Inzektor Giga-Mantis continues the week, and how
often do we look at tribute Monsters anymore?
This is a Level 6, Dark attributed, Insect Monster,
with 2400 attack (which is about the one tribute
norm) but a deplorable 0 defense. Now while we
tend to shy away from tribute Monsters these days,
fortunately Giga-Mantis likes to equip himself to
other cards as well, as seems to be the theme here
this week. You can target a face-up Inzektor
you control and equip this card to it from your
Hand, and then that Monster's original attack
becomes 2400. So much for the attack increase
we saw earlier in the week, hmm? Now, if
equipped to a card, and sent to the Graveyard, you
can Special Summon an Inzektor from your Graveyard,
again excluding Giga-Mantis. A bit more
powerful overall than yesterday's card, but no Level
increase...although an increase of 6 would be a lot.

The next Inzektor we will be reviewing is
Inzektor Giga-Mantis. You might say that Giga-Mantis
is the boss monster of the Inzektors with 2400
attack and the ability to make other Inzektors 2400.
That may not be a huge attack, but when you combine
it with other cards like Solidarity or get attack
boosts from other Inzektor monsters you can have
between 2900 and 3200 attack or more.
Sense Inzektor monsters are dark, so Giga-Mantis
allows you to run Deck Devastation Virus. There is
also a card called Variable Form that can help in
attaching and unattaching your Inzektor monsters.
Inzektor Giga-Mantis is not a crucial as the other
Inzektor monsters but when you want the beef, you
call in this bugger.

Summon that target. This effect of "Inzektor
Giga-Mantis" can only be used once per turn."
One of the strongest Inzektors for today. G-M
makes for a rather hefty bit of muscle in the deck
and replaces himself with a different Inzektor.
Definately worth running, but as an Ultra Rare, he's
hard to come by. I'd recommend running one or two if
him in an Inzektor deck, but he's just another Lv. 6
2400A monster in any other deck.
