GSun's Yu-gi-oh! Artical No. 2 - Black Luster Soldier - The Envoy of the Beginning Duel Monsters Monster Look Ats GSun253926337@msn.com Artical #2 : Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning Sorry for the delay. My computer was acting up. Many people will read only this one review. This card is one of my favorites (on most hated!!) and it's the favorite of many others. This card is a beast. Dark Magician has combos and potential to be powerful. This guy is just brute force wrapped in an easy summon. Plus, he's cool and shinny. What is power? Many would say that power is money. Others say power is fame. I say, in our post-ban environment, power is this guy. He can remove anything from the game. Anything. A D.D. Warrior Lady. That face-down Fiber Jar you were hoping to change the tides of battle with. The cost? Black Luster Soldier's ability to attack for one turn. Not a bad cost. If you don't want to remove, then he can attack. As an added bonus, when he kills a monster, he can attack ONE more time. Wow. He's a beast! In good old Pennsylvania were I live, people argue about whether the Emperor or the Soldier is more destructive. I personally think that the Emperor is more destructive, but make your own opinions. Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning has a lot of support, but little need for it. He's a warrior. That gives him extreme amounts of support. Warriors have too much support. To name a few cards, there is A(llied) Forces, Marauding Captain locks protect him, Fusion Sword, he protects Command Knights and he gets a boost from them. It's safe to say he can do a lot. Black Luster Soldier has one slightly overlooked spell card, Primal Seed (or something similar). You can get back the monsters you used to summon it, but nothing more. That's it. Anything else is common sense and can be found in the CotD section. Sorry that this is so quick, but how much is there to say about a near-unstoppable card. My next article is about one of my friend's favorite card. If you'd like to see your favorite underrated monster reviewed, you can send me an e-mail at the above address. You can E-mail me about what you'd like me to review, or any dumb questions. JUST NO HATE MAIL!!! So until next Time! O one more thing. I'd like to give credit to LDiablO2169 for reminding me about Diffusion Wave Motion. Really, really good Dark Magician Card that's saved me many times. For those who don't know, It's a secret rare in Magician's Force and a variant in the new RSD special packs.
