Subject: Gilford the Lightning Finisher - Dustin H.

Hello again to all those reading. Those of you who've read my past tips should know that this is going to be another good one.

All right, this combo needs three different cards:


Heavy Storm - The one you're allowed

Statue of the Wicked - Three

Gilford the Lightning - One's all you need


Your opponent got a field of monsters, spells, and traps and you know they'll finish you off next turn unless you do something about it? Here's the combo for you!


First, set your three Statue of the Wicked Cards (Statue) and play Heavy Storm (Storm). Storm will clear the field of all spell and trap cards, including, of course, your Statues. Then, the Statues' effect will activate, bringing three Wicked Tokens to the field. Sacrifice your Tokens to summon Gilford the Lightning, whose effect will activate, destroying all monsters on the opponent's side of the field.

This combo can pretty much only backfire if Storm is stopped. After all, there are few monster effects in the game that can stop Gilford's effect. In fact, I don't think there are any.

It's best used late-game when the opponent doesn't have much of anything left to stop (or survive) Gilford's attack. Generally, this is meant to be a finisher.

Now some may ask, "How much space is it going to waste in my deck?" Well, let me answer that. Storm is a card that many people use. Putting this in can't really hurt the deck. Statue is, I believe, an underplayed card. Throwing this in as bait for spell/trap destruction isn't a bad idea. In threes though...it might be a little more space than one should use. Gilford is the only card that, by itself, is not spectacular. But then again, how's one card going to completely mess up your deck?

In summary, this combo could be pretty good if used right. Heck, I thought I'd just send this in to give people another useful combo. But, after thinking about it, I think I might even have to try it! Now, I just need two more Statue of the Wicked cards...
