wartortle32	Today we look at Delinquent duo.  In my opinion, this was the worst edit by upperdeck in changing the names around.  Who things mischievious demon twins sounds better?  Anyway's back to the actual card itself, you pay 1000 LP to discard 1 randomly chosen card an 1 card that the opponent picks.  Like all the discarding cards in magic ruler, this card is defnitley best when you're going first.  AT that time, you can play it before the opponent has a chance to counter it or to set any of his good cards on the field.  You can eliminate almost half his starting hand with this. How does this stand up to confiscation or forceful sentry?  I's just rather go with the sentry.  Instead of doing stuff at random, you can acutaly take a look at the opponent hand and then choose one that you decide to get rid of. In japan, this card is restricted to 1.  No doubt it will be restricted here too.  Probably 2 per deck at first and then down to 1. I give this card a 3/5.  Great as a starting card, not so great further along in the duel. wartortle32
Scott Gerhardt	STUPOR!!!! Okay - Magic players get it.  This card is better than that, though, when you only start with 5 in hand rather than 7, and it can get kicked off turn 1.  Making them drop 2 cards will foil any Exodia strategy and can foil other strategies as well.  It's 1000LP, but early on it's quite worth it to foil your opponent's strategy before it can get off the ground.  Quite nice. Rating:  4.5
Yonex	Introduction: Oh their goes your exodia pieces BHWHHAHA! Normal Magic Delinquent Duo Pay 1000 Life Points. Randomly select and discard 1 card from your opponent's hand. Your opponent then selects and discards another card from his/her hand. Why should you use it? *Burys 1 random and another one. *Card Advantage *Takes away SOME threats Why shouldn't you use it? *Opponent no hand *1000 Life Points Reasons: One of my favorite cards in Magic Ruler. This card can easily destroy and opponents hand. Play this opening move, it's gonna kill. So basically your trading 1 for 2 cards, which of course is good. This card can take away the opening threats, or futhure threats, and can help you. Well not much more to say about this card other than it's great. Now the negatives points, no real negative points about it, but oh well. This card is useless if your opponent doesn't have a hand. I found this card to be used right away if you get it, or when your opponent has a big hand. Also 1000 Life Points isn't that steep, but it should be okay at the begging. Rating: Supreme card. One of the best Magic Ruler card currently. I have to give this card a 4.5 (woah haven't see that number in a while). Even though it may seem I'm bais, I kind of am, but this card is great, must use in every deck. Oh yeah by the way this card is soon to be restricted. I wonder why? Conclusion: YoNeX goes to reload this staple gun. Staples this card and destroys. Aww man, oh well let's get another one. Since I can and their that good! -YoNeX
NickWhiz1	Today is Monday, beginning my first week of picking Magic Ruler Cards of the Day.  and we're going to look at actually good cards this week (happy IQ?).  Today's card is a soon-to-be-restricted-and-deck-staple, Delinquent Duo.   Card Text: Normal Magic Pay 1000 Life Points. Randomly select and discard 1 card from your opponent's hand. Your opponent then selects and discards another card from his/her hand.   Analysis: I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the most powerful card in the entire set.  Yes, you heard me.   Delinquent Duo is the most powerful card in the English Magic Ruler set.   You want to know why?   Think of the classic example of "cards in your hand = options you have during the game", and you will understand.   Deep into the game, the average hand size in the game is around 3.  If you pull out one of these, you have just effectively limited your opponent's options by 66.7%.  Not only that, but you can then use Robbin' Goblin or a similar effect to get that last card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard, and your opponent is stuck wishing for a good draw every turn, otherwise the game is over for them.   Yes, you could do this with the other cards, but this highly speeds up the process.  This card could decrease the number of turns needed to gain an advantage by 1-2, and the quicker you can get a big advantage over your opponent, the better.   Not only that, but for the time being, this card isn't even restricted (though it will be restricted to either 1 or 2 with the (hopefully) coming Magic Ruler restrictions, and eventually it will definitely be restricted to 1), so snatch 3 of these (it is Ultra Rare, so good luck), and watch your opponent suffer a horrible, horrible death.  Just don't use them in official tournies, or you'll be disqualified!  (Magic Ruler is banned until there is a restriction list.)   Should YOU play it? Any deck can benefit from this card.  Did I mention it shuts down Exodia as well?   Score: Delinquent Duo gets a 4.7.  It is probably the best card in the set (at least, in my opinion), but it's not perfect.  The 1000 LP may set you back a little bit, and it's obviously useless if your opponent's hand is already empty, but it is still very powerful.  Gotta love those Mischevious Demon Twins! ^_^;;;
IQ	Delinquent Duo This card is way too powerful for the current environment. There aren't many good cards that allow you to draw cards and this evil thing makes your opponent get rid of two from his hand. The good thing is that this card comes with two draw backs. No, having to pay 1000 life points for this card is not a draw back. I'll pay 1000 life points any day to get rid of 2 cards from my opponent's hand. The REAL draw backs are.... 1) This card is not that great in the late game because your opponent probably won't even have two cards in his hand. After you play the first one your opponent will find ways to play out his hand so this card will most likely be a dead card after you play the first one.... if you're playing against a smart opponent. o.0 2) The second this card was released the count down started, everyone and their dog knows this card is geting limited to 1 per deck. So trading for 3 of them is not such a great idea. It's just a matter of when will Upper Deck finally make it official. Rating 3.9
