| |
| − | '''Beast''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|獣|けもの}} ''Kemono'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Beast monsters consist mainly of wild animals. They are typically [[EARTH]] Attribute monsters, although [[LIGHT]] and [[FIRE]] monsters of this Type are not uncommon. Beast monsters are often overlooked, but often have great utility. Because they are relatively low in number compared to more popular monster Types, there is no one specific theme or strategy common to them, though many have effects that assist them during the Battle Phase. Many Beast monsters are weaker utility monsters that splash well into other Decks, like "[[Nimble Momonga]]", but a few Beast monsters are potent on their own, such as "[[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]", which Summons itself whenever ANY Beast monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, "[[Master of Oz]]", which is one of the strongest Fusion Monsters available in terms of sheer [[ATK]], and "[[Naturia Beast]]", which has a potent [[Spell Card]] lockdown. One Beast monster, "[[Rescue Cat]]", was previously only truly useful for setting up [[Ojama]] [[Fusion Summon|Fusions]], but after the release of [[Synchro Monster]]s, it became a near-invaluable staple card by Summoning a Beast [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] and another Beast monster for an immediate [[Synchro Summon]]; due to this, it was the source of many [[OTK]]s, and eventually became Forbidden, and then [[Errata|errata'd]] years later. This strategy has been supported in ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'' with the inclusion of several cards used by [[Team Unicorn]], where as their [[Deck]]s are based on Synchro Summoning using mostly Beast monsters to Summon their "[[Thunder Unicorn]]", "[[Voltic Bicorn]]", and "[[Lightning Tricorn]]", which are all Beast Synchro Monsters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Archetype]]s include the "[[Ojama]]", "[[Sphinx]]", and "[[Koala]]" (anime only) monsters, as well as the "[[Nordic Beast]]" sub-archetype and "[[The Fabled]]" series. In addition, a good portion of the "[[Crystal Beast]]" monsters fall underneath this Type as well as the "[[Performapal]]" and "[[ZW -]]" archetypes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some other respectable Beast monsters are "[[Rescue Rabbit]]", "[[Super-Nimble Mega Hamster]]", "[[Zeman the Ape King]]", "[[Earthbound Immortal Cusillu]]", "[[Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest]]", "[[Bazoo the Soul-Eater]]", "[[Berserk Gorilla]]", "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]", "[[Outstanding Dog Marron]]", "[[Mosaic Manticore]]", "[[Behemoth the King of All Animals]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Dark Panther]]", "[[ZW - Leo Arms]]", and "[[Voltic Kong]]".

| |
| − | ==Beast Decks==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Moja Deck===
| |
| − | A Moja Deck is based around three TCG-Exclusive cards released in ''[[Raging Battle]]''; "[[Moja]]", "[[King of the Beasts]]", and "[[Beast Striker]]". The idea is to have a "King of the Beasts" in the Graveyard and continuously re-Summon "Moja" so that "King of the Beasts" can continually revive itself no matter how many times it is destroyed. An example decklist can be found [http://www.konami.com/yugioh/blog/?p=1037 here].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For this Deck, you can use cards such as:
| |
| − | * "[[Kinka-byo]]": Not only is this a Beast monster, but its effect allows the re-Summon of "Moja" over and over – meaning you can Special Summon one "King of the Beasts" every turn and get this card back for later use.
| |
| − | * "[[Lock Cat]]": Not only is this a Beast monster, but its effect allows the Special Summon of "Moja" meaning you can Special Summon one "King of the Beasts".
| |
| − | * "[[Key Mouse]]": It can search out "Moja" to your hand, and other monsters like "Kinka-byo", "Lock Cat" and "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]".
| |
| − | * "[[Giant Rat]]": It can Special Summon "Moja" from the Deck, and benefits from "Moja"'s effect in return.
| |
| − | * "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster": It can Special Summon from the Deck in face-down Defense Position, "Moja", "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter", "Key Mouse", or any other Level 3 or lower Beast monster, and benefits from "Moja"'s effect in return.
| |
| − | * "Rescue Cat": Can also Special Summon "Moja", and can be retrieved by "Moja" in turn.
| |
| − | * "[[X-Saber Airbellum]]": It can be Special Summoned by "Rescue Cat" for an easy Synchro Summon. Its discard effect is one that rivals that of "[[Wind-Up Hunter]]".
| |
| − | * "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest": With even more ATK than "King of the Beasts", and an easy recursion effect, this is a handy card to have. Use it with "Rescue Cat"'s drawback to keep a monster on the field at the end of the turn, combo it with "Giant Rat" and "Moja", and much more.
