Subject: When to atk scapegoats by J

In my first writing Shonen Jump's, Regionals and thoughts by J i wrote about yugioh having 35% skills, and how one can use the oppenents cards against them like scapegoat.

my opinion:

few examples when not to atk scapegoats

1st) say it is like the middle of the game you have atleast 4 cards less than your oppenent, you summon cyber dragon sac cyber for zaborg destroy an oppenents fd monsters and atk directly but than he activate goats, he gains 4 tokens. this moment you think about to atk or not. i wouldnt atk beacuse i have 4 cards in total less than my oppenent. u can wait it out until u equal his hand. the oppent some times might set a mon even though he has for goats, do not atk that mon until say ur equal or have more cards than ur oppenent. the oppenent might snatch ur zaborg and atk u directly, its fine take the hit unless ur gona lose and then u start setting ur own mons lets say searchers u start gaining and he cant summon his key cards.some times the oppenent gets frustrated and summons and activates torrential triute so he can start atking.

2nd) say you and your oppenent have about the same number of cards in total. lets use the same scenrio i special summon cyber than sac for saborg destroy tomatoe atk directly than he activates goats, he gains 4 tokens than u decide whether to atk or not. ud probably atk because you have about the same number of cards as your oppenent and once your done atking all his goats its a plus, but remember just dont count cards, look at the types of cards you have at your disposal. ex: i wouldnt atk with zaborg if my hand looked liked this (mst, smashing ground, bottomless, creature swap). what wrong with this picture, the problem is you have no other monsters to come to your aid when your zaborg is destroyed. he is the only thing protecting your life points. wait until u draw atleast 1 to 2 other monsters so just in case your only mon is destroyed u have other mons for support. you atk later they activate saku kill ur zaborg than they start summoning reapers tomatoes etc and they are atking u directly even though u can destroy them with ur magic and traps u have taken damage and u have lost few cards in the process, they start setting more mons because u have atked their goats and then they start comboing you and tsy lock you.

3rd) you and your oppent have about the same number of cards but the life point count is say for ex me 1000 to an oppents 7000. dont atk atk the goats until u can make a big play like with heavy return etc and u have protection for your life.

so when dueling always look for the different options, think in advance, always look at life, cards at your disposal, cards in grave yard and etc, because one bad move can cost you the game.

J

NEXT ILL WRITE ABOUT WHAT CARDS YOU CAN USE TO COUNTER THE CURRENT METAGAME, BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF PEOPLE SEE THE DECKS AT METAGAME, THEY'LL START NETDECKING.
