Subject: An Underrated Card - Conspire007

Hey Pojoers,

It's the infamous Conspire007 here!  This is my first tip, but i am an 
active forum participant and i write tourny reports whenever i have the time.

Today i want to take about one of the most underrated cards in the game. Ultimate Offering (UO).  I have started trends in 2 gaming stores with this 
card.  I hope that you pojoers will listen to my advice and consider it in 
your deck.

Ultimate Offering reads:  "at the cost of 500 life points per monster, a 
player is allowed an extra normal summon or set."  This, however, can be 
very confusing.  So we go to the UD official ruling to find out exactly 
what it does.  When i first read the ruling, it made my mouth drop and i 
put an ultimate offering in my deck right away.  The ruling says that the 
effect of the card only works for the owner of the card.  It also says that 
you may continue to summon monsters without any limit until all monster 
card zones are full as long as you continue to pay 500 lifepoints for each 
extra monster you summon.  Also, it is important to know that your one 
regular summon/set per turn does NOT cost 500 LP.

That said, you must certainly know the combo potential this card has.  This 
card can do many things.

(1) This card can set up your final blow.  Laying down 4 monsters in one 
turn is devestating if your opponent doesnt have the proper defense.  Our 
only concern here is mirror force.  For this, we can either keep a 7 tools 
handy or use (2) to get out Jinzo.

(2)  This card can help you get out your jinzo, summoned skull, tyrant 
dragon, or any other 5 and + star monster.  You simply use your free summon 
to summon a monster, then you pay 500 LP to sacrifice it and tribute summon 
the next monster.  For 7 and 8 starred monsters, you use the free summon to 
summon your first monster, pay 500 LP for another monster, and then pay 
another 500 LP in order to sacrifice both monsters and tribute summon.  A 
common argument to this is that UO says only "normal summons" may be done. But the rulebook also states that a tribute summon IS a normal summon, and 
therefore this is allowed.

(3) This card can help you accomplish your theme VERY quickly.  For 
example, if you run a yata deck then you could potentially get out 2 white 
magical hats for an attack each, and thats two cards gone from your 
opponents hand.
Also, for CC decks, you could potentially get out 2-3 dream/crass clowns 
and control the board a lot faster.

(4) This card can help you make a comeback.  See below for a GREAT comeback 
strategy.

I think my favourite combo with this card is the following:

Cards required: 3

Nimble Momonga (one in hand, 2 in deck)
Ultimate offering
Tyrant Dragon.

if Ultimate offering is set already, you can do this ine ONE turn.  Summon 
nimble and suicide to get the effect.  Activate Ultimate offering to 
sacrifice your two nimbles and 500 LP to summon tyrant dragon.

Thanks for reading my Tip on Ultimate Offering.