| |
| − | * "Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest": Not as good as "Green Baboon" as it can only be Summoned from the hand, and requires the removal of Beast monsters from your Graveyard - not necessarily a good thing because they can be very useful there. However, "Yellow Baboon" is not a bad card.
| |
| − | * "Mosaic Manticore": Summons "Moja" and another monster so you can recycle your monster, but be sure that your monster has an effect that activates in the Graveyard like "Key Mouse" and "Giant Rat".
| |
| − | * "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter": A Beast monster with a nasty flip effect that can mill "King of the Beasts" or "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest". If this card is destroyed and you mill "Green Baboon", the baboon can be instantly Summoned! Also works with "Rescue Cat" - you can Special Summon a Level 5 Synchro Monster when this card is paired with "X-Saber Airbellum".
| |
| − | * "[[Closed Forest]]": Your Beast monsters gain 100 ATK for every monster in your Graveyard, and it hurts other Decks that require Field Spells.
| |
| − | * "[[Creature Swap]]": Perfect for this Deck. It works incredibly well with "Moja", because of "Moja"'s low ATK and good effect. And you steal your opponent's monster into the bargain. "Giant Rat", "Kinka-byo", and "Key Mouse" are also very good for this purpose.
| |
| − | * "[[Foolish Burial]]": Instantly puts a "King of the Beasts" or a "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest" into the Graveyard for later use.
| |
| − | * "[[Pot of Avarice]]" ([[Traditional Format]] only): You will be discarding with "Beast Striker", milling with "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter", thinning the Deck with "Giant Rat" and "Rescue Cat" - this is perfect to use. With "Pot of Avarice", "Beast Striker"'s effect can be used more than just 3 times.
| |
| − | * "[[Solidarity]]": Buffs "King of the Beasts" to 3300 ATK, and allows you to destroy cards more easily. The drawback is not being able to use cards like "[[Sangan]]" or "[[Card Trooper]]".
| |
| − | * "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]": Cards cannot be banished, so "Moja", "King of the Beasts", "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest", and other monsters cannot be banished.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Imperial Beast Deck===
| |
| − | This Deck basically uses "Kinka-byo" to bring out a "Moja" or a "Key Mouse" and Special Summon as many "[[Chain Dog]]s" as you can.
| |
| − | Then use the appropriate effect: If you choose a "Moja", bring a "King of the Beasts" or Synchro Summon a "[[Naturia Leodrake]]", "[[Mist Wurm]]", "Naturia Beast", or "Thunder Unicorn" if it is a "Key Mouse".
| |
| − | "[[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" cannot be an option because you must use "Imperial Iron Wall" to recycle "Chain Dog" and protect your cards from being banished like "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest" and the monster that is Special Summoned by your "Kinka-byo".
| |
| − | This Deck must be fast so cards such as "[[Hand Destruction]]", "Foolish Burial", "[[Card Destruction]]", and "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter" can help this.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For this Deck, you can use cards such as:
| |
| − | * "Kinka-byo"
| |
| − | * "Lock Cat"
| |
| − | * "Key Mouse"
| |
| − | * "Chain Dog"
| |
| − | * "Behemoth the King of All Animals
| |
| − | * "[[Egotistical Ape]]"
| |
| − | * "Giant Rat"
| |
| − | * "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster"
| |
| − | * "X-Saber Airbellum"
| |
| − | * "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest"
| |
| − | * "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter"
| |
| − | * "Creature Swap"
| |
| − | * "Foolish Burial"
| |
| − | * "[[One for One]]"
| |
| − | * "Pot of Avarice"
| |
| − | * "Solidarity"
| |
| − | * "[[Berserking]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Horn of the Phantom Beast]]"
| |
| − | * "[[Super Rush Recklessly]]"
| |
| − | * "Imperial Iron Wall"
| |
| − | * "[[Royal Decree]]"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Weenie Beasts===
| |
| − | This Deck is based around swarming the field with Beast mosnters, mainly using "Rescue Cat", and increasing their ATK for an OTK. The Deck is known as "Weenie" Beasts because, individually, most of the monsters in this Deck have quite low ATK.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some suggestions of cards to use in this Deck:
| |
| − | * "Rescue Cat": One of the key cards in this Deck. It can be used to Summon most of the monsters in the Deck and is essential for pulling off an OTK. You can search for either cards like "[[Milus Radiant]]" to pull off an OTK, or you can use it to grab "X-Saber Airbellum" and another card for a quick Synchro Summon.
