets say searchers u start gaining and he cant
summon his key cards.some times the oppenent gets
frustrated and summons and activates torrential
triute so he can start atking.
2nd) say you and your oppenent have about the same
number of cards in total. lets use the same scenrio
i special summon cyber than sac for saborg destroy
tomatoe atk directly than he activates goats, he
gains 4 tokens than u decide whether to atk or not.
ud probably atk because you have about the same
number of cards as your oppenent and once your done
atking all his goats its a plus, but remember just
dont count cards, look at the types of cards you
have at your disposal. ex: i wouldnt atk with zaborg
if my hand looked liked this (mst, smashing ground,
bottomless, creature swap). what wrong with this
picture, the problem is you have no other monsters
to come to your aid when your zaborg is destroyed.
he is the only thing protecting your life points.
wait until u draw atleast 1 to 2 other monsters so
just in case your only mon is destroyed u have other
mons for support. you atk later they activate saku
kill ur zaborg than they start summoning reapers
tomatoes etc and they are atking u directly even
though u can destroy them with ur magic and traps u
have taken damage and u have lost few cards in the
process, they start setting more mons because u have
atked their goats and then they start comboing you
and tsy lock you.
3rd) you and your oppent have about the same number
of cards but the life point count is say for ex me
1000 to an oppents 7000. dont atk atk the goats
until u can make a big play like with heavy return
etc and u have protection for your life.
so when dueling always look for the different
options, think in advance, always look at life,
cards at your disposal, cards in grave yard and etc,
because one bad move can cost you the game.
