ben L's top ten overrated cards.

 

I have already done top ten traps, spells, and monsters, so now i am going to do minor stuff.  Today it is top ten overrated cards.  These cards are in no particular order, but are just ten cards i think are most overrated.

Dark magician of chaos-  In no way is this card the third chaos monster.  The fact is, it is still a two tribute monster that more often than not is a dead card in your hand.  You want a good two tribute monster, use guardian angel joan.  Her effect is better than this card, and it is aldo a light, so it is good chaos

mirror force- Because of Jinzo and the big six, we try to keep our traps to a limit, around 5-7 per deck.  Also because of the big six, chainability is superior to clearing the field.  IMO, mirror force does not deserve a spot in the five 5-7 traps in our deck. Right now, all traps should be chainable outside of the battle phase.

don zaloog- the only time this card should be used is if three reapers is not enough hand destruction.  So what if it has a robbin goblin effect, next turn your opponent will suicide there tomato or angel into it, bringing out a D.D. or a direct attack from reaper.

gemini, mad dog, archfiend soldier, etc.- not that good.  Brute force had its time of popularity, but now control and chaos overpowers beatdown.  Some people have tons of these in there deck, but at most they should just have three of these in a hand control deck, but berserk gorilla is bette for that.

united we stand/mage power-People will soon realize that all equips except snatch steal and premature burial encurage bad hand managment.  Sometimes people forget that everybody uses 3 msts, harpies, heavy, and breaker, so equips will not stay long on the field.  Also, when someone uses tribe on a monster with something equiped to it, tribe kills two cards instead of one.  So basically, with all the field clearing, equips.

cyder jar- yes, there are certain decks(like chaos) that this card is good for.  However, some people just through this card into any certain deck, which is dumb.  It  might clear the field, but filling your opponent's hand up with cards should not appeal to decks that already have enough speed.

torrential tribute-also, another card with a great effect that is not chainable.  Some people are shocked that this card is not restricted, well i can explain why.  The reason i took this card out of my deck was because it had been set for many turns only to get msted.  With waboku, you can chain to mst, an ability all the traps in your deck should have.  If you wonder what traps i use, email me.

vampire lord-yes, it has a great effect, but 2000 attack?  There are many monsters that can kill it by battle or remove it from play, like D.D., and BLS.  The only thing i like doing with this card is getting rid of all the traps in there deck, then calling trap again, and getting to look through their deck to verify they are out of traps.  That is another legal loophole exminion was talking about.

spear dragon- some consider it a 1900 and it would fall into the 1900's section.  It is a 1900 who rides the short bus.  The card does not deserve an ounce of play with all of the other 1900s.  Switching to defense is a lot more of a negative than fairy meteor crush is a posotive. 

I know i will be recieving hatemail for this list, so send away at  whiterap505@aol.com .  If you agree with me also send, it would be nice to know that i am not the only one who thinks euqips are horrible.