| |
| − | * "Milus Radiant": Another very important monster, it can give a boost to your entire field; more than one on the field at a time can be deadly.
| |
| − | * "[[Tree Otter]]": Another very important card, it can give a boost to another Beast monster; more than one on the field at a time can be powerful. Very useful with "Rescue Cat".
| |
| − | * "[[Hyena]]": Another very important monster if your Deck is based around swarming Beast monsters, it can give a powerful combo with "Rescue Cat" and "Creature Swap".
| |
| − | * "Chain Dog": Another very important beast if your deck is based around swarming Beast monsters, Special Summons from your Graveyard if you control exactly 2 face-up Beast monsters, combine with "X-Saber Airbellum" and Synchro Summon "[[Voltic Bicorn]]".
| |
| − | * "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter": Mills 3 cards and destroys a card, a perfect fit for this Deck.
| |
| − | * "Naturia Beast": An easy-to-Summon Synchro Monster, as most cards in this Deck are EARTH Attribute. It shuts down Spells and mills 2 cards each time, which is another perfect fit. It is also very easy to Summon with "Rescue Cat".
| |
| − | * "Key Mouse": Can search out most cards in the Deck.
| |
| − | * "Giant Rat": Can Summon a lot of cards from the deck, including "Rescue Cat".
| |
| − | * "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]": Can be extremely useful in combination with such cards as "Milus Radiant".
| |
| − | * "[[Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane]]": Can pull a "Rescue Cat" from your Graveyard, which you can cycle for two more cards. It can also get a "Milus Radiant", which you can use "Inferno Reckless Summon" on for two more.
| |
| − | * "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest": A useful card that can be used in combination with "Rescue Cat"'s ability, which destroys the monsters at the end of the turn.
| |
| − | * "[[Gaia Power]]": A free ATK boost to your whole field.
| |
| − | * "X-Saber Airbellum": A Beast Tuner that can be Summoned with "Rescue Cat".
| |
| − | * "[[Sea Koala]]": Can help destroy any Attack Position monster on the opponent's the field.
| |
| − | * "Closed Forest": A powerful Field Spell for swarming Decks, because all Beast monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each monster in your Graveyard and neither player can activate Field Spell Cards, and Field Spell Cards cannot be activated during the turn it is destroyed.
| |
| − | * "[[Spiritual Forest]]": Each turn, the first face-up Beast monster you control that would be destroyed by battle is not destroyed, which is extremely useful for several combos.
| |
| − | * "[[Level Limit - Area B]]": Can be used for stalling, but can hinder "Green Baboon". On the bright side, it does not stop "Naturia Beast"'s effect.
| |
| − | * "[[Poison Fangs]]": Each time a Beast monster inflicts battle damage to your opponent, inflict extra 500 damage.
| |
| − | * "[[The Big March of Animals]]": It can give up to as much as 1000 ATK boost to your whole field.
| |
| − | * "[[Wild Nature's Release]]": Increases the ATK of 1 Beast monster by an amount equal to its DEF, but the monster is destroyed during the End Phase of the turn it is activated. After that, you can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon "Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest" from your hand or Graveyard.
| |
| − | * "Solidarity": An extra 800 ATK each is amazing and can stack up quickly.
| |
| − | * "[[Gravity Bind]]": See above "Level Limit - Area B".
| |
| − | : This Deck can also be built using "Royal Decree"; just take out most of the Traps and put these in.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Sphinx Beasts===
| |
| − | The Sphinx Beasts can be used as additional support for most Beast Decks, especially the ones that do not have very powerful monsters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *"[[Andro Sphinx]]"
| |
| − | *"[[Sphinx Teleia]]"
| |
| − | *"[[Theinen the Great Sphinx]]"
| |
| − | *"[[Pyramid of Light]]"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Tiger Beasts===
| |
| − | This build revolves around "[[Flame Tiger]]" and sometimes "Chain Dog", to perform quick Xyz Summons. "[[Flamvell Firedog]]" is recommended, as it Summons "Flame Tiger" instantly, allowing you to speed up the setup. Some builds revolve around "[[Skill Drain]]" since it will not negate the Deck's key cards (as both "Tiger" and "Dog" activate in the Graveyard) and ruins most of the setups in the meta.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *"Flame Tiger"
| |
| − | *"Chain Dog"
| |
| − | *"King Tiger Wanghu"
| |
| − | *"[[Beast King Barbaros]]" (only if running "Skill Drain")
| |
| − | *"Horn of the Phantom Beast"
