Shutdown Deck, Card Review, and Spoilers-Crzydrvr

 

Hey everyone! Back with another article. Article number 15 actually.
Wow, that's not a lot at first glance, but it sure feels like a lot.
Anyways, I've got three things for you today. A card review (again on
a veery popular card), a Shutdown deck, and some more spoilers. I've
got our review right here:

Dark Magician of Chaos
Ultra Rare / DARK
Type - Spellcaster / Effect Monster
When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully,
you can add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. A monster
that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle is removed
from play instead of going to the Graveyard. When this card is
destroyed or removed from the field, it is removed from play.
Traditional:4.5/5
Advanced:4.75/5

Crzydrvr-This card is BROKEN. 1st effect is awesome, second is good,
and the third is now incredible thanks to Escape from the Dark
Dimension. The only downside is that it's limited.
Traditional: 4 stars/5
Advanced: 4.5 stars/5

John-Well well. Possibly one of my favourite cards in the game. certainly one of the easiest to abuse, as his effect comes off when you normal or special summon him, although you wont usually be normal summoning him. there are a ton of ways of dumping him for his effect. one that springs to mind is dumping him for either Trade-In or Allure Of Darkness, then use the old monster reborn or Return From The Different Dimension. Both of which set up for a great swarm. if you really do want to normal summon him, then i suppose you could lose 2 (or one if you use Double Coston) monsters for it, although i prefer myself to special summon him.
Noting that the spell card can be any spell card you want, it makes our friend Dark Magician Of Chaos very splashable, although not a priority choice, but very splashable, as at least 35% of a deck will be spells so it makes sense.
Ratings:
Advanced: 5/5 due to his use! i use him in almost all of my decks (except burn)
Traditional: 5/5 dark, can get your Pot Of Greed back, another monster for reborn, dimension fusion etc.

 

As well we are now looking for a new member to join our review crew. If interested email me at crzydrvr1995@gmail.com. We'll test you with a sample review and we are looking for another member or two. This is NOT a real job, so no pay, just volunteer work.

Now that that's done, let's get onto our Shutdown deck:

Wave-Motion Lockdown

Monsters x18
x3 Marauding Captain
x3 Command Knight
x3 Magician's Valkyrie
x2 Warrior Lady of the Wasteland
x2 Mirage Dragon
x1 Sangan
x1 Mask of Darkness
x1 Marshmallon
x1 Jinzo
x1 Black Stego

Spells x10
x3 Wave-Motion Cannon
x2 Marshmallon Glasses
x1 Monster Reborn
x1 Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Lightning Vortex
x1 Smashing Ground
x1 Swords of Revealing Light

Traps x12
x3 Magic Drain
x2 Dust Tornado
x1 Royal Decree
x1 Mirror Force
x1 Bottomless Trap Hole
x1 Jar of Greed
x1 Magic Cylinder
x1 Negate Attack
x1 Begone Knave!

The point of the deck is to win by using Wave-Motion Cannon (W-MC) to
deal damage while using all other cards to protect them. Swords of
Revealing Light can buy time, and Magician's Valkyrie, Marauding
Captain, and Command Knight keep from attacks. There's 3 W-MCs, so you
can use one up to about 2 or 3 turns then send it to the grave, while
preparing for another. Numerous Spell/Trap destruction can protect
against spells/traps, and Jinzo, Royal Decree, Magic Drain all do that
well.

Now all that's left is to show some more spoilers wOot. Here's some
