Subject: The Blitzkrieg - The Royal King

The 3rd Article/Tip by The Royal King

Well, I missed the last tips, but this time I'm back
with somewhat of a hot topic, with more and more of
these decks popping up every day.  Of course, I'm
talking about WARRIORS!

Blitzkrieg - The German Army's tactics of air and land
rush in WWII.

Blitz - Rushing the Quarterback before he can throw in Football.

So, what do these things tell you?  Warriors are about
hitting fast and hard, like a defensive line.
Therefore, we'll not only go fast here, but we'll see
how we can make Warriors even faster.

First of all, if you want general rules on making a
speedy deck, see my 2nd article: Need for speed.
Anyway, back to Warriors.  These cards speed up the
Warriors:

Reinforcements of the Army: Magic card that adds a
4-star warrior from your deck to your hand.  Very
good.  It takes one card from your deck and adds it to
your hand, plus you are guaranteed a monster.

Freed The Matchless General: Appearing at least once
in most Warrior decks, Freed gets a Reinforcements
effect once per turn.  The downside is that you don't
draw.  But, you ARE getting that one card you might
need, be it a Goblin Attack Force or whatever.

Now, the base of Warriors are their monsters.  These
warriors should appear regardless:

Maurading Captain: Protects all Warriors except
himself, plus you get to Special Summon another 4-star
Warrior (or any 4-star) from your hand.  2 Maurading
Captains create a "Captain Stall" in which your
opponent is unable to attack you at all.

Exiled Force: Tribute to the Doomed in one card.  Very 
effective when comboed with the Captain.

Goblin Attack Force: 2300 atk is nothing to laugh at.
Add in the fact that he's a Warrior, so he's not going
to die if a Captain is on the field, and you've got
yourself a 2300 atk monster every other turn that
doesnt' die immediately!

Gearfried the Iron Knight: 1800 atk monster for no
tribute.  Very cool.  The upside AND downside of this
monster is that he can't be equipped at all.  A  mixed 
blessing.  But, scroll down to the Boost section of this 
article to see a way around this.

Dark Blade: New in Magicain's Force, we get another
Four Star 1800 atk WARRIOR.  That's 9 assault cards
that are warrior types.

OKAY!  Now that we got some Warrior-Staples, let's see
what other type of monsters we can put in Warrior
decks!

Hayabusa Knight.  This guy I see alot.  Very popular
in Equip/Warrior Decks.  The only downside is when you
put everything behind this pegion, only to see him
stolen away from you via Change of Heart, Snatch
Steal, or Creature Swap and then pounded down your
skull.

Dream Clown: Used in the rare Gravity Bind/Warrior
deck.  This utilizes Clowns and Captains to create a 
devastating assault.

Axe Raider/Warrior Del Grepher: Well, now here are two
guys that see play after all.  Can't get those 1800s?
Need more power in your warrior?  1700 isn't THAT bad,
although without some serious Captain
protection...they are SO toast.

Boost!  Boost!  How do we make little warriors BIG
warriors?

Fusion Masume Blade (Or something like that): It's an
800 boost, but it can't be destroyed by a card effect.
  Which means you can equip it to your Gearfried and
get away with it.

Sogen: Not recommended, since this field card is only
a 200 point boost to warriors.  But, if you play Axe
Raider or Warrior DG, then you might need that extra
200.

Finally, the BIG warriors:

Buster Blader: More popular with Magician's Force, but
for a different reason.  Chance's are you're only
going to have 2600 and nothing else.

Legendary Fisherman: Yeah, I know...but he's STILL a
Warrior. Both of these guys are popular when used
with:

WARRIOR RETURNING ALIVE: Hands down one of the most
useful cards in a Warrior Deck.  Just lose your
Goblins?  BAM!  They're back for another 2300
ass-whooping.

Until next time,

Long Live The King!
