There is no weather forecast today as Kyle, Justen, and Matt get straight down to the news. Lots of discussion on new cards and holiday products like the collectors tins and legendary collection.
As much as I love all of your Tygerius ideas, I have to ask; what’s the point of summoning Tygerius? You want most of your GBs in the deck anyways, and it only adds monsters. Perhaps if it could be used as a Fusion Material Monster it would be better, but it can’t, so its only use is a quick +1 then Xyz into a Rank 4 when it would usually be better to bring out Bestiari and go into Gyzarus or Heraklinos.
We’re generally not talking a standard GB deck when we talk about Tygerius, we’re talking a weird Samnite builds. The standard GB deck has really been ground to a core that can’t be simplified much more, it’s optimized to almost its fullest extent. I know at least me and Matt always see lots of potential in alternate usage of GBs and this idea with Tygerius revolves around a far more cyclically based deck that’s about really slow and effective advantage making through the graveyard using most specifically the card Indomitable Gladiator Beast, one of my favorite support cards. It may not be most peoples cup of tea for the deck, it may not be the best route at all, but I prefer a more original approach to GBs.
On another note, Tygerius also has the benefit of being tied for the highest attack monster that can tag into a Laquari(tied with Lanista, which is essentially its purpose in the Icarus Attack build), so it’s the most ideal Proving Ground target. Also he’s able to use Horn of the Phantom Beast, which we’re always looking at for GBs since that card’s awesome.
Unless I’m misunderstanding you, you seem to be under the impression that Tygerius can tag out; he can’t. He can’t be fused, and he can’t tag out. He’s basically useless except for Horn, which while intriguing alongside Samnite, I’m not sure he’s the best guy for the job now that we have Firestar King – Soko and Essedarii. (although I do like the idea of using Tygerius to go into King, search Tenki, and then searching a Laquari to tag or an Ensho/Yushi to pop something and gain some more plusses).
Actually, all I think I’m getting at is that Firestar/GBs are the future of both archetypes.
Uhg, I just assumed he could tag out! Why would they make a GB that can’t tag? (And yes I know there are some)
Because they thought his effect was too broken.
