Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien Card Review

(17/06/2012) NOTE: This card review was before we found out it only boosted to 2000 attack. This review is discussing it when it made the monster 3000 attack. I am aware that it drastically affects the playability of the card but I am not going to re-review it since a lot of what I have said below is still relevant.


Good day to you my well informed and innovative readers. The battle pack scurry has died down a bit now (In the UK anyway. You guys get your boxes tomorrow). Now it's time to move on to the next interesting products that Konami is throwing in our direction (more specifically: our wallets) which is the next structure deck.

The Structure Deck: Samurai Warlords is an attempt to rekindle the power of the six samurai. It's designed to cater to the TCG competitive scene so it will have great reprints of playable cards, rather than crappy techs like Kunai with chain or Marauding Captain (I don't hate the card, but they keep throwing him in decks and it's got to stop). Some of the cards of the archetype were difficult to get hold of (like Kizan. The card is still like $10 which is ridiculous).

Anyway, to give them a new edge, they added a new boss monster to their arsenal called...
Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien With 2500 attack, it rivals power with Legendary Six Samurai - Shi en, so there's no need to worry about which card is stronger. In case you did not know, this card is the exalted form of Kagemusha of the Six Samurai (They both have the same hair), which might account for it's 400 defence. It needs 2 level 4 Six Samurais to summon it, which is pretty easy. Lets take a look at it's effect:

Once per turn, During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control with less than 3000 ATK; its original ATK becomes 3000 until the End Phase.

So yeah, you can detach one of it's materials, and one of your Six Samurais goes up to 3000. With that, you can run over your opponent's bigger monsters or if you control another Six Samurai, you can pump that and attack for up to 5500 damage right there, which is pretty nice.

But it's also usable on your opponent's turn. If they attack you, you can pump your monster and win the battle, therefore making your monsters invulnerable to battle unless you're going up against an Obelisk or something.

You can also consider the fact that Enishi and Kizan both gain extra attack while there are 2 other Samurais on the field with them, making them 3500 and 3300 attack under this effect, respectively. It even makes Kageki a 4500 powerhouse!

However, while this card increases the OTK potential of the deck, the deck's aggression was justified by having a good level of control through Shi en's negation effect and Musakani Magatama. This card is great when your opponent's backrow is empty but when it's not, it's got no real way to keep itself alive when your opponent uses Dark hole or Torrential Tribute. And when your opponent Fiendish Chains it, it's a sitting duck which is a -1 until you run something over.

The card is really something that the deck needed. Like Dino Rabbits, the deck needed outside help to get over the bigger monsters (Forbidden Lance mostly) but with this, you don't need to waste deck space for that, allowing for more versatility.

One more interesting point. The card can be summoned with Gateway of the Six by removing 6 counters. That's another way to potentially OTK for no cost whatsoever. Seriously Konami?

Anyway that's pretty much it for the card. The card is powerful, makes other cards powerful and is an extra 2 counters onto Gateway. What's not to love?

Future Visions: The Atlantean Archetype

Hello once again readers. In the midst of my busy schedule I decided to do the forth segment of our world famous Future Visions. Instead of looking at the booster sets of the future, I decided to delve into what might possibly be, our next tier 1 deck. As a fan of the TCG, it's in my best interest to constantly keep up to date with new cards, regardless of where they come from (Booster set, structure decks, starter decks etc). From the latest structure deck in the OCG comes the new Atlantean archetype.

Incase you did not know, just like Geargia, they already have 1 monster in the TCG already, Atlantean Pikeman. Unfortunately it's a vanilla beater which doesn't really do much for any deck so it's not really worth worrying about.

Now lets take a look at the monsters we know of so far.

Atlantean Marksman When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Sea Serpent-Type "Atlantean" monster, except "Atlantean Marksman", from your Deck. When this card is sent to the Graveyard for the activation of a WATER monster's effect: Target 1 Set card your opponent controls; destroy that target.

To start off, this card allows you to special summon an Atlantean monster when it deals battle damage, which is nice for a quick rank 3 xyz. However, it's second effect means you can summon a Leviathan dragon and detach this card for it's effect. This means it's second effect kicks in and you can destroy one of your opponent's set cards. Even easier yet, you can send it to the graveyard for Genex Undine's effect, which triggers it's effect too! The possibilities for some amazing advantage are available to you if you know where to look.

