MORE Underated and Overated - fridginators ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Azza Fridginators" Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 19:19:11 +1100 hiya! I think i have writing fever! This is not one, two but three articles produced between 3 days or something like that! Now who else does so much writing? (Tranorix, im telling you to let me be a featured writer!) But anway............................ Today's argument is about more underated and overated cards. Cards that have been used too little/too often. So here is my 5 cents (in australia we dont use 2 cents :P). OVERATED 1. Waboku Heh, i get kicks out of kicking this card. I HATE WABOKU! IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING! ANYONE WHO BASHES WABOKU WILL GET SOME BROWNIE POINTS! Look, the ONLY and i repeat ONLY reason people use waboku is because its chainable. Imagine if waboku wasnt chainable, or if we didnt have it, either way it would be Negate Attack. Now, Waboku's effect is not that good. Sure it protects you, but does it do anything else? Will it win you games? Will it kill opponents monsters regularly (i say that because of the waboku-2 monsters with same atk thing)? Will it provide hand/field advantage? NO IT WONT! In Advanced (either one) monster removal is FAR more important than chainability. If this wasnt chainable we would all be running sakuretsus instead which incidentally, own this cards poo poo bum bum. Even Jae agrees! Run this if you want me to run to your house screaming with a pan over my head and my drumsticks in hand (trust me, they hurt a lot) 2. Confiscation Yes this is banned. Not rightfully so. Confiscation as everyone should know is the WORST of the 3 pre-negators (Delinquent, Forceful and Confiscation). Destroying a card in hand is great, wonderful. But it is the 1000 Life point payment that kills it. Forcerful is great because it has no cost, has more holofoil and sends the card the the deck, a place where getting cards from is much harder. Sure, destroying a BLS is great. Broken even. But really, i took this out of my deck. It didnt do enough and i already ran 2 dons and forceful. I dont believe this card is ban worthy, its not dominating. Its powerful, but not broken. Send konami angry emails about why this should be switched with Delinquent in restriction positions. 3. WABOKU! ARGH 1 REVIEW ISNT ENOUGH! DESTROY ALL COPIES OF WABOKU! MUST DESTROY WABOKU. MUST DESTROY WABOKU! 4. Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch Man, this guy SUCKS! Usually when you want a tribute monster, you take into account their importance of requiring a tribute. Airknight gives you draw power and trample. Jinzo - Trap negation. Mobius - m/t destruction. Blowback - ......................... Mefist - Discarding. See? EVEN MEFIST BEATS THIS! Thestalos doesnt offer much of an advantage. Sure, 1 discard never hurt. But why not run Mobius who kills 2 m/t? Why not run airknight who offers great drawing? IMO Thestalos is an overated piece of junk. There are way better tributes than him. Unlike the other monarchs who all offer great advantage, Thestalos only offers a small one. The burn damage isnt that good. 800 at most for discarding (you lucky bastard) BLS. *see conclusion of 1st waboku* Oh stuff it. Maybe i am growing Apathetic. Sorry, but typing so much stuff does give you a headache. Oh ill continue this article then. But im signing off write now. Bye. azza / fridginators ph33r th3 fr1dg35
