Subject: A Rant on Flip Effects - Siphon_X

Hello fellow duelists,
This is my 5th submitted tip.  Most of you know me as Siphon_X, aka the 
warrior king.  I would just like to say how flip effects have become null 
in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh!  Where oh where have the cyber jars gone, oh where 
oh where could they be?  People seem to take out all of their flip effect 
monsters from their deck for fear of cards like Exiled Force, Nobleman of 
Crossout, Jinzo, Sasuke Samurai, and Ceasefire.  They figure those cards 
are pathetic attackers and don't deserve a spot in a deck, but i 
disagree.  By feinting (not fainting) a person is able to trick their 
opponent into believing their facedown monster is a Black Forest Witch or 
Sangan.  They then can unleash the wrath of their cyber, fiber, or 
penguin.  Flip effects remain the cards with the most powerful and potent 
effects, and when used correctly can be lifesaving.  Some combos to use are: 
Dice Jar and BBtD (Barrel Behind the Door):  This combo is life 
threatening.  The only downside to this combo is that you must trigger Dice 
Jar's effect by flip summon or if they play a card like SoRL to allow flip 
effects to be activated.  If either player rolls a 6 (a one out of three 
chance) then its close to game over.
Spring of Rebirth and Penguin Soldier:  Also another combo required to be 
activated not whenever they attack, but you can still get a measly 500 or 
so if they attack.  Chances are they won't activate Imperial Order to SoR 
because it has such a weak effect.  Play SoR then flip a facedown Penguin 
to send Penguin and one of their monsters back to their hand, then set 
penguin again.
Not really a combo, but have an Armed Ninja facedown whenever they activate 
SoRL.
And my personal favorite (and best combo with Card of Safe Return):  Play 
CoSR, have a Spear Cretin in your graveyard, and set a Spear Cretin.  Not 
only is this combo the ultimate draw power (Exodia, my fellow Egyptian 
friends), but it is the IMPENATRABLE WALL!  This combo might not be new, 
but I think that I was the first to try this combo out (2 days after LON 
came out).

In conclusion, all ye who bash the cyber, fiber, spears, and penguins need 
to take a closer look at them, and figure out that not only do they have 
good effects, facedown monsters run shivers through your opponent's spine. 
Don't underestimate the power of the jars/pods!

Don't know my email?  Send all jars, hate mail, love mail, munchies and of 
course, that essential criticism I need for perfection to be accomplished.