Atlantean Armed Soldier While this card is face-up on the field, once per turn during your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon a Level 4 or lower Sea Serpent-Type monster in addition to your Normal Summon or Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) When this card is sent to the Graveyard for the activation of a WATER monster's effect: Target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; destroy that target.

This card also allows for a quick rank 2 with another armed soldier. Once again, Leviathan dragon and Undine shenanigans apply, but this time, you can hit a face-up card, which is much more helpful.

Atlantean Assaultman If you control another face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua-Type monster, this card gains 800 ATK.

A simple yet powerful effect. It's not actually debuting in the structure deck, but Return of the Duelist. With Deep Sea Diva it can be summoned straight from the deck and is now at a wonderful 2200 attack, allowing it to get over Thunder king and other big beaters. On it's own, it's not too good, so maybe run only 1 to reduce the chances of drawing it when you don't have a Diva or a Armed soldier to use it with.

Now for the one spell card in the structure deck with "Atlantean" in it's name, so It's worth a look.

Atlantean Roar Target up to 3 Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent-Type monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon those targets. You cannot Special Summon other monsters the turn you activate this effect.

So this card allows you to summon 3 monsters. That's pretty stupid. Even better yet, it's a quick play meaning you can just chain it to your opponent's MST, meaning you get 3 monsters for essentially no cost. You can summon Lost Blue Breaker with this card then tribute it to destroy a backrow on your opponent's field. If you summon 3 Assaultman and you can attack directly, then you can deal 6600 damage. If you summon 1 Assaultman and 2 Marksman, then you can deal 5000 damage from them alone. Then you summon 2 more Sea serpents (Provided you activated Atlantean Roar the turn before) and finish the job!

But sometimes, little Fish things with weapons won't cut it. The archetype needs a boss, and the Structure deck has quite a one at that! You can Tribute 3 Level 3 or lower WATER monsters you control; Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. When this card is Special Summoned by this effect: Return all Spell/Trap Cards on the field to the hand, and if 3 or more cards are returned by this effect, face-up monsters your opponent currently controls lose 300 ATK for each card returned.

So using Atlantean Roar, you get the 3 Water monsters needed to summon this beast. When it hits the field, you can Giant Trunade all spells and traps and then you Masked Hero Acid their monster's attack. With it's 2800 attack, it will most likely be the strongest monster on the field after you use it's effect. However with that being said, There's much reason to run more than 1 since the little guys can be quite powerful on their own and 3 level 3s are hard to get onto the field (outside of the spell card). Think of it as a secondary win condition, with your xyz monsters being the main beaters in your deck. I think Konami knew this though, since their secondary effects cannot be activated in the structure deck. We will have to wait and see what the second card on the structure deck list is.

Lightray Gearfried in Lightsworns + Decklist

With the Lightrays now released, whether or not each one has it's own use is being debated as we speak. Some of them can be thrown in decks and some of them requires a deck around it. With Lightray Gearfried though, it seems to be it's own boss monster in anything with a decent amount of light monsters. Ok. So it's got a fantastic 2800 attack, just like it's original counterpart. It's also got a respectable summoning condition that can be fulfilled in light decks. Agents can fill their graveyard quite quickly using Venus and Shine Balls.

But realistically, when using a big beater, you want to able to utilise ALL of it's effects, which an agent deck won't be able to do.

The great thing about this card is it's ability to negate a spell/trap each turn. It's what makes Shi en so darn good. You can just keep it on the field and negate things every turn, therefore depleting your opponent's resources while you're smacking them for 2500 each turn. But this card is different. In exchange for 300 extra attack (Which can help get over quite a few big monsters like Grapha), you must remove a Warrior-type to be able to negate something.

So in Lightsworns, you can mill your Jain(s), Ehren(s) and Garoth(s) to provide fodder for it's effect. But while Gearfried does require 5 different lights with different names, it's not tied to specifically lightsworns like Judgment dragon is, which might be the push to bring it back into the competitive scene. I'd prefer a 2800 negater over a 3000 nuke machine. That might be the other way around for you though.

Instead of talking about it's possibility of being good in a light deck, I decided to make a quick decklist showing if the card is viable in a lightsworn deck. 
I also threw in a Lightray Diabolos to add to the backrow hate. I thought 3 gearfried might be a little too cloggy if you draw too many of them at once. Of course this is a first draft and there is room for improvement, so suggest fixes!

