Subject: Is Sacrificing monsters to summon Lvl 5-8 monsters still used? - nataku27 Sup again everyone. The game has been doin great and with legacy of darkness out, new strategies and tactics are increasing. But now lets talk about the one of the rules that was most popular when we very fisrt started "tribute or sacrificing." As you kno, it was common when we were just rookies and now some ppl still play them but are they still useful in the current game? Since some monsters like a hayabusa knight pumped up with 2 axes of despairs can defeat a summoned skull or a jinzo or a maha vailo also with 2 axes can defeat a blue eyes. Sure if it wasnt for high level monsters like blue eyes or summoned skull tehy wouldnt have made this game great or fun. But now i havent seen that many ppl use that many lvl 7-8 or even lvl 5-6 tribute monsters. The only tribute i see is Jinzo. Reason is that hes consider the most useful monster for his ability to negate traps and as you kno traps were useful in the beginning. Some of my firends dont use that many tributes and just use special summoned monsters like the Rock Spirit, Aqua Spirit or Dark Necrofear. The current metagame is mostly beating the crap out of your opponent with high attacking monsters(or just bust out a whole bunco of monsters on the field, summon hayabusa, equip with United We Stand & Mage Power and overkill your opponent). I kno some of you will complain but it true, not many ppl will sac 1 or 2 monsters(unless needed to) since with graceful charity or any other magic card that discard cards, they can discard that jinzo or barrel dragon and then use monster reborn, call of the haunted or premature burial to bring them back. And it is common in my tourneys. So all and all tributing monsters for bringing out stronger monsters is still being used but nowadays not everyone will do it. If you feel like u need to say somethin, if its a good or a bad comment(non-threatening) then go right ahead. nataku27 aznpsyduck69@yahoo.com AIM-aznpsyduck69(not on much) ____________________________
