Subject: Underused cards and combos - Vlad

hey all,

my name is Vlad and this is my first tip on pojo. anyway on to the tip. Have you ever noticed how in today's metagame a lot of cards are overlooked and shunned because everyone's running three of everything: 3xCyber Dragon,3xDDAssailant,3xSpirit reaper,3x sakuretsu armor and so on and so and so on....Im expecting this to change with the April banlist and actualy, im kinda glad if it does. Itll be interesting to see how players manage without three of everything and what they will b able to come up with. A card that i think could become more useful in bounce decks and others to replace some of this repetiveness is

Compulsory Evacuation Device

[Trap Card]

Return 1 monster on the field to the owner's hand.

I know the effect isnt all that great with a -1 to the owner and a +1 to a person's hand, but once you think about it, it has alot of good uses. First and foremost it can defend your life points from an attack or you can save it for a big tribute or nomi monster(i.e. Mobius,Pheonix,Chaos Sorceror), giving u a plus 1 advantage. another way to use it is on the offensive if your unsure if ur opponent has a face down dd warrior lady or assailant. finaly you can use it to protect your own monster(i.e. compulsinary one of your monsters then dark hole the field then re-summon your monster OR they snatch steal your monster and you send it back to your hand). The best part about it is that its chainable to anything and wont die out like sakuretsu armor or widespread would. One of my favorite combos though, is with this card

Creature Swap

[Spell Card]

Both players select one monster from their respective sides of the field and switch control with each other. The selected monsters cannot change their battle positions for the turn.

I don't know why but this hasn't seen much play lately. Personaly i think its a great tech card even if it generates a -1 advantage. If used right it kan turn the game around plus its got great synergy with CED(compulsory evacuation device, NOT chaos emperor dragon). Think about it, play this , swap cards and then play CED on what you gave ur opponent and bam! They have a clear field and you have a extra monster on your side of the field. Advantage wise this is a -1 again, but you get a free shot at their life points and a monster that you didn't have before. And for the final card of my combos today....

Raigeki Break

[Trap Card]

Discard one card from your hand to the graveyard to destroy one card on the field.

another -1 advantage card that can work great if used corectly. combo this with dark world cards or cards that will help you in the graveyard(i.e. light and dark chaos food, premature wat youve discarded, or level mod a strong level monster such as Horus Lv 8) also if you don't have a card in your hand you can use compulsionary to get one from your field. Puls, its chainable to aynthing giving it advantage over saku, widespread, cylinder, and torrential. And it lets you kill ANYTHING includig spells, traps monsters, ANYTHING. So anyway those are my tips and if i do write in the tip section again ill probably talk about more underused cards that have great potential in the right hands.
