Synergy is Important for a Good
Deck-Dreading Night
Alright everyone, this is my first tip to Pojo.
And something has been bugging me for a long time.
Some of the deck's I've seen posted on Pojo and
other places...some people just aren't thinking.
People now adays don't let there decks synergize. If
people don't know what synergy is, its how well your
cards go together. You need to let your deck
synergize together. Some cards need to go together
to get it going.
The best example is Last Will.
You can't just throw this card into a deck and
expect it to work. You need to put cards in your
deck to let it work. You need to use cards like
Treeborn Frog, Enemy Controller, and other tribute
methods. This is why Last Will became so good, its
because people knew how to create synergy and
advantage with just one card. But this one card
needs other cards to become great.
Another good example of synergy are tribute
monsters, especially two tribute monsters. Some
monsters are good to tribute for, the monarchs are
the best example. Because even if they fail you get
your advantage out of it. But what happens when
using a two tribute monster. Dark Magician and Blue
Eyes White Dragon are the classic two tribute
monsters. These guys are okay because they have the
support to get them out and make them just as
deadly.
But you once again can't just throw them into a deck
and expect them to work just because your favorite
character uses them, or you see another person use
it well. You need ways to get it out without wasting
resources.
So in Dark Magician's case you have a great spell
card called Tribute Doll.
Tribute Doll pretty much acts like the second
tribute for any 7 star monster, Dark Magician being
the prime example. But as for Blue Eyes how do you
get the dragon out? It is a bit more complicated but
it will be deadly.
The Paladin of White Dragon is a ritual monster, 4
stars, 1900 attack with 1200 defense. It can destroy
any face down monster without flipping it.
Right there is a powerful effect for a Blue Eyes
deck. Then you also have it's ability to summon the
dragon. You can offer it during your Main Phases to
summon the Dragon from your hand or deck (not sure
about the graveyard).
It is great synergy right there. The Paladin clears
the powerful effect monsters out of the way and when
your ready you can offer it to bring the Dragon out.
This is just a small example of synergy right here
and there is also plenty more. I hope this helped
some of you and good luck to all of you. Especially
since we have the new ban list coming out.
