Card Tips:Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
- Use this card in a "Genex" Fish Deck to easily discard cards like "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth" and to clear your opponent's field.
- This card works well with "T.A.D.P.O.L.E." - have the first "T.A.D.P.O.L.E." destroyed by battle, search the second two, and discard them for this card's effect.
- Combine this card with "Forced Requisition". (Note that you cannot activate the card itself when you discard with this effect, as it misses the timing.)
- This card's cost will activate the effects of some of the "Atlantean" and "Mermail" monsters:
- Discard "Atlantean Marksman" or "Atlantean Heavy Infantry" to destroy another of your opponent's cards;
- Discard "Atlantean Dragoons" to add 1 different Sea Serpent-Type monster from your Deck to your hand;
- Discard "Mermail Abysshilde" to Special Summon a different "Mermail" monster from you hand;
- Discard "Mermail Abyssgunde" to revive a different "Mermail" monster.
- In a pure "Ice Barrier" deck, this card can be used to send monsters to the Graveyard to be Summoned by "General Gantala of the Ice Barrier" or "Prior of the Ice Barrier".
