Card Tips:Jinzo

Jinzo is one of the most feared cards to face in a Tournament. He automatically negates every Trap Card in play on both sides of the field, unless he is equipped with the Amplifier Equip Spell Card, in which case, whomever controls Jinzo, also regains the ability to Activate his/her own Trap Cards. However, when Amplifier is equipped, all the opponent has to do is Destroy Amplifier with Mystical Space Typhoon, or another card that destroys Spell Cards, to destroy Jinzo.

Jinzo is perhaps the sole reason (Royal Decree could be countered by Dust Tornado), why people in a Tournament don't use a deck that contains nothing but Trap Cards. However, Jinzo is vunerable to Double Snare, Solemn Judgment, Horn of Heaven, and other counter magics or traps which prevent summoning. It can also be taken control of by the opponent, since the player using Jinzo usually won't be able to counter it (Unless the opponent played Snatch Steal, and Jinzo's controller chained Mystical Space Typhoon).

You can also use Jinzo with Silent Swordsman LV7 or Spell Canceller to make the battle a monsters only battle.
