Wow... Guess I struck a nerve somewhere with my last paper... I've never had so many praises(
13). Well, if you people like me that much, I guess I will have to just keep on writing! Here goes nothing. For all of you who care: Heads up, this is going to be my most controversial deck yet. To Caylin McGregor, this is the article that you have been waiting for. I slap myself for writing this, however, here is my funky deck of the day...HOW TO MAKE GATE GUARDIAN WORK FOR YOU!
To all of you people who now think I'm totally insane (you might be right) and will ignore all of the logic and hard work that I've put into this you can just stop reading this very moment and write me a hate mail - you don't deserve to have this knowledge. To those of you who are amused but wish to see the stupidity continue, read on, I might surprise you.
As you know, Gate Guardian is THE strongest monster there is in the dueling environment now. If you will remember my first article, I said what was perseved as heresy to many:
When on the field and killing stuff do not have any false notions - Blue Eyes White Dragon is MUCH better then Summoned Skull. Well, to this I say this: When on the feild and killing stuff, Gate Guardian is MUCH MUCH MUCHITY MUCH MUCH MUCH better then summoned skull. Now what is the problem?oh.
You have to sacrifice 3 Lvl. 7s to bring it out.
Damn.
These 3 lvl 7s are Sanga of the Thunder, Suigin and Kazegin. On their own, all three of these cards are quite decent. There ability allows them to change the attack power of something attacking them to zero. Intstant 2400 damage, at least. Nice.
But one problem, Mister Straightjacket! Who in their right mind would ever head on attack one of these monsters? it's just stupid.
Of course it is. Of Course, there is a simple solution to this problem as well.
PLAY THE CARD FACE DOWN. Oh, how simple. They won't be able to know what they are attacking but will think that it is a blue eyes and pump up a Dark Elf to kill it. Then you flip it over and boy are they pissed. Simple yet Satisfying.
Well, now you know how to use the peices and the beast. Now to make it work.
To make this deck work, we have to go make a hyper-summoning deck. This deck has combos that allow it to summon big tribute monsters FAST. The old Lord of D. Flute decks were hyper summoners. So is this one. I call it Hyper Guardian. Here are the concepts that make it work:
Stalling
When you don't have monsters on the feild (Which will happen) you must have a way of keeping your skin intact. We now find another use for GRAVITY BIND. Use the gravity bind to Lock things up untill you have a lot of Big Bad Beasties on the feild, then nuke the bind with heavy storm. You can also use SORL, mirror force and wabaku to block attacks. Having Cyber Jar, Wall of Illusion and MEB are good stalls as well.
THE FLUTE
Yes, the flute. But none of the peices are dragons. That, my friends, is where DNA Surgery comes in. Now EVERYTHING IS A DRAGON!!!!!! So now you can use The Lord of D. to summon the peices and (though I'm not sure on this) the big beast itself, and begin to wreak havok. That, my freinds, is the true definition of "holy shit I think I just killed you. hah. hah hah. HAHHAHAHAHAHA..." Also, in a nice added touch, nothing would be able to have equip magics on them due to the Lord of D. effect, so your peices would have just about free reign.
Summoning Magic
In my first article, I gave a slight lecture on this. Well, now for the ultimate application of the concept. You would be running every reliable method of summoning on the planet. First off, EVERY SINGLE REANIMATER SPELL. Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted, Shallow Grave, I forget the name but that equip magic reanimater, and Spear Cretin. This is so you can get back the peices after they have been slain or simply reanimate them to play GG. Also, run Change of Heart, Snatch Steal, and 3 Soul Exhchanges. Not only are they very good with summoning, but they act as monster removal as well. Use Ultimate Offering as well to speed up things.
A NOTE- The main killer in this deck is usually not going to be GG, but the peices. I really think they are better cards anyway. But you really can't have one without the other, you know?
Thats it, i'm done! this is only a rough skeleton of the deck. I'm just trying it out now casually with my tournament buddies now, it's doing fairly well, but loses about a third of the time. I'll write a tourney report on this as soon as we stage another one. Now, the moment all you haters have been waiting for: my e-mail address: Send all your hate to me at walsharch@msn.com. Mind you, I ALWAYS RETURN E-MAILS WHETHER THEY ARE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. And to my fans - I will try to be a bit less insane next time. That's it, its Nick, signing off.
Peace my MAN!
