Subject: Fiendishly Kozaky--by brad


Fiendishly Kozaky

Hey, all. Yeah, comical title, I know, but it works. In this article, I will be discussing the Giant Kozaky deck.

The focus of this deck is to burn your opponent’s life points quickly before they can kill you. The idea revolves around getting Giant Kozaky to your opponent’s side of the field and then destroying it by some means so that it will inflict big damage to you opponent’s life points.


This deck is essentially a fun deck that will work its best in casual play, but if built correctly, could be used in a tournament. It is remarkably original, especially considering all of the Cyber Dragon and DD Assailant abuse out there. It is also very fun to use, especially when the combos work.


Before we get onto the deck list itself, I will discuss a few particular cards. For starters, let’s look at ‘flip face up’ cards. These include Ceasefire, The Spell Absorbing Life, and Book of Taiyou. Even if you have no face down Kozaky, you can set Giant Kozaky, then Box it or Swap it, then flip it. The Spell Absorbing Life and Ceasefire do not activate flip effects, but Giant Kozaky will still activate. However, he must be a face up monster to have his effect activated. Giant Kozaky, in combination with Creature Swap and Ceasefire could be evil. If there is no face-up Kozaky, that will be at least 3000 damage in one swipe.

The extra burn cards are in for support of the Giant Kozaky, since the combo will not always go off. The Wave-Motion Cannons will help with that as well as bait out the spell and trap removal so as to somewhat protect your stall.

The Messengers of Peace will prevent your opponent from destroying such cards as Stealth Bird via battle.


As for the Goblin Attack Force, you may need a higher attack monster occasionally so that you can attack the Giant Kozaky you just gave your opponent. Since Giant Kozaky has 2400 DEF, Goblin Attack Force will minimize the damage you take.

Remember, it doesn’t matter how Giant Kozaky is destroyed, so beware summoning it face up to your field when your opponent may have a Torrential Tribute up their sleeve. Giant Kozaky can be a fun combo card, but use it wisely, or it can backfire.

Lastly, this deck will function much more smoothly if you have some means of speed, thus the Dekoichi.

Here is the deck. Build it, tweak it, test it, and most importantly, have fun!

Like it? Hate it? Think I’m a pompous nOOb for even suggesting the use of such cards? Drop me a line, I’d like to hear some feedback. brad@bradlandusa.com. As always, I do not accept unsolicited hate mail.