Cardcar D is actually quite bad

Yes it is. The reasons why I feel it is so bad are pretty valid and I hope you agree.

1. The TCG has tour guide while the OCG does not. This is one of the big factors that will explain why Cardcar is not played here but is played in threes in the OCG. The fact is, everyone likes generic draw power and Cardcar gives exactly that. But being able to make beaters and searching are also great to have, which tour guide offers both. if I want draw power in inzektors then I'll run duality and allure and tour guide if I have them.

2. Veiler is at 2 or 3 in most decks. This reason applies to both games but Cardcar was being hyped immensely before the priority ruling changed. When it did come around, people still thought it was just as good. You cannot compare it to Rescue rabbit due to it baiting out veilers much more than Cardcar. If you know that you can OTK your opponent next turn, then veilering their Cardcar is pretty much irrelevant. This brings me nicely to my third point.

3. The format is too fast. The amount of restrictions placed on the card that you are forced to give up a summon which almost means a whole turn. Unless you draw some good traps in your opening hand, you are essentially saying "I'll let you go first in exchange that I can have an extra card". Thats a pretty good trade off to be honest, it allows me to go into laggia and set 3 backrows. When I have that on the field your 6/7 card hand is pretty much going to get depleted to almost nothing to try and dismantle my field. In time there will be a format for this card, but this format is not the one.

4. It's a secret. It forces the casual/competitive player such as myself to commit a large sum of money for a playset of something that might just end up being a big flop. I know that tour guides would be a good investment since it has single handedly defined the format by itself. It's price tag reflects that but as of right now Cardcar D is still at its hyped price. the rarity also explains why the OCG can experiment with 3 in their decks without that financial worry.

There are other reasons why I don't approve of this card and I'm sure some of you out there like it. If you feel that my reasoning is not justified then please comment below. I'd love to hear your opinion on it (no sarcasm intended).

Until next time, TheTCGLover Out!

Miracle Spacians!

Hello readers. If you're keeping up with my Youtube Channel, I discussed the wonderful card known as Miracle Contact. Shuffle into the Deck, from your hand, side of the field, or Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on an "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monster Card that also lists "Elemental HERO Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions.

This card is incredibly versatile and is begging for a deck built with it. It works in a similar way to how Miracle Fusion adds multiple high attackers into a control deck, allowing for explosive plays when needed. As I discussed on the video, It can be used to summon many of the Elemental Hero fusions that have a Neo-Spacian as one of it's materials. Currently, there are 10 of those fusion monsters. Of course with this card, the better of the 10 can be accessed easier than they used to be and they generally require 2 Neo-Spacians and Neos.

Of course, without a competitive build the deck will be boring and lose a lot. So it's best to concentrate on 5 of the 6 Neo Spacians: Glow moss, Dark Panther, Grand Mole, Flare Scarab and Air Hummingbird. Aqua Dolphin is probably the worst Neo-Spacian alongside Glow Moss, but in my mind it's not got as much going for it.

So in addition to the Neos cards already mentioned, we will need some draw power. Fortunately, we have a great little card called Convert Contact. With this card, you can dump any Neo-Spacian from your hand and one from your deck to draw two cards. There are three amazing things that this gives us:
1. Draw power, which equals consistency when using the deck multiple times.
2. It puts 2 fusion materials in the graveyard
3. It allows us to run Black Luster Soldier!

While BLS removes the cards from your graveyard, what you get in return is a 3000 double attacking beater. That's just too good not to pass up. So with 2 fusion materials in your graveyard, you can now return them to your deck with a Elemental hero Neos in your hand to summon an appropriate fusion monster with Miracle Contact. Incase you care about card advantage, you only use up to 2 cards and you make 1 card that lasts for a turn. If you want to use Neo space or Instant Neo space then be my guest, but I don't recommend it.

Now here is my first attempt at a decklist. It might be revised in the future so keep an eye on the date it was last changed.

Monsters (17) -
1x Neo-Spacian Glow Moss

1x Elemental HERO Stratos
3x Effect Veiler
1x Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
1x Elemental HERO Prisma
1x Gorz the Emmisary of Darkness

Spells (15) -
1x Monster Reborn
1x Dark Hole
1x Heavy Storm
2x Mystical Space Typhoon
3x Miracle Contact
3x Convert Contact
1x Pot of Avarice
2x E-Emergency Call
1x Book of Moon

Traps (8) -
