Subject: Ansa's Top 10 Card List OK, I'm a newbie, and have recently purchased and assembled two decks using both starter decks and a couple of boosters (one japanese booster.) I have only had a few battles, both with people I had to teach the game to but the following cards I have found most useful. 1. Dark Magician: okay, I know it sounds like cliche to try and follow the show and I assure you it is not. One of my decks assembled includes of spellcasters and fairys amoung others. With this card and the field magic card Yami and the book of secret arts, my magician has become quite powerful and has served me well. 2. Dream Clown: Who wouldn't like this card! It has helped me destroy very powerful cards that might have ended the game in only two moves by simpley turning it to defense! It may only have 1200 attack points, but put it in defense and chose your target! 3. Monster Reborn: Bring back your most powerful (or opponents most powerful) card back to life under your control as a special summon! Nuff said!! 4. Black Hole: Great card! Facing a blue eyes or a labyrinth tank and only have a pitiful little swordsman of allie? simply play this card and clear the playing field. 5. Summoned Skull: Not much to say about this card, simply a very powerful card that can blow away even my favorite card the Magician, and with a certain field card can raise its attack even higher. 6. Ookazi: Simple yet effective card! Opponent loses 800 lp! 7. Curse of Dragon: 2000 attack points very useful and powerful card with only sacrificing one monster. Defeats most monsters, however useless when up against a magician or Gaia. 8. Ryu-Kishin: 1600 attack with out giving a sacrifice and defence is just as usefull. 9. Hane-Hane: It may look like a wimpy card, but set and flip it and return a harmful opponent card back to their hand. When combined with card destruction, you can get rid of a game deciding monster. 10. Dragon Capture Jar: Very easy to see why this is useful, dragons can be very damaging, this card sends them into defence, and with a Yami powered Dark Magician, even a blue eyes white dragon will fall! ...well thats it for me. It is hard for me to find people to play and am trying to find a way to do it online (i.e. instant messaging) so if anyone is interested or has some help, please feel free to email me.
