So, you wanna clear the field in a unique way using
a usually, tentatively useless card? Want to use
some other underrated cards? Here we go.
Gilford the lightning. If you tribute 3 cards to
summon him he raigekis your opponents. Because of
this effect his attack is only 2800... but on a
clear field its 2800 DDamage assuming traps aren't
in the equation (heavy storm?)
Along those same lines there's moisture creature,
who is the same as gilford in eery way except he has
a harpies feather duster effect instead of raigeki.
Next up. magnets, everyones favorite little
warriors.
Not really, but they are nifty because of the biggy
valkyrion. If you discard alpha, beta, and gamma
from your hand or field he can be special summoned.
also he can be tributed to summon those 3 from the
graveyard to the field. I also believe, by the rules
set out from my local judge (and the fact the card
specific rulings at upperdeck didn't mention it)
valkyrions tributing effect CAN be prioritized if it
gets bottomlessed or torrentialed, etc because it
would be sent to the graveyard anyway by its own
effect.
Theis here, tribute the three warriors from your
hand to get valky out, then tribute him to get them
on the field. Since that was all special summoning
you can summon moisture or gilford at your leaisure.
You cna backup soldier alpha and gamma from the
graveyard for future use, and soul ressurection also
works on them (a trap that summons one normal
monster from your graveyard into defense position,
otherwise its a call of the haunted) so you have
options. Wouldn't it be great to summon moisture
valky, then tribute, then summon moisture, then
backup and soul ressurection, get another valky out
to set up for a gilford next turn? not to mention
valky itself is a 3500 attacker, if the field is
already clear he's pretty godly. and there's lots of
options for these guys. add in a pot of avarice to
get valky out of the graveyard (his effect will not
allow him to be reborn in any manner, he can ONLY be
summoned by the magnet warriors)
Another nifty fact. if you can no longer summon
valkyrion but have one in the hand, he is an 8 star,
meaning he can be used singularly as tribute to get
out demise, king of armageddon, who at the cost of
2000 LP clears the field and is a 2400 attacker.
Which also follows the clearing stuff.
see, old promos do have some new tricks ;)
Oh, and for the science geeks woh may be reading,
something to consider.
Magnets *can* create electrical charges, so by
tributing magnets for gilford you are simply
charging up his blade for him.
Also, if i rmemebr my chem right, if you run a
current through water it seperates the water
molecules, creating oxygen and hydrogen, that in an
enclosed space reconstitute and create water vapor,
or moisture....
Yeah, valky was made for those 2 right there. Its
scientifically proven.
