The power of Red Eyes by Sean ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: seanslcars@comcast.net Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 07:51:16 +0000 Hey Sean’s back with a new round of articles. Hope you enjoy them, and don’t forget to check out www.seanzhomepage.freeservers.com and go to the first custom page for my yugioh stuff. Checking out the power of the Red Eyes Black Dragon. For a long time, Red Eyes was a useless piece of cardboard with seriously cool artwork on it. OK as trade bait, but otherwise a piece of garbage. We had an early, ridiculously lame attempt to improve it with Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon, but Red Eyes was relegated to the sidelines. Then Soul of the Duelist was released, and Red Eyes became a contender. Let’s take a look at the cards essential to a Red Eyes Deck. Red Eyes Black Dragon: Duh. I know it’s obvious. Red Eyes is the key to a Red Eyes deck (I want an award for the most obvious, least necessary statement ever made on pojo for that one.) 2400 ATK, 7-star, DARK dragon obviously is poor without support. So let’s move on shall we? Red Eyes Black Chick: No, it isn’t Beyonce with weird contacts. This monster is how you summon Red Eyes most of the time. Just summon it, then tribute it instantly for Red Eyes. Since it’s a special summon, it’s basically a free summoning of the mighty dragon. Also, REBC can be brought out by mystic tomato, furthering it’s flexibility. Inferno Fire Blast: The second deadly Red Eyes support card to come out of Soul of the Duelist. Dealing 2400 damage is pretty powerful. Over a quarter of your opponent’s life points disappear in one stroke. Ouch. Lord of D: Actually, the main purpose of this card is NOT to combo with Flute of Summoning Dragon. This guy will protect your dragon from the majority of evil things out there, such as snatch steal and ring of destruction. Keeping Red Eyes alive is vital, and that’s Lord of D’s main job. Here’s my idea on a Red Eyes deck: Monsters Level 5+: 4 Jinzo Red Eyes B Dragon Red Eyes B Dragon Red Eyes B Dragon Monsters Level 4-: 13 Red Eyes B Chick Red Eyes B Chick Red Eyes B Chick Spirit Reaper Spirit Reaper Spirit Reaper Luster Dragon Luster Dragon Luster Dragon Mystic Tomato Mystic Tomato Lord of D Lord of D Spells: 15 Stamping Destruction Stamping Destruction Stamping Destruction Nobleman of Crossout Nobleman of Crossout Heavy Storm Change of Heart MST Premature Burial Pot of Greed Snatch Steal The Flute of Summoning Dragon Inferno Fire Blast Inferno Fire Blast Inferno Fire Blast Traps: 8 Waboku Waboku Waboku Torrential Tribute Dust Tornado Dust Tornado Call of the Haunted Magic Jammer Red Eyes can fight. His teeth are back. However, I think he’s best as a casual deck. He’s just not quite powerful enough to win most tournaments. Comments? Questions?
