Subject: The Death of The Immortal of Thunder

The Immortal of Thunder Group: Thunder/Effect Type: LIGHT Level:4 Atk: 1500 
Def: 1300 FLIP: You gain 3000 Life Points. When this card is sent from the 
field to the Graveyard, you lose 5000 Life Points. Many of you see this and 
shutter, thinking this horrible card is going to make you lose 2000 LP. But 
in reality, it's only a bad card when used incorrectly. With the release of 
recent decks, I personally find The Immortal of Thunder to be a free ride 
to gaining 3000 LP. The trick is, DON'T send it to the graveyard! Bypass 
the graveyard! A card like Banisher of the Light comes in very handy here. 
Just play the card in face down defence with banisher on the field. Adding 
Chorus of Sanctuary is also helpful since the defence of Banisher increases 
to 2500, something that your opponent probably can't atk and destroy. The 
defence of The Immortal of Thunder will also increase to 1800 and will be 
enough to prevent any and all 1800 monster ATKs(preventing most beatdowns 
from hurting you). Then again, at the cost of 2 monster cards from your 
hand you can play the even more dreaded Darkness Approaches. With Darkness 
Approaches, you can now use it's effect once again. Even if for some reason 
you play the card wrong and have to send it to the graveyard, your still 
gaining 1000 LP. In the last 2 and a half weeks that i've been playing this 
combo, not once has it failed me. If you find any flaws in my theory, don't 
bother me with it. This deck requires time and skill to construct. It took 
me a while to be able to use Banisher in the proper way. There are alot 
more combos to this card, but I don't like revealing all my stratagies. If 
you think of anything else feel free to mail me at MrWillis177@cs.com
