I'm amazed
that some people think this card sucks. It's easy to
summon, its attack is pretty good, just falling
short of Jinzo, and its effect kills off monsters
like Jinzo, a face-up witch, basically anything that
might try to threaten it. It's also common, making
it easy for anyone to pick up. He's also, like Envoy
of the Beginning, great sacrificial bait for Great
Maju Garzett. Imagine removing the opponent's Jinzo,
then sacrificing Chaos Sorcerer to bring out Great
Maju, dealing them 4600 damage through battle. Not
bad.
Constructed: 3.5/5
Limited: 2/5
I'm sure some will look at this and say "WHAT? HE'S
GOOD THOUGH!". He is, but in limited, with only IOC
packs, you'll find that getting any decent light or
dark monsters along with Chaos Sorceror may prove to
be difficult. |

Friday:
Chaos Sorcerer
Black Luster Soldier -- Envoy of the Beginning had a
little brother that was malformed, malnourished, and
retarded. And here he is.
This card is mainly going to be used by those who
can't get Black Luster Soldier but run Light and
Dark monsters already. For the same requirements as
the 3,000 ATK twice or remove monster, you get the
chance to remove, 700 less attack, and it can't
attack twice.
But in retrospect, this card isn't all that bad.
It's special summonable, it takes out everything
normally played except Jinzo and Ha Des, and it can
remove those two if it needs to. Either way, I still
don't see a reason to play multiples, because people
usually didn't play more than 3 Chaos monsters when
they weren't restricted due to how hard the
summoning was without a Painful Choice in the
opening draw.
Just as we have the poor man's Beatdown, consisting
of Giant Orcs, and Normal Rare 4-star 1900
attackers, we have the poor man's Chaos deck, with
this as its centerpiece.

Friday: Chaos Sorcerer
The forgotten Chaos monster! Well, forgotten or
budget, whichever sounds better. Anyway, today's
card is the often overlooked Chaos Sorcerer.
Overlooked why, you ask? Quite simple...it's not as
good as the other Chaos monsters, so people tend not
even to notice it exists. Tsk tsk.
Remove one LIGHT; remove one DARK. Everyone should
know which LIGHTS and DARKS are good to run by now;
if not, just check out other reviews. Basically,
it's a very cheap summon. The stats aren't half bad
either; 2300 for a Special Summon is nothing to
laugh at.
Then we have his effect. He can remove a face up
monster on the field from play. What's not to like
about that? Is that Jinzo pestering you? Special
Summon this guy and your problems are solved. Get
rid of Witches, Sangans, and all that other
nonsense. Or just slap your opponent for a hefty
2300 damage, over 1/4 his Life Points.
Why don't people play this? There isn't room. With
only so many reliable ways to get LIGHTS and DARKS
in the Graveyard, people can barely accommodate
Black Luster Soldier – EotB and Chaos Emperor Dragon
– EotE. If not for them, Chaos Sorcerer would see
much more play. And for that reason I'm not basing
my score on this card’s inferiority to the other
Chaos monsters, but rather on its own potential.
Typical tournament deck: 3.5/5
Dedicated Chaos deck: 4/5
OVERALL RATING: 3.8/5 |
