Somehow I’ve spent the last month with Harpies. I’ve had an academic sort of fun with them. I’ve tested their Xyz options, many main deck options, and tried to add my own spin along the way. These are some of the Harpie tech cards I’ve tested along the way.
Considering my recent articles, I figured it was only fitting to make a deck profile.
Here’s some interesting tech ideas for Ultra Athletes.
We go over a ton of Ninja combos and strategies, discuss their increasing power as new sets are released, and delve into a heaping helping of segues.
In my last article, I talked about the Ritual Djinn monsters and how their accessibility provides Gishkis lock-down and field control effects. This article will focus on HEROS, specifically the extra force they can bring to Gishkis.
The Djinn of Rituals monsters are an archetype whose main goal is to be used as material for ritual summons. They can all be utilized from the hand, the field, and even banished from the graveyard when used as ritual material. This allows them to be tributed at least twice, once from the hand or field, and once from the graveyard.
In this article, we’ll discuss the different ways in which Gishkis can use them. However, I will not be discussing the Level 1 Djinn Disserere of Rituals because it has extremely low playability with Evigishki Mind Augus and Evigishki Soul Ogre. Gishki Vanity would provide adequate protection, is searchable, recoverable, and can be used to summon Mind Augus effectively. So, without further ado…
Each Gishki monster, with the exception of Vanity, attempts to fetch cards to your hand in some way. You can easily rate the ones that will be most useful to you based on how quickly and accurately they can perform their effect.
This deck is a Casual-Competitive style deck. Basically, you can contend really well with some rouge style decks, and maybe even get lucky against some highly competitive decks. Urnight and Powerhand are huge beaters by themselves and, when combined with the Karakuri combo, get into the gravy.
In lieu of Summoner Monk‘s recent jump to the semi-limited section of the September 2011 banlist, I thought it would be appropriate to look at what, to some was an overlook-able card and a change on the banlist that wont effect the meta-game, but in my book is a fantastic new addition to some overlooked decks of the past and even some desirable support for decks of the future. Here’s a look at its effect:
“This card cannot be Tributed. When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, it is changed to Defense Mode. Once per turn, you can discard 1 Spell Card to Special Summon 1 Level 4 Monster from your Deck. It cannot attack this turn.”
