Old + New card combo deck idea - Kabuto-kun In response to a previous tip by vic apprentice, I too find that many people are forgetting the older cards. A little background on me - I started playing when the first starter decks came out and ran 3 Neo the magic swordsmen, 3 La Jinns, Dragon capture jars (because the only other decks you were facing were dragon decks or beatdowns), etc. so there are still people like me and Vic around. I still visit pojo every day and have read every single card of the day review. This tip might have appeared in one of the COTD's, though I can't remember it specifically. Anyway, there are many cards that were once deemed useless, but could possibly have entire decks built around them now. A prime example of a card once deemed useless.. The Immortal of Thunder: 1500/1200 Flip: You gain 3000 life points. After this card is flipped, when this is sent to the graveyard, you lose 5000 life points. Use this card and you lose 2000 LP, right? Wrong. Can anybody think of a card that could utilize the loss of 5000 LP? It's not a payment of 5000 LP.. It's not battle damage.. Hm... Can you say Barrel Behind the Door? Barrel Behind the Door: Counter Trap Effect: When an effect that inflicts damage to Life Points is activated (except Battle Damage), switch the damage you receive to your opponent’s Life Points. Simply flip The Immortal of Thunder, wait for it to be destroyed, destroy it yourself, or tribute it for a higher level monster, and use Barrel Behind the Door. Successfully use this combo and you'll see a gain of 3000 LP for yourself and a whopping 5000 LP loss to your opponent. The immortal ain't so useless anymore is he? Try building a deck around it, and tell me how it goes. I don't play much anymore, but would love to get back into it. Enjoy. Send all feedback to: Kabuto-kun jetskikris@aol.com
