Subject: More Random Card Stuff- MajinUltima

Well, hey... got another few CotDs done and over with.

First of all Griggle, and at the same time Ameba since they are essentialy a 
2-for-1 deal with their effects.  Currently, the only thing you can do with 
them is shove them on the field face-up (suicidal at best) and then try to 
change the target of your opponents Change of Heart or Snatch Steal onto 
your little bugger.  Too specific and difficult to do right now.  Later on 
with the Yugi Structure Deck and then Mythological Age we will get 2 cards 
where you can willingly give your opponent control of your monsters.  In 
fact, there are decks based around this exact concept: Control Deck.  We 
will not see Control Decks yet as they are of no value to us with our 
current cards.  Later on, Ameba and Griggle will likely become key cards in 
control decks, until then they are pretty useless and should be avoided 
unless being played for fun.  I will reserve a rating for such a time at 
which their TRUE value in decks can be established.
Rating:  N/A


Darkness Approaches, and Darkness go down the hole.  Useless card excpet for 
discarding high-level monsters.  Currently, its best use is to replace 
Cheerful Coffin, cuz now you actually get to do something useful along with 
that discard.  Other than that, it isnt very good and it will be replaced by 
a card in a future set that flips monsters face-down into DEF mode for free.
Rating:  1.4


House of Adhesive Tape... not really all that great, but it will make a 
lovely counter to Earth-type decks and some Pegasus Structure Toon Decks 
that use Gaia Power.  Other than that, its basic use is to keep your 
opponent from getting to use those pesky Flip monsters for a Tribute AFTER 
they get flipped.  Its 2nd most common use is probably nuking Jirai Gumo.  
Then Id give its 3rd best use to taking out Time Wizards.  A Time Wizard can 
really annoy ppl with a LUCKY owner.  Id give this a slightly better rating 
than Eatagaboon because of the ability to nail Jirai and Zombies.
Rating:  2.1 cuz it can do some little stuff.


Here is one card Ive been waiting for a review on, Fairys Hand Mirror.  Fun 
little card to screw around with ppl.  A BEAUTIFUL counter to Tribute to the 
Doomed and possibly some Equip Magics or Soul Exchanges.  It is a beautiful 
day to see someone play TttD and waste a card in their hand to end up nuking 
their OWN creature.  Remember that this card specifies CORRECT TARGET so the 
Magic Card being played must still ADHERE to its TEXT.  With that having 
been said, you can NOT Change of Heart your opponents monsters because their 
CoH only works on YOUR monsters, so the target must still be LEGAL.  With 
that having been said, before ANYONE gets confused about what a targetted 
magic card is: ANY Magic Card that Lord of Ds EFFECT BLOCKS is a targetted 
Magic Card, no more, no less.

That having been said, this card DOES NOT redirect Fissure because your 
lowest ATK monster is STILL your lowest ATK monster, the Magic Card ITSELF 
and NOT the OWNER is what dictates the effect.  Heres the example, if Lord 
of D and Baby Dragon were on the field, and your opponent player Fissure, 
EITHER ONE could die as Fissure chooses the one with lowest ATK.  The 
controller, in the event of a tie and a tie only, would then choose which of 
those 2 dies.  This still DOES NOT make this a targetted effect because the 
effect is not targetted.  In the exception of a tie, yes its controller 
chooses which one dies but the controller does not choose the target.  I 
hope that was understandable... if not, go take an english class.
Rating:  3.3  Fun card that can do stuff and cause chaos.


Well thats about it for this week and I hope I may be able to influence the 
opening of a spot in the CotD staff for myself so I dont have to wait 
through the opions of other ppl before getting my far SUPERIOR ;)  opinions 
heard as Im sure we ALL feel that my views and opinions are more important 
than EVERYONE elses anyways ;)

Thats all and have a nice day and if this doesnt get poster Im gonna raise a 
HUGE fit and have you fired Wartortle... I like the fact that you help me 
correct ppl so you better post my stuff ;)

NOTE by wartortle32: with a threat like that, how can I refuse? ^_^

Disclaimer:  The above 2 parts were in a joking and playful manner and is 
not to be taken all that seriously.

As always, have a nice day and whatever.
